Yeah, so I do think it starts with the problems that AI causes.

The a16z Show
Ben Horowitz on AI Infrastructure, Economics and The New Laws of Software

And actually one of the first thing, I woke up in the middle of the night one day and I was like, oh my God, somebody's going to go on a Zoom.

The a16z Show
Ben Horowitz on AI Infrastructure, Economics and The New Laws of Software

It's going to be AI me and they're going to tell my finance team to wire like, you know,

Ben Horowitz on AI Infrastructure, Economics and The New Laws of Software

500 million dollars to nigeria and and that's gonna be a problem so you know and then we're like okay everything's hardware root of access don't believe anything from me unless it's got my cryptographic key on it all that kind of thing so i i knew these problems were coming they're coming so fast now um so i think there there's kind of several categories of things first is just

Ben Horowitz on AI Infrastructure, Economics and The New Laws of Software

Ben Horowitz on AI Infrastructure, Economics and The New Laws of Software

And I think at some point it won't be able to figure it out or AI will not be able to tell what's in AI.
