I think it's non-negotiable for founders, and I think it's incredibly important for investors as well.

Yet most don't do it.

Here's what I think.

I think that the extremist view that we are going to have autonomous agents that simply do everything over incredibly long time horizons, maybe we'll get there someday.

But I do think that at a minimum, you need humans in the loop for exception handling.

And then these models are only as good as the instructions that we give them.

And our instructions, I mean, think about the way you manage your team.

Your instructions are often frustratingly vague.

So I do think that we need people in a tight loop with the models to actually achieve

our objectives.

And I think that the sort of agent maximalist view, which is, you know, you just like chill out for the day and your AI does everything you need to do, is probably a little bit ahead of where we actually are.

I think it's both.

I think that they will do tasks.

They'll do the low NPS work that you don't want to do, right?

Do the work that you want to do, not the work that you have to do.

I think the second thing is yes, like the surface area, the sort of circumference of ambition is going to go dramatically up for us as individuals, but also for us as a species.

Harry, how can this be the peak expression of our ambition as a species?

You've read enough sci-fi books to even have a glimmer of what that looks like.

And I think that's a world that we're going to actually live in, which is if you are ambitious in a direction, you should be able to fully chase it down and express and fulfill it.

And the only question is, who are the ones that are ambitious to go do things?
