Short monologue expressing fear about AI-driven job displacement (claim: hundreds of millions of jobs may disappear) and forecasting societal responses: human migration to Mars, migration into virtual worlds, and a segment opting out of technology (‘new Amish’) returning to simple agrarian life (example: goat farming).

Chapters

I had a lot of fear about AI. I think it's going to be brutally difficult for tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions of people. 300 million jobs are supposed to disappear. I think in the next five years, some people are going to go to Mars and they're going to say, I want life on hard mode. I want to start at zero. And then I think a bunch of people are going to go into virtual worlds. It's far less risky and far more exhilarating to explore virtual worlds, because you can make them whatever they want. And I think some will be what I call the new Amish. And so they'll be here on Earth. They'll eject out of technology, essentially. Eventually, they'll live. What they will consider, I'm sure, a pure life more in tune with God. That will be goat farming. Yeah. Yeah, exactly.
