Comedy. And spreading love.

AI and automation can’t provide those things. If AI and automation create exponential leverage, and more and more needs and mundane takes are taken care of, then the market (public desire) for things like love and laughter become more sought after and more valuable.

Basically anything you can do that is inherently rewarding, whether profit is there or not, will become more of a focus of people’s lives. Even if you don’t get money from it, it won’t ever be wasted time that you uplifted friends, family, or strangers or if you made them laugh.

But also we’ll be so connected, and have so much free time, that it would make financial sense as well to provide those things to a market that would value it, that can’t get it from AI and automation.

This is awesome. Thanks Adrian!

Obviously that’s about as optimistic a take on how those 10 years of growth goes for automation and AI and that’s it ends up being used to free us as opposed to control us.

But I think that’s the upside of what’s actually at stake with all of this.
