He owns a big piece of it.
And he's the CEO of BlockSquare and was previously the CEO of Twitter as well.
There you go.
Who's counting?
Yeah, I think the top of the news has to be AI Day at the World Economic Forum, where I spoke yesterday about Satya Nadella's comments to the World Economic Forum.
And now this morning in the news, there are recounts of the...
Significant presentations done by Dario Amadei of Anthropic and also Demis Hassabis of Google DeepMind.
And they delivered some important messages.
And I want to put these into some context here.
First of all...
Let's talk about what Dario Amadeus was talking about.
He said, we're just six to 12 months away from models, including Claude, that do most, if not all, of what software engineers do end to end.
And witness that Claude co-work was entirely developed by Claude Code under the supervision and direction of engineers.
But all of that code was written by Claude Code in order to develop a product that is really making a big splash out there by making...
Autonomous agentic coding accessible for not just users who are building software, but for people who want to just do day-to-day work on their computer.
So this is really democratizing this trend that he's observing.
And he said...
we could have 5% or 10% GDP growth, but with that 10% unemployment.
So this is something we've been talking about in the number of shows that have preceded this one.
And he said that high growth and high joblessness simultaneously is something that we've basically never seen before.
