Yeah, generating a resume, but it radically increased the cost of verifying a resume such that less hiring happens.

With me so far?

happens as like writing text is kind of gone now that's right so what that means is AI will create lots of jobs in proctoring and right you have essentially the whole KYC economy the the the entire you know the like all the stuff that people do for face ID and biometrics all that stuff merges with you know proving you're a human you're unique all those things merge together where a

becomes like this critical, critical thing.

Can I log into a system?

All the identity, authority, all that stuff will increase 10x from where it is today, maybe 100x.

Prove that you are a human, that you're unique, that you have the credential that you say you do, the endorsement that you have you do, like have multiple things.

It's not just one thing.

It's like all of these.

Prove it cheaply for yourself, but very hard to fake.

Example, having... I won't give out your email, Eric, but blank...

that is easy to verify, hard to fake, right?

Because you'd actually have to break into the cryptography, like an email.com is something that actually carries a lot of signal with it, where it's just one click for Eric to verify that he has an a16.com email, but it's who didn't have DNS access and the private keys effectively associated with the a16.com domain to get the MX record and Gmail access.

that email username.

Does that make sense, right?

So easy to verify, difficult to fake becomes a critical thing in any system that deals with strangers, which is lots of systems.

It's an interesting environment.

I haven't even gotten to, you know, fake video, fake photos.

This gets me back to media, right?

The reason, can we go back to that Philip Lemoine thing?
