0:00.0	All of a sudden, it seems like AI is everywhere. Whether it's recommending your next series to binge
0:04.4	watch or finding fraudulent charges on your credit card, AI is here to stay. But it needs a lot of
0:09.7	speed and computing power to thrive, which means staying competitive requires an infrastructure
0:14.1	that can keep up, and one that won't see your cost spiraling out of control. Oracle Cloud
0:19.1	infrastructure is the solution with its fast,
0:21.9	hyper-secure platform that gives you everything from database management to application development
0:26.8	and AI tools. And Oracle are a sponsor of this podcast. And here's the kicker. OCI costs 50%
0:32.8	less for compute and 80% less for networking, so you're saving a ton.
0:38.0	If you want them to help you do more and spend less, then give OCI a try at oracle.com
0:43.8	slash Bartlett.
0:45.5	That's Oracle.com slash Bartlett.

1:09.8	globally recognized voice on AI safety and associate professor of computer science.
1:14.5	He educates people on the terrifying truth of AI.
1:17.2	And what we need to do to save humanity.
1:19.4	In two years, the capability to replace most humans and most occupations will come very quickly.
1:24.7	And then in five years, we're looking at a world where we have levels
1:28.3	of unemployment we never seen before. Not talking about 10%, but 99%. And that's without superintelligence.
