  • 00:00:00
    so this video is rather important
  • 00:00:01
    because it discusses the future of
  • 00:00:03
    employment and it's not just a random
  • 00:00:05
    person this is from avatal balwit and
  • 00:00:08
    this is someone who actually works at
  • 00:00:09
    the frontier lab and thropic and her
  • 00:00:12
    insights into how the future of work and
  • 00:00:15
    employment is going to change are very
  • 00:00:17
    important for individuals like yourself
  • 00:00:19
    and of course me so I'm going to do a
  • 00:00:20
    deep dive on this entire thing because I
  • 00:00:22
    truly believe that this is really
  • 00:00:24
    important that you can stay ahead of the
  • 00:00:25
    future now if you enjoy videos that are
  • 00:00:27
    specifically focusing on how you can use
  • 00:00:29
    AI to better your life and of course
  • 00:00:31
    preparing for AGI such as how to invest
  • 00:00:33
    in Ai and benefit from the trillions of
  • 00:00:35
    dollars that are flowing into that
  • 00:00:36
    industry don't forget to check out my
  • 00:00:38
    post AGI preparedness group this is
  • 00:00:39
    where videos like this actually get
  • 00:00:41
    uploaded a few days earlier but without
  • 00:00:43
    wasting any more time let's get straight
  • 00:00:44
    back to the video because it's really
  • 00:00:45
    important so essentially this is a post
  • 00:00:48
    about my last 5 years of work now if you
  • 00:00:51
    aren't understanding the significance of
  • 00:00:53
    this trust me at least watch the first
  • 00:00:55
    10 minutes because it's truly truly
  • 00:00:57
    incredible so essentially what we have
  • 00:01:00
    here ladies and gentlemen is a post by
  • 00:01:01
    Avital balwit and this is anthropics
  • 00:01:04
    Chief of Staff okay and this is kind of
  • 00:01:07
    like a personal reflection SL diary on
  • 00:01:10
    how the next few years of you know the
  • 00:01:12
    economy are going to go for the average
  • 00:01:14
    person in regards to work and where they
  • 00:01:16
    fit into the economy and how things are
  • 00:01:19
    going to be working now the reason I'm
  • 00:01:21
    covering this is because I think this is
  • 00:01:24
    probably one of the most remarkable
  • 00:01:26
    insights that we are lucky to have to
  • 00:01:28
    get because a lot of these you know
  • 00:01:30
    people at Frontier labs they truly don't
  • 00:01:33
    talk about how the future of work is
  • 00:01:34
    going to be so it is something that I
  • 00:01:36
    think is very very important for us to
  • 00:01:38
    discuss because this is something that
  • 00:01:41
    is truly truly pivotal especially for
  • 00:01:44
    this Monumental period of time so there
  • 00:01:46
    are four main things I'm going to Tim
  • 00:01:47
    stamp them in the below but just take a
  • 00:01:49
    look at this so she says I am 25 okay
  • 00:01:53
    and the these next three years might be
  • 00:01:55
    the last few years that I work okay
  • 00:01:57
    remember this is anthropics chief of
  • 00:01:59
    staff and she says that the next 3 years
  • 00:02:01
    might be the last few years that I
  • 00:02:03
    actually work which is number one an
  • 00:02:05
    incredible statement but number two it
  • 00:02:08
    should show you the gravity of what we
  • 00:02:10
    are truly dealing with here it says I am
  • 00:02:12
    not ill nor am I becoming a stay-at-home
  • 00:02:14
    mom nor have I been so financially
  • 00:02:16
    fortunate to be on the brink of
  • 00:02:17
    voluntary retirement I stand at the age
  • 00:02:20
    of a technological development that
  • 00:02:22
    seems likely should it arrive to end
  • 00:02:25
    employment as I know it so this is not
  • 00:02:28
    some kind of clickbait title where I'm
  • 00:02:30
    trying to draw you in this is the exact
  • 00:02:32
    words from this person who is working
  • 00:02:35
    actively at anthropic now anthropic is
  • 00:02:37
    one of the leading air Labs that made
  • 00:02:40
    Claude 3 which is of course Claude Opus
  • 00:02:42
    which is one of the frontier models that
  • 00:02:44
    is performing very effectively now what
  • 00:02:47
    we can see here is something absolutely
  • 00:02:49
    incredible we can see them stating
  • 00:02:51
    clearly that if it does arrive okay you
  • 00:02:54
    know where whe we're standing at the
  • 00:02:55
    edge of this which seems likely that
  • 00:02:58
    it's going to end employment so so you
  • 00:03:00
    know how a lot of the time okay
  • 00:03:02
    individuals in certain communities they
  • 00:03:04
    may discuss labor and work as something
  • 00:03:07
    that of course is you know going to be
  • 00:03:09
    there for many individuals like you and
  • 00:03:11
    myself but the prevailing trend from
  • 00:03:13
    many of the industry leaders that I
  • 00:03:15
    continue to see is the fact that there
  • 00:03:18
    won't be any true work after a certain
  • 00:03:20
    period of time due to the fact that we
  • 00:03:22
    have a situation on our hands where the
  • 00:03:25
    technological developments that are
  • 00:03:27
    coming are most likely to end this
  • 00:03:29
    Paradigm hence the reason post AGI
  • 00:03:32
    preparedness so that you can navigate
  • 00:03:33
    this now basically she then States I
  • 00:03:36
    work at a frontier AI company with every
  • 00:03:38
    iteration of our model I am confronted
  • 00:03:41
    with something more capable and more
  • 00:03:43
    General than before that's just
  • 00:03:45
    absolutely crazy with every iteration of
  • 00:03:47
    our model I'm confronted with something
  • 00:03:50
    more capable and more General before at
  • 00:03:52
    this stage it can completely generate
  • 00:03:54
    content on a wide range of topics it can
  • 00:03:56
    summarize and analyze text possibly well
  • 00:03:59
    and as someone who once made money at
  • 00:04:02
    one point in time as a freelance writer
  • 00:04:04
    and prided myself on my ability to write
  • 00:04:06
    large amounts of content quickly a skill
  • 00:04:08
    which like cutting blocks of ice from a
  • 00:04:10
    frozen ponds is arguably obsolete I find
  • 00:04:14
    it hard to not notice these advances
  • 00:04:16
    okay remember that one I find it hard to
  • 00:04:18
    not notice these advances freelance
  • 00:04:21
    writing was always an oversubscribed
  • 00:04:23
    skill set and the introduction of
  • 00:04:25
    language models has further intensified
  • 00:04:27
    the competition now remember the whole
  • 00:04:29
    point of the these videos is to ensure
  • 00:04:31
    that you are paying attention because a
  • 00:04:33
    lot of people just say ah you know we'll
  • 00:04:35
    find new jobs we'll be fine y y y y and
  • 00:04:37
    I think that's very very ignorant
  • 00:04:39
    because it's quite hard to ignore the
  • 00:04:42
    kind of developments that are going and
  • 00:04:44
    eventually they will be you know
  • 00:04:46
    impacting nearly every industry on the
  • 00:04:48
    planet so it says the general re
  • 00:04:50
    reaction okay and this is where you know
  • 00:04:52
    this is exactly what I say the general
  • 00:04:54
    reaction to language models among
  • 00:04:55
    knowledge workers is one of denial okay
  • 00:04:58
    one of denal
  • 00:05:00
    okay and this is why I'm making this
  • 00:05:01
    video because I want you all to
  • 00:05:03
    understand that whilst yes in previous
  • 00:05:06
    technological revolutions like when we
  • 00:05:08
    had the industrial revolution of the
  • 00:05:10
    farming industry and many people were
  • 00:05:13
    thinking oh no all of these computers
  • 00:05:15
    are going to take our jobs and all of us
  • 00:05:17
    that work in the farm industry come the
  • 00:05:19
    problem is is that we're of course going
  • 00:05:21
    to be having a situation where no longer
  • 00:05:23
    are we going to be needed in the farming
  • 00:05:25
    industry so we might lose our place in
  • 00:05:28
    society but of course in that stage we
  • 00:05:30
    did have a lot more things to do but the
  • 00:05:32
    reason that this time is different okay
  • 00:05:35
    and you shouldn't be in denial okay
  • 00:05:37
    especially among knowledge workers is
  • 00:05:39
    that AI is the automation of automation
  • 00:05:42
    so it's a feedback loop because AI is
  • 00:05:44
    something that can automate itself which
  • 00:05:46
    is different than previous generations
  • 00:05:50
    remember that this time is different so
  • 00:05:52
    it says they grasp at the ever
  • 00:05:53
    diminishing number of places where such
  • 00:05:55
    models still struggle rather than
  • 00:05:57
    noticing the ever growing range of tasks
  • 00:06:00
    where they still have reached or pass
  • 00:06:02
    human level this is something that I
  • 00:06:04
    truly truly think people need to
  • 00:06:06
    understand it's about how you view the
  • 00:06:08
    AI problem okay many people literally
  • 00:06:11
    just focus on the fact that llms you
  • 00:06:13
    know hallucinate once or twice or in
  • 00:06:15
    generative AI images sometimes they make
  • 00:06:17
    mistakes but you kind of look at things
  • 00:06:19
    and you're like wait overall okay like
  • 00:06:21
    if we take the entire pie of AI into
  • 00:06:24
    account overall there's like a small
  • 00:06:26
    subsection that with every iteration is
  • 00:06:28
    growing and growing and growing and
  • 00:06:30
    growing whereas like most people are
  • 00:06:32
    like oh no it can't do this small bit oh
  • 00:06:33
    it can still not do this small bit oh it
  • 00:06:35
    can still not do this small bit and
  • 00:06:36
    eventually what's going to happen is
  • 00:06:38
    that it's all going to be able to be
  • 00:06:39
    done by AI which means that like if
  • 00:06:41
    you're at this stage right now where you
  • 00:06:43
    can see that okay AI is slowly starting
  • 00:06:46
    to surpass human cognitive capabilities
  • 00:06:48
    it's best at this point to be like okay
  • 00:06:51
    I'm going to you know pay attention here
  • 00:06:53
    and at least position myself rather than
  • 00:06:54
    being as she states in a place of denial
  • 00:06:58
    so you know she says many will point out
  • 00:07:00
    that AI systems are not yet writing
  • 00:07:02
    award-winning books let alone patenting
  • 00:07:05
    inventions but and this is the most
  • 00:07:07
    important thing most of us also don't do
  • 00:07:10
    these things okay and this is what I'm
  • 00:07:11
    stating that a lot of times people like
  • 00:07:13
    oh AI can't write you know an entire
  • 00:07:15
    novel from scratch and AI can't you know
  • 00:07:17
    paint this and it can't make this poster
  • 00:07:19
    you know uh coherently with the text in
  • 00:07:21
    5 seconds like I could but you couldn't
  • 00:07:23
    do that most people couldn't do that AI
  • 00:07:25
    is able to do a lot more than the
  • 00:07:27
    average person which is the point okay
  • 00:07:29
    most people don't do these things and
  • 00:07:31
    this is something that most people are
  • 00:07:33
    failing to acknowledge okay the
  • 00:07:36
    economically and politically relevant
  • 00:07:38
    comparison on most TOS is not whether
  • 00:07:40
    the language model is better than the
  • 00:07:42
    best human it's whether they are better
  • 00:07:44
    than the human that would otherwise do
  • 00:07:47
    the task and this is the most important
  • 00:07:49
    distinction I'm going to say it again
  • 00:07:51
    the economically and politically
  • 00:07:53
    relevant comparison on most tasks is not
  • 00:07:56
    whether the language model is better
  • 00:07:58
    than the best human it's whether they
  • 00:08:00
    are better than the human that would
  • 00:08:02
    otherwise do the tasks basically this
  • 00:08:05
    question is the best question okay
  • 00:08:07
    because it shows you at what point
  • 00:08:09
    things get automated and this is what
  • 00:08:11
    I've spoken about before imagine this
  • 00:08:13
    for example right you have someone who
  • 00:08:15
    works in a store okay let's say that
  • 00:08:17
    person previously they did you know
  • 00:08:19
    checkout at a grocery store okay right
  • 00:08:21
    now we have ai self checkouts or
  • 00:08:23
    whatever we've got all these kind of
  • 00:08:24
    crazy things going on of course the self
  • 00:08:26
    checkout is just a piece of technology
  • 00:08:28
    but the point is guys is that is it
  • 00:08:31
    sufficient to have an AI system be
  • 00:08:34
    better than the average person that
  • 00:08:36
    would do the task in any scenario where
  • 00:08:38
    that is true you are going to get
  • 00:08:40
    automation of that labor it doesn't need
  • 00:08:42
    to be better than the best person it
  • 00:08:45
    just needs to be better than the average
  • 00:08:46
    task that it would take and that is the
  • 00:08:48
    important distinction because a lot of
  • 00:08:50
    people think oh this thing can't create
  • 00:08:52
    Hollywood blockbuster movies it's not
  • 00:08:53
    going to you know affect the movie
  • 00:08:55
    industry but it will affect other
  • 00:08:57
    Industries like the film industry the
  • 00:08:59
    photography industry all of these other
  • 00:09:01
    ones especially when you know we look at
  • 00:09:03
    Future models how much smarter they
  • 00:09:05
    going to be just because they're not
  • 00:09:07
    going to be as smart as Einstein it
  • 00:09:09
    doesn't mean they're going to be smarter
  • 00:09:10
    not smarter than the average researcher
  • 00:09:13
    which is of course very fascinating and
  • 00:09:15
    then it says this makes the objection
  • 00:09:17
    that AI systems are not yet coding long
  • 00:09:19
    sequences are doing more than fairly
  • 00:09:21
    basic math on their own a more relevant
  • 00:09:23
    one but these systems will continue to
  • 00:09:26
    improve at all cognitive tasks okay and
  • 00:09:29
    that's an important distinction because
  • 00:09:31
    a lot of the cognitive labor you know
  • 00:09:33
    it's kind of going away from the trends
  • 00:09:35
    that we can see okay the shared goal of
  • 00:09:37
    the field of artificial intelligence is
  • 00:09:39
    to create a system that can do anything
  • 00:09:42
    and she says here that I expect us to to
  • 00:09:44
    soon reach it and if I'm right how
  • 00:09:47
    should we think about the coming
  • 00:09:48
    adolescence of work so now here's where
  • 00:09:51
    we talk about the future of society so
  • 00:09:52
    she says that it's not worth noting that
  • 00:09:54
    upfront that even today work is far from
  • 00:09:56
    the only way to participate in society
  • 00:09:59
    but nevertheless it has proven to be the
  • 00:10:01
    best way to transfer wealth and
  • 00:10:02
    resources it provides personal Goods
  • 00:10:04
    like social connection status and
  • 00:10:06
    meaning and of course it offers social
  • 00:10:08
    goods like political stability and
  • 00:10:10
    here's where we get into the crazy
  • 00:10:11
    things given this should we meet the
  • 00:10:13
    possibility of its loss with sadness
  • 00:10:15
    fear and Joy or hope the overall
  • 00:10:17
    economic effects of AGI are difficult to
  • 00:10:20
    forecast and here I will focus on the
  • 00:10:22
    question of how people will feel without
  • 00:10:25
    work whether they will or can be happy
  • 00:10:27
    and there are obviously other vital
  • 00:10:29
    questions like how will people be able
  • 00:10:32
    to meet their material needs many have
  • 00:10:34
    examined this question and this is the
  • 00:10:36
    important part here okay and this is why
  • 00:10:37
    I launched a community and why we're
  • 00:10:39
    working on all these things many have
  • 00:10:41
    examined this question okay with no
  • 00:10:44
    final answer yet as adopted by official
  • 00:10:46
    policy for this contingency by any
  • 00:10:49
    government so there is not a single
  • 00:10:50
    government that is currently looking at
  • 00:10:52
    this problem and thinking okay this is
  • 00:10:54
    going to be an issue in a few years how
  • 00:10:55
    are we going to tackle this and I think
  • 00:10:57
    that that is important because many
  • 00:10:59
    people think that okay the government is
  • 00:11:01
    going to be there to take care of me but
  • 00:11:03
    I would say that the government aren't
  • 00:11:05
    really babysitters they just kind of
  • 00:11:06
    look over you every now and again to see
  • 00:11:08
    if you're doing all right and if you're
  • 00:11:09
    not about to die the government doesn't
  • 00:11:11
    really care about you that much of
  • 00:11:13
    course depending on where you live this
  • 00:11:15
    is something that can be argued of
  • 00:11:17
    course but I do think that this is for
  • 00:11:19
    the majority of societies and the
  • 00:11:21
    majority of things it is very very true
  • 00:11:23
    and of course you can see I will go
  • 00:11:25
    ahead and assume that people can meet
  • 00:11:27
    their needs through Universal basic
  • 00:11:28
    income or other transfers and will
  • 00:11:30
    solely concentrate on the question of
  • 00:11:32
    whether people can and will be happy or
  • 00:11:34
    at least as happy as they are now
  • 00:11:35
    without work so here's where we talk
  • 00:11:37
    about the obsolescence of knowledge work
  • 00:11:40
    so you can see I expect AI to get much
  • 00:11:43
    better than it is today and research on
  • 00:11:44
    AI systems has shown that they
  • 00:11:46
    predictably improve given better
  • 00:11:48
    algorithms more and better quality data
  • 00:11:51
    and of course more computational power
  • 00:11:53
    labs are in the process of further
  • 00:11:55
    scaling up their clusters the groupings
  • 00:11:57
    of computers that the algorithms run on
  • 00:11:59
    and machine learning is a young field
  • 00:12:01
    with an enormous amount of lwh hanging
  • 00:12:03
    fuit in terms of discoveries I meant to
  • 00:12:05
    say fruit there um and this means that
  • 00:12:07
    you know researchers can continuously
  • 00:12:08
    find improvements on the algorithms of
  • 00:12:10
    these AI systems so the point here and I
  • 00:12:12
    think this is one that you know it kind
  • 00:12:14
    of goes back to what Leopold Ashen
  • 00:12:15
    brener said is that when we take a look
  • 00:12:18
    okay at the fact that there is a lot of
  • 00:12:19
    lwh hanging fruit this kind of shifts
  • 00:12:22
    our opinion it's not a field that is you
  • 00:12:24
    know mature to the point where you know
  • 00:12:26
    we are you know at the edge of
  • 00:12:28
    everything that we know or at least what
  • 00:12:29
    we think we know and it's very unlikely
  • 00:12:31
    we're going to get a breakthrough for
  • 00:12:32
    another 20 to 50 years like in some
  • 00:12:35
    Fields this is a field that you know
  • 00:12:37
    when we look at you know the fact that
  • 00:12:39
    if we know that we scale up another 10
  • 00:12:41
    times we're about to get a whole lot lot
  • 00:12:43
    more we know that if we improve the data
  • 00:12:46
    quality and the amount of data we're
  • 00:12:47
    about to get a whole lot more
  • 00:12:48
    improvements we also know that there's a
  • 00:12:50
    lot of inefficient algorithms that we do
  • 00:12:52
    use and we know that there are literally
  • 00:12:55
    a million different ways to improve
  • 00:12:57
    these models in terms of the algorithm
  • 00:12:59
    efficiencies in terms of how they
  • 00:13:00
    respond so the point here is that there
  • 00:13:03
    is a lot of low hanging fruit in this
  • 00:13:05
    industry and we're only at the frontier
  • 00:13:08
    of what these models are going to be
  • 00:13:09
    capable of since we haven't like
  • 00:13:11
    exhausted all of those things if we had
  • 00:13:13
    like exhausted the compute capabilities
  • 00:13:16
    uh all the algorithmic discoveries and
  • 00:13:18
    we were like at the wits end and these
  • 00:13:19
    are the kind of systems that we had then
  • 00:13:22
    maybe potentially it could be argued
  • 00:13:25
    that we were near the end in terms of
  • 00:13:26
    the growth especially in terms of the
  • 00:13:28
    Curve maybe the growth would you know
  • 00:13:30
    start to slow off like that so that is
  • 00:13:32
    why I think this is really important
  • 00:13:34
    because there is a lot of lwh hanging
  • 00:13:36
    through that could truly give us a lot
  • 00:13:39
    more exponential gains and you can see
  • 00:13:41
    while there is an enormous amount of
  • 00:13:43
    data that has already been fed through
  • 00:13:45
    them there is still more to be found and
  • 00:13:47
    it can also be generated by the systems
  • 00:13:49
    themselves so given the scaling laws we
  • 00:13:52
    can reasonably foresee that these
  • 00:13:54
    systems will keep getting better at
  • 00:13:56
    least until these inputs run out so what
  • 00:13:59
    rate will they get better language
  • 00:14:01
    models are not for the most part
  • 00:14:02
    continuously improving they get better
  • 00:14:05
    in discontinuous jumps a rough analogy
  • 00:14:08
    to the current llm process is that
  • 00:14:10
    making a new model is like baking a cake
  • 00:14:12
    you figure out your data and algorithms
  • 00:14:14
    like mixing the batter then you
  • 00:14:16
    pre-train the model that is to run it on
  • 00:14:18
    a large number of computers for several
  • 00:14:20
    months like put it in the oven then you
  • 00:14:22
    do some posttraining like frosting and
  • 00:14:24
    decorating the cake and of course this
  • 00:14:25
    can adjust the model in certain
  • 00:14:27
    different ways to make it more hard less
  • 00:14:29
    honest or to make it good at certain
  • 00:14:31
    specific skills or use cases but what
  • 00:14:34
    matters to most of us for the model's
  • 00:14:36
    capabilities at least right now of
  • 00:14:38
    course is the underlying cake and this
  • 00:14:40
    can't be easily adjusted without
  • 00:14:41
    starting over and baking something
  • 00:14:43
    entirely new so when it comes to the
  • 00:14:45
    rate of progress when these models seem
  • 00:14:47
    to Plateau you should actually assume
  • 00:14:49
    that that just just means that the next
  • 00:14:51
    model is in the oven but just hasn't
  • 00:14:53
    come out yet and basically what they're
  • 00:14:55
    stating is that whil yes you know some
  • 00:14:57
    people do talk about how their
  • 00:14:59
    is this iterative deployment at open aai
  • 00:15:02
    from what we can see growth in llms is
  • 00:15:04
    kind of like this we hit a staircase we
  • 00:15:06
    hit a staircase and we hit a staircase
  • 00:15:08
    because essentially what you have is you
  • 00:15:09
    have let's say for example you have gbt
  • 00:15:11
    5 which brings us to this level then we
  • 00:15:12
    got gbt 4 then we get gbt 5 okay and the
  • 00:15:15
    reason it's kind of like that is because
  • 00:15:17
    like they said you have this middle bit
  • 00:15:19
    here where the model is being you know
  • 00:15:21
    trained whatever or you know mixed or
  • 00:15:23
    whatever you call it whatever and then
  • 00:15:24
    of course at the end you've got the
  • 00:15:25
    posttraining and then of course here
  • 00:15:27
    you've got the pre-training so this this
  • 00:15:29
    is essentially where you know you're
  • 00:15:30
    training the model for this entire
  • 00:15:32
    period of time so what's interesting is
  • 00:15:33
    that this period of time where you train
  • 00:15:35
    the model this entire period of time do
  • 00:15:37
    apologize for the colors there but
  • 00:15:38
    training the model and then of course
  • 00:15:40
    the model gets released after the
  • 00:15:41
    posttraining and then that's when we get
  • 00:15:43
    those new jumps which is why it's very
  • 00:15:45
    hard to say that right now you know
  • 00:15:47
    things are plateauing because these
  • 00:15:48
    models do take several months in most
  • 00:15:51
    cases to train especially because the
  • 00:15:53
    Clusters can't support that much uh you
  • 00:15:56
    know work going on at the moment so here
  • 00:15:58
    we can see many expect AI to eventually
  • 00:16:00
    be able to do every economically useful
  • 00:16:03
    task which is a truly insane statement
  • 00:16:05
    so many expect AI to do every
  • 00:16:07
    economically useful task which is
  • 00:16:09
    absolutely crazy and remember she agrees
  • 00:16:11
    now this is anthropics Chief of Staff
  • 00:16:13
    here and it says given the current
  • 00:16:16
    trajectory of technology I expect AI to
  • 00:16:18
    First excel at any kind of online work
  • 00:16:21
    essentially anything that a remote
  • 00:16:22
    worker can do AI will do better
  • 00:16:25
    copywriting tax preparation customer
  • 00:16:27
    services and many other tasks are or
  • 00:16:31
    will soon be heavily automated I can see
  • 00:16:33
    the beginnings in areas like software
  • 00:16:36
    development and contract law generally
  • 00:16:39
    tasks that involved reading analyzing
  • 00:16:41
    and synthesizing information and then
  • 00:16:43
    generating content based on it it seems
  • 00:16:45
    ripe for replacement by language models
  • 00:16:48
    so basically right here this gives you a
  • 00:16:50
    first insight into some of the careers
  • 00:16:52
    that are under not scrutiny but under
  • 00:16:54
    the microscope in terms of where things
  • 00:16:57
    are going to be truly automated you
  • 00:16:59
    might want to note this down I will have
  • 00:17:01
    of course all the notes on in my school
  • 00:17:03
    community so that you guys can easily
  • 00:17:04
    read this and digest the information and
  • 00:17:06
    an easy to use mattera but guys this is
  • 00:17:10
    some key key statements that people are
  • 00:17:12
    not paying attention to because the main
  • 00:17:14
    thing here is that anything on a
  • 00:17:15
    computer anything remote anything online
  • 00:17:18
    those things you have to think now about
  • 00:17:20
    okay if I'm a remote worker if I'm
  • 00:17:22
    someone that's enjoying my life
  • 00:17:23
    traveling around the world or that's
  • 00:17:24
    what I want to do I need to think about
  • 00:17:26
    these industries here and how I can
  • 00:17:29
    position myself okay to not be automated
  • 00:17:31
    away or to not at least be less
  • 00:17:34
    economically valuable than an AI system
  • 00:17:37
    sure you might be 10% better than an AI
  • 00:17:39
    system but you have to remember that
  • 00:17:41
    it's much easier for a company to
  • 00:17:43
    replace your high salary with an AI
  • 00:17:45
    system that costs much less and I do
  • 00:17:48
    think in the future what we will see is
  • 00:17:51
    AI systems that are truly truly
  • 00:17:53
    effective and of course that can run for
  • 00:17:55
    24 hours remember you're just a human
  • 00:17:58
    you can't run for 24 hours like these AI
  • 00:18:00
    systems can and with all the AI agents
  • 00:18:02
    being built on the back end trust me
  • 00:18:04
    guys things are truly right for
  • 00:18:06
    disruption so you need to think okay how
  • 00:18:08
    can I do this okay and how can I manage
  • 00:18:11
    myself better in order to at least not
  • 00:18:13
    be in that place where I'm less
  • 00:18:15
    economically valuable than this thing
  • 00:18:17
    and here's where we have some more stuff
  • 00:18:19
    so here's where we get to the
  • 00:18:20
    obsolescence part and this is where we
  • 00:18:22
    actually start to look at certain
  • 00:18:23
    industries and how things are going to
  • 00:18:26
    be changing so essentially what she told
  • 00:18:28
    about here is that you know this is not
  • 00:18:30
    going to come for every industry at the
  • 00:18:32
    same Pace it's not like one day
  • 00:18:34
    everyone's working and the next day
  • 00:18:36
    everyone's not we're going to have a
  • 00:18:37
    situation on our hands where this area
  • 00:18:39
    is now affected this area is now
  • 00:18:41
    affected this area is now affected and
  • 00:18:43
    it's going to definitely be proportional
  • 00:18:45
    to AI system releases for example when
  • 00:18:47
    GPT 5 does release I do expect a wider
  • 00:18:50
    range of jobs to be not completely
  • 00:18:52
    automated but very nearly on that
  • 00:18:55
    Chopping Block Level to where you know
  • 00:18:57
    there's going to be another wave of
  • 00:18:58
    potentially layoffs or potentially you
  • 00:19:00
    know companies that used to hire people
  • 00:19:02
    not hiring people and the problem is is
  • 00:19:04
    that these effects are Downstream
  • 00:19:06
    meaning that if someone was going to
  • 00:19:08
    create a company in the future and they
  • 00:19:10
    choose not to create a company you don't
  • 00:19:13
    experience that level until like maybe
  • 00:19:15
    12 to 48 months after because the
  • 00:19:17
    companies that would have replaced the
  • 00:19:19
    old ones that wouldn't hire you those
  • 00:19:21
    ones no longer exist so overall that
  • 00:19:23
    entire market share has died down so
  • 00:19:25
    essentially um the pace of improvement
  • 00:19:28
    in robotics lag significantly behind
  • 00:19:30
    cognitive automation it's improving as
  • 00:19:32
    well but more slowly so this is
  • 00:19:34
    basically what they're saying is that if
  • 00:19:35
    you do anything with your hands that is
  • 00:19:37
    pretty intricate um in a guided specific
  • 00:19:40
    situation for example you know surgeons
  • 00:19:43
    gardeners plumbers jewelry makers hair
  • 00:19:46
    stylists as well as those who repair
  • 00:19:48
    iron work or who make stained glass
  • 00:19:50
    might find their handiwork contributing
  • 00:19:52
    to our society for many more years to
  • 00:19:54
    come and this is of course uh you know
  • 00:19:57
    very very true I do think that you know
  • 00:19:59
    people in these industries they have a
  • 00:20:01
    unique set of skills that you know for a
  • 00:20:03
    robot to do as well as a plumber it's
  • 00:20:05
    very very hard considering you know the
  • 00:20:07
    fact that it needs to navigate its way
  • 00:20:09
    into a house deal with the customer be
  • 00:20:11
    able to identify what's going wrong stop
  • 00:20:13
    the water flowing uh whatever issue it
  • 00:20:15
    may be then coordinate with all of these
  • 00:20:17
    kind of things like if you try to get a
  • 00:20:20
    team of you know Engineers to to get a
  • 00:20:22
    robot to do that that would cost a lot
  • 00:20:24
    and it would be so expensive to do that
  • 00:20:26
    but you know an AI system that's on a
  • 00:20:28
    computer running that can take control
  • 00:20:30
    of a computer that is something that is
  • 00:20:32
    vastly easier which is why a lot of the
  • 00:20:34
    people who work at desks are more at
  • 00:20:36
    risk than someone who does a manual
  • 00:20:39
    labor job and this is something that I
  • 00:20:41
    think this trend is important to pay
  • 00:20:43
    attention to so of course regulated
  • 00:20:45
    Industries like medicine or the Civil
  • 00:20:47
    Service will have human involvement per
  • 00:20:48
    longer but even there I expecting
  • 00:20:50
    increasingly number of human workers who
  • 00:20:53
    are you know supplemented with AI
  • 00:20:55
    systems working alongside them so
  • 00:20:57
    basically with this one is that if you
  • 00:20:58
    work in a regulated industry or you're
  • 00:21:00
    thinking about getting into one I think
  • 00:21:02
    those ones are still pretty good for the
  • 00:21:03
    future because regulatory boards and
  • 00:21:06
    stuff like that they do take a lot of
  • 00:21:07
    time to allow people to get into their
  • 00:21:10
    Industries you know for example like to
  • 00:21:11
    become a doctor there's all these tests
  • 00:21:13
    you have to take to become a lawyer you
  • 00:21:15
    got to pass the bar you got to do this
  • 00:21:17
    it's this whole kind of thing whether
  • 00:21:19
    you want to call it status even if the
  • 00:21:21
    even if the AI system is better there's
  • 00:21:23
    just this human kind of aspect where
  • 00:21:26
    even if AI systems are better because of
  • 00:21:28
    the regulatory bodies and how AI might
  • 00:21:30
    be viewed at that time AI is probably
  • 00:21:32
    not going to be penetrating those
  • 00:21:34
    Industries very very soon like it's not
  • 00:21:36
    going to be okay AI here boom let's use
  • 00:21:38
    it there's still regulatory bodies that
  • 00:21:40
    people you know follow and it's going to
  • 00:21:42
    be really hard to change those because
  • 00:21:44
    small changes and small issues with AI
  • 00:21:46
    systems unless they're like 100% um and
  • 00:21:49
    unless they have no bias no this no that
  • 00:21:51
    no that um it's going to be really hard
  • 00:21:53
    to change those Legacy Industries
  • 00:21:55
    because they are very very resistant to
  • 00:21:58
    change and they were built upon those
  • 00:22:00
    you know strict foundations so you know
  • 00:22:03
    careers that have like you know all
  • 00:22:04
    those regulations around them I think
  • 00:22:05
    those are going to be secure for a very
  • 00:22:07
    very longer time now of course we talk
  • 00:22:09
    about industries that are going to be
  • 00:22:10
    preferred for humans so for example you
  • 00:22:13
    know the those jobs that you know where
  • 00:22:15
    you want a human to do it even if an AI
  • 00:22:18
    system might be better so for example
  • 00:22:20
    jobs that might fall into this category
  • 00:22:22
    include counselors duelers caretakers
  • 00:22:24
    for the elderly babysitters Preschool
  • 00:22:27
    teachers priests and religious leaders
  • 00:22:30
    even sex workers much has been made of
  • 00:22:32
    AI girlfriends but I still expect that a
  • 00:22:34
    large percentage of buyers of impers and
  • 00:22:36
    sexual services will have a strong
  • 00:22:38
    preference for humans and I think this
  • 00:22:40
    is an interesting term here nostalgic
  • 00:22:42
    jobs and I think that term actually does
  • 00:22:44
    make sense so you can see that these
  • 00:22:46
    jobs right here even if you have like an
  • 00:22:48
    AI system that is you know just amazing
  • 00:22:51
    you know sitting a baby like let's say
  • 00:22:53
    it's great as a babysitter I would not
  • 00:22:55
    want an AI system babysitting my child I
  • 00:22:57
    would want it to have the human- to
  • 00:22:59
    human connection I would want it to
  • 00:23:01
    understand what other humans want this
  • 00:23:02
    is just going to be something that maybe
  • 00:23:04
    as I grow older and as I you know get
  • 00:23:06
    older into my older years I'm just like
  • 00:23:08
    that old person who's who's scared of
  • 00:23:10
    robotic technology and I'm like no I
  • 00:23:12
    want a human looking after my kid or
  • 00:23:14
    whatever or maybe you know even people
  • 00:23:15
    growing up now they still find it weird
  • 00:23:17
    but over time those values can shift as
  • 00:23:21
    robots become more and more useful and
  • 00:23:23
    as they become more and more humanlike
  • 00:23:25
    so it's going to be interesting to see
  • 00:23:27
    how things are going to be you know done
  • 00:23:29
    in the aspect but these jobs right here
  • 00:23:31
    they're essentially valued because there
  • 00:23:33
    is a human right there so if I was going
  • 00:23:34
    through a problem I wouldn't really want
  • 00:23:36
    to talk to an AI system because the
  • 00:23:38
    whole thing about like counseling and
  • 00:23:40
    stuff like that and being you know
  • 00:23:41
    talking to a therapist is that there's a
  • 00:23:43
    human who actually empathizes with you
  • 00:23:45
    and no matter how smart an AI system
  • 00:23:47
    might be it hasn't had its own you know
  • 00:23:50
    subjective or objective whatever you
  • 00:23:52
    want to say experience of the real world
  • 00:23:54
    so it's not going to be able to
  • 00:23:55
    empathize with you on that way that an
  • 00:23:57
    actual person that can be like oh you
  • 00:23:58
    know I I understand that I went through
  • 00:24:00
    that you know I've had this experience I
  • 00:24:02
    had that happen to me when I was 21 um
  • 00:24:03
    and that like things like that are just
  • 00:24:05
    completely Priceless so those things
  • 00:24:07
    there like those areas and categories
  • 00:24:09
    are going to really are going to really
  • 00:24:11
    do well which is why it's important to
  • 00:24:13
    like kind of look at this because you
  • 00:24:14
    know a lot of people don't understand
  • 00:24:16
    truly the dynamic on how things are
  • 00:24:18
    going to change given the nature of AI
  • 00:24:21
    going now for the rest of this article
  • 00:24:23
    there are some you know interesting
  • 00:24:25
    things there is the psychology of
  • 00:24:27
    employment which is you know as
  • 00:24:28
    automation rolls out across these
  • 00:24:30
    industries how are people going to feel
  • 00:24:32
    and basically what they're stating here
  • 00:24:34
    is that you know evidence shows
  • 00:24:36
    unsurprisingly okay in fact no this is
  • 00:24:38
    actually quite surprising is that you
  • 00:24:40
    know basically they're trying to look at
  • 00:24:41
    how unemployment actually affects people
  • 00:24:44
    okay and it says that one study that
  • 00:24:45
    tried to tackle this looked at the
  • 00:24:47
    effects of unemployment caused by the
  • 00:24:48
    collapse of the Spanish construction
  • 00:24:50
    industry on mental and physical health
  • 00:24:52
    and this particularly study was
  • 00:24:54
    attempting to disentangle the causality
  • 00:24:56
    because people who lose their job during
  • 00:24:58
    a nationwide collapse of an industry
  • 00:25:00
    will avoid this election effect these
  • 00:25:02
    individuals are no more likely to have
  • 00:25:04
    mental mental or physical issues than
  • 00:25:06
    other members of the population and it
  • 00:25:08
    says by looking at Large Scale survey
  • 00:25:10
    responses before and after the crisis
  • 00:25:12
    they found that unemployment did appear
  • 00:25:14
    to increase the likelihood of reporting
  • 00:25:16
    poorer health and it says here it does
  • 00:25:18
    seem that overall unemployment makes
  • 00:25:21
    people sadder sicker and more anxious
  • 00:25:23
    but it isn't clear if this is an
  • 00:25:25
    inherent fact of unemployment or a
  • 00:25:27
    contingent want okay because basically
  • 00:25:29
    the problem is this right if you right
  • 00:25:31
    now you're unemployed okay why are you s
  • 00:25:34
    think about that for a second okay why
  • 00:25:35
    are you s you're s because number one
  • 00:25:37
    you might have less status because you
  • 00:25:39
    don't have a job and number two you know
  • 00:25:40
    you don't have any money okay you don't
  • 00:25:42
    have any money coming in so you might
  • 00:25:43
    think okay I'm not bringing any value
  • 00:25:44
    into society and I'm not making a living
  • 00:25:46
    for myself and of course I might be
  • 00:25:48
    homeless and yada yada yada and you can
  • 00:25:50
    see right here you've got all these
  • 00:25:52
    things that they talk about okay you
  • 00:25:53
    know the financial effects are probably
  • 00:25:55
    the main one like if I gave you right
  • 00:25:57
    now $10 million and I said you can never
  • 00:25:59
    work a day in your life you know you're
  • 00:26:00
    never allowed to have a job even if you
  • 00:26:02
    wanted one you just are not allowed to
  • 00:26:03
    work most people would laugh run off
  • 00:26:05
    with a 10 million and be like this guy
  • 00:26:07
    doesn't know what he's talking about and
  • 00:26:08
    that's the main point here is that it's
  • 00:26:11
    hard to understand whether or not humans
  • 00:26:13
    derive meaning from employment or it's
  • 00:26:16
    just the contingent effects okay and you
  • 00:26:18
    can see right here is that of course
  • 00:26:20
    this might not occur in the context of
  • 00:26:22
    universal basic income and of course
  • 00:26:24
    it's compounded with the shame aspect of
  • 00:26:26
    being fired or laid off when you know
  • 00:26:28
    you really feel like you should be
  • 00:26:29
    working as opposed to the context where
  • 00:26:31
    essentially all workers have been
  • 00:26:32
    displaced intuitively it seems that
  • 00:26:35
    there should be more negative
  • 00:26:37
    psychological effects from losing a job
  • 00:26:39
    in a way that feels like a personal
  • 00:26:41
    failing or that sets one apart from
  • 00:26:43
    one's peers versus losing a job in a
  • 00:26:45
    blameless way or at the same time and
  • 00:26:47
    the same manner as one's peers basically
  • 00:26:50
    what they're stating here is as well is
  • 00:26:51
    that whilst you might think that a lot
  • 00:26:53
    of people who lose their jobs during
  • 00:26:54
    this revolution might be sad if everyone
  • 00:26:57
    loses it at the at the same time like
  • 00:26:59
    people did in the pandemic people
  • 00:27:01
    actually don't increase their
  • 00:27:02
    psychological distress because
  • 00:27:03
    everyone's in the same boat you can see
  • 00:27:05
    here they found that individuals who
  • 00:27:07
    were temporary laid off in April of 2020
  • 00:27:09
    reported lower levels of distress
  • 00:27:11
    compared to their peers who remained
  • 00:27:13
    employed and you can see here the
  • 00:27:14
    widespread nature of layoff normalized
  • 00:27:16
    The Experience reducing the personal
  • 00:27:18
    blame and fostering a sense of shared
  • 00:27:20
    experience and of course Financial
  • 00:27:21
    strain was mitigated by government
  • 00:27:23
    support personal savings and reduced
  • 00:27:25
    spendings which buffed against potential
  • 00:27:27
    distress so basically the stating that
  • 00:27:28
    there might not be as much angst and
  • 00:27:31
    anxiety in the future if everyone is in
  • 00:27:33
    the same boat but I do think that this
  • 00:27:35
    is going to be Nuance because there are
  • 00:27:36
    going to be a lot of industries that are
  • 00:27:38
    affected before other ones as we
  • 00:27:40
    previously discussed knowledge work
  • 00:27:42
    cognitive labor jobs jobs on on our
  • 00:27:44
    computer those ones are going to be
  • 00:27:45
    automated heavily away first and it's
  • 00:27:47
    not going to be all at once some
  • 00:27:49
    companies are going to choose to
  • 00:27:50
    implement them some companies are going
  • 00:27:51
    to say nope we're 100% human run we're
  • 00:27:53
    never going to use AI that's going to be
  • 00:27:55
    their marketing gimmick those are the
  • 00:27:56
    companies that you kind of want to you
  • 00:27:58
    know work for and be you know you know
  • 00:27:59
    aligning your options with but it's
  • 00:28:01
    going to be kind of interesting as well
  • 00:28:03
    like you know if you're looking to work
  • 00:28:04
    for a company you know try and see what
  • 00:28:05
    their CEO's view are on AI of course
  • 00:28:07
    every CEO's incentive is to make more
  • 00:28:09
    money so they're probably going to do
  • 00:28:11
    that but you'd be surprised at how
  • 00:28:12
    things work in the future and this is
  • 00:28:14
    where we get into two of the most
  • 00:28:15
    interesting Concepts here okay um and
  • 00:28:17
    this is where she talks about inbank the
  • 00:28:19
    culture books and this is where you know
  • 00:28:21
    they are completely post scarcity
  • 00:28:23
    Society money is viewed as crude and
  • 00:28:26
    Irrelevant for allocating resources
  • 00:28:28
    resources living space raw materials and
  • 00:28:30
    energy are produced in abundance for its
  • 00:28:32
    citizens and the capacity of its means
  • 00:28:34
    of production are ubiquitously and
  • 00:28:36
    comprehensively exceeded every
  • 00:28:38
    reasonable demands it's not
  • 00:28:40
    unimaginative citizens could make yet
  • 00:28:42
    culture at least has one need that this
  • 00:28:45
    abundance cannot satisfy that feeling
  • 00:28:47
    was the urge to not feel useless
  • 00:28:49
    basically to cut the nonsense this
  • 00:28:50
    passage highlights the fundamental and
  • 00:28:52
    AI need to feel like they are
  • 00:28:54
    contributing to something larger than
  • 00:28:56
    themselves even in a paradise where all
  • 00:28:59
    material needs are met the psychological
  • 00:29:01
    need still persists and she states here
  • 00:29:05
    that you know you can think about it
  • 00:29:06
    right now do you do anything that you
  • 00:29:08
    are notably worse at than other people
  • 00:29:10
    just for the sheer value of doing it she
  • 00:29:12
    talks about how you know being a
  • 00:29:13
    ballerina even though she's in her
  • 00:29:15
    mid-20s and you know being a ballerina
  • 00:29:17
    is long behind her but moving her body
  • 00:29:19
    like that still brings her joy and this
  • 00:29:21
    is where she talks about post AGI so she
  • 00:29:23
    says a renowned AI researcher once told
  • 00:29:26
    me that he is practicing for post AGI by
  • 00:29:28
    taking up activities that he's not
  • 00:29:30
    particularly good at Jiu-Jitsu surfing
  • 00:29:32
    and so on and savoring the doing even
  • 00:29:35
    without Excellence this is how we can
  • 00:29:37
    prepare for a future where we will have
  • 00:29:38
    to do things from Joy rather than need
  • 00:29:41
    where we will no longer be the best at
  • 00:29:43
    them but we will still have to choose
  • 00:29:44
    how we fill our days we will also not
  • 00:29:47
    need to choose how to fill our time
  • 00:29:48
    alone in the context where we are all
  • 00:29:50
    out of work and where this is one of our
  • 00:29:52
    main worries it means we built
  • 00:29:54
    relatively aligned artificial general
  • 00:29:57
    intelligence for the the same reasons I
  • 00:29:59
    expect us to reach AGI I expect it to
  • 00:30:01
    progress Beyond this point to where we
  • 00:30:03
    have superhuman systems for the same
  • 00:30:06
    reason these systems will be helpful of
  • 00:30:07
    anything we should expect that these
  • 00:30:09
    systems will be able to help with the
  • 00:30:11
    problems that they create and basically
  • 00:30:12
    what they're stating here is that if we
  • 00:30:14
    get superhuman systems that replace us
  • 00:30:16
    there's no reason to think that they
  • 00:30:18
    cannot help us if we don't have meaning
  • 00:30:20
    in this future world and I think this
  • 00:30:22
    article is very important like I said
  • 00:30:24
    I'm going to have like a you know a
  • 00:30:25
    short private blog where I summarize

    everything into a nice on my school and
  • 00:30:29
    this video you know is likely going to
  • 00:30:30
    be released on the school Community
  • 00:30:32
    going to be released on the school
  • 00:30:33
    Community a few days earlier because
  • 00:30:35
    this is the community where we discuss
  • 00:30:37
    how we can actually navigate this stuff
  • 00:30:39
    and I don't want you guys to feel like
  • 00:30:40
    look there's nothing I can do there is
  • 00:30:42
    so much that you can do in order to be
  • 00:30:43
    proactive especially in the last few
  • 00:30:45
    years of work there are investments that
  • 00:30:47
    you can make there are ways that you can
  • 00:30:49
    transition your career from one area to
  • 00:30:51
    another there are mindsets that you can
  • 00:30:53
    use there are Frameworks that you can
  • 00:30:54
    apply to your life to ensure you're not
  • 00:30:56
    one of the people that get first
  • 00:30:58
    automated because whilst automation is
  • 00:31:00
    something that is coming it might not
  • 00:31:02
    get you first if you're able to move out
  • 00:31:04
    of the way and you're still able to be
  • 00:31:06
    relatively valuable in the economy
  • 00:31:08
    that's what the entire thing is about so
  • 00:31:10
    let me know what you think about this
  • 00:31:11
    entire document it is definitely a long
  • 00:31:13
    one maybe I did go over my time limit
  • 00:31:15
    here but I think this is probably one of
  • 00:31:16
    the most important articles because I
  • 00:31:18
    think by at least 2027 we're truly going
  • 00:31:21
    to see the trajectory of where things
  • 00:31:22
    are going because at that stage we will
  • 00:31:25
    likely have had at least four to 5 years
  • 00:31:27
    by 2030 of AI development we will likely
  • 00:31:30
    have the biggest clusters being built
  • 00:31:32
    you will likely have maxed out the you
  • 00:31:33
    know physical Hardware so we're likely
  • 00:31:36
    going to see where those developments
  • 00:31:38
    are going to be in the sense that any
  • 00:31:40
    more improvements are going to be hard
  • 00:31:41
    to come by and therefore we know that
  • 00:31:43
    the jobs that currently exist for humans
  • 00:31:45
    are probably going to be there for quite
  • 00:31:47
    some time so this was something that
  • 00:31:48
    most people just did Miss but I'm pretty
  • 00:31:50
    sure that this article was something
  • 00:31:52
    that I think is definitely valuable to
  • 00:31:53
    those of you who are concerned about the
  • 00:31:55
    future of post AI economics let me know
  • 00:31:57
    some of your thoughts on how all of this
  • 00:31:59
    is going to go down and what your plans
  • 00:32:01
    are and if you enjoy this video I'll see
  • 00:32:03
    you in the next
