This goes back to my point about cloud proficiency being the most marketable skill right now in the economy.

People are using these tools in entirely new ways.

I think that we're at the outset of a boom right now caused by bespoke software proliferating throughout the economy and being used by firms that never thought of themselves as tech firms before, all of which is leading to more productivity.

And that leads to a healthier economy.

And that leads to more job creation.

And you're seeing that again in the aggregate numbers.

And that doesn't even include the blue-collar boom that's happening right now.

With the development of all this infrastructure, the data centers, and the new energy and power generation, we are seeing hundreds of thousands of new construction jobs being created.

Among blue collars, Jay Kahn, I'm sure you don't want them losing their jobs by turning this boom off.

So again, you know- No, I never advocate it.

Maybe at some point in the future, you'll be right.

Like the Trotskyite, communism has never been tried.

Maybe it'll work in the future.

Chamath laughed.

Chamath understood it.

Okay, great.

The audience is smarter than you give them credit for.

It's amazing how J. Cal uses facts that haven't happened yet as like support for his argument.

Like you just state that, oh, all the truck drivers are losing their jobs.

All the drivers are losing their jobs.
