Will artificial superintelligence usher in a new paradigm shift that could SOLVE the baseline scarcity mindsets we’ve been programmed into?
What about job loss on the way there? What’s REALLY happening in the job market – what are the disruptions caused by AI?
I answer all those questions in today’s video.
Enjoy!

So Elon Musk has about 264.7 billion dollars. If he were to give every adult in the United States, that was over the age of 18, one million dollars each, he would still have pretty much 264.7 billion dollars. But what would be the impact of giving every US adult over the age of 18, one million dollars. Well, I'll tell you. It would be economic chaos. It would destroy the economy.
We can't just give people money to buy things. It has to be fundamentally UBS, that is universal basic services. Like free shelter, free electricity, free water, free furnishing, and I mean nice furnishings that are tailored to individual tastes. Free medical, dental, mental health. We're gonna need some mental health, I'm pretty sure. Free computers–good high-end computers. Free perfect internet. Basically, free anything (transportation) that will lead to humans having the ability to "self-actualize" without working or having any kind of real purpose in life. Because THAT is what is coming.
I've looked at UBI, and it can only be used as a very short-term transitional step to a genuine "post-scarcity" economy. But if you insist, then I suggest that UBI will only be successful if I am the only one getting it. If you give it to everyone else too, it will be so watered down that it won't be helpful anymore. For me I mean. Also, nobody needs to know I'm getting it. I don't want everybody all mad at me.
But this is what is coming. Come hell or high water. And there is as of today, zero infrastructure in place when that "early" retirement starts to bite. And it's gonna. And it could just end up being all violent social upheaval. Hopefully not. I don't want the ASI to say, "this is pointless, just erase the lot of 'em." Yes, the technological singularity may seriously not be survivable. I give us 80/20 odds. 80% being "Deep Utopia: Life and Meaning in a Solved World" (Nick Bostrom) and 20% chance of extinction. I am fairly confident, but 20% is a big ass percentage.
I want to look at the question, from the other direction. The way you put it, "WHAT, do you think about the coming age of AI". I say it as, "WHAT, exactly is coming"? You, better than anybody can see that the (transformer) model is dead, with GPT5. We gotta go at this a different logic. I can make an analogy to RAM. A person can only push the clock speed to about (10,000)MHz before it gets so unstable it blue screens all the time. Then go to the next logic. DDR2 or 3,4,5,6. GPT is the same way. We took it to 5. Time for a new recipe. You got more insight on this kind of thing. Tell me what is next. Or at least "try" to. It most likely up there where I can't really understand. Evenso, goodday.
Julia I keep wanted to watch you content but you camera cuts drive me nuts. Please turn off auto zoom on the camera or something. PLEASE!
We are 20 to 25 years away of this… we already have agi but they releasing steps by steps controlled environments by the times the huge corporations make the robots with the ai that do everything it will yake 20 to 25 years.
Don't need to thanks me I know what's coming up.
Nice try you're trippin..
I don’t know if it’s your knowledge or your beauty… maybe both but I’m in love 😩😍
Trump is in deep with Palantir, Elon Musk (Tesla, SpaceX, GrokAI), and Peter Theil and everything associated with him via JD Vance.
Putting politics aside, Trump is surrounded and is heavily influenced by the upcoming usurpers of Big Tech who are pushing A.I., space exploration, and fundamental reforms to our infrastructure and way of living. We have seen the old guard in big tech as well change their political allegiance to Trump like Zuckerberg, Bezos, and many others.
There will be no doubt Trump can and very much seems to be willing to bring America into a new golden age powered by A.I. and new technologies, and there will be many in the administration pushing him in that direction.
(Also to mention) He will stand mostly unopposed having the popular mandate of the people, both house and Senate majorities, and a stacked supreme court.
A Trump Government plus AI industry can create a future populist and new elite cohesian that can bring the best of both A.I. potential and the beginning steps of what UGI looks like in a capitalist society.
I don't know about or specifically trust Sam Altman, but Elon, Trump, and a large group of patriots pulling the strings in the way that benefits America benefits me.
I don't know what the future holds, but there seems to be a light at the end of the tunnel.
Your vision for the future brings me a lot of hope Julia, I think you are way ahead of your time. Most people today worry about the current economy and can't see where we can get to in the years to come. People in our generation could live in an UBI fully automated world. Maybe within 20 years or sooner. I am Xcited about that, a brighter day for humanity. Mr. X
I am a complete beginner, but I love AI . I am dyslexic and struggle with self-worth, I am already amazed, i want to learn more. How would you advice
Hahaha! This is such delusional nonsense. The technology is defective from the start. The defects are an actual "functioning" part of it. In other words, the baby and the bath water are fused together. You have to throw out the whole thing and start over. That will take decades. The only thing that this technology is going to be good for is making its masters even wealthier while continuing to move cash from the lowest 99% to the .01 percent. It's all a horrible scam that no one needs or asked for. The vast majority of people will be better off without greater implementation of this phony and intentionally defective "technology."
I have begun coaching because AI can organize my thoughts. However, I see the opportunity and want more. It amazing for people with my difficulties
So millions of videos made by AI for people without talent otherwise, will change the system and magically sprout abundance? How?
Sorry, this many cuts is unwatchable!
I appreciate the enthusiasm and hopefulness of some Ai experts etc but doesn't it seem that technologies have always been used through the ages to also destroy and oppress people? It's curious to me how ppl talk about Ai somehow bringing abundance to everyone. Will it end classism?
Not without an energy breakthrough. We will need more energy for it all. Hopefully, AGI will figure out cold fusion.
I think that this going to surprise most folks and they will default into fear but those who embrace it and take the dive and learn how it can help everyone if viewed from an open mindset and those who embrace will prosper first with the first mover advantage just like Bitcoin!😁😁👍🙏
Hi Julia, where can i get that shirt please . Outstanding video keep up the great work. i believe in you, i think you can make it big. 😊
i think that this whole video is AI created , including you , and is grooming us to accept it so we become dependent and enslaved to it.
I hope you're right, as modt political problems in our world can be summed up as "shortages management".
Much as it might be nice in many ways, I think "true" AGI is and will remain mythical for many decades to come, or longer.
On the other hand, AI assist and augmentation, and specialized AI-operated tasks will become commonplace in many fields. The BIG transition factor will be distribution of AI-produced "value" and resources. Some form of UBI will have to be created. Right now, almost all that AI-generated profit goes to the corporations that own the equipment, and never reaches "working class" people.
The dangers of AI otherwise is the NON-awareness AI has of unintended consequences when problem-solving, and the ease of abuse by humans either intentionally or accidentally giving destructive instructions or criteria to the AI.
Love your content……I worked on an assembly line @ John Deere and felt I had much more to offer other than muscle memory repetitive work all day long
Sure. Starting in 1913. Progressives and their schemes infiltrated and corrupted government and institutions, to the point where today the government is directly involved in 18% of the economy, vs 14% with the CCP in China.😬
There have always been a lot fewer creative types than non-creative. Not everyone can be creative, not even most. There are no rock stars without the crowds. You are ignoring the vast majority of the population.
I woud recommend against the jumpy camera… its really unnecessary and is quite distracting. Your more natural style videos are better.
Unlimited abundance would lead to unlimited boredom. Discuss.
In a Twilight Zone episode, a hit man is killed and he wakes up in a room he thinks is in heaven where he can have anything he wants at any time, just ask. At first it's wonderful but over time it becomes progressively more boring until he summons his guardian and says, I can't take this anymore, I should have gone to the other place (hell). His guardian says, you are in the other place.
IMHO, the best outcome of genuine AGI will be the establishment of full Universal Basic Services (UBS) where everyone has all their basic human needs provided by a socialist central government. UBS means quality services like basic housing, K thru PhD/MD education, day care, public transportation, a federally funded job guarantee (until we get full automation), all health care, dental care, mental health care, elder care, full pensions, all basic utilities, basic insurance, internet, UBI as needed, etc. All paid for and managed by the central govt. How to pay for it? If you know MMT you already know it can be easily paid for. If you don't know MMT, now's the time to learn. PS: UBI only without UBS is, for many reasons, a bad policy choice that will harm society and the working class. UBI only without any UBS is greatly desired by ultra-wealthy elites who wish to maintain power over society. UBS will empower the poor and working class.
Waiting for AGI, it will shower its real colors
I think AGI has great opportunity to advance humanity but without guard rails this technology could create a harsh new world. Our current ‘system’ has been designed in a certain way and that way will either fight to preserve their current advantage or hijack the AGI opportunity for themselves.
In medieval times, if you have told them about coding and computers, you have been tied to the stake and burned to death while people screamed at you to repent.
In today's business world new ideas are a personal threat to the people and institutions in power, and they will respond in force. For the young generation for I have great hope you. You need to get out and do this on your own. The old world dinosaurs have got to go.
Excellent thoughts Julia! My concern is that people like you and I who want to embrace this future and wonder "what was I born to create" will thrive in the future of AI, but those that are lost or do not have the mental capacity to pivot and adapt will become lost souls in the future world. Unfortunately, the masses seem to be nothing but sheeple, looking for their next meal and thrill, nothing more. Perhaps the world will split even further into the "haves" and "have nots". I'm not sure UBI is the answer. It can feed the masses, but they'll probably always feel lost. Would love your thoughts on this!
Of course, one can hope that humanity will get a warm toilet, not the horrors of deep space.
But if a corporation can own property, so can AI.
And it will take it all.
Julia I'm a fan but it's to many camera changes… Can't wait for the age of abundance!!!
