And plenty of people would debate me on that one. But when I sat on the line, I said, everyone's time to put down your definitions of AGI. Some people feel like it's already here. Some people, we can keep putting the definitions out there. We skated right past the Turing test. And I feel like the default is just to keep pushing on what that definition could be.

When it comes to superintelligence, I actually get pretty excited because I think we'll see a lot of superintelligence first is actually in research domains. I think math in particular, we're going to see novel theorems proven, maybe not in the most elegant of ways, but they will be proven. And then maybe it's like from there, then people find the elegant proof because they know it's possible.

Just like someone runs a fast mile and then everyone else tries to one-up them because they know it's possible. And I think it's going to be really interesting to see the ways that humans and AI work together in these research domains.

I would argue that regardless of AGI or AI progress, that's already where you should be. If you're so lucky to get to choose what you do, then yeah, you should already be focused on the areas where you're driven and motivated and have vision. Did I map tier three? But I already argued that. I mean, it's so easy to find something that's novel.

Doesn't mean it's something that you're going to be driven and motivated by over time. Sadly, a lot of entrepreneurs fall into the strap of they find something and they go and they like go build that thing and they're making some money from it and they just keep going. But it almost always leads to burnout because it's not what they are truly motivated by.

And I think long term, probably the highest agency people will deliver the best results in the age of AI. Yes, currently agents don't have agency, despite the words being very similar.

It's super simple. And by the way, I think that we're far away from what you're saying, although it's very generous. But I would say it's just any time that we can help a user achieve their goals. Anytime I get user feedback, whether it's constructive, it's like, I didn't like this thing. I'm like, oh, man, we got to improve the thing.

Or it's, man, I was able to do X because of Figma, any part of the product. That is the eternal fuel for me. And I just love interacting with customers.

I think it's probably hardwired. I have notebooks from when I was a little kid about how would you go make the best bathroom? Because that was something I was really interested in as like a six, five-year-old, six-year-old or whatever. By the way, there's still a lot of improvements we can make to bathrooms. Lay it on me. What would you do?

I'm less germaphobic now than I used to be, but as a kid, he was a little bit of a germaphobe. I remember going to SFO for the first time and like, it just be this magical experience that you could like put your hands in the faucet and it would automatically, the water would come out.
