And so we basically didn't get the chance to –

talk at all almost.

And you basically just gave me one login.

I gave you access to my Mercury platform, which is the banking platform that I was using at the time to run the podcast.

I mean, Mercury made the experience of all these things I was doing before so seamless that it didn't even occur to me until you pointed it out that this is not the natural way to start a payroll or invoicing or any of these other things.

All right, you heard him.

Cool, thanks, Max.

Thanks for having me.

Dude, you're great at this.

Mercury is a financial technology company, not a bank.

Banking services provided through Choice Financial Group, Column A, and Evolve Bank & Trust, members FDIC.

People have proposed different ways of charting how much progress you've made towards full AGI.

Because if you can come up with some line, then you can see where that line intersects with AGI and where that would happen on the x-axis.

And so people have proposed, oh, it's like the education level.

Like we had a high schooler and then they went to college with RL and they're going to get a PhD.

I don't like that one.

Or then they'll propose horizon length, so maybe they can do tasks that take a minute, they can do those autonomously, then they can autonomously do tasks that take a human an hour, a human a week, etc.

How do you think about what is the relevant y-axis here?

How should we think about how AI is making progress?
