What do you do when you only have to work three days a week and you have four days as your weekend? Elon Musk said universal basic income is no longer a question of if, it's a question of when. Because AI is going to take away so many jobs, it's actually going to be a good thing. I believe now that by 2030 we are going to be headed to three to four day work week. Governments in many parts of the world are going to make it possible for companies to only need to employ human beings for three to four weeks. Now, does this sound bad? No. There's no drop in salary. You just work less. But this is going to create huge human renaissance. I have hope for human beings. I don't think we're going to get hooked on Instagram or TikTok. Yes, that can be addictive. But I think we're going to use that time to spend with our friends to create, develop new ideas to spend with our children, to travel the world, to spend time in nature. I believe that the future is going to be delicious. Yes, there's a small chance that AI may go rogue, so be polite to chatgpt.
