Do you think? Hologram? I think of that Tupac gig they did at Coachella where they used the hologram of Tupac. I actually played it the other day to my girlfriend when I was making a point. And I was like, that was... Circus act. It was amazing though. Amazing, yeah. See what's going on with ABBA in London?

So this ABBA show in London, from what I understand, that's all holograms on stage. Correct. And it's going to run in a purpose-built arena for 10 years. And it is incredible. It really is. So you go, why do you need Drake?

If that hologram is indistinguishable from Drake and it can perform even better than Drake and it's got more energy than Drake and it's, you know, I go, why do you need Drake to even be there? I can go to a Drake show without Drake. Cheaper. I might not even need to leave my house. I can just put a headset on. Correct.

what's the value of this to the listener? Oh, come on, you hurt me.

Because I think sometimes we underestimate what human beings actually want in an experience. I remember the story of a friend of mine that came to my office many years ago, and he tells the story of the CEO of a record store standing above the floor and saying, people will always come to my store because people love music.

Now, on the surface of it, his hypothesis seems to be true because people do love music. It's conceivable to believe that people will always love music. but they don't love traveling for an hour in the rain and getting in a car to get a plastic disc. What they wanted was music. What they didn't want is like evidently plastic discs that they had to travel for miles for.

And I think about that when we think about like public speaking and the Drake show and all of these things, like what people actually are coming for, even with this podcast, is probably like information. But do they really need us anymore for that information when there's going to be a sentient being that's significantly smarter than at least me and a little bit smarter than you?

When you talk about the immediate impacts on jobs, I'm trying to figure out in that equation, who are the people that stand to lose the most? Is it the everyday people in foreign countries that don't have access to the internet and won't benefit? You talk in your book about how this sort of wealth disparity will only increase.

You're saying tax those companies 98%, give the money to the humans that are going to be displaced.
