Qasar Younis: evaluation

Transcript context

…I've become a huge... I have a Tesla and I've just used self-driving all the time now. Just like a few months ago it got very good and it used to be nerve-wracking and now it's like, "Wow, this is much better than I am." And you're not doing driving as a job. Imagine if you're a commercial truck driver or you work in a mine or you work... There, a little bit of intelligence, a helping hand in that very dangerous task, it's incredible. And I think there's something about the human brain where when you bring up that reality of self-driving trucks, immediately people are like, "Well, what about the trucking jobs?" Now, needless to say, we don't have enough people who want to do that job. So leave that fact to the side. I think the fact that you really focus on is the fact that people die from trucking accidents. We can't throw out the baby with the bathwater. And so I think I implore everybody who thinks about AI broadly and physical AI specifically to always recognize that your monkey brain is programmed because of hundreds of thousands of years of living out in the wild and being in the cave that when you hear the rustle in the bush, that is you think it's a snake because that's what our ancestors were programmed. So now when something new enters our psyche, your view isn't, well, if mines became autonomous, well, wouldn't that lose jobs? It's like, those are awful jobs that people die in. And the best evidence is that people don't want to work in them. That's the best evidence. Nobody's clamoring to go work in a mine in a remote area. And so intelligence can help make that reality much, much better. People are seeing AI advance in all these different ways on the software side and they see all these models being released. It's driving 100% of people's code now. What's really cool about you is you see the hardware side of this, and I think one of the biggest changes to our lives will probably be robots walking around doing things for us. Do you have a sense of just how close we are just robots around us day-to-day?…
