I have a ? for Elon. If AI+Optimus make us 100x more productive, why we need more humans?

I’m not sure a declining birth rate is quite the disaster he talks about.
What y’all think?

We won’t be more productive. Humans will be inside watching tv and looking at their phones.

Because if someone like me is 100x more productive, I'll be about the average productive person in America.

It’s all about which group’s birthrate is declining. The wrong groups are reproducing the most.

No matter how far AI takes us you can still hit the jackpot with a Hollywood kid.

I welcome 10 million Optimus robots, and hope they hit their goals. Take away the jobs no one wants to work. Well, except of course, they won't be able to replace a plumber, electrician, etc. -- at least not for many years.

because human semen is a secret all-purpose magical elixir and if people have a lot more free time there will be lots more beating off

Best case is Wall-e.
Worst case involves dystopian depopulation schemes.
Or we could just not introduce into the broader society that will be intellectually superior to us by orders of magnitude while completely upending the entire labor market until we have a plan to have it not cause total chaos.

This makes sense

I believe his point is that abundance will render Social Security unnecessary.
Housing, energy, food, health care will be infinitely better managed thus bringing costs for these, especially healthcare, down to near-zero.
I believe in a Garden Earth, but still my test question is always: Who get to eat in Cinderella's Castle? How is that proportioned daily?

You have a good point. Maybe it's not a problem.

Won’t matter when the aliens come and either enslave us all, or teach us about their cool technology.
