Claude Code when she's editing essays, which is a kind of a novel use for me.

But that is the second curve, right?

The first curve is a performance improvement curve.

The second curve is the diffusion curve, the harnesses, the things that sit around a piece of technology that make it more applicable and make it more useful.

Well, I'm going to treat you to a classic Azeem analogy here, and I want you to think about the internal combustion engine.

Now, if you're a smart engineer, a mechanical engineer, and you get an internal combustion engine, it's useful to you.

You can do something with it.

You can put some diesel into it or some gas.

And maybe you can connect it up to a generator and produce some electricity.

Or you could figure out how to connect it to a rotating blade and build a hedge trimmer.

It's brilliant and well done.

And I'm so glad you did mechanical engineering.

But the rest of us can't do that.

What really gets internal combustion engines to take off is when you put them in a harness.

A harness that makes that technology a useful product.

Now, historically, we've called the harness for an internal combustion engine an automobile or a car.

When you put a combustion engine in a car, in a harness, it becomes useful.

Let's call it open car.

And now people will buy lots of them and they'll use them a lot.

This is the full product solution.
