1. “I think it's absolutely amazing. Personally, I think it's amazing, and I'm really grateful to live in such exciting times. It's also not surprising because if you look at the history in the longer run, we've always seen those kind of changes. And those kind of changes fueling then the societal changes. If you look at farming, around 1800, you had 90% of the population working in farming. around 1950 at the time that you just cited, I think it was down to about 20%. And today we're seeing about one 1.5%. So this change is really what allowed us to take the human capacity and then apply it to new problems. And a lot of the things that we see around us today, even kind of our jobs that we're doing here, recording podcasts, things like that, those wouldn't have been possible if everyone would still work in farming, right? I think AI as such will absolutely accelerate this once more.”
