Like those are ideas that were inconceivable two years ago.

So I think that the thing that I learned over the last 18 months is like, hey, maybe the early leaders will just be the leaders.

And over the next 12 months, I'm going to pay a lot of attention to who the early leaders are in the sort of new native categories.

I mean, it's just so damn cool.

Just to talk about it, to observe it, it's shallow.

And, you know, biology called it robot dogs barking at each other.

And I think that there's an element of truth to that, right?

Any humanity they have is just the sort of sparks of the humanity that it's taken from the context of its owners.

I think, though, what is very interesting is the idea that we can have these digital twins, these echoes of ourselves, going and interacting with other people.

We were talking about dating downstairs and how the dating apps are a mess and probably not durable in their model.

You could imagine a world in which I train, I'm married, but if I was not, I'd train a little digital twin of myself and other people would do the same and they would go have pseudo dates and then they would come back and matchmake us and say like, hey, we had this virtual date and it went kind of well and maybe you guys should hang in person.

So now we're able to kind of replicate and scale ourselves in a way that was totally science fiction five years ago, one year ago.

Oh, yeah.

Yes.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, the hinge thing.

Yeah.

That's tough.

Yeah.

So I think that like, you know, Karpathy said that people are looking at the point and they say that we're overhyping it, but they're not looking at the slope, which is being underhyped.
