And suddenly we're going to have geniuses in data centers.

And I still think you're presupposing some discrete jump that I think has basically no historical precedent that I can't find in any of the statistics and that I think probably won't happen.

I'm a little bit suspicious.

I would have to look at it.

I'm a little bit suspicious, and I would have to take a look.

For example, maybe some of the logs are not very good from before the Industrial Revolution or something like that.

So I'm a little bit suspicious of it, but yeah, maybe you're right.

I don't have strong opinions.

Maybe you're saying that this was a singular event that was extremely magical, and you're saying that maybe there's going to be another event that's going to be just like that, extremely magical, it will break paradigm, and so on.

There's still some overhang that's being unlocked.

Like maybe there's a new energy source.

There's some unlock, in this case, some kind of a cognitive capacity.

And there's an overhang of cognitive work to do.

That's right.

And you're expecting that overhang to be filled by this new technology when it crosses the threshold.

Yeah, I mean, yeah, it's really hard to tell.

I understand that viewpoint.

I don't intuitively feel that viewpoint.

I love Nick Fling's books, by the way.

So, yeah, I was just listening to his podcast on the way up here.
