I already outsource a lot of decisions.

It's not too much further until I've completely outsourced a decision and a purchasing intent.

That's what's made Meta and Google such amazing companies is they've figured out how to get the thing you want to purchase in front of you.

All their work on recommendation systems is figuring out what you like, how to keep you on the platform longer, whether it's YouTube or Instagram or ByteDance with TikTok, or it's, hey, here's the ad of the thing you'll probably click on and buy because that's how I get paid.

And everyone likes to claim they don't pay attention to ads, but you do.

So I think the scaling laws, again, like if you zoom out, it's not actually what like original paper is, but in spirit, sure.

Scaling laws are more compute, better intelligence.

And that could be bigger and bigger model.

Each iterative token is better.

But again, when I talk to you and I, whatever like word garbage I spew out, if I went back and I wrote about everything I talked about in this, I could make it way more condensed.

It could be way more clear, potentially, right?

Now, the benefit of podcasts is a lot of times people are like- More fun this way.

Driving, it's fun.

Yeah, exactly, right?

They're walking their dog and they're listening, whatever it is, they're working out.

But like an important thing here is,

is that by putting in these environments, you're teaching it like humans.

If I asked you to go figure something out, you might not necessarily know the answer right away, but I know you could probably figure it out in a given amount of time.

That's reasoning.

You're spending more brain cycles.
