A great example is what we do in that.
Now we're paying out over $3 million a day and the fastest job category ever created in history.
And I expect that's going to continue growing exponentially from here.
And I think that there's going to be so many new job categories created across
everything within AI, such as training agents for deployed engineering, building data centers, all the way to all of the problems that we otherwise wouldn't have been able to address as a society.
Like how do we build solutions to climate change?
How do we have more people working on rockets to explore space, et cetera?
Totally get you.
You said 3 million per day paid out.
What is that in 12 months time?
In 12 months time, that's probably about triple that.
Maybe it's quadruple that.
We have internal projections that are always much more aggressive than our external projections, but we almost doubled our projections last year.
What new role will we have in five years that does not exist today?
One of the largest things that people underestimate, both in the context of AI labs as well as within the enterprise, is how significant of a job category it is going to be to train agents.
What we're seeing is that all knowledge work is converging on training agents because it is structurally more efficient to do something once.
instead of having a customer support representative that is redundantly responding to hundreds of tickets they're going to train an agent how to do that once instead of having a lawyer that is redundantly doing dozens of similar red lines on commercial contracts they're going to train an agent how to automate that and even probably when you're playing around with claude you see that there's so many repetitive workflows of how you prepare for a meeting or draft emails or whatever it is where it's just much more efficient for you to train the agent how to do that activity
so that you can amortize that over the entire useful lifecycle rather than doing it redundantly yourself.
And so I think that there's going to be this enormous paradigm shift as agents enter the workforce and everyone begins to manage them.
Well, I agree in part.
