I mean, I don't think open source is like, I think we've kind of tracked, we have tracked negatively on open source for sure. As we've seen more and more relicensing and so on. Um, What is your view on kind of where open weights are tracking? Because it feels like that's just been positive in the last year. We've got more and more. I mean, I think Llama 3 has been extraordinary.

We've got a bunch of these things that are open weights. What's your view on what the trajectory is there for six years for open models?

Look, we all know folks who are vegans who also eat bacon. It's like, what is... Okay. You're a vegan unless it's really delicious, I guess. Okay.

Well, this is our end, you know, saying talk started and, you know, this is our kind of like the Abraham Simpson kind of the Mr. Smithers isms. The I definitely love the idea of the old timey model. that is all, all public domain work. And it may also be interesting. I mean, maybe those will get better and better as more and more stuff enters the public domain.

Cause we are on the cusp of a lot of stuff now entering the public domain. Um, as we are what at 1929, I think, or are we, um, and so we've obviously got like, uh, um, Hey, you know, 1933, Germany, it wasn't just only a couple of years away. Yeah. Um, you'll be entering the public domain. All right. So the, uh, in terms of my own, uh, my own six year predictions.

Um, so I, I, I'm really glad again, we've recorded these Adam because I, I had a prediction that I was really like, I felt was a really great prediction. Whereas I basically made the same prediction last year. So I'm going to restate this prediction. I'm going to, I'm going to tweak it just a tad. Um,

I think that I've been wondering about, you know, where are the, I think LLMs are going to completely revolutionize some domains. And I've been trying to think about like some of the, and certainly software engineering has been, is being revolutionized, has been revolutionized. I think that another one, and Simon, I agree with you and with Mike about letting people do more.

I think that another one, and Simon, I agree with you and with Mike about letting people do more.
I've always believed that like, that's the real revolution here is not actually having people, putting people out of work. It's about allowing people to do more of their job that they couldn't do previously. And I watch my own kids with respect to LLMs.

And, you know, right now, at least at like, you know, I've got a kid in, I've got a kid in college and in high school and in middle school and at the high school and the middle school, you know, their, their AI policy is basically like abstinence, right? Um, you basically can't use it at all. And I think that that's nonsensical and they, the kids think it's nonsensical.

And whenever they are kind of doing intellectual endeavor outside of school, they are using, uh, they're, they're using LLMs in a great way to like, you know, we are using it to, you know, learn more about a sports figure or learn more about doing the things that kids do, right. Troll next door, troll next door. Exactly. Um,
