So where progress will be made most predictably is in parts of knowledge work where the task is essentially a workflow that's fairly structured.

And so somebody who spends most of their day inputting cells into an Excel spreadsheet, well, that part of the job will get automated pretty fast because that's actually verifiable.

And you know what?

That's frankly often the most tedious part of the job anyway.

And so I'm quite excited to see that progress because I'm terrible at spreadsheets.

And I think if we could free up more of my time and hopefully other people's time to focus on the art of the spreadsheet, not the tedious part of it.

Yeah, exactly.

And in journalism...

I think it's the same thing.

There's so much craft that goes into the verification of a story before it goes out that's not legible to the world.

I've had a chance to spend some time with some of the journalistic institutions of the Bay Area, like Cade Metz or Brad Olsen at The Journal.

And as you spend time with them, you realize, I mean, they're verifying every sentence that goes into each article.

Fact checking, absolutely.

So fact checking, that's an example where I think

we should be leaning on these tools and we should expect more progress.

And the parts then that will be more, to borrow your jagged frontier framing there, we will be in a regime of jagged frontier progress where wherever parts of workflows that are verifiable factually will essentially, you'll see progress there very predictably over the next few years.

And consequently, wherever that progress, the workflows are not verifiable, is actually where humans are going to shine.

And I think that's where parts of the economy, you're going to see extraordinary gains in the wages of humans who have creativity and craft that are not typically verifiable through traditional objective means.

Does that make sense?

Yeah.
