Footnotes

So here are the footnotes. The part that everybody keeps asking for and that everybody seems to enjoy quite a bit. Let's get to them. Here's the footnotes. Number one part of me really wanted to soften the language I use for the close of this video. Someone using AI will take your job if you do not use AI, but I really do think that is accurate. It will in short order be the same as applying for a job that requires you to type.

But you're just like, I don't use computers. It just wouldn't make sense to hire that person. I also realized that I am a very. I guess the term is AI forward person. This is why I feel comfortable saying what I do in this video. I'm an experiment. I tinker and fiddle with all sorts of different things, and that allows me to see what is possible and also what is not possible. And what is not possible is a much larger swath than what is possible.

So take solace in that. If you do not like the idea of AI, it is that expectation of perfection coming out of AI that, in my holds people back from really digging into it. It's magic up to a very easy to find point. After that. It's about incremental productivity gains that are on a learning curve. It takes effort. Consider two people doing identical jobs. One gets a 10% productivity gain from AI every just 10%. Even if those gains don't compound and it's just adding 10% every week, that's 520% more done in a year.

If it compounds, that becomes a very big number very quickly. Number two, AI does not replace the hard parts. Thinking you will replace all your work with AI is a complete misjudge of what the stuff is capable It lets you move faster. Does anyone benefit from me? Searching through 100 page PDF I read a couple months ago to find the relevant sections and numbers I need for research I'm They definitely don't, I don't. No one else does.

That is 20 minutes of my time that just disappears. It does not replace the hard parts. What you see here in these videos is exactly as difficult as it was before AI, because it's still all human. The writing flow, ideas, concepts, footage, the visuals. Christie Muldoon is a surviving editor, Seth Lupus and Shinpei Shen handmade all the incredible graphics you saw. And then there's a variety of people behind the scenes that fill the gaps necessary to bring this stuff to life, I assure you.

Not a single one of us has ever thought. I bet we could do this with one less person because of AI, Number three, if you work on one of the top floors of the Burj Khalifa, takes 10 to 15 minutes to get to the bottom of the building. That is why we don't build taller skyscrapers. We could physically construct them to be stable. There are challenges with that, but a major limiting factor is how fast you can get up and down from the 15 minutes at rush hour in a crowded elevator.

Switching cars on at least one floor is about the a big part of the reason the elevator operator was retired. It wasn't just because, great, let's automate the elevator. The operator was not able to manage the complexity of how elevators needed to operate in modern skyscrapers, optimizing when to stop at which floor with 20 people in the car. And it would have been inexpensive, probably inefficient way to operate the five storey elevator you find in basic hotels all over the world.

The cost of that passed on to you, the traveler. There was no way to expand it. What additional responsibilities could you give the person stuck in the box that goes up and down all day? Thank you for watching! Like and subscribe and I will see you when I get back from vacation. See you!
