Yeah.

So it's almost like ready or close to ready to like instantaneously publishing.

So you know I think that's one very clear example of how workforces get thinner as technology advancipants get more and more like pervasive in the mainstream.

And the diamond shape analogy is interesting.

My perspective actually is more that it becomes an inverse triangle.

And I I say this for a few reasons.

I think, you know, middle managers, I think

Up until recently, we didn't fully appreciate how fast or how robust AI can be in like intelligence.

To the sense where, you know, what you might have previously delegated to a middle manager to figure out.

So for example, right, let's say you're the CEO of a company.

Previously you might have like a I don't know, mid layer finance manager and you're like

Go and figure out all the US compliance policies that, you know, we need to adhere to because of a restructuring.

And you ask that person do some research, blah blah blah.

And I guess that's what a lot of network managers do, right?

They are in charge of like semi strategic planning functions and then maybe a bunch of like interns who are really junior analysts like supporting them on all the entire range of um that plus executing on it.

But today like I just

Chat GPT I'm like and ChatGPT pulls out not just what I need to comply, ask me, okay, give me more context than your company, tell me what you already have, and it just goes in a loop and a loop and a loop and gives you a very like comprehensive plan and just ship it off to like maybe a very junior person.

So almost that middle layer probably doesn't really need to exist.

But then even that junior person could be like automated over time through like you know different agents that can

actually help you execute right.
