And if they stand up a bunch of compute and they start scanning for vulnerabilities and all the open source that's out there and not even the open source, just like scanning ports on the Internet and trying to figure out if they can break in, they can just automate that now. They don't need to hire people to do that.
And now the defense has to be automated because there's no way to keep up with automated attackers. And what happens if this gets out of control? But worse, it's not killing anyone. And it's also deniable. That's the hardest part about it, because is it really China? Is it? Russia? Is it North Korea? Is it a friendly that's making it seem like it's one of them or vice versa?
Now you have this ability. So you go from where we had a cold war because having a war was unconscionable. It was unthinkable because of the consequences to now. Yeah, I'm just hacking you. That could spiral out of control. I'm worried that we're going to have more back and forth. And think of it this way.
If you are a nation state and you let's say that, Harry, you're a beacon to the venture community and you want to rally the European entrepreneurs to be risk on. And I'm someone who doesn't want that because I don't want the competition, a country that doesn't want that. Maybe I sully your reputation. Maybe I make you persona non grata. How is that any worse than shooting someone?
It could be worse in some ways, but you can get away with it. And so that has me nervous, really nervous, but I'm also really excited. We are seriously going to be able to innovate as fast as we can come up with ideas. Now, you're not gonna have to implement things. You're gonna be able to prompt engineer your way through things.
Just as we moved from hardware engineers to software engineers and sped up productivity, you're now just going to be able to have a prompt engineer who doesn't even write software. One of our engineers made this app where you can just describe what you want built and it builds it. And because we're so fast, it's like that. And you just iterate and it'll build an app for you.
And that's part of the exciting part. It's discovering that. But I think people will always prefer to use the highest quality, most polished product. I think there is an opportunity for artisanship, craftsmanship, and just perfecting it. Getting to a certain number of nines in the details. The Eames quote, the details aren't the details, the details are the thing.
I used to be a little concerned with the quote, you know, if you're not ashamed of the quality of your first release and you've waited too long, because there's a subtlety and nuance there. There's soundness and then there's completeness. What you want is an incomplete product, something that doesn't do everything. That's why you should be embarrassed.
But it shouldn't like blue screen of death on you. That's not a good embarrassment, right? And so what you're going to see now is because it's so easy to come up with something that just kind of works, it's a little embarrassing, but it kind of works. People are really going to value well-crafted, high-quality products.
No problem. Have fun out there. I mean, this is a brand new age. It really is.
