Look, I think all the big model companies are going to go public.

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

Yeah.

The a16z Show

You think it's this year or next year?

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

I mean, I don't know exactly, but I think that it's going to happen in the next 12 months with no inside information.

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

That would be my prediction.

The a16z Show

I agree.

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

Um, I think that, look, I, okay.

So maybe like my strangest prediction is that I think we're going to get to the four day work week in a uniquely American way.

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

And let me tell you what I mean by that.

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

So I'll tell you a little bit of a story.

The a16z Show

So if you think back to the conversation we were having about diet and nutrition 30 or 40 years ago, there's two schools of thought, right?

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

There's the European school of thought, which is we should eat less sugar.

There's the American school of thought, which is we should eat less fat.

And, you know, maybe they were sort of influenced by industrial lobbies and whatever else.

The a16z Show

So we ran the experiment for 40 years, and Europeans stayed pretty slim, and Americans got really fat, right?

The a16z Show

Now, probably what Americans should have done, and a lot of people tried to make this better, is said, hey, we need to just change our habits as a society and, you know, moderate a little bit in sugar intake and all these.

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

Of course, that didn't happen.

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

Right.

Instead, Americans did this uniquely American thing, which is we invented Ozempic, GLP-1s.
