Meet every factory worker's new replacement

0:00We're going to take a look at what's going to most likely replace every factory worker in the world. And they're not going to just stop at replacing factory workers. And the idea of being replaced is already, understandably, getting a lot of people upset. It's getting a lot of people angry and nervous about this future that we can't predict. You already have people attacking autonomous cars that are driving in their city. But whether we're ready or not, the future is here. And without further ado, I'd like to introduce to you the Atlas robot by Boston Dynamics.

0:34As children, we imagined the promise of tomorrow, a future where science fiction would become reality. That's where our journey began. Our goal was simple, to find out what was possible. Animals and humans move so easily through the world. Our obsession was with how. So we gave them legs, arms, hands. You watched our robots do the impossible. Jump, run, climb, and flip. Then we asked, what if we could automate the hard work? Make things safer, easier, make our lives better. And

1:25We still haven't seen the Atlas robot. We still haven't seen the replacement for the average factory worker that's to come. But I wanted to stop it there. What if we could automate all the hard work? What if we could make things easier and better? And I know that the initial emotion that a lot of people are going to feel is anger or fear. And most of the time, anger really is fear. And it's just your way of coping with the fact that you're scared. I know a lot of people will be feeling a ton of different emotions as these changes happen. But that question, what if we could automate all the hard work? What kind of future would that be for us? Is that future really so bad? Is it something that we should be upset about? Is it something that we should be attacking autonomous cars about? Maybe this future isn't that bad. And I know a lot of people push back and they say, "Well, without our jobs, without all the hard work, where are we going to get purpose?

2:25Where are we going to get meaning?" This is this is how we have gotten our purpose and meaning and derived all of what we call life from for how long? How long have we just looked at as our job as who we are? One of the first things that you ask somebody is, "Hey, what do you do?" Not like what your passion is, not who you are, maybe your your name, but the first thing that somebody really asks is how do you make money? What is your job? What is your 9 to5? Without that, who are we? And I don't think it's that bad of a a question to propose. I don't think it's that far off to be wanting to answer that with a real solution. What if we could automate all of our hard work? It's one of those things that I could see a lazy person saying, "Yeah, just just do everything for me."

3:29That's what's wrong. What is going to happen to humanity if everything is done for them? Have you seen that? that Wall-E movie where everybody is just floating around and they're all fat and everything is done for them, right? Their quality of life should be better, right? But without without jobs, without purpose, they they find no meaning. They just constantly push that dopamine button over and over and over again. Can't you see that this is just the beginning? I could see both sides. I could see how this could play out, very bad or very good. And it's more than likely going to land somewhere in the middle. There's going to be a whole bunch of good with some bad sprinkled in that is ine inevitably going to happen. I mean, it already does happen, right? We already have bad, right? It's all about trade-offs.

4:29But again, like I said, we still haven't met the Atlas robot. We still haven't met the average factory worker's replacement. This is just the beginning as far as what they're considering. This was just, as they said, they looked at the way that humans and animals move and that's what sparked their curiosity. I mean, we've been fantasizing about having robots for how long? I mean, this is what we've been wanting, right? I guess a part of us deep down, we might not have thought that it could actually come true. Flying cars and robots and artificial super intelligence. Maybe maybe science fiction was just science after all. But let's see.

5:12For 5 years, we've been taking robots out of the lab and into the world. Now begins the next chapter. A superhuman robot built to perform, built to work. Atlas is the realization of three decades pushing and breaking boundaries. The best we've ever built. When the bridge between human ingenuity and what comes next, innovation is our lever. Your imagination is our inspiration. A world where physical automation expands our horizons. A world where robots walk with us as helpers and companions to make life easier, safer, and more fulfilling. Atlas is not the end of our journey. But the beginning of your tomorrow,

6:11Bro. See, a part of me, I'm not going to lie. I'm not going to lie, I I see it. I I feel it. I feel it how it's kind of like there's a creepiness to it. I get it. I'm not immune to it. I'm not. I see that It is kind of creepy. It's kind of friendly at the same time. Like it looks like it would help you. I uh I couldn't help but notice that in this future that they were imagining, you see different robots of different colors doing different tasks. That's coming. We haven't even been talking about the uh the Optimus robots that Elon Musk is creating. He's already like looking at a billion robots to come. like this is this is coming whether we're ready or not. And starting with factory workers, I mean, think about how many things that we require factory workers for, how many different industries, how many things that actually require things to be assembled.

7:19And I I remember actually one time for like just a couple months I ended up I ended up quitting that But I did work at some sort of factory. It was for like golf carts or some This was a while ago. But there were already robots then. Like we we did but we kind of were like helping the the arms. And I don't know the the technicalities about all of this Like I said, I quit that job after a few months, but we were already guiding machines, guiding some sort of robot. And when whenever something would happen as far as like something with the code or some they would have to call in some guy to just come, I don't know, beep boop boop with the side panel and try to fix that And then we would go back. We were stuck. When the robot stopped, we stopped. We didn't know like what are we going to do? No.

8:17This Atlas robot right here, it doesn't it doesn't stop. It has a 4 hour battery life that it can change out itself. It replaces its own battery. It literally works 24/7. It doesn't it doesn't need health insurance. It doesn't doesn't take sick days. It doesn't come in hung over. It doesn't have an attitude. It doesn't worry about overtime. and doesn't worry about pay at all. And again, it's really it's really easy to look at the bad side of this because that is a lot of jobs. That is a lot of families without an income that they've been relying on for, you know, basically since we've had factories. So, when you take the job of an average factory worker, then what? Then what?

9:14And looking at every other industry that one of these can affect. One of the things that that people say is, you know, to survive what's to come, you're going to have to maybe become an electrician, a plumber, somebody that is actually using their hands to fix things, to do things, something that can't be taken over by artificial intelligence, which is crazy because when the computer age came, well, it was the exact opposite advice. go learn to code, learn something with computers, and that's where all the money is. Now, you can you can use a whole bunch of different AI applications to code apps and websites, and you don't need any of the knowledge that people spent years acrewing.

10:09They got replaced what feels like instantly. So, people said, "Okay, it's all right. We know how to adapt. We know how to change with our environment. All you have to do is go figure out how to how to fix a sink, how to fix some electrical issue, something like that. Something where you can't get replaced. Well, I'm sorry to tell you, but your job is up for grabs, too. And if a factory worker's job is up for grabs, then that's that's only the beginning. I can't I can't think of any any job that if you can do that, you can basically do anything. I think it said it can it can hold up to like 60 70 pounds at a time. Like just sit there and hold it. And again, it's not a human, so it's not one of those it's been it's been 20 minutes now I'm getting tired.

11:10Like I can't keep holding this I need I can move it for you. But this robot, it doesn't complain. Why? If you were a business owner, before you get upset, before you get all irrational about how you feel about what's to come, if you were a business owner, what would you do? Which which one would you hire? Would you hire the human that has all of those things that I listed? Or would you pay for the robot that will pay for itself and then some after just uh I don't know. I guess it depends what business you have, but it'll definitely pay for itself if you give it some time. It's a no-brainer. It's one of those things where you're backed into a corner. I mean, if I don't do it, my competitor is going to do it.

12:09You know, Johnny down the street has a competing factory and he just slashed his employees in half. And now because of that, he's able to produce more than twice as much because it's not just the extra money that he's making. It's um you know, you have these you have these superhuman robots that can do everything that we can do and then more. They can work forever. They can spin around. They're not limited by our own biology. You know, you can't you can't just spin your your damn spine around like you're an owl and then continue walking. These things can move in ways that we we would never even be able to. And not only that, they're able to do it while holding a decent amount of weight. Let's let's think about other industries that actually would be affected by this because my first thought is like doctors and surgeons.

13:21You know, imagine having having our hand but not having to worry about the size of that You know, we have to use these little tools because our hands are so big. if we just stick our hand in somebody while they have a surgery going on, we're going to kill them. We can't do that. So, we've perfected using these these tools. But what if you have the Atlas robot MD that comes in and says, "Okay, don't worry. I have this this hand that can turn into a like a little microscopic hand and it can go in and fix an artery that's clogged." I don't I don't know doctor but you know what I'm saying. this future I think is going to be amazing. I think it's going to be astounding. And I I am worried about, you know, where our purpose does come from.

14:22And it sucks that we've basically been brainwashed to think that without a job, we would have no purpose. without something that we can go and do between 9 and 5. Well, you can still do You can still find a passion. You can still do things. And people have been talking about UBI like universal basic income or um like you know like something where it's not just basic income, it's high income. So whether whether it's basic income or high income, basically some sort of universal payment system from the government, I guess that is going to be dished out to everybody just for existing and nobody's going to want for anything. And I guess I guess it does suck. It does suck to think about like I I don't really want that.

15:21That's That sounds a lot like like a controlling society that you'd be in. You know what I mean? I don't I don't know. I guess it's always felt very freeing that we all have the ability to make something big, to get rich or have I guess you could still like invent and have some sort of company. But again, it gets to a point where you you draw this timeline out long enough, eventually it'll be pointless. You know, like anything that you could think of inventing, you wouldn't do it. Are you Are you going to invent it? Are you going to literally sit there and take the time to do it? Of course not. Be like, "Oh, Atlas, and we need to get some of these materials. Let's let's go. Let's go get them.

16:17You don't have to worry about going to buy Oh, Atlas, I don't know. I don't know. Like, how? How far do you draw this timeline? And even then, this is the way that I'm thinking. Maybe it is like some sort of being brainwashed like this is the system you're in. So, that's of course how I see life. But what about the people that haven't been born yet? What about let's fast forward and robots are doing everything. Robots have literally every single job you could think of. Um they they deliver your food. You don't even if you have to if you want to go out to eat, I guess you can. You're not driving. You're going to be in one of those like Whimo things. You're going to you're going to have a self-driving car. It won't even be legal for you to drive your own car. You can't do that you got to go on the track or something where you know like you go drive go-karts now you have to go somewhere where you're permitted to drive.

17:15Other than that, no man, you going to slow up. We got we got AI actually being very efficient. Everybody's able to move at 150 miles hour and you know what I mean? They you just see cars literally whipping around because there are no mistakes that happen because everything is in a way in a hive mind when it comes to the artificial intelligence. They might have their own individual components that they're able to rationalize and reason and stuff like that, but there's probably going to be something where they can all tap into. The lights connect with the cars and the cars connect with the signs on the road and you know the directions of the what everything everything is one. The red lights, the green lights, the stop signs, everything is all connected. And if you think about what traffic jams are, it's basically just compounding stupid.

18:11You know, it's just a whole bunch of people like, "Oh, I didn't know how to get off here." And just being like people. That's okay. We're just people. What can you expect? Give us a break. We're only human. But it's a domino effect where you have dozens and dozens of people doing these human mistakes. And well, it backs up and next thing you know, you have a line down the freeway. We don't do that. We don't have that. We have a system where if you need to get over, there's a way where you can easily get over efficiently without, you know, slowing anybody down. And it it looks like one big machine that's working together if you were to look at it from an aerial view. All right, let's take a little break to mention the sponsor of this episode. By the way, sharks are older than trees. So, naturally, this video was brought to you by Carry On by Exo.

19:09It's now streaming everywhere you listen to music. Goodbye. I'll carry on lonely. Yeah. So I'mma carry on. Life could be a but we bondage. I know she just here to keep me honest. Testing me with hardship. Seeing if I crack under the pressure. I stand by every L stand for lack of effort. Close my eyes and I seems and my kids don't want for nothing. I've been dreaming of the day when I ain't stressing over money. But until that time comes, I ain't never slowing down. Heavy is the head with the crown. This to keep me up at night. Every day is wearing me down. Where is with the crown? The story of my life. I guess

19:56In this future where robots are doing everything, where robots are doing the driving. And I say robots because I mean what is a what is a robot, right? You know, like we we saw in the video different types of robots. One looked like a little dog that was walking around and then you got these humanoid looking things. So, these self-driving cars are basically robots. They just look like cars, you know, and it makes you think, what is a robot? Is it the capabilities that they have or is it the is it the quote unquote brain that we put inside of them? You know, that's just a hunk of metal without the intelligence part, without the ability to program into it. That's crazy. I actually don't know like are each of these programmed like it it's some sort of computer software or is it something that it it has some way of reasoning on what it needs to do next?

21:01And I guess then it would still need some sort of programming into it. I look at me trying to figure out how a robot works. Silly human. Because soon they're going to start creating themselves. They're going to start making better themselves. And it'll probably leave us scratching our heads. But why? Again, why why wouldn't you? I don't want one of these humanmade robots. very awesome, very efficient, very effective. But have you seen the the new design that has been created completely by robots? Not just created as far as like, you know, doing all of the technical work, but it thought of the schematics and designs behind it. It actually engineered its next version of itself. I'm sorry, but I can't go back to them humanmade things.

21:57Like, it's not the same. You'll see. You will see in this future. What are we doing? If we're not working, what are we doing? If everybody has everything they need, what are we doing? Is it one of those things where we're on constant vacation, constant retirement? I mean, you hear people you hear of people actually statistically dying faster once they retire. Well, nigga's not trying to die faster by any means. And I'm thinking that the reasoning behind that is because after all that time, putting in all those years into whatever job that you did, by the time you retire, slow down. Stop. Don't do anything. What do you mean? What are you talking about? This is why I get up every single morning.

22:56And it's crazy how much our own brains, our own perception actually dictates how our body performs. That's why you can have placebo effects and like that. That's why if you literally if you think something, it can it could come into existence and it seems like science fiction, but we're connected. Our brains and our bodies, it's all connected. Maybe maybe it's just a cleanse, right? Maybe after a long enough timeline, you don't have people that feel that way anymore. And it sounds a little crazy. Sounds a little conspiratorial, right? Conspiratorial. Conspiracy sounds like a conspiracy. Um, just kill off everybody that feels that way.

23:54Like I need purpose. I need meaning. I need all of this. I don't want to just exist. I want to have something, some sort of job, whatever. Even if it's not a job where I'm go make money. I need some sort of purpose. Aren't those people the worst? People that were born before 2050. God, got to get rid of all of them. 2050 and beyond though, those they're completely well, they're completely complacent and docile and they're okay with being hurted around. Not in a bad way. I mean, after all, they have everything they could ever want. Anything they could ever want. In fact, half of them don't even exist what is existing, but they don't consciously exist in the real world for the most part anyways. Half of them, they live in the virtual world where they literally just live in whatever simulation they feel like that day and they live whatever life.

25:03Maybe in this future it's more than half. Maybe maybe most of the people have to lean on simulated realities in order to get any sort of purpose from life. And that's that's kind of scary if you think about it. Not because I'm against it, honestly. I think I look forward to that. I think I look forward to that. It's It's kind of been one of those things where it's like a childhood fantasy that I've always had like to actually be in a game, feel like I'm in that I feel the wind. I get hurt. Obviously, I don't want to die, but like some sort of repercussion, you know what I mean? To make it where it feels like things are physically on the line right now. I don't know. Either way, haven't thought of all the details, but that's something I I remember being a little kid and being like, man, imagine if a game was like that.

26:02So, yeah, I'm I'm not against it by any means, but what's scary is if you take off the VR set, or that's me talking in these modern times, who am I to think that it'll be a VR set? that it won't be something that's just already, I don't know, augmented into our vision or our brain or some like that where it's very integrated. There's no leaving your phone behind. You and your phone are one. It's the same But it's scary to think that if you turn off the simulation, the VR driven purpose and meaning that you have found in life, it's scary to think that there's not any other purpose and meaning out there. And I think I think there will be people that reject all of it. They reject all of this And yes, you will have people born after 2050 in this hypothetical timeline where, you know, people radically think different by that time.

27:04You'll have kids that, yeah, they were born after 2050, but what if you were born in the woods and like one of these little communes that is completely against any sort of technology and you live off the grid? And it doesn't have to be one of those, you know, where it's some sort of like uh what do they call like a militia where you are the like the anti-terrorists or whatever. I don't I don't know where you are trying to take down the uh the the world order as it is. You know, if you are the group that is on the outsides of the cities and you don't use technology, you might think of it in the story where they're trying to overthrow the people that do use technology and try to free all of the people that are just enslaved by the technology that they cast aside.

28:04It doesn't have to be like that. What if they're just they're just chilling like coexist type And it doesn't have to be where the robots are like, "Let's go destroy them just because they're not a part of the the group." I get it. There's like they're great stories for movies and TV shows and like that. But it doesn't have to be like that. It could just be different people live in different ways. In fact, why would we even give a It actually might be better. Let the factions divide the way that they would. The people that give up technology alltogether. the people that just dive into these virtual realities and the people that want to merge with technology and they become half robot, half human. And you know what I mean? You got the robots, but now you got the human robots. Not just the humanoid robots, but the actual human robots. You know, cyborgs, I think they're called.

29:01You got cyborgs. You got people that they want to go live on Mars and you know, Earth. We did everything we could on Earth. We got to go terraform Mars and create a new planet just in case something happens. You got the people that want to just go and explore space period. And you know, again, forget Earth. You're going to have different factions of people. And if if we don't have if we don't have the worry of being able to afford to survive. I mean, I could see how people would naturally go into whatever direction they want to. You know, you either become a part of the system where you get this universal basic income or you say to hell with all of this technology and you go and find your own food, you find your own shelter and you figure out ways to do your own thing.

29:58I don't I don't know how sophisticated these people would want to be. When did they stop? You know, you got Amish people that uh they stopped at a certain level of technology. After that, they're like, "We're done. We don't want anymore. You can have like uh like a horse and carriage and like that. It's okay. But if I see a cell phone, we've gone a little bit too far. There should be no radios and How far do these people take it? How far do they do they do the same thing where there's literally no technology whatsoever? Or is up to like 2020 fine? Bro, you can have a iPhone and like that. Um, but you over here talking about augmented reality where you're inserting it into your brain or I can't even That's what That's what's so cool. I can't even think of the that's to come. We don't know. I literally saw the other day. I know this is random as but I saw the other day this said he came up with this uh it's AI powered, so it's autonomous.

30:57It follows you around. It's like a drone flood like floating above you. You're like, "Why the would you have a drone floating above you?" I'm sorry. It's a umbrella. It's an umbrella drone that floats above you autonomously and follows you when it rains. Hold an umbrella, I never would have thought of that That's what And it just follows me. I've been waiting and I'm going to put this out into the world cuz I really want this to happen, you know? I've always I've always struggled finding somebody to hold the camera. You know, you hold the camera and it's a little shaky. So, it's like you got to and the tripod, it's just a very still still image. Of course, it's good for things like podcast, but when you're doing music, you know, you want somebody you want some movement in that And I remember I took I took my kids to see Sonic 3, I think it was. And the Dr. Eggman, the Jim Carrey character, I think it's Dr.

31:55Eggman. dude has these little ball things that are following him around and they they're basically little cameras and microphones. So this at any time can have a cameraman and they just follow him and it's autonomous. There is no re if we can have a floating umbrella that follows you. I'm telling you, I'm putting it out into the world. That's one of the pieces of technology that I want to see it. Uh that would be a game changer. I would get that immediately. That would be SoFi. Sofi. Oh my god. I'm getting excited at the idea of it. A floating umbrella. What made what made you know what I'm tired of? When it rains, I got to sit here and like my arm hurts. My arm hurts. And then taking it back to what we were talking about. This is where a lot of people are like, see, we're replacing our own arms now. We're replacing our arms. We're so lazy. Again, have you seen Wall-E? They're all fat and sitting down for a reason. You call them sci-fi movies and TV shows.

32:57I don't know, man. It's starting to feel like it's just predicting what's to come. You You say don't be pessimistic, but it's starting to feel like we're we're on a bad path no matter what. We can't even hold our umbrellas now. And I don't I don't by any means actually feel like that's a negative thing. I think it's cool bro figured out how to just like imagine the first time he used that when it rained and he just walked around. He knows everybody's looking at him. You know that felt cool as Oh, this a little something I made. You know, it's my umbrella. Don't worry, it it stays with me. I can't even imagine all of the different inventions that are going to be here 20 years from now.

33:55It's going to be a lot shorter timeline than that. But 20 25 years from now, man, where people are literally just like, I don't know what type of future that's going to be. People are just scratching their heads for the first time ever. People are just scratching their heads like, man, the future could look like anything. Imagine how many different inventions will change the way that we interact with the world around us, the way that we look at life, where people will think it is barbaric that we ever had to hold our own umbrellas. Well, what if there's wind? Sometimes there was. Well, you got wind resistant and that's just the start. And maybe that's where we get meaning from. But not everybody can be an inventor.

34:51Not everybody can come up with some I'll be thinking of like some ideas like damn it'd be cool if I had this like I don't know how to make it though. is that going to do? I guess there old Atlas Mr. factory worker slashinventor slashdocctor slash any thing I need. can you help me out? This is what I want to do. The same way that we're able to prompt in an application or website and it just spits it out. The same way we're able to prompt image creation or video creation, the same way we're able to prompt whatever with LLMs. Now, what if there's some way that you can do that same sort of prompting system with an actual humanoid robot charged by artificial intelligence? Well, we actually can create this the thing that you were talking about as far as uh Dr.

35:48Eggman and his little floating cameras. Um, in fact, uh, let's uh let's look at the schematics for this this umbrella thing you're talking about and it starts computing. I don't know. See, I I I don't know how I would do it. It sounds good. Like you get a little bong, maybe a fan. It's like a helicopter, but then it's like if you have a fan and it's going up, then you got the fan noise in the shot. So, you can't really you can't really talk without having a constant like ring like fan ringing in the background. It's kind of, you know, not everybody can be an inventor, bro. I would I would flop around like a fish out of water. I wouldn't know what to do. It's like, okay, yeah, because you're not an inventor. You're a creator. See, you could also find meaning from that. You can create different things. You can create podcasts and movies and all of these things that make it easier. It's not going to make it where it's pointless to make movies. It's going to make it where anybody can do these things. Anybody could be an inventor. You have the idea, somebody's going to be there to help you.

36:47You have the idea for a movie, something, some sort of software or artificial intelligent, LLM, something is going to be there to actually generate that for you. You don't have to worry about finding actors. You don't have to worry about finding the material. You don't have to worry about knowing how to invent something. You don't have to worry about You just have the idea and bam, here it is. Is that future so bad? Is that future something that we should be running away from? Again, I'm just I guess I'm just nervous that that open-minded feeling that I have to, okay, if you're not an inventor, you could do this. If you're you know, whatever you can imagine. There's some people that just like I can't imagine anything. I don't I don't really care about any of that. I just want to and I guess that like you can just those will be the the people that they live in like the virtual realities and everything is just spoonfed. But then that's also what some people are scared about.

37:48Just sheep being hurtded around, being spoonfed, whatever piece of content. Again, just pushing that damn dopamine button over and over. Just a walking bag of meat that does nothing. And I think I think I've talked about this before where you look at other animals and they're just they're just animals. They just exist as themselves. So is that so bad? Is that our intelligence getting in our own way of simplicity and bliss where because we have a certain level of intelligence and consciousness, we have to feel like, well, this this can't just be my life. Surely this can't be where I derive meaning from just being. And in fact, I'm talking about deriving meaning.

38:43Not even worrying about meaning. Just yeah, pushing the dopamine button. When I eat when I want to eat, I watch it when I want to watch it. I go and look at the sunset when I want to. I just literally just do whatever my body, you know, my instincts are telling me to do. I don't know. Maybe maybe a side effect of not flexing our where do I get meaning from? What should I do? Not flexing that for so long. Again, right now it's easy to be like that that would never happen. But 100 100 200 years from now we're we're all dead unless they you know do some longevity science type where we can continue to extend our life which you know fingers crossed on that. But assuming that we were in the minority, again, if you're really pushing against anything techreated or anything like uh you don't want to embrace the changes and blah blah blah, you're probably not going to embrace the same longevity science that's going to help you keep, you know, keep your body alive for longer.

39:58You'll probably just say that's not natural and you'll die off again. 200 years from now, world is completely different. Anything that we could think of, it's it's basically a fraction of what's actually to come. At that point, the dominant persona, the dominant personality, the dominant vibe for the culture is going to be just go with it. It's all good, bro. That's not that deep. We don't need meaning. Not even thinking about like that. Does our intelligence go down too? Is that a side effect of what happens after generation after generation and generation? Does our intelligence and not that we can measure it, our level of consciousness lower?

41:00We just give a less. because that's a that's a type of future I guess I wouldn't want to be a part of because even if you did still give a if the majority of people did not give a What's uh what are you giving a about? You know, like uh where where are you getting your your meaning from? Again, let's say you get your meaning from you give a about inventing stuff and creating creating new I don't know whatever whatever is needed at that time to help people all around the world. But nobody gives a It's only you. Only you and a few other people are like look this is this is lifechanging. I'm like yeah I don't give a I don't know 200 years from now the level of give a could be extremely lowered which I put a link between that and our intelligence and consciousness level but that's only because that's where I lie the blame for why we even need some sort of sense of purpose why we even give a about a meaning in our You know, if we were more

42:23Simple, we'll put it that way. If we were more simple, we wouldn't give a either. We would wake up every single day, smile on our face, just happy. not even really happy to be alive because you don't even really give a enough to wrestle with the idea that you might not have woke up today, that you could have died in your sleep last night. You won't wrestle with those. How do you give a about gratitude when you're too busy enjoying the moment to be grateful? It's uh it's went on a lot of different angles than than I thought it would. But that's that's kind of what happens when I start thinking out loud about the future. When I saw the Atlas robot, I I flipped the out, man. Like, I I was blown away.

43:21And one thing that one thing that is I don't I wouldn't call it bothering me, but I've definitely noticed it. So maybe a certain level it does bother me, but I've definitely noticed that I I ended up showing this to so many different different people, different friends and family, right? I didn't get one single positive response. Not one. Like not one. Not one person was like, "Oh my god." Even from my dad. Like my dad growing up, he was always I think he's the one that really got me into this. Like you know what I mean? like aliens and thinking about different technology and like that. I don't I thought out of anybody he would have even if you are scared be like whoa this is this is amazing scary as but this is breathtaking how far we've come and I think in the video Boston Dynamics said this is 30 years of work where they start out with those little robots and they continue to progress and this wasn't something that Well, AI's here.

44:34Let's just come up with robots. Now, it it didn't just pop out of nowhere. We've been saying we want robots. We've been saying we want automation. We've been saying we want help with the hard work. Who wants to do any of the hard things that that go into the things that we have to do when we can create and invent things that don't? Why would we want to walk places when we can drive? Why would we want to drive places when we can fly? Why would we want to fly places when we can just, I don't know, take a cruise and now we could be out in the middle of the ocean and watching dolphins? We We come up with all these different things that can scratch different itches that we have. And we've been having the itch of robotics for a long time. Nobody was positive. Everybody was saying, "This is crazy. This is everybody's going to get replaced." Just a whole bunch of doom and gloom This is scary. Like my mom didn't even really say words.

45:30Like she just like started like making noises at it like it was some sort of like demon. I don't I I don't know. I I just thought thought this was a cool video. It showed uh it showed these robots that can do everything that we can do and more. But that's what's scary. Have you not seen these movies? And you can look at the um I think it was called like the CES like some sort of tech convention that was that was going on and there was other robots other than the Atlas. The Atlas was there. It made it it made its debut there. And uh of course it it had a lot of people very impressed. But they weren't the only robots. There was other robots there that were like something you could box with and were doing different fighting moves and like that. Maybe that's where people's minds go.

46:25Like these robots, they what if they can just take over? We won't be the apex predator. I don't know. Again, we've been we've been we've been thinking about this for a long time since before I was born. You know what I mean? Like we've been thinking about this since like when did the Jetsons come out, you know, the me George Jetson? I don't even I don't think I've ever actually watched it. I just know of that cartoon where they got flying cars, they got robots and like that. Everything looks all futuristic in this show. How how long have we been hoping for this future and now it's here and everybody's scared? I don't know. I I for I I for one am excited. I'm nervous. It's like the same feeling when you're going up a roller coaster and you know you just it's it's like a big ass roller coaster.

47:28You're basically looking straight up and you just hear that t and you're going all the way up and we're at the very end where the it's going to go a little bit slower. everybody the entire way up that I that's been around me it's been like this thing's going to crash as soon as we go down we're going off the rails we're going to go around the loop and we're just going to fall down there they're coming up with all of these different ways where this roller coaster is going to crash and I'm just like this shit's also going to be pretty fun if it doesn't though you know like did you not see everybody uh put their hands up on this part this is going to be the fun part. Isn't that why we got in line? Isn't that why we got on this ride in the first place? And I guess you could argue a lot of people in this world, they didn't sign up for this.

48:25They didn't ask to be on this ride, so to speak. And yet here they are with everybody else. Is that fair? I mean, fair. You don't have to partake. You don't have to partake. I mean, but to bury your head in the sand. You can't do that either. And maybe it's not fair. Maybe the fact that you can't bury your head in the sand and just say, "Y'all do you guys. I'mma do me." And you know, I'm going to keep my job. I'm going to do like, what if you can't do that? What if again, you 30 years from now, everybody's getting replaced? I don't give a 30 years from now, everybody's replaced. By the time my kids are are my age, so it's it doesn't even have to be 30 years. That's why I'm saying 30 years just to give myself grace. I think by the time my kids my son is eight, my daughter is six. By the time my kids are grown, by the time you you have to start thinking about, okay, I'm out.

49:24I'm a I'm a grown I'm a grown-up. I got to worry about bills and all that I don't think they will. I don't I don't think I don't think they will. And what do you what do you tell the next generations that are coming? Go to college. What do you tell the next generations? Be be a doctor. Spend eight years to become a doctor to get replaced. You will be replaced. Everybody. Everybody. And I think I think as scary as that is, it opens up the possibility of a very different but bright future. And maybe I'm wrong. Maybe maybe this roller coaster will crash.

50:23Maybe. But it won't crash immediately. At least I'm I'm banking on it. So, I'm gonna put my hands up. I'mma go down this first this first hill. I'mma scream at the top of my lungs and I'm going to have a big ass smile on my face because I did want to get on this ride. I did want to see how it felt. I didn't want to be another generation that like like my dad was was born in the 60s and he would tell me that like him growing up they would think they would have flying cars and like that. Like what you did? That's that's wild that you thought that. And then as time passed, I was like, man, maybe maybe everybody thinks that.

51:21Maybe everybody thinks that this is when everything's going to change. And yes, obviously from when he was a kid to when I was a kid, everything changed completely. What internet, you know, what streaming? So obviously there was changes, but it wasn't the changes that they wanted. I didn't want to be another generation that was looking at some of these things that we called the future. An example, flying cars. An example, robots that do the work for you. An example, artificial intelligence. An example, 3D printers that can just print our food. And I know it's like, what the are you talking about? These are different futuristic technologies that we looked at and have been fantasizing over for how long?

52:17I didn't want to be another generation that was just looking at a fantasy. And I'm starting to see so many of these childlike fantasies of mine come true. And everybody is scared as Everybody is nervous as Everybody's telling me that the roller coaster is about to crash. Nobody has their hands up. And I don't mean nobody. Nobody. It's like I have to go online to look at other people that are also optimistic about the future. and I just kind of know them from afar where I see them in videos and they seem optimistic. But the average person that I know, every single person that I've talked to about this, literally every single person, I haven't talked to one single person about this about any of the futuristic like at all.

53:17Like e even AI, not one single person is positive. And I'm not saying it like these people suck and you know you know what anything bad about them. Obviously these are people around me. Like I said, friends and family. I think it's more of a metric of what the average everyday person feels about the the future that's coming. And yeah, you can argue it's such a small sample size that doesn't really doesn't really show how the average person thinks, but I don't know. I don't know. I would I would have thought maybe talking you talking to your parents, you talk to, you know what I mean? Anybody in older generations. No, no. people my age, people younger, just in general I think it's I think it's sad because we're missing our opportunity to put our hands up and maybe maybe it's like that Final Destination movie where I know that this shit's going to crash.

54:32What do you mean put my hands up? It's going to crash later and you just sound insane. Well, yeah, put your hands up until it does. It's going to crash, but until it does, you might as well enjoy yourself, man. That's that's very nihilistic of it. Doesn't matter what you do, you can't stop it. You might as well enjoy it. Yeah, I could see how that sounds crazy, but nobody nobody really has that premonition. For real. That not that I know of. Nobody can really see the future like that. For real. You're just assuming that everything won't work out. You're just assuming that this roller coaster is going to derail. Think it might be a little fun. Just Just a little fun.
