Population Collapse Meets The AGI Singularity · Radio Baloney - The Richie Baloney Show!

• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Elon Musk posted this, population collapse is a massive crisis. Now.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: For decades, it was just the Malthusians talking about overpopulation
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: and we're going to run out of food, and just
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: that's not the problem. Firstly, the food thing did not
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: end up being a problem, because it turned out that
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: we have no problem making enough food for everybody, we
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: have no problem in massively reducing global poverty. Those things
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: have all been and today are still getting better and
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: better and better. And it turns out that the real problem,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: the real problem, the real crisis for the future, is
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: birth rates almost everywhere in the world, some places not,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: though we'll get to that. Tesla owners Silicon Valley posted this,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: birth rates are plummeting in a lot of countries. Population
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: collapse is the greatest threat to civilization. Change needs to
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: happen to save humanity. So let's just take a look
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: at what he's posted here. You have at two point
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: one children per couple per family is replacement level. So
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: that's just to stay the same for population, just to
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: stay the same. So two point one percent is replacement level.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: And let's see, we've got friends the the EU in general,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: at Germany, Finland, Italy, Spain. As you can see, these
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: are dipping way below replacement level. So what does that mean. Well,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, if you just draw it out to its
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: logical conclusion, when people are not having enough children to
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: replace the population, the population gets smaller and eventually it's gone.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Eventually you get to that last couple where you know
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: she really you know, she's determined to be a realtor
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: and he never wants to grow up, and then that's
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: just that gone. Right. But I think in Europe, what
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: you're looking at, what you're going to be look looking at,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: is it's the indigenous population. So the indigenous French, the
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: indigenous Germans, the indigenous Fins, the indigenous Italians and Spaniards,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: those population they're actually getting some population growth growth from
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: other from immigrant populations. But those the French themselves, the Germans,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: the Finns, they are shrinking. They're becoming a smaller part
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: year by year, day day by day, a smaller part
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: of their the population of their country, and eventually they
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: just it won't France won't be France, France will be Algeria, Morocco,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Germany will be Turkey. Right, Finland will be at Somalia,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: I think, right, it's just if you're not replacing yourself,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: you're not replacing the culture, you're not replacing your civilization.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Eventually it will just be something else, which I think
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: is very sad. I would like to see France be France.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Many would argue France isn't France anymore. I've heard a
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: lot of people say that they've gone to Paris, and
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Paris isn't Paris anymore, It's something else. I've got a
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: bunch of a bunch of data here, the median age
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: of the population on every continent. So let's see what
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: we have. Let's make this a little bigger. There we go,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: all right. Median age in North America is thirty five.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: That is brought down by Mexico, where the median age
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: is twenty eight point three, USA thirty eight point one,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Canada forty two point two. So Canada is really aging
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: in a hurry and people are not having enough children.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Here South America, the median age is thirty one. You've
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: got Belize and Guatemala are the youngest countries with the
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: median age of twenty two point seven. See this means poor.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: So the wealthier the country is, the older. The median
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: age generally the poorer countries have the youngest median ages.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: You can see Europe median ages forty two, but the
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: same as Canada, Eurasia thirty one. Now within this you've
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: got Russia, which has got a population collapse happening on
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: its own. But you've also got the Middle East in here,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: which people tend to have a lot of children. Although
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: although Tihran is now just gone, or at Iran has
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: just gone below replacement level Afghanistan eighteen point eight. Yeah, it's,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: you know, really the worst places have the youngest median ages,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: the continents of Africa, although North Africa it's also different there.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: But that's just all of it here. Australia thirty three,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Oceania thirty three, Japan forty seven point three. Japan. We've
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: all heard a lot about Japan's demographic problems, and they're
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: very real, very real. Let's see, Europe has the highest
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: proportion of seniors eighteen percent. North America fifteen percent, she
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: out of twelve percent, Africa three percent, three percent, So
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: they are under fifteen years of age is forty one
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: percent over sixty five three percent, Europe sixteen percent under
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: fifteen years of age, over sixty five eighteen percent. So
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: what you have here is a population that economically won't
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: be able to sustain itself. Right, So you're going to
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: have fewer and fewer young people to take care of
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: the old people, and this is going to be a
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: very big problem. Now we do have to factor in
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: as well that you know, we're approaching the technological AI singularity.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: We don't know how that's going to play into all
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: of this, but it's definitely going to have an effect.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: So from Neil Ferguson, global population crash isn't sci fi anymore.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: We used to worry about the planet getting too crowded,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: but there are plenty of downsides to a shrinking humanity
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: as well. Well, it's not going to get too crowded,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: and the concerns around that ended up being false. Anyway.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: We used to imagine humanity populating the universe in Isaac
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Asimov's Foundation from nineteen fifty two his series of novels,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Mankind had established a vast multiplanetary empire by the year
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: forty seven thousand, but that seems like a long way away.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: There were nearly twenty five million inhabited planets in the
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: galaxy Asimov wrote the population of Trantor, that's a silly
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: name for a city. I have to say Trantor, the
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: imperial capital was well in excess of forty billions. Forty billions.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: When Asimov was born in nineteen twenty, the global population
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: was around one point nine billion, So global population one
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: point nine billion nineteen twenty. When he published Foundation, it
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: was two point sixty four billion. By the time of
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: his death in nineteen ninety two, it was five point
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: five billion, nearly three times what it had been at
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: his birth. Considering that there had been a mere five
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: hundred million humans when Christopher Columbus landed on the New World.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: The proliferation of species Homo sapiens in the modern era
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: had been an astonishing feat. So it's understandable, you know
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: why somebody would have been a Malthusian, somebody who thought
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: there was too many people. This was, you know, we're
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: going to run out of food, We're going to run
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: out of resources, run out of oil, everything. It was
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: understandable because population did go through the roof with the
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Industrial Revolution, with you know, capitalism. Uh, these are these
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: were very good things. These were huge advances, huge positive
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: advances for humanity and humanity flourished five hundred million when
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Christopher Columbus landed on the New World. Just think about that. Wow?
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: All right, Today it is estimated to be more than
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: eight billion the population in its most recent projections, median
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: estimate is that the global population will reach ten point
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: four billion by the mid twenty eighties, with an upper
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: bound of more than twelve billion by the end of
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: the century. But will it? But will it? Neil Ferguson writes,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Yet that seems a rather low probability scenario. The European
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: Commission's Center of Expertise on Population and Migration projects that
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: the global population will peak at nine point eight billion
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: in the twenty seventies. According to the Institute for Health
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Metrics and Evaluation, an independent research organization, it will peak
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: at a lower level and earlier still, at nine point
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: seven billion in twenty sixty four. And the keyword there
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: is peak, because after that it goes down, right. It
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: is simply because all over the world the total fertility rate,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: the number of live children the average woman bears in
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: her lifetime, has been falling since the nineteen seventies. In
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: one country after another, it has dropped under the two
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: point one threshold the replacement rate below which the population
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: is bound to decline. Can't do anything else. This fertility
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: slump is in many ways the most remarkable trend of
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: our era. It is not only Elon Musk who worries
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: that population collapses potentially the greatest risk to the future
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: of civilization. I don't think he says potentially. I think
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: that he says that it just straight up is. To
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: quote the UNPD, more than half of the projected increase
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: in the global population between twenty twenty two and twenty
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: fifty is expected to be concentrated in just eight countries,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which is a basket case, Egypt, Ethiopia, India, Nigeria, Pakistan,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: the Philippines, and the United Republic of Tanzania. Let's see.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: So you can see here the top blue one here,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: that's the Democratic Republic of Congo. So I don't know
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: if you're going to have armies of child soldiers into
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: your country any time soon, but maybe the twenty countries
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: with the lowest fertility rates in twenty twenty four. Let's
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: get back to the chat for a second before we
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: go on with this. Hold on, let's see JDL says
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: China and India may have to go to war to
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: get rid of the extra men. Well, I think India
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: also has more men than women. Right, In fact, let's
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: check that out. Let's do fat check. Yes, India has
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: a significant gender imbalance, very good, JDL, with more males
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: than females in the population. The twenty eleven census revealed
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: a ratio of nine hundred and forty women for every
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: one thousand men and nine hundred and eighteen girls for
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: every one thousand boys. This imbalance is attributed to factors
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: like sunpress difference, sex selective abortions, and cultural devaluation of women.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: So that is a See, it's a very bad thing.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: If you want to say, if you want to know
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: why you're your your society is screwed up while your
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: country is screwed up. I mean, this is one of
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: the reasons, right, you don't want a bunch of men,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: hopeless men, men who have no chance of ever finding
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: a mate. This is bad for men. Gender imbalances are bad.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: So let's see twenty countries with the lowest fertility rates
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four. Taiwan one point one one, South
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: Korea one point one two, Singapore one point one seven,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: Ukraine one point two to two. Ukraine has lost maybe
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: like a million men since twenty twenty two, and they
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: seem determined. Zelenski seems determined to sacrifice the young men.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: They haven't been drafting the eighteen to twenty fives, but
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: they're under a lot of pressure from the EU. He's
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: under a lot of pressure from the EU to do it.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: It seems inevitable they're going to have to do that.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: They're running out of men, and then Ukraine is just
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: going to cease to exist. It won't be Ukraine anymore,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: you know. I'm sure if the EU lets them in, it'll,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: you know, it'll be basically Syria within a decade. Hong
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Kong one point two four, Macau one point two four, Moldova,
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Puerto Rico one point two six. Look at this Italy,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, these are appalling numbers. Greece, I mean, Greece,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: what will grease be? Greece will not be anything. Will
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: Greece just be part of the global you know, democratic
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Republic of Congo of the future. I don't know. I mean,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: people are got to come from somewhere, right, Look at this,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: These are just all cultures that you can say they're dying,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: and they're going to die, and they're going to disappear
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: because they just simply refuse to replace themselves, and they
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: will be replaced, but their countries won't be their countries anymore.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Although although we still haven't touched on AI yet, and
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: that could we don't know we I don't think we
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: can even guess exactly what's going to happen with that,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: because AI, when you have an artificial general intelligence, it's
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: just going to be that much smarter than us. Let's
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: move on the aging of Japan. So let's see nineteen
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: forty age zero to fourteen. You can see what that's
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: about thirty six percent of the population age fifteen to
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: sixty four, so working age, that's a huge part of
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: the population. That's what ten twenty thirty, forty fifty, that's
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: about sixty percent of the population age sixty plus, What
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: about five but five percent that's nineteen forty age fifteen
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: to sixty four. You see, these are the working people,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: These are the producers, These are the people that make
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: the country work and that make it a country. So
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: you can see that that is dropping off drastically already.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: By twenty sixty, it's just a it's it's less than
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: nine percent working age, and then everybody else is uh
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: is retired. How does that work exactly? How do you
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: still have a country? Right? I mean you can have
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: a country. You can import people from place with high
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: birth rates, but it's not Japan anymore. And I think
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: this is really sad, right, I think these are really
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: sad things. Right if you just lose all of this culture,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: all of the rich tapestry that makes up Earth's history,
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: you know, like I don't want like Greece, like that's
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: something that should be preserved, Like French culture should be preserved,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Canadian culture, American culture, These things should all be preserved.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: We shouldn't just let them disappear. And for what, like
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: what is the benefit exactly? And empty so you can
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: live in empty life. Oh, estimated prevalence of dementia. That's
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: gonna go over, That's gonna be great. I'm sure like
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: the fifteen young people in Japan in you know, twenty
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: fifty are gonna love dealing with that. Let's take a
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: look at immigration now, So is that the only way
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: from welcome to Kanakistan? I feel like he probably doesn't
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: feel it's the way, and you know what, I tend
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: to agree with him. Here's immigration in Canada nineteen fifty
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: two to twenty twenty three. So here, you know, you
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: have some ups and some downs in the immigration because
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: I guess they would not responsible governments would adjust it
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: as needed. If it was too much, they'd bring it down.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: If it was not enough, they'd bring it up a
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: little bit. And then meet Justin Trudeau right through the roof.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: And of course this is being carried on by Mark Carty.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: So Canada has taken in over eight hundred thousand immigrants
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: in the first three months, in the first four months
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: of the year, so that's way more than Trudeau. People
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: actually voted for that, but we are not at replacement.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: But is the only option really to just import all
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: of like pun the Punjab region of India. Is that
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: the only solution, That's the only way to go, because
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: even right now with our low fertility rates in Canada,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: we can't actually do anything with this extra population. It
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: actually doesn't make any sense. It only makes sense in
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: the shallowest sense of artificially increasing GDP. Now GDP per
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: capita has gone off a cliff in Canada. They don't
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: care about that. They just care about and Mark carneiet Truder,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: they just care about that one GDP. And we have
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: to consider we have to consider that we're approaching very soon.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: Most of the experts think, you know, within a decade,
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: probably earlier, maybe three four five years. This AI technological singularity.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: When we create an artificial general intelligence that can do
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: twenty thousand years of human thinking in an afternoon, it's
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: going to answer questions that we didn't know we're questions
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: in the first place. It's going to be a lot
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: smarter than humans. Right, We're going to have technological breakthroughs.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is very will we do I know
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: for certain, Well, it just seems like it's an obvious product.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: If you have a super intelligence, it's going to be
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: very creative. It's going to be able to solve problems,
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: engineering problems, science problems, probably you know, redefine the way
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: that we look at the universe, redefine physics. So it
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: is going to change the world. It's going to change technology.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: It's going to improve technology and engineering. So are we
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: moving towards a you know, a no scarcity world where
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: just everything where the engineering with the science is so
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: good that everything is just so cheap, it's basically free.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but I know that there's going to
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: be massive advances in things like robotics. Is that the
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: sort of thing that could help a country like Japan? Right,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: Maybe they don't need Maybe they're not going to need
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: as big as of a population. Maybe they're only going
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: to need a population that's ten percent of what they
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: are now, right, and then they can offer massive incentives
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: for the people that are there to have children. Technology
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: changes the world. It's changed the world, it's changed humanity.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: There's no reason to think it's not going to have
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: a massive impact moving forward when we're all but certain
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: to have a massive leap in technology. Even if humans
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: can't understand the science of the engineering, right, the AI will,
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: and it'll tell us what to do. Why this leading
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: AI CEO is war the tech that tech could cause
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: mass unemployment. The chief executive of one of the world's
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: leading artificial intelligence labs is warning that the technology could
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: cause a dramatic spike in unemployment in the very near future.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: He says policymakers and corporate leaders aren't ready for it.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: Could you please talk to the Canadian government see this.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: Why are we doing this when this is happening? What's
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: he say? Cause a dramatic spike in unemployment? What? Why
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: are we doing this? That doesn't seem to be very responsible,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: That doesn't seem to be very prudent. Are these people?
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Is Mark Carney unaware of what's happening? It seems to
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: be prudent to maybe hold your horses, especially since we
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: can't absor we don't have jobs for the giant spike
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: in immigration now anyway, it doesn't matter at this point.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: It makes me feel like there's something else going on.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: What kind of globalisty thing going on? Amoday believes that
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: the AI tools that Anthropic and other companies are racing
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: to build could eliminate half half of entry level white
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: collar jobs and spike unemployment to as much as twenty
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: percent in the next one to five years. He told
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Axios on Wednesday, Canadian government, are you paying attention? Are
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: you paying attention? Maybe this is ill advised. Earlier this year,
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: a World Economic Forum survey showed that forty one percent
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: of employers plan to downsize their workforce because of AI
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: automation by twenty thirty. So it's going to cause unemployment.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: But it could also it could also allow us to
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: have an advanced technological civilization with fewer people and not
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: have to just you know, say, well, Europe's gone, Canada's gone,
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: all those culture are gone, Chinese culture is gone, Korean
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: culture's gone, Japanese culture's gone. Everyone's culture is gone. I
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: don't know that. It seems like there's an opportunity. There's
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: probably an opportunity. I mean until skynet terminates as all,
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: of course, but we might as well have a good
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: time till then. These jobs will fall first as AI
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: takes over the workplace. So this is from Forbes. Artificial
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: intelligence is expected to fundamentally transform the global workforce by
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: twenty to fifty, according to reports from McKinsey and the
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: World Economic Forum. Estimate suggests that up to sixty percent
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: of current jobs will require significant adaptation due to AI
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: automation and intelligent systems will become an integral part of
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: the workplace. Let's see. McKinsey report projects that by twenty thirty,
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: thirty percent of current US jobs could be automated. Goldman
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: Sachs pritic set up to fifty percent of jobs could
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: be fully automated by twenty forty five, driven by generative
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: AI and robotics. The thing is, we don't know what
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: we're gonna get yet with the AID. Even the people
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: making the AI don't really understand it. They say that themselves.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: It's doing things they don't even get. We don't know
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: what the power of it is going to be. I mean,
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: will we end up with a post scarcity world where
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: nobody really has to do anything it's entirely possible. And
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: what impact will that have on people? Probably bad? Probably
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: super bad. So here we are between the teeth of
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: these two things. Population collapse where there will be too
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: few people to take care of the elderly unless you
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: import people from high fertility areas. But then you will
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: just really cease to exist. Your culture will just go.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: It'll just be gone, like France won't be France, It'll
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: just be a piece of land. And then you've got AI.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: And what will AI do well? AI may make it
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: possible to have smaller, much smaller populations and still have
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: a totally functioning world through automation and through AI and
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: AI managers. Will we kind of lose what makes us
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: human in that? Will we all just go insane? I
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: don't know, and of course you would have to find
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: a way to insist that people reproduce. Yeah, so I
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: don't know. We're kind of between the teeth of these
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: two things. And we may not need immigration with the
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: AI singularity, we may be able to just do everything
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: without bringing millions of people. But for some reason, I
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: feel like the Mark Kearney's and the Trudeaus of the world,
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: and every leader in Europe, in Western Europe anyway, is
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: going to keep insisting on bringing in lots of people
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: that aren't necessary. So people are unpredictable. AI is going
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: to be unpredictable. The only predictable thing is that we
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: don't know what the fuck is gonna happen anyway. That's
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: all I'm gonna say about that. Please like, share, and subscribe.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: Subscribing really helps me out. I thank you for that.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: I will see you next time.
