You don't need a PhD or kind of this massive budget anymore.

Solo founders can totally build products that used to require entire teams.

And so that's why I'm super optimistic about AI.

I think every kind of technological shift in history, whether that's electricity or the internet or smartphones, like all of them followed the same pattern, which was kind of this early hype.

Then you had a big moment of disappointment.

Progress was pretty slow.

And then all of a sudden everything kind of clicks.

I think that's where we're now with AI.

the history of AI, obviously to me, when you look at technology, it feels like a real lesson of like patience.

It took many decades of all of these different ideas failing before we were able to be successful.

And you had like the hardware that was underpowered.

You had a lot of unrealistic expectations that we had to get there.

But the payoff right now is like massive.

Like we're seeing this really, really help a lot of people in how they do work.

And so

I think we're getting to a world where intelligence is becoming more of a commodity, where intelligence is gonna get a lot cheaper and abundant.

This AI that we use, it's gonna get a lot cheaper.

The upside is definitely for builders, for people that are trying to, these early adopters, people that are trying to work and build and create things.

I think when people say that, you know, like, oh, oh my gosh, AI came out of nowhere.

I don't think that's true.
