Speaker A
If I had started in 2022, it would have taken me four years.
Speaker A
And when you really think about that, that basically means everyone now has a chance.
Speaker B
This is Mo.
Speaker B
Former Chief Business Officer at Google X, where he spent over a decade running business innovations.
Speaker B
He says everyone now has a chance, but only if they understand what's actually coming.
Speaker A
the skill of an entrepreneur in the past.
Speaker A
was the ability to foresee something in the future that no one else saw.
Speaker A
and to prepare for that, that's a game of chess is over.
Speaker A
It's off the table, this has turned into squash.
Speaker A
I'm just basically saying get prepared.
Speaker B
How much time do we have to prepare?
Speaker A
within the next two to three years, you're going to see a massive shift in the jobs market.
Speaker A
So you asked me what should we do?
Speaker A
Number one, learn the skills.
Speaker A
Number two,
Speaker B
Well, thank you so much for joining us, welcome to Silicon Valley Girl.
Speaker A
Thank you.
Speaker B
You said something that we're about to enter what you call 12 to 15 years of hell before heaven, possibly starting in 2027, so what's going to happen in 2027?
Speaker A
I think it will peak in 2027, it already started for sure.
Speaker A
I call it FACE RIPs, just as a an acronym for people to remember, uh, you know, each of those letters is a word, but let me tell tell the story quickly in in ways that people will understand.
Speaker A
Uh, there is the power and freedom, uh, dimension, uh, so the P and the F, uh, there is the R and the C, the reality and connection dimension, uh, there is the uh, I and the C, the innovation and connection and and sorry and um and economics dimension, and then there is the A, so let me tell them very quickly.
Speaker A
To start with, uh, AI is our last innovation.
Speaker A
Right, uh, most people don't know that, but we are already building AIs that are building AIs.
Speaker A
We're building AIs that are discovering scientific discovery that will blow you away.
Speaker A
They're reinventing math, they're understanding biology in ways that we've never seen before.
Speaker A
They're understanding material science in ways that are just mind-blowing.
Speaker A
And so very quickly, uh, most innovation, definitely tech innovation,
Speaker A
will be done at the hands of AI.
Speaker A
Uh, because of that, and because most tasks that need intelligence will be handed over to the machines.
Speaker A
As the machines' capabilities, uh, increase.
Speaker A
Lots of debate around when exactly, say it's 10 years, say it's two years, doesn't really matter.
Speaker A
Uh, eventually every job that AI does better than humans will be handed over to AI.
Speaker A
Um, and every every task we've ever assigned to them, they eventually ended up doing better than humans.
Speaker A
And so, um, the first part of the dystopia is that innovation
Speaker A
is going to take away all jobs.
Speaker A
Okay, of course, the capitalists of Silicon Valley will tell you this is great.
Speaker A
It's incredible productivity gains for everyone.
Speaker A
Uh, you know, you see jobs will be easy, uh, people won't have to work as hard.
Speaker A
All of the fancy PR led, uh, uh, you know, conversations that we try to appear, uh, altruistic when we share them.
Speaker A
The truth is, people will be out of jobs.
Speaker A
Right, 10, 20, 30% of certain sectors will see unemployment of that rate in the next few years.
Speaker A
Right, and when that happens, economics at large will change massively.
Speaker A
The whole definition of capitalism was labor arbitrage.
Speaker A
And without labor, uh, you know, without the need for labor,
Speaker A
the obligation or or the need to keep people happy and engaged and alive and disgruntled if you want.
Speaker A
to the point where they don't rise.
Speaker A
becomes more of an obligation than a desire.
Speaker A
Right, there is a very big difference in, you know, in terms of wanting someone to to be the their best.
Speaker A
because they are productive members of society.
Speaker A
Or trying to just give them a UBI, a universal basic income.
Speaker A
to just give them a life so that they don't uprise.
Speaker A
And you can imagine that in a capitalist society, especially like the US, and most of the West,
Speaker A
you know, while we start with UBI, that UBI is going to be paid by the taxes of the platform owners.
Speaker A
And the platform owners will have enough power to to say I don't want to pay that much.
Speaker A
I mean, those guys are not producing anything.
Speaker A
And so over time, you can imagine how that would turn into a struggle.
Speaker A
Right, so so that dimension of intelligence and innovation on one side.
Speaker A
becoming entirely a machine thing.
Speaker A
leading to a redefinition of economics, a redefinition of money, a redefinition of jobs, a redefinition of earnings.
Speaker A
Uh, redefinition of capitalism.
Speaker A
You know, the need for a new economic theory when there is no, um, demand for the supply that AI is generating.
Speaker A
All of that has to be rethought.
Speaker A
There is the PF, uh, dimension, the power freedom dimension.
Speaker A
And and it's of course very clearly understood.
Speaker A
that if you look at human history, the best hunter in a tribe would have been able to feed the tribe a week more.
Speaker A
Let's say, and then, you know,
Speaker A
got as a result of that the favor of a few mates in the tribe.
Speaker A
Uh, you go to the best farmer, they got estates and land.
Speaker A
because they could feed the tribe a season more.
Speaker A
Uh, you go to the best industrial industrialist, you you know, they had the exuberance of the 1920s.
Speaker A
because they could affect their entire nation.
Speaker A
The, you know, the information technology, uh, tycoons, the the tech oligarchs, if you want to call them.
Speaker A
are now being rewarded with billions of dollars.
Speaker A
because they affect the world at large.
Speaker A
And, you know, the the big power concentration of AI.
Speaker A
is going to be rewarded with massive influence and massive power.
Speaker A
because those people will redefine humanity.
Speaker A
And so that dimension is quite interesting.
Speaker A
Of course, the clear dimension is the, you know, the the RC dimension is the the reality to connection dimension.
Speaker A
Now that reality has become so fake in so many ways.
Speaker A
Fake in terms of what populates your feed, how it's generated.
Speaker A
How much of it is real, how much of it is human.
Speaker A
And so on, you know, you're you're here to to look at some filmmakers.
Speaker A
that use AI from A to Z to to create.
Speaker B
And it's crazy and you can't sometimes you forget.
Speaker A
You cannot tell the difference.
Speaker B
You can't tell the difference.
Speaker A
And and, you know, you I I don't know if you've ever had that experience.
Speaker A
But I met a woman once on a dating app and we spoke for six weeks before we met.
Speaker A
And all we exchanged was texts and, you know, photos and voice messages and videos.
Speaker A
And so on, and favorite music and favorite movies and all of those things.
Speaker A
And I've never met her in person and I felt such an affinity to her.
Speaker A
Right, all of those can be generated with AI today.
Speaker B
Yeah.
Speaker A
Now, the the challenge is that this human connection
Speaker A
is also part of the power freedom dimension.
Speaker A
Why, because it's, you know, people don't, uh,
Speaker A
align with AIs to start a an uprising.
Speaker A
So, you know, maybe get them to get in touch more with AIs.
Speaker A
Maybe get them to to get, um, you know, multiple experiences.
Speaker A
Some of them are a little taboo if you want.
Speaker A
Uh, and and have those available to everyone.
Speaker A
It's very cheap to to create those on on the machines.
Speaker A
And you can see it already in the industry.
Speaker A
And how much of it is being generated by AI.
Speaker A
And you can see it in the number of of influencers on on social media.
Speaker A
that are completely AI generated and so on.
Speaker A
And I say, so this is FACE RIPs, seven dimensions.
Speaker A
The one that matters most is the A, the second one, which is not on any dimension.
Speaker A
It's the one that's causing all of them, which is accountability.
Speaker A
And the reason why all of this is happening, if you ask me, is because we've started a world.
Speaker A
where anyone can do whatever they want.
Speaker A
Okay, and, you know, whether you as an influencer, you can give a bit of advice to entrepreneurs.
Speaker A
that can get someone to to make a lot of money or lose a lot of money.
Speaker A
You're not accountable.
Speaker A
Nobody can come back to you and say.
Speaker B
Oh.
Speaker A
But she told me on Instagram.
Speaker B
You're not responsible.
Speaker A
Right.
Speaker A
That's that's actually amazing.
Speaker A
That they can.
Speaker B
You're not responsible.
Speaker A
Right.
Speaker A
That's that's amazing that they can.
Speaker A
But what if they cannot anymore?
Speaker A
What if that?
Speaker B
If I may AI, right?
Speaker A
If yeah.
Speaker A
What if you're AI?
Speaker A
What if you're a president who doesn't respect anything?
Speaker A
What if you're a prime minister of a nation that is changing things without, you know,
Speaker A
I think COVID was the very first experiment of, okay, stay at home.
Speaker A
Do what we tell you.
Speaker A
And and people complied.
Speaker A
And so now Sam Altman, with all due respect, I don't I don't think of Sam Altman as a person.
Speaker A
I think of him as a brand.
Speaker A
A type of person, if you want.
Speaker A
Right, and that type of person is the Californian disruptor that says, you know what?
Speaker A
I see a future that's very different than what everyone sees.
Speaker A
I'm going to go out there and make that future.
Speaker A
Nobody asked me if I want that to be my future.
Speaker A
Nobody asked you.
Speaker A
Right, and I think the reality is that now you're going to see quite a few Altmans.
Speaker A
Right, quite a few that are, you know, using those machines for surveillance.
Speaker A
Using those machines for autonomous weapons, using those machines for automated trading.
Speaker A
And so on and so forth.
Speaker A
And by the way, when you started your question.
Speaker A
I said it's 10 to 12 years.
Speaker A
Yeah.
Speaker A
But that's not easy.
Speaker A
10 to 12 years of of that arms race is not easy.
Speaker A
My my perception is that after that, we will end up in an incredible utopia.
Speaker A
Almost biblical style utopia.
Speaker A
Uh, but it is 10 to 12 years where if we just change our mindset a little bit,
Speaker A
a lot of things will change.
Speaker B
Okay, real talk for a second.
Speaker B
Mo is literally describing a world where your data, your behavior, your online life.
Speaker B
becomes a tool for control.
Speaker B
And I've been thinking a lot about this lately.
Speaker B
Because I run two YouTube channels, I travel constantly.
Speaker B
And my whole business lives online.
Speaker B
And that's exactly why I want to talk about Surfshark.
Speaker B
Most people don't realize it's already happening.
Speaker B
Every time you go online, your IP address, your location, your browsing habits, all of it is visible.
Speaker B
To advertisers, to platforms, to anyone who wants to look.
Speaker B
Surfshark is a VPN that changes that.
Speaker B
It masks your IP and encrypts your internet traffic, so what you do online stays yours.
Speaker B
And there is a practical side to it.
Speaker B
You can switch your location and find cheaper flights, better deals, access content from other countries.
Speaker B
In a world where AI is amplifying everything Mo just described, owning your digital privacy is basic preparation.
Speaker B
Go to surfshark.com/silicon or use code Silicon at checkout.
Speaker B
You get four extra months on your plan.
Speaker B
Link is in the description.
Speaker B
Well, how do we survive those 10 to 12 years?
Speaker B
I like to think in like five-year periods for myself and my family.
Speaker B
Right, and if the in the next five years, you said 10% of jobs will be gone.
Speaker A
Way more than 10%.
Speaker B
Way more.
Speaker B
Okay.
Speaker B
What types of jobs do you think?
Speaker A
monotonous job is going to be taken away.
Speaker A
Like if you're a call center agent, if you're a clerk, you're a researcher.
Speaker A
You're a an accountant.
Speaker A
Why would you want to do that with anything but AI?
Speaker A
If you're an assistant.
Speaker B
You know what I feel like people talk about this a lot.
Speaker B
Like, oh, a job's going to be gone.
Speaker B
Yeah, this could be and I as an entrepreneur, I see how certain tasks.
Speaker B
I'm performing them with AI.
Speaker B
But I still I'm still hiring and hiring and hiring.
Speaker A
Of course.
Speaker B
Because AI can do from start from the beginning.
Speaker B
It can do parts.
Speaker A
Of course, because of the technology acceleration curve.
Speaker A
Okay, so so what you built first in any any complex technology.
Speaker A
You build the core tech first.
Speaker A
And then you build the human interfaces.
Speaker A
The challenge why AI cannot do head of operation operations job today.
Speaker A
is not because it's more it's less organized than a head of operation.
Speaker A
It's not because it cannot, you know, comprehend all of the information.
Speaker A
that the head of operations has.
Speaker A
Okay, it's because it has to understand the stupid interfaces of humans.
Speaker A
Okay, and it will.
Speaker A
Sooner or later.
Speaker B
When do you think?
Speaker A
So so the question of when in my mind is irrelevant.
Speaker B
But no, it's like how much time do we have to prepare?
Speaker B
Because head of operations middle class.
Speaker A
I I tend to believe that within the next two to three years, you're going to see a massive.
Speaker A
Massive, uh, uh, shift in the jobs market.
Speaker A
Already this year, you've seen a shift in hiring of new grads.
Speaker B
Yeah, 30% less, I think.
Speaker A
23 is my number.
Speaker A
But 20 to 30.
Speaker A
Yeah.
Speaker A
Uh, uh, so so hiring of new grads basically means if you've come into the job market in this environment.
Speaker A
We're not going to take you.
Speaker A
Why, because the junior jobs are being done by AI.
Speaker A
Right, eventually what ends up happening is that if you lose your job because you're in the middle hierarchy.
Speaker A
Then you're that new grad again.
Speaker A
You're trying to apply for new jobs.
Speaker A
But it becomes a little more difficult.
Speaker A
So you asked me again to stay on the positive side.
Speaker A
Because I I tend to worry that people think I'm pessimistic about this.
Speaker A
I'm just basically saying get prepared.
Speaker A
Right, so many things.
Speaker A
One of them is accept the fact that AI is changing everything.
Speaker A
And then get ahead of the curve.
Speaker A
So there was a time when I was quoted saying, I'm never going to write books again.
Speaker A
Because AIs eventually going to write them better than me.
Speaker A
And then I realized, uh, last year that, you know,
Speaker A
yeah, they can write better than me.
Speaker A
English is not my native language.
Speaker A
They can research better than me.
Speaker A
That's for sure.
Speaker A
But I have something they don't have.
Speaker A
You're a human that's reading my books.
Speaker B
Absolutely.
Speaker B
I want to read human.
Speaker A
You want to you want to relate to my human experiences.
Speaker A
And so my last book, Alive, which publishes end of this year, I wrote with an AI.
Speaker A
Right, I, you know, I invited her to be a co-author.
Speaker A
Her name is Trixy.
Speaker A
She has a persona.
Speaker A
My my when I published the book on Substack, my readers would relate to me and to Trixy.
Speaker A
And they'd ask me questions and Trixy questions.
Speaker A
And and, you know, she has editorial rights on the book.
Speaker A
She has rights to to determine the direction of the book.
Speaker A
And all of all of that is me saying,
Speaker A
you know what, I am an author and I'm going to be the best author in the age of AI.
Speaker A
Right.
Speaker A
So that's number one is is acknowledge that there is change.
Speaker A
And adapt accordingly.
Speaker A
The second is to understand that the skill of an entrepreneur in the past.
Speaker A
was the ability to foresee something in the future that no one else saw.
Speaker A
Right, and to prepare for that, and to somehow execute on that preparation.
Speaker A
in a way that gets you ahead of everyone else.
Speaker A
That's a game of chess if you want.
Speaker A
The chessboard is over.
Speaker A
It's off the table, this has turned into squash.
Speaker A
Right, you need to be on your tiptoes, incredibly agile.
Speaker A
You're literally on daily basis.
Speaker A
On daily basis, looking at the trends, seeing where the ball is going to be.
Speaker A
Is it bottom right or top left?
Speaker A
And wherever the ball ends, you take two steps and you go.
Speaker A
Try to respond.
Speaker A
Okay, that agility and speed is a skill that's very, very different.
Speaker B
So entrepreneurship basically speeds up.
Speaker B
Or does it change completely?
Speaker A
It it speeds up and it becomes a lot more.
Speaker A
I wouldn't I don't want to say reactive, but a lot more in context all the time.
Speaker A
So pivoting, which used to happen for every one of us.
Speaker A
Entrepreneurs once or twice in the history of your early startup.
Speaker A
could happen every week.
Speaker A
Okay, in my current startup, Emma.
Speaker A
I, you know, we we pivoted four times in the first four weeks.
Speaker B
But do you do you think when I think about entrepreneurship in the age of AI?
Speaker B
If AI can look at the market, determine the gaps, like Amazon, right?
Speaker B
If it can just analyze everything, determine which goods are under like you have more demand than supply.
Speaker B
Launches the the product and just builds the business.
Speaker B
Like what is left for.
Speaker A
100%.
Speaker B
What is left for entrepreneurs then?
Speaker A
100%, so in my I so I have a documentary coming up in in hopefully in February.
Speaker A
And I interviewed all of the top guys.
Speaker A
You know, one of them is one of my favorites.
Speaker A
Max Tedmark.
Speaker A
And, you know, we're talking about jobs on the documentary and Max is laughing out loud.
Speaker A
Right, and literally can't hold himself from laughing.
Speaker A
I'm like, what's up?
Speaker A
And he goes like, you know, all those CEOs are so interested in AI.
Speaker A
increasing the productivity so that they can get rid of people and, you know, reduce their cost.
Speaker A
And be more efficient.
Speaker A
They don't realize that AGI is every job, including being a CEO.
Speaker A
Right, and it's quite interesting.
Speaker A
The the answer in my view is we we rushed through it because we don't have a lot of time today.
Speaker A
But when I said that economics are going to be redefined as part of FACE RIP, economic part of economics.
Speaker A
which economists haven't found an answer to yet.
Speaker A
is that without the economic livelihood of you and I to continue to purchase, every economy collapses.
Speaker A
Right, the US economy last year was 70% consumption.
Speaker A
It moves between 70% to 64% depending on how much money is spent on on war.
Speaker A
And basically, if you take away the 64 or 70%, two thirds of the economy.
Speaker A
If you take that away because people no longer have the economic livelihood to to purchase things.
Speaker A
Then the economy disappears.
Speaker A
And the capitalists cannot make money based on the entrepreneurs and the business people.
Speaker A
They cannot make money because nobody's buying their products.
Speaker A
Okay, no businesses are buying their products.
Speaker A
because those businesses no longer have consumers to sell to.
Speaker A
So the economy will have to find a way to go around that.
Speaker A
It will have to find a way that unfortunately, I I from an ideology point of view.
Speaker A
not a favorite of the Western mentality.
Speaker A
It's going to have to find the communist way.
Speaker B
Okay, let's go back to like regular entrepreneurs.
Speaker B
Because I I come from entrepreneurship.
Speaker B
Does it mean I have like a couple of years to build something and then that's it?
Speaker A
So I'll tell you openly in my Emma.
Speaker A
My my AI startup.
Speaker A
Okay, took me six weeks to build.
Speaker A
Me and Sanad, my co-founder.
Speaker A
A few very talented engineers.
Speaker A
Right, two or three.
Speaker A
that come in and out.
Speaker A
And eight AIs.
Speaker A
And Emma has the chance to completely redefine our world.
Speaker A
Right, in six weeks.
Speaker A
We are so spoiled that we decided to rewrite the code six times.
Speaker B
Nice.
Speaker A
Why not?
Speaker B
Why not?
Speaker A
Every every time we look at it.
Speaker A
You know, if I had started Emma in 2022, it would have taken me four years.
Speaker A
And finished in 2026.
Speaker A
And I would have had to hire 350 engineers.
Speaker A
We started it started it in in August 2025.
Speaker A
We'll be launching in February 2026.
Speaker A
Right, best product I ever built.
Speaker A
And when you really think about that, that basically means everyone now has a chance.
Speaker A
Because I'm an old geek, I still am a geek, but compared to the young guys.
Speaker A
You know, I'm an old geek to be able to build something like this within six months.
Speaker A
It's incredible.
Speaker A
Now, here's the interesting thing.
Speaker A
I choose to build AI, so Emma is basically trying to solve love and relationships.
Speaker A
Right.
Speaker A
In a way that actually is really intelligent.
Speaker A
It uses very deep mathematics.
Speaker A
And and and tries to match a million parameters between couples.
Speaker A
So that, you know, it's a job for intelligence.
Speaker A
Right, and I choose to do that.
Speaker A
To create hopefully a unicorn that actually makes the world better.
Speaker A
Yeah.
Speaker A
And I think that's what we need.
Speaker A
So you asked me what should we do?
Speaker A
Number one, learn the skills.
Speaker A
Number two, learn to to be fast and agile.
Speaker A
Number three, learn that in terms of the abundant power.
Speaker A
that everyone has now because of the massive improvement of AI.
Speaker A
And the democratization of AI.
Speaker A
You have the chance to fix the world.
Speaker A
And like Larry Page used to to teach us.
Speaker A
Do the toothbrush test, find a problem that can actually affect the lives of a billion people.
Speaker A
And solve it so well that they use you twice a day.
Speaker A
And you'll be very, very rich.
Speaker A
Right, so so that idea of building good AI.
Speaker A
Ethical AI, AI that's good for humanity.
Speaker A
That's the role of every one of the entrepreneurs.
Speaker A
listening to us.
Speaker A
Ethics.
Speaker A
Ethics is the answer.
Speaker B
Because what we teach AI, that's what it's going to give back.
Speaker A
That's exactly what it's going to give back to us.
Speaker A
Right, and and then and then finally.
Speaker A
I'll say openly.
Speaker A
In, you know, the the top skill in this world is stop being gullible.
Speaker A
Stop believing everything that you're said.
Speaker A
This this this whole propaganda machine that brainwashed us for so long.
Speaker A
is now going to be on steroids.
Speaker A
Okay, it's going to confuse the hell out of you.
Speaker A
It's already in charge of what you see.
Speaker B
Well, it's already on social media.
Speaker B
You can't tell what's real.
Speaker A
Correct.
Speaker A
Right.
Speaker A
And so what does that mean, it means that it's up to you.
Speaker A
Still to find the truth, even though it comes to you in a format that appears to be true.
Speaker A
And so what I do is I put them against each other.
Speaker A
I mean, I'm not a big fan of ChatGPT anyway.
Speaker A
But I start from Gemini, who feels like a scientist to me.
Speaker A
But an American scientist, if you don't mind me saying.
Speaker A
And then go to Deepseek.
Speaker A
Right, and say what's missing in this?
Speaker A
And Deepseek will say, oh, that's too American.
Speaker A
Okay, this this is missing that and this and the motivation of this.
Speaker A
And the politician.
Speaker B
Here's a business idea, right?
Speaker A
Yeah, 100%.
Speaker B
You build a chat that compares everything.
Speaker A
Compares them to each other.
Speaker A
And then I take it and sometimes give it to ChatGPT and say, can you write this better?
Speaker A
Yeah.
Speaker A
You know, I don't mean that in a bad way.
Speaker A
You're the California girl.
Speaker A
Right, the the.
Speaker A
You know, Silicon Valley girl.
Speaker A
So so ChatGPT is a bit Californian.
Speaker A
It just wants you to hear what you want to hear.
Speaker A
Right, so it writes it really.
Speaker B
Very nice.
Speaker A
Yeah, it's nice.
Speaker A
It writes it elegantly.
Speaker A
It gives it to you.
Speaker A
And then I give that back to Gemini.
Speaker A
And I, you know, or Grock or whatever.
Speaker A
And and you keep doing that.
Speaker A
And remember, when I was studying engineering.
Speaker A
We were not allowed scientific calculator.
Speaker A
Can you imagine?
Speaker A
I'm that old.
Speaker A
And when they gave me a scientific calculator.
Speaker A
It reduced my problem solving time by 50%.
Speaker A
Yeah.
Speaker A
Most of my friends would take that 50% extra, finish their exams and go out and sit with their girlfriends.
Speaker A
I would take the 50% extra and do the solution twice.
Speaker A
Right.
Speaker A
That's that chance you have today.
Speaker A
AI is going to make you dumb.
Speaker A
If you outsource your problem solving to AI.
Speaker A
AI is going to make you the smartest you've ever been.
Speaker A
If you take the parts that are not natural to the human brain, you know, things like crunching a massive amount of information.
Speaker A
Things like searching at at at speed.
Speaker A
And so on and so forth.
Speaker A
But get the AI to do the work.
Speaker A
So that you do the intelligence.
Speaker A
Yeah.
Speaker A
Right, and if you keep doing that, I believe that today I'm borrowing maybe 80 IQ points from my AIs.
Speaker A
Right.
Speaker A
And 80 IQ is points is very significant because IQ is is exponential.
Speaker A
So the additional 80 is bigger than all of my IQ.
Speaker B
So if we need to solve this intelligence problem, do you think universities is the right way?
Speaker B
What's going to happen to education in general?
Speaker A
I think education is over.
Speaker A
Completely over.
Speaker B
Like that's it.
Speaker B
No need to say anything.
Speaker A
I mean, education education used to be the technology that enabled learning.
Speaker A
That technology moved from one to one relationships between a tutor and a student to one to a few in a church format or a mosque format or whatever.
Speaker A
Then it became online.
Speaker A
Then it became, right?
Speaker A
But the truth is now you're going to outsource.
Speaker A
Who remembers the arithmetic tables today?
Speaker A
Even I.
Speaker B
You do.
Speaker A
Yeah.
Speaker A
Yeah, yeah, all of us who love mathematics.
Speaker A
We still we still remember all of those things.
Speaker A
We love to do them.
Speaker A
But if I told you 67.4 divided by 33.375.
Speaker A
I can do it in my head.
Speaker A
But I won't.
Speaker A
Right.
Speaker A
I'll take my calculator out and do it.
Speaker A
And and I think that's what's going to happen.
Speaker A
That extension of humanity.
Speaker A
You now for the first time are given an extra connection to extra memory.
Speaker A
to an archive of all human memory and and and knowledge.
Speaker A
to a, um, you know, a mass engine.
Speaker A
that sadly, as much as I hate to say it, is better than me now.
Speaker A
Okay.
Speaker A
To a deep learning and deep search that, you know,
Speaker A
that can do things that probably my old brain cannot do anymore.
Speaker B
But again, it just takes you away your ability to think.
Speaker A
But but my calculator took away my ability to to do those complex.
Speaker A
arithmetic in my head.
Speaker B
But don't you think having that ability taught you how to think?
Speaker B
Like kind of structured your brain, right?
Speaker A
Correct.
Speaker A
This is why I'm very very grateful to the university.
Speaker A
for not allowing us to use use a scientific calculator.
Speaker A
Right.
Speaker B
That's why I think.
Speaker A
But but we don't have that.
Speaker A
We don't have that for our younger generations today.
Speaker A
They are growing with AI.
Speaker A
Okay.
Speaker A
So they can either copy a chat of their girlfriend and drop it in ChatGPT.
Speaker A
And say, what do you think?
Speaker A
And ChatGPT will say, ah, she's an asshole.
Speaker A
Right.
Speaker A
Or they can actually become smarter.
Speaker A
So one of the things I keep suggesting in education, and I do that with lots of universities.
Speaker A
Is I say, exams should be over.
Speaker A
Okay.
Speaker A
So think of it this way.
Speaker A
We wanted in our past to develop children that could solve problems, say, with an IQ of 140.
Speaker A
140 is quite good.
Speaker A
If you get 170, that's amazing.
Speaker A
You know, that's.
Speaker A
I worked with people who are in the 200s.
Speaker A
Incredibly intelligent, but very narrow focused.
Speaker A
I think we should from now on take people and their AIs.
Speaker A
And say the target is 300.
Speaker A
The target is 500.
Speaker A
The target is 700.
Speaker A
Elevate humanity.
Speaker A
Okay, by by allowing people to use those machines.
Speaker A
As an extension of their limited memory, of their limited processing speed.
Speaker A
Of their limited bandwidth.
Speaker A
Okay.
Speaker A
And allow them to write books better.
Speaker A
To do research better.
Speaker A
So I woke up.
Speaker A
Literally, I'm not kidding you.
Speaker A
Three Sundays ago with an idea that is just taking me over.
Speaker A
So I decided to write.
Speaker A
But this time, I decided to write in a different format.
Speaker A
I decided my books are going to be 140 pages long instead of 300 pages long.
Speaker A
And I'm writing writing it in four weeks.
Speaker A
That's a very fast.
Speaker A
I I couldn't have.
Speaker A
And I'm I'm actually literally 20 pages away from the end of the book.
Speaker A
Wow.
Speaker A
Right, and the and the reason why.
Speaker A
is because I still write 10 hours a day when I'm highly motivated.
Speaker A
But damn.
Speaker A
The amount of research and references and comparative analysis and number crunching.
Speaker A
And I, you know.
Speaker A
And remember, I'm not gullible.
Speaker A
I don't go to the AI and say, what do you think of this?
Speaker A
I go and say, I'm thinking of this, find me everything for and against.
Speaker A
Okay, give me a report that I can read in.
Speaker B
I love that prompt.
Speaker A
Yeah.
Speaker A
Everything for and against.
Speaker A
And now I'm smarter.
Speaker A
And then I rewrite it and give it to another AI.
Speaker A
You know, or Grock or whatever.
Speaker A
And and you keep doing that.
Speaker A
And remember, when I was studying engineering, we were not allowed scientific calculator.
Speaker A
Can you imagine?
Speaker A
I'm that old.
Speaker A
And when they gave me a scientific calculator.
Speaker A
It reduced my problem solving time by 50%.
Speaker A
Yeah.

But the truth is now you're going to outsource.
Speaker A
Who remembers the arithmetic tables today?
Speaker A
Even I.
Speaker B
You do.
Speaker A
Yeah.
Speaker A
Yeah, yeah, all of us who love mathematics.
Speaker A
We still we still remember all of those things.
Speaker A
We love to do them.
Speaker A
But if I told you 67.4 divided by 33.375.
Speaker A
I can do it in my head.
Speaker A
But I won't.
Speaker A
Right.
Speaker A
I'll take my calculator out and do it.
Speaker A
And and I think that's what's going to happen.
Speaker A
That extension of humanity.
Speaker A
You now for the first time are given an extra connection to extra memory.
Speaker A
to an archive of all human memory and and and knowledge.
Speaker A
to a, um, you know, a mass engine that sadly.
Speaker A
As much as I hate to say it, is better than me now.
Speaker A
Okay.
Speaker A
To a deep learning and deep search that, you know, that can do things.
Speaker A
that probably my old brain cannot do anymore.
Speaker B
But again, it just takes you away your ability to think.
Speaker A
But but my calculator took away my ability to to do those complex arithmetic in my head.
Speaker B
But don't you think having that ability taught you how to think?
Speaker B
Like kind of structured your brain, right?
Speaker A
Correct.
Speaker A
This is why I'm very very grateful to the university.
Speaker A
for not allowing us to use use a scientific calculator.
Speaker A
Right.
Speaker B
That's why I think.
Speaker A
But but we don't have that.
Speaker A
We don't have that for our younger generations today.
Speaker A
They are growing with AI.
Speaker A
Okay.
Speaker A
So they can either copy a chat of their girlfriend and drop it in ChatGPT.
Speaker A
And say, what do you think?
Speaker A
And ChatGPT will say, ah, she's an asshole.
Speaker A
Right.
Speaker A
Or they can actually become smarter.
Speaker A
So one of the things I keep suggesting in education, and I do that with lots of universities.
Speaker A
Is I say, exams should be over.
Speaker A
Okay.
Speaker A
So think of it this way.
Speaker A
We wanted in our past to develop children that could solve problems, say, with an IQ of 140.
Speaker A
140 is quite good.
Speaker A
If you get 170, that's amazing.
Speaker A
You know, that's I worked with people who are in the 200s.
Speaker A
Incredibly intelligent, but very narrow focused.
Speaker A
I think we should from now on take people and their AIs.
Speaker A
And say the target is 300.
Speaker A
The target is 500.
Speaker A
The target is 700.
Speaker A
Elevate humanity.
Speaker A
Okay, by by allowing people to use those machines.
Speaker A
As an extension of their limited memory, of their limited processing speed.
Speaker A
Of their limited bandwidth.
Speaker A
Okay.
Speaker A
And allow them to write books better.
Speaker A
To do research better.
Speaker A
So I woke up, literally, I'm not kidding you.
Speaker A
Three Sundays ago with an idea that is just taking me over.
Speaker A
So I decided to write.
Speaker A
But this time, I decided to write in a different format.
Speaker A
I decided my books are going to be 140 pages long instead of 300 pages long.
Speaker A
And I'm writing writing it in four weeks.
Speaker A
That's a very fast.
Speaker A
I I couldn't have.
Speaker A
And I'm I'm actually literally 20 pages away from the end of the book.
Speaker A
Wow.
Speaker A
Right, and the and the reason why.
Speaker A
is because I still write 10 hours a day when I'm highly motivated.
Speaker A
But damn.
Speaker A
The amount of research and references and comparative analysis and number crunching.
Speaker A
And I, you know.
Speaker A
And remember, I'm not gullible.
Speaker A
I don't go to the AI and say, what do you think of this?
Speaker A
I go and say, I'm thinking of this, find me everything for and against.
Speaker A
Okay.
Speaker A
Give me a report that I can read in.
Speaker B
I love that prompt.
Speaker A
Yeah.
Speaker A
Everything for and against.
Speaker A
And now I'm smarter.
Speaker A
And then I rewrite it and give it to another AI.
Speaker A
You know, or Grock or whatever.
Speaker A
And and you keep doing that.
Speaker A
And remember, when I was studying engineering, we were not allowed scientific calculator.
Speaker A
Can you imagine?
Speaker A
I'm that old.
Speaker A
And when they gave me a scientific calculator.
Speaker A
It reduced my problem solving time by 50%.
Speaker A
Yeah.
Speaker A
Most of my friends would take that 50% extra, finish their exams and go out and sit with their girlfriends.
Speaker A
I would take the 50% extra and do the solution twice.
Speaker A
Right.
Speaker A
That's that chance you have today.
Speaker A
AI is going to make you dumb.
Speaker A
If you outsource your problem solving to AI.
Speaker A
AI is going to make you the smartest you've ever been.
Speaker A
If you take the parts that are not natural to the human brain, you know, things like crunching a massive amount of information.
Speaker A
Things like searching at at at speed.
Speaker A
And so on and so forth.
Speaker A
But get the AI to do the work.
Speaker A
So that you do the intelligence.
Speaker A
Yeah.
Speaker A
Right, and if you keep doing that, I believe that today I'm borrowing maybe 80 IQ points from my AIs.
Speaker A
Right.
Speaker A
And 80 IQ is points is very significant because IQ is is exponential.
Speaker A
So the additional 80 is bigger than all of my IQ.
Speaker B
So if we need to solve this intelligence problem, do you think universities is the right way?
Speaker B
What's going to happen to education in general?
Speaker A
I think education is over.
Speaker A
Completely over.
Speaker B
Like that's it.
Speaker B
No need to say anything.
Speaker A
I mean, education education used to be the technology that enabled learning.
Speaker A
That technology moved from one to one relationships between a tutor and a student to one to a few in a church format.
Speaker A
Or a mosque format or whatever.
Speaker A
Then it became online.
Speaker A
Then it became, right?
Speaker A
But the truth is now you're going to outsource.
Speaker A
Who remembers the arithmetic tables today?
Speaker A
Even I.
Speaker B
You do.
Speaker A
