WEBVTT

00:00:00.440 --> 00:00:03.477
With Tesla, we wanted to make
electric cars compelling

00:00:03.560 --> 00:00:05.637
and affordable. That was the goal.

00:00:05.720 --> 00:00:08.677
Um The uh you know, with respect to

00:00:08.760 --> 00:00:13.717
humanoid robotics, there are no useful
humanoid robotic robots at this point.

00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:17.437
Um there are sort of gimmicks, but there
are not there are no actually useful

00:00:17.520 --> 00:00:21.917
humanoid robots. Um and I think Tesla's
going to make the first actually useful

00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:25.637
humanoid robots.
Um and this will be quite a revolution

00:00:25.720 --> 00:00:29.957
and I think something that will that
everyone will want. Uh because I was

00:00:30.040 --> 00:00:34.997
thinking like who who wouldn't want
their own personal C-3PO R2-D2? Oh,

00:00:35.080 --> 00:00:38.517
yeah. Of course. Everyone would want one.

00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:42.397
Right? And and then there
would be many in industry

00:00:42.480 --> 00:00:46.317
uh providing products and services. This
is why I say that humanoid robots will

00:00:46.400 --> 00:00:49.477
be the biggest industry
or the biggest product ever.

00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:52.277
Um bigger than cell
phones or anything else

00:00:52.360 --> 00:00:54.877
because everyone's going to want one.

00:00:54.960 --> 00:00:58.877
And uh or maybe more than more than
one and there'll be many in industry.

00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:04.077
Um I just want R2-D2 in C-3PO's body.

00:01:04.160 --> 00:01:07.877
Yeah. Very good. >> Um well,
to I mean a humanoid robot would

00:01:07.960 --> 00:01:10.237
be better than R2-D2 and C-3PO combined.

00:01:10.320 --> 00:01:14.037
Yeah. Times 10. Yeah. So, the

00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:15.877
it And and you know, people often talk

00:01:15.960 --> 00:01:21.437
about uh sort of eliminating poverty
and that kind of thing, but really the

00:01:21.520 --> 00:01:26.357
the how long have they been talking
about that? Um there's lots of talk uh

00:01:26.440 --> 00:01:27.997
you know, there's lots of NGOs sort of

00:01:28.080 --> 00:01:33.437
trying to do these things,
but but really not succeeding. Um and and

00:01:33.520 --> 00:01:36.997
you know, the evidence
speaks for itself. Uh but

00:01:37.080 --> 00:01:41.717
but but AI and humanoid robots
will actually eliminate poverty.

00:01:41.800 --> 00:01:44.197
And Tesla won't be the only one that
makes them. I think Tesla will pioneer

00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:47.877
this, but there will be be many other
companies that make humanoid robots. But

00:01:47.960 --> 00:01:52.717
there there is only basically one way
to uh make everyone wealthy and that is AI

00:01:52.800 --> 00:01:55.837
and robotics. If you say
like in the long term, where

00:01:55.920 --> 00:02:00.357
will things end up? Long term,
I don't know what long term is. Maybe it's

00:02:00.440 --> 00:02:04.757
10, 20 years, something like that.
For me, that's long term. Um

00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:07.397
my prediction is that
work will be optional.

00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:11.077
Optional? Optional. Um

00:02:11.160 --> 00:02:14.877
so We'll take that. Yeah.

00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:19.637
I mean, it it'll be like uh playing sports
or video game or something like that. Um

00:02:19.720 --> 00:02:24.117
if you want to work, uh you know, in the
same way like you can you can go to the

00:02:24.200 --> 00:02:27.957
store and just buy some
vegetables or you could grow

00:02:28.040 --> 00:02:31.957
vegetables in your backyard. It's
much harder to grow vegetables in your

00:02:32.040 --> 00:02:34.957
backyard, but some people still do
it because they like growing growing

00:02:35.040 --> 00:02:39.677
vegetables. Um that will be
what work is like, optional.

00:02:39.760 --> 00:02:43.077
Um and between now and then there's
actually a lot of work to get to that

00:02:43.160 --> 00:02:45.357
point. >> Mhm. Um

00:02:45.440 --> 00:02:50.277
I always recommend people read read Iain
Banks uh Culture books to get a sense

00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:56.237
for what a a probable
positive AI future is like.

00:02:56.320 --> 00:03:01.157
Um And interestingly,
in those books, money is no longer

00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:05.797
doesn't exist. It's kind of interesting.
And I I my guess is

00:03:05.880 --> 00:03:09.317
and and if you go out long enough,
assuming there's a continued improvement

00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:13.237
in AI and robotics,
which this seems likely,

00:03:13.320 --> 00:03:15.877
the money will will will stop being

00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:18.557
relevant at some point in the future.

00:03:18.640 --> 00:03:24.237
Um now there will still be constraints
on power like in it like electricity and

00:03:24.320 --> 00:03:27.677
mass. Uh the fundamental
physics elements will

00:03:27.760 --> 00:03:30.757
still be like still be constraints. Um

00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:33.757
but um I think at some point

00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:39.080
uh currency becomes irrelevant.
