20VC: Why All AI Companies Are Under-Valued | The Future of Foundation Models: Scaling Laws, Generalised vs Specialised, Commoditised? | From Unable to Afford Rent to Raising $130M From Index and Peter Thiel with George Sivulka @ Hebbia

I think that RAG was one of them, i.e. this idea you could find things in the data really fast. Decomposition in agents are another. This idea of scaling at inference with our matrix product is another.

You can look at a lot of the other things where agents are controlling four screens at once, and you're actually looking at someone use a computer, or computer use where AI models are moving cursors are others.

I actually think that the better agents are, the more work that they do, the more important it will be that they are easily understood by humans. The idea would be, okay, let's say we have a bunch of employees, 10,000 employees or 10,000 AI agents drop at a company. They're all experts. at doing something.

That ends up not becoming a problem of giving them the right tasks, but actually it becomes a management problem, right? There's this whole infrastructure orchestration layer, the thing I always come back to of making these things work together. And that's actually going to be a challenge. And that's going to require a very human first, ultimately a product. And that's what we're trying to build.

Do you think Elon will be successful with Doge? I think it will be his greatest challenge. There's a lot of self-protecting mechanisms in the largest organization in the world, which is kind of a US government by spend. It's just this massive, unruly organization. It's not going to be as simple as Twitter.

I think the thing that I care most about in the world is that we as an industry have very clear guardrails that we can follow and understand to build the best possible tools, to get our tools out to the economy, to make sure that everyone transitions in the best possible way.
