If not now, then in six months.

That's a huge deal.

That matters so much more than whether you can squeeze a few more cycles out of the CPU.

When it comes to these kinds of business applications, if you're making Unreal Engine rendering stuff like Tim Sweeney you had on,

Yeah, he needs to really sweat all those details.

The nanite engine can't run on Ruby.

It's never going to.

It was not meant for that.

Fine.

These kinds of business applications absolutely can.

And everything that people are excited about AI for right now, that extra capacity to just do more, that was why we were excited about Ruby back in the early 2000s.

That was because I saw that if we could even squeeze out a 10% improvement of the human programmer,

we'd be able to do so much more for so much less.

The paradigm I really love with this was something Elon actually said on one of your shows when you guys were talking about Neuralink, that Neuralink allows the bandwidth between you and the machine to increase.

That language, either spoken or written, is very low bandwidth.

If you were to calculate just how many bits we can exchange as we're sitting here, it's very slow.

Ruby has a much higher bandwidth of communication

reveals, conveys so much more concept per character than most other programming languages do.

So when you are collaborating with AI, you want really high bandwidth.

You want it to be able to produce programs with you, whether you're letting it write the code or not.
