So you're spot on. You are spot on. And actually, this is the reason why I, you know, I'm so grateful that you're hosting this, because the truth is the genie's out of the bottle. So people tell me, is AI game over? For our way of life, it is. For everything we've known, this is a very disruptive moment where maybe not tomorrow, but in the near future, our way of life will differ.

What will happen, what I'm asking people to do is to start considering what that means to your life. What I'm asking governments to do like I'm screaming, is don't wait until the first patient. You know, start doing something about it. We're about to see mass job losses. We're about to see, you know, replacements of... categories of jobs at large, okay?

Yeah, it may take a year, it may take seven, it doesn't matter how long it takes, but it's about to happen, are you ready? And I have a very, very clear call to action for governments. I'm saying tax AI-powered businesses at 98%, right?

So suddenly you do what the open letter was trying to do, slow them down a little bit, and at the same time, get enough money to pay for all of those people that will be disrupted by the technology.

Yeah, massively. The immediate impact on jobs is that, and it's really interesting, huh? Again, we're stuck in the same prisoner's dilemma. The immediate impact is that AI will not take your job. A person using AI will take your job, right?

So you will see within the next few years, maybe next couple of years, you'll see a lot of people upskilling themselves in AI to the point where they will do the job of 10 others who are not.

Yeah, or give the money to other humans that can build control code, that can figure out how we can stay safe. This sounds like an emergency. How do I say this? Remember when you played Tetris?

Okay. When you were playing Tetris, there was, you know, always, always one block that you placed wrong. And once you placed that block wrong, the game was no longer easier. You know, it started to gather a few mistakes afterwards and it starts to become quicker and quicker and quicker and quicker. When you placed that block wrong, you sort of told yourself, okay, it's a matter of minutes now.

There were still minutes to go and play and have fun before the game ended, but you knew it was about to end. This is the moment. We've placed the wrong. And I really don't know how to say this any other way. It even makes me emotional. We fucked up. We always said, don't put them on the open internet.
