So, so like, I think every, every single person that is like the most AI pill right now is just like, we're just drowning in work because we're like kicking off way more work for ourselves.

And we, we can't ever get off that treadmill because of how easy it has, has become to just create this work.

Like, I don't know, like an hour before this call,

I kicked off two kind of processes that now I didn't even need to start, but I started them.

And now I'm going to absolutely add another hour to my day because I'm going to go and do whatever the agent produced.

I'm going to go and follow up with all that work.

And I didn't even have to, but it was so easy to kick it off that now I've created more work for myself.

So we're just going to do that for everything.

Yeah.

I mean, if we want to run with that, we can name it paradox.

We might as well get some alliteration in there.

Well, I don't know that my body has handled it, but I'd say from a brain standpoint, it's very, very stressful.

I see a therapist just to help me calm myself down from an anxiety standpoint.

To Amjad's kind of example, those are the worst Slack messages.

If you just ranked all of the stressful things, because you're just like...

There's like 40 implications when a key person leaves that you then have to instantly kind of cycle through.

Probably the reason I keep doing it is because the upside still exceeds the anxiety and the stress and kind of time cost.

The upside is the, you know, for lack of any better explanation, is just like the intellectual curiosity and excitement of building something and then having that thing be used in the real world and knowing that, like, you know, you get to just move that forward another step.

And then right now, I'd say it's even amplified because...

most of the technology that is being built by everybody else ends up being something we can also build on top of.
