man, we're getting to a kind of a crazy world.
And then I saw Cheeky Pint, I think is the Carlson brother and Dworkesh did with Elon.
And I just saw a clip, I haven't listened to the whole thing yet, but in it, Elon is talking about the companies that replace humans with agents and robotics are going to have a significant advantage.
And what he talks about is he goes, there used to be buildings full of people doing calculations
Now, your calculator or your phone can do everything that was in that building.
Floors and floors of people doing calculations on pieces of paper and all this stuff.
replaced it and it reminds me of have you ever heard uh the carl icon story uh he bought a business um and uh he went to go see uh there's an office in new york and in chicago and he says he goes uh talks to the owners in new york and uh he says well i'm gonna think i'm gonna go see the guy in chicago who's kind of like the second in command and the new york guys go no no no you don't need to do that just talk to us he goes okay
And he goes and sees the guy in Chicago.
He said, don't tell him I'm coming, but what do the guys in New York do?
And the guy goes, listen, I've been here for 20 years or whatever.
I have no clue what the people in New York do.
And he goes, okay.
So he goes back to New York and he fires like eight floors of people all in one day.
And he goes, and nothing changed at the business.
And he tells it kind of in the Carl Icahn way, right?
Whatever.
And I'm just like, so this has been going on for a long time.
But now what you're getting is you're basically getting these people who are AI native, who understand how this technology can be used.
And they're saying, not only do I not have to go and hire people, but I can do things that I could never do before.
And I think that may be the most important part.
