Do we lose something in the summarization economy that we now live in?

I think the experience that we're hoping for with YC Partners is actually the feeling that you should get is that like, I don't get Groundhog Day anymore.

That's starting to be what we see at YC.

So before, I had to be in every single conversation per se and teach them the basics, one, two, three, four.

Now, instead, it's better because if I have our book face agent, we have our own AI agent that is starting to teach people

these more basic things, then when I see them, I actually know where someone is.

And then we're talking about stuff that's quote unquote out of distribution.

We're always thinking AI in terms of like what's already in the model and what's already on the internet versus what is new that has never been before.

And then all the alpha and all the things that are interesting, the things that make you alive, the things that connect you to the source, it's not in like playing the hits.

I can play the hits all day.

And like last year, that's what my day-to-day was like.

That's what every partner was like every single day was like, oh yeah, here's the two sentence pitch.

This is what the two sentence pitch is.

And now that stuff's all covered.

We can just spend all our time on like the new, new.

And the specifics for each case.

Yeah.

So that's really important.

And so that's like sort of the thing that people should be really excited about.

When we talk about how do we let society do more interesting things, I think we can embody it.
