And I think we're going to move into a world where, you know, sometimes it's called vibe coding, where you're basically coding with natural language, really, right? And we've seen this before with computers, right? I remember when I first started programming, you know, in the 80s, we were doing assembler. And then of course, that seems crazy now, like why would you do machine code?

You start with C and then you get Python and so on. And really one could see is the natural evolution of going higher and higher up the abstraction stack of programming languages and leaving the more and more of the lower level implementation details to the compiler in a sense.

And now this is just, you know, one could just view this as the, as the natural sort of final step is, well, we just use natural language. Uh, and then, and then the whole, you know, everything is, is high level program, you know, super high level programming language. Um, and, and, and I think we eventually that's maybe, maybe what we'll get to.

And the exciting thing there is that of course it will make accessible coding to a whole new range of people, creatives, right. Who normally would, you know, designers, game designers, app writers that would normally would not have been able to implement their ideas without the help of teams of programmers. So that's going to be pretty exciting, I think, from a creativity point of view.

But it may also be very good, certainly in the next few years for coders as well, because I think there's, and I think this in general with these AI tools is I think that the people that are going to get most benefit out of them initially will be the experts in that area who also know how to use these tools in precisely the right way.

Whether that's prompting or interfacing with your existing code base, there's going to be this sort of interim period where I think the current experts who embrace these new tools whether that's filmmakers, game designers, or coders, are going to be superhuman in terms of what they're able to do.

And I see that with some film directors and film designer friends of mine who are able to create pitch decks, for example, for new film ideas in a day on their own. And then they can, but it's very high quality pitch deck that they can pitch for a $10 million budget for.
