Artificial Intelligence will FORCE Monthly Stimulus Checks.
FULL TRANSCRIPT
is AI going to ruin employment is
everybody just going to lose their jobs
and we're gonna have to get Universal
basic income well yes potentially on
needing to get stimulus we're actually
going to talk specifically about that in
this video because Deutsche Bank just
put together a piece on artificial
intelligence and uh listen to one of the
hand-hand this is a part of what we're
going to talk about towards the end of
the video where we talk more about
stimulus but listen to this phrase here
ready for this
in today's
society the tolerance for dramatic
changes to people's employment prospects
is low
so if the impact of AI is going to be
transformative then we could expect new
laws regulation and there it is folks
there it is stimulus
in the near term the financial support
to reduce the near-term impact now we're
going to talk about this near-term
income and stimulus towards the end
because some people are going to go how
the he double hockey sticks Kevin
how the h a double hockey sticks are we
ever remotely going to go back to
stimulus with these levels of debt
and I'm actually going to show you
how exactly we might be able to so first
though we need to understand is AI going
to ruin all of our jobs and take away
all of our opportunities and is it time
to destroy Ai and anybody who pitches AI
including you Kevin I see that course
featuring AI
well let's read the Deutsche Bank piece
at least the highlights of it so here we
go given how rapidly the use of AI could
spread it is true that there could be
short-term dislocations in the labor
market to date though the fears about
technology leading to less work have
been unfounded over the long term since
new technologies don't just substitute
labor but they actually tend to
complement it if anything the biggest
risk of innovation tends to be quote
failing to embrace new technologies in
other words if you're and In fairness a
lot of people are like this but if
you're like a lot of people right now
and you're like hey I sh may I it ain't
doing my job right now I I don't need to
learn about that that is historically a
big mistake so
maybe somebody can like help you out you
know maybe there's somebody who can
catch you up to speed in the link down
below anyway okay so continuing on here
since centuries prior to the Industrial
Revolution demonstrate stagnant
productivity meant that living standards
changed little now I want to explain
that that's very interesting but first
there's a really fascinating line right
he where is it somewhere in here I'm
just going to jump to it because it's a
really fascinating line before we get
into some of these items here
in this Deutsche Bank piece what they
say is just 150 years ago
almost all of society
had one purpose and I want you to think
about this for a moment because it's
more impactful so if you're just like
passively listening you're like just
tell me Kevin stop for a second and
seriously ask yourself what did most
people do 150 years ago what was the one
goal people had 150 years ago you ready
for it
get food on the table that's it 150
years ago the vast majority of society
existed literally to farm food and put
that crap on the table while you're
wearing some burlap clothing like you're
in Rust and not running around naked
that was life 150 years ago
and it's scary that 150 years ago
everybody's working Farms where today
the size of our agricultural Workforce
is like
zero relative to what everybody else
does I mean the amount of farmers
watching this video was probably
somewhere like one percent so if you're
a farmer you're the one percent
so that's very interesting because it
shows you okay that's a good point we
have had technology it has created a lot
of new jobs over the last 150 years
we're not all grain Farmers anymore okay
so what has history looked like
well these are fascinating so in 1589
Queen Elizabeth refused to Grant the
inventor of a mechanical knitting
machine a patent
because it would put manual Knitters out
of work was the fear
famously in the 19th century and I've
regularly referred to this line in uh on
on this YouTube channel uh the luddites
or the phrase the luddites and
specifically I like to call people
luddites who just don't adapt like when
I hear people are still storing stuff in
paper files and binders I'm like Luddite
why are you not why are you still doing
that I mean unless you're like in the
CIA or something like that it's like oh
it buried a bit of cloud or I don't I
don't know it just seems wild you're a
lot I'm just not adapting with the times
but anyway most famously in the early
19th century a group of English textile
workers called luddites destroyed
Machinery in part because of fears that
would take away their jobs to this day
the term Luddite is still used to those
who are resistant to new approaches of
working exactly
but that's one of the most frustrating
things when you're running a company is
when you're trying to hire people and
then you hire people or just completely
resistant to doing things
the more Modern Way
anyway you're better off training
somebody who doesn't know what they're
doing how to do it better
anyway
in 1862 you had Union people form a
union because grain elevators basically
pissed off listen to this job you ready
for this job shovelers in New York City
yes a shoveler was a job and the
shovelers would quote denounce the
owners of elevators as capitalists and
speculators who were robbing the honest
Laborer of his do okay AOC of 1862 what
actually ended up coming as a result of
all of The Innovation and all of this
nonsensical fear of stuff like in the
1940 U.S senator Joseph o Mahoney
proposing a robot tax that machines
should be taxed in the proportion of the
number of jobs they take away from
humans or the Time Magazine story of
1961 saying that basically new
Industries yeah in the past helped hire
more people but not anymore today now
now we're really going to start losing
jobs
all of it ended up basically being
complete BS in fact take a look at this
this right here is the group of Seven's
unemployment rate over the last 200
years about actually more like 250 years
you can basically see the unemployment
rate has with the exception of like
booms and busts
pretty much stayed constantly low like
three to four percent
over the last 250 years kind of wild
here we are on jobs day talking about
unemployment
so why hasn't there been a massive wave
of unemployment anytime we get
Innovations well look at this line this
one's particularly relevant in centuries
past there were no Cloud Engineers new
jobs are created as the result of new
technology there were also no YouTubers
yet there were plenty today
second there are things that robots
can't do like persuasive argumentation
chat GPT isn't great at being very
persuasive but it's pretty good at
getting you Baseline information that
sometimes you stop the fact check uh
number three
Technologies increase our productivity
and wealth and they also increase our
standard of living and also give us more
free time so that way we can demand
other services like personal fitness
trainers which basically creates more
jobs for first personal fitness trainers
think about it if 150 years ago we're
all farming how many of us farming are
like oh yeah let's now also get a
personal fitness trainer like nobody so
you're like I just had my personal
fitness it was called plowing that's
right I plowed all day long
anyway so oh yeah here's that example of
150 years ago I thought that was really
interesting but anyway now Innovation
leaves us open to more Leisure and
Hospitality better standard of living
here's your agricultural industry
agricultural industry plummeting over
time giving way to other services
Leisure and Hospitality education and
health the more Innovation you have the
more education you need the more people
need to understand how to type how to
use a computer how to code uh you know
if there was no Health Care system in
the in the past
because nobody knew what they were doing
other than here have some alcohol and
bite on this rag while we chop your leg
off you know you don't really need much
education but now that we have a modern
medical system you actually do need to
educate doctors for years sometimes six
to ten years which is wild
um shout out to the people who go
through that for a Health Care system
thank you but anyway uh then look at
this they give an example Ford in the
Model T they're like oh no the conveyor
belt is going to replace workers AOC is
going to be pissed of the early 1900s oh
wait no what did the conveyor belt
system actually do it actually reduced
the cost of
the vehicle from 950 in 1909 to just 290
dollars by 1926 massively increasing the
number of people who could afford a car
making them more productive because now
more people could drive on newly built
highways and go shopping in new strip
malls or shopping centers that were
built outside of cities and they could
live in suburbs and they could go to
Advanced schools and they could have
more Leisure Time and they could build
their wealth
huh Innovation is surprisingly a good
thing
a surprise surprise in fact look at this
particular chart this particular chart
is first of all what's shocking is look
at a time where we had little Innovation
between 1209
and 1709 you had basically negative real
wage growth in other words if you were a
worker in 1650 you made less money than
the worker in 1209 because basically
inflation reduced your your real wage
growth that's insane that 400 years
later you technically made less money
but that's because Innovation was
basically non-existent
whereas when you actually put Innovation
into
our society look at what happened to
real which that's very important because
real means inflation adjusted what
happened to inflation-adjusted earnings
they skyrocketed what happened to
productivity per person
it skyrocketed
now what's fascinating about this is
there were estimates back in the day
that basically people like uh John
Maynard Keynes suggested that hey you
know not only are you going to have
better health and you'll be able to live
longer I mean look at this apparently
today we are seven inches taller than
our pre-industrial ancestors so 150
years ago people were seven inches
shorter we're getting taller because of
modern Healthcare interesting never
thought about that before I understand
the life expectancy is at least gone up
maybe it's stagnated in recent years in
fact that's what some people argue is
like oh but well we've stagnated since
the Great Recession true but maybe now
ai is actually going to help us get that
next big boost right unless of course
you're a lot either you're like leave me
alone Ai No I don't want to learn about
Ai No I don't want to take the catch up
to speed course from Kevin on featuring
AI which drops June 6th at 6 pm and yes
after Kevin finishes his work this
morning it's finally going to change
those prices is and you can still email
them at staff and meet kevin.com to lock
in your best price
before the prices go up but anyway
going back to this what's really
interesting and I love this stuff is
look at this
I'm just gonna read this one because
it's so fascinating me even the most
eminent economists have overestimated to
the extent that which humans would find
themselves
underemployed as a result of economic
progress back in 1930 John Maynard
Keynes famous Keynesian Economist he
basically created that wrote an essay
called economic possibilities of our
grandchildren he predicted that living
standards in the century would be four
to eight times higher which actually
proved to be correct living standards
did go up four to eight times however
people didn't work less see he thought
people would go down to just 15 hour
work weeks because of innovation
that didn't happen though the work week
hasn't really gone down that much
and there are potential reason for the
work week not going down that much is
actually potentially because maybe work
provides a sense of purpose and
fulfillment and that when you're
unemployed
you actually have more negative Health
outcomes you gain more weight you're
more unhealthy you feel less happy
you're more depressed but when you're
working and you feel like you're
actually contributing to to real growth
and you can make a meaningful change
that's actually what makes you most
potentially happy
and now you know that's would be on an
average that might not necessarily be
true of everyone but I thought this was
interesting humans are inherently
ambitious and will always seek out ways
to progress themselves so even if we all
become richer in the future individuals
are unlikely to accept a good standard
of living as defined in 2023 instead
they will strive to oh boy keep up with
others which will likely involve
remaining in work to earn more money as
a result even if some of our Newfound
wealth in the future is used to enjoy
more leisure time it is highly unlikely
we see a complete one-to-one
substitution of labor for leisure in
conclusion
if AI does prove or then we gotta talk
stimulus okay that's why I put this note
here because I knew I'd almost forget if
AI does prove disruptive then it is to
be expected that policy makers will
protect workers against any short-term
employment disruption whether that is
via laws regulation or a redistribution
of income
oh that's interesting so this is where
we go to how the he double hockey sticks
are we ever remotely going to go back to
stimulus with these high levels of debt
that we face today
and what's actually the most simple
explanation of how you can have stimulus
with these high levels of debt
is quite frankly the following
so write down what the level of debt is
today so we're going to write T equals
well we'll just do T Sub Zero T Sub 0
will be time equals now okay so T Sub
Zero
31 trilly debt
23 rounding a little bit here truly
economy
that means we have a debt to GDP using
these numbers here of about
134 percent
so we have more debt than our economy
makes right that's bad it's basically
kind of like also saying we spend more
than we take in right we're upside down
now let's go to
t plus 10. so in other words 10 years
from now
what if in 10 years from now because of
the productivity that AI creates in
other words people still work 40 hours a
week they're able to be so much more
productive that they make more money and
their wealth goes up and hopefully they
you know they invest like we talk about
in the stocks and psychology money
course or the real estate zero to
millionaire course whatever it's how I
went zero to millionaire way before
YouTube Real Estate
uh and people have more time to spend on
stuff now all of a sudden
you could why I suppose you could work
more but you could also spend more which
is cool you could travel more or
whatever uh what if our economy explodes
faster than the rate of debt
and with AI this is likely to happen so
now all of a sudden let's take our
economy and let's say our economy 10xes
over the next 10 years
and so we go to
230 trillion dollars of an economy this
is Extreme it's unlikely to 10x but
let's just make the math simple to
understand how this could function
so say the economy 10x is over the next
10 years
now your debt five x's over the next 10
years okay well 5x would put you at
about 155 trillion in debt now what is
your debt to GDP
well now your debt to GDP ratio is
actually just
67
so now what does this mean well it means
between
now and 10 years from now you could
potentially spend
124 trillion more dollars which
basically is like
41 cares acts of stimulus 41 cares acts
of stimulus and if I'm off by a factor
of 10 here then
four cares acts you see what I mean but
the point is
to say
if the economy does become rapidly more
productive just like it has in history
right here if this is what happens over
the next 10 years then as Deutsche Bank
tells us yes you are going to likely see
quote dislocations in labor markets okay
in the short term and those are going to
be protected how are those going to be
protected they are going to be protected
with
laws regulation
or redistribution of income in other
words likely some form of
Universal basic income probably not cold
Universal basic income because that's
deemed too Progressive or leftist but
something more like a higher
unemployment insurance like remember the
days of you know 500 a month or or how
about this one you remember these days
every American should be paid two
thousand dollars a month at minimum just
to be able to survive and put food on
the table now the problem with that is
is that going to cause massive inflation
well if you have this sort of
productivity not necessarily
remember let me catch you up to speed
what caused inflation during the
pandemic it was not the slow increase
the spending
it was the sudden increase of spending
that this spike is what caused inflation
you could fact check on me on this this
is very easy all you have to do is type
in the Google Saint Louis Fred and then
type in uh you know total Federal
Reserve balance sheet and then we could
see basically the total assets of the
Federal Reserve which is a way of saying
how much money did the Federal Reserve
and if we look at uh the last 10 years
it's either relatively slow or negative
and you can do that right here
relatively slow growth or negative and
if you look at this massive explosion
here well no surprise that that massive
rapid explosion caused inflation but
if over the next 10 years you do more of
what we did during 2010 and 2018 where
you gradually or more gradually spend
more money on basically stimulative
style programs for people who are being
replaced by AI or some form of Ubi then
what actually happens is you can in a
weird way massively grow the economy
while stimulating more and while not
causing inflation
that is what we're going to leave it off
on because that is pretty wild to think
about
you could have Ubi with no inflation and
a more productive economy and a richer
economy and one where people are more
productive however you just have to
remember the biggest warning that I
think out of this piece was right here
the biggest risk would come from failing
to embrace new technologies
exactly why you should embrace the how
to make more money and get sh-19 done
faster course featuring AI with the AI
lectures dropping on June 6th at 6 pm
we'll see you there
[Music]
now I want you to know this when it
comes to AI
time is what's going to make you money
and if you can prove that value to an
employer you'll always be able to be
employed so this is another way of
making sure that you don't get replaced
but
all right
