I think that they are not correct when they say that we're going to create a lot of jobs that are going to mitigate the job dislocation.

But in healthcare, it's going to play out differently.

And because healthcare is one of those things that is not a static demand.

Like, the more affordable you make healthcare, the more it will stimulate demand.

It's almost what economists call this Jevons paradox, right?

The cheaper something becomes, the more you use it.

The cheaper healthcare becomes, the more we're going to use it.

Instead of waiting 45 days for a primary care appointment, I think we're going to be interacting with our primary care doctor

synchronously, asynchronously with him or herself as a human, but also with their avatar.

Like we're going to see agentic interns, right?

And so, you know, I think about healthcare.

Healthcare is not an information technology, but we've seen other industries become information technology.

So can we turn healthcare into an information technology?

There's only 1 billion people in the world, Jess, that have access to a doctor.

But there are 6 billion people in the world that have access to a cell phone.

And the cell phone is going to be the form factor for the medical superintelligence.

We are seeing a proliferation of these medical superintelligences.

You've got Epic launching Comet, which was trained on 16.3 billion patient interactions.

You've got Open Evidence now serving 500,000 doctors in the country.

Now, you've got Microsoft Diagnostic Orchestrator.
