Like, for example, if an agent is to make a different change to your slides, how does a thing show you the diff?

How do you see the diff?

There's nothing that shows diffs for slides.

Someone has to build it.

So it's just some of these things are not amenable to AIs as they are, which is text processors.

And code, surprisingly, is.

Yeah, I think that makes sense.

I mean, I would say, yeah, I'm not saying that anything text is trivial, right?

I do think that code is like, it's pretty structured.

Text is maybe a lot more flowery and there's a lot more like entropy in text, I would say.

I don't know how else to put it.

And also, I mean, code is hard.

And so people sort of feel quite empowered by LLMs, even from like simple kind of knowledge.

I basically, I don't actually know that I have a very good answer.

I mean, obviously like text makes it much, much easier maybe is maybe why I put it, but it doesn't mean that all text is trivial.

I guess I see it as like a progression of automation in society, right?

And again, like extrapolating the trend of computing.

I just feel like there will be a gradual automation of a lot of things, and superintelligence will be sort of like the extrapolation of that.

So I do think we expect more and more autonomous entities over time that are doing a lot of the digital work, and then eventually even the physical work, probably some amount of time later.

But basically, I see it as just automation.
