Right.

So I think there's the potential to have this like really productive, satisfying technology time.

And it's really productive maybe or satisfying sort of fulfilling human connection time.

Why can't that be the shape of our life going forward?

The a16z Show

It's interesting.

So, well, I'm not sure about the family setting, but if you think of the corporate setting, you know, there's this old saying, like the best way to compete with an incumbent is to pick a product area that lives between two VPs.

The a16z Show

Cause the idea is the VPs hate each other so much.

The a16z Show

They won't possibly be able to collaborate to actually like handle the competition in this area of crossover.

The a16z Show
Network Effects, AI Costs, and the Future of Consumer Investing with Anish Acharya on The Kevin Rose Show

Yeah.

And that's like an area in which I think, look, if each VP had an agent that went in, I mean, we'll have to see, and I guess there'll be agent politics, corporate politics, but you would just imagine conflict resolution feeling so much less personal.

I think so many issues at work come from this like misattribution of professional decisions to personal feelings where it's like, hey, the boss went against me because they don't like me.

The a16z Show
Network Effects, AI Costs, and the Future of Consumer Investing with Anish Acharya on The Kevin Rose Show

It's not because they just had a professional judgment that was in a different direction.

The a16z Show

And I hope that this technology helps to lessen that.

The a16z Show
Network Effects, AI Costs, and the Future of Consumer Investing with Anish Acharya on The Kevin Rose Show

Yeah, absolutely.

The a16z Show
Network Effects, AI Costs, and the Future of Consumer Investing with Anish Acharya on The Kevin Rose Show

Well, I think that there's venture exciting and then there's sort of like human exciting.

And when I tell you a story like the one I told you about this guy, Mike, who built this incredible software and he's like, you know, a clod pilled and all this other stuff.

The a16z Show
Network Effects, AI Costs, and the Future of Consumer Investing with Anish Acharya on The Kevin Rose Show

That's one of the most hopeful things I've seen in a long time.

The a16z Show
Network Effects, AI Costs, and the Future of Consumer Investing with Anish Acharya on The Kevin Rose Show

I mean, we should put Mike on billboards.

The a16z Show

I actually pair that with a lot of the stuff that Elon's doing.

Like when you see the, you know, the effort to get to the moon, when you see SpaceX, when you see Waymo.
