and all the jobs that we currently do, we are going to rely more and more on open source to be able to do those things.
I think very, very frontier things, for instance, science and maths discovery, which, you know, they have a lagging period.
There's a bunch of labs, like periodic labs, who are really looking forward to tackling science over multi-decade horizons with LLMs and this new intelligence.
I think the frontier labs are going to gain a lot of, like, you know,
economic benefit from tackling those tasks.
I just don't think we're going to live in a world where the labs subsume everything.
I think we're going to see this rising tide of intelligence.
Open source is probably going to continue to lag behind a little bit to some extent.
I think those are going to be fairly parallel lines that go up together.
But if you're doing frontier science and you are planning these very, very long scientific endeavors in order to extract
economic value from whatever it is you're doing, you are going to be wanting to using the best intelligence.
And I think Anthropic and OpenAI and other players like them will make significant profits and contribute significant value on those fronts.
It's just that it's not the world we thought it was going to be two years ago, where they would also get all the value underneath that of current GDP and the things that we currently conceive of as economically valuable.
And I think that's a good outcome for everybody.
No one player wins.
I think we still have
significant, you know, capitalistic pressure to advance the intelligence of these models.
And the Frontier Labs will feel that at the very frontier.
And then that's going to diffuse throughout the rest of the ecosystem as well.
