Yeah, Jack and I heard those words, and it is dark, it is freaky, it is dire, but Amadei says it's the truth, and society needs to face it so it can plan for a transition. How would all that happen? How would this mass replacement of human workers happen, Nick? Well, it would happen, Jack, with AI agents, which are basically computer windows that do work.

An AI agent is a white-collar worker minus the human form. It's just software. These AI agents take assignments and use various computer applications to get the work done, and they work 24 hours a day, seven days a week. And as CEOs discover AI agents, they're going to stop hiring human workers. and eventually lay human workers off.

Because as Dario said, an agent is AI that can do the work of humans instantly, indefinitely, and exponentially cheaper. That was the scary proclamation this week from Anthropic CEO Dario Amadei. So the way Jack and I see it, agents are like a new form of worker, right Jack? They're not blue collar. They're not white collar. We call it chrome collar. Chrome collar. White collar work done by bots.

Now, as Nick mentioned earlier, Sam Altman and OpenAI is better known than Dario Amadei and Anthropic is. Sam Altman, he's a little bit more optimistic in his public statements, isn't he, man? Although I get a sense that he's just pushing his agenda because it's best for his company.

Yeah, Sam points to past tech breakthroughs, and in each case, he does point out that human beings found other forms of work. He gave an example of lamplighters, men who used to walk from lamppost to lamppost lighting the fire so people could see in the dark. And what happened to those lamplighters, Jack? They got replaced by electricity. But you know what?

They ended up finding better jobs, and society had better lighting on the streets. Now, AI could be a slightly different analogy here. After all, computers pretty much run the world already. And until now, humans have run computers, but that could change soon. And when it does, blue-collar workers will do physical work with their hands. White-collar workers will do managerial work.

But chrome-collar workers, which are AI agents, will do the work on computers. So, Jack, what's the takeaway for everybody who just peed their pants a tiny bit? Tech leaders tend to be right about what happens, but wrong about when. Yetis, when the internet started booming in the 1990s, tech leaders predicted it would change the world. And the internet did eventually change the world. It did.
