The $200 employees are strange.
Okay, well, now learn to talk to them.
formalization of the number of employees.
I mean, I have seen over the years that pattern.
Of course, we've seen, like, as Christian reminded us, Block cutting a bunch of people.
Obviously, Elon did that with X, and X didn't fall apart, even though everybody said it would, right?
There are many such examples.
So I think there's a lot of empirical support for that.
I haven't seen a formal analysis, but look like Hyperliquid, Uniswap, like many companies in crypto are incredibly valuable despite having had less than 20 employees.
We're still having fewer than 20 in some cases.
So that just seems true to me as a matter of fact.
There may be a radical example I haven't quite seen, but I've seen glimmers of is
a single person or a duo of founders who have been able to go from their idea to a live product that is working and serving customers in a matter of weeks or months.
Like I haven't seen many examples of that yet, but that seems like a this year thing, like a happening now thing, not a maybe, well, maybe five years from now.
That is like a happening now thing.
I also read this book.
I'm not going to take too much time in the podcast to disparage it, but I will say that Nick Bostrom, whose book, Superintelligence, I feel treats this topic the most carefully and sort of formally and philosophically.
It's actually a great read, even though I disagree with elements of it.
Even Nick Bostrom has changed his tune on this.
He recently had a paper basically analogizing the choice of whether to pursue superintelligence and this sort of broad extreme automation as not a choice between build a bomb or not, which is how many seem to frame it, like in the book you mentioned.
