0:00.0 | Yeah, I mean, you see this and you talk about this in other arenas or other industries to kind of like get a not just be centered on AI for a second. |
0:08.7 | Like you talk about body shop automation and how, you know, a lot of that is automated and you've got robots, you know, and soon self-replicating robots, you know, and soon self-replicating robots, making, you know, and soon self-replicating, well, there are like self-replicating robots |
0:22.1 | making, you know, crucial parts of different cars or whatever. But there's still humans that |
0:28.8 | oversee and manage that process, right? And there is, you know, one of those, you know, |
0:35.1 | delicate contradictions, you know, in capitalism is that as it develops and as |
0:42.0 | technology develops, the role of human labor changes, right? It's not as if it stays the same |

1:43.2 | the capitalist world is a product that doesn't require producers. |
1:48.5 | You know what I mean? Like, and I think you kind of, you know, you put that in the, in the book so |
1:53.0 | well that, you know, this is, this is, you see it in what they say and in how they articulate |
1:59.6 | their dreams for the future, |
2:01.5 | that they pursue, capitalists pursue profit as if money can just and eventually will double |
2:08.2 | itself and they can kind of step aside. |
