Emad Mostaque founded Stability AI, built Stable Diffusion, and helped kick off the open-source generative AI explosion - before stepping down to build a new blueprint for human freedom. A former hedge fund manager turned tech pioneer, he argues that we have reached the end of our \"economic life expectancy,\" and that within two years, virtually any job that can be done remotely will be done cheaper, faster, and better by artificial intelligence.
Emad and I discuss why 50% of work tasks are about to collapse like a sand pile, the arrival of $1.50-an-hour humanoid robots that fit directly into human-shaped holes, and why the state will inevitably try to license AI and use brain-scanning technology to prevent you from lying.
