I don't know if that's going to happen in three months.

You're very optimistic-class pessimistic.

I feel like I'm the Memento Mori guy.

If I'm remembering correctly, the person who would walk behind the emperor of Rome or whatever as he goes on his parade and everyone celebrates him and remind him that he's mortal, that he's going to die.

He's just behind them whispering that thing.

I feel like I'm the same way because Marco said, here's the only problems.

The only problems we have with AI are like,

figuring out what to ask it and all these other things young people would be better at it i didn't say that was the only problem with ai to be clear the problems that we were going to have with it but but i just wanted to remind everybody i mean i i feel like we're still even in the uber phase of this where uber had this amazing service where you could get a car to come to you and they were just running at a loss for years and years until i could drive all the taxi companies out of business but actually the money we were paying for an uber ride was not paying for enough to cover the costs of the company and the drivers and

Remember all those years, right?

And start coming out of those years, like now that we've killed the taxi companies, we can start turning up the price.

The prices we're currently paying for this are not covering the costs of the services we are receiving.

Now, in theory, unlike the Uber drivers, which are kind of intractable, there's humans, there's cars, and well, setting aside self-driving.

Um, in theory, the cost curve on inference and training will go down or whatever.

We'll see how that goes.

So there's the, it's technology.

They're trying to drive the cost down, yada, yada.

But then of course there's the whole ethical, legal and moral problem, which is how did these things come into being, uh, by, you know, consuming all this content without permission and where do the benefits of that go?

Oh, they go directly to open AI and not to all the people from whom they took the content.

You know, well, how are all the lawsuits from the New York Times and Disney and Paramount and like, we don't know how that's going to go.

Like, it's very easy to get caught up into the amazing thing these tools can do for you.
