WHY MONEY WON'T MATTER BY 2036
Transcript
Why money won't matter in 2036. Well, what do you want money for? You want money for goods and services. Right? You want money for obviously food, housing, transport, entertainment. Um, well, if that is so abundance that there's more that the robots and AI are providing more goods and services than any human could possibly consume, what do you need money for in that case? But you're you're creating these robots. Are you selling these robots? Are you selling humanoid robots or are you producing goods and services with the humanoid robots that you control? I think it would probably be an exercise in vanity for for me to think that I would be controlling the super genius AI that is vastly smarter than me.

He challenges the traditional drive for profit, suggesting a future where survival is automated and scarcity is a thing of the past. It’s a bold take on how technology might rewrite the rules of human existence. #ElonMusk #FutureTech #AI #PostScarcity #ArtificialIntelligence
