So I wonder whether the

The weirdness angle puts CIOs in a bit of a tough spot or ID departments.

They are on the hook, obviously, to be able to show to their organizations that they're getting some kind of value from all of that investment.

Does that mean that they have to write a completely different kind of business case or try to convince other people inside the organization that we need to eradicate these kinds of KPIs altogether?

How do they navigate this tension?

What are some concrete examples you've seen of organizations that are successfully recognizing the weirdness and thriving because of it?

You said in January or March that the bottleneck is no longer AI capability, it's the interface.

What would you then expect to see or want to see from companies like Sana that are innovating on the interface layer?

Yeah, we have been thinking about this a lot, about how to move Sana away from being a chat-first interface, first and foremost, and how would you design an interface that can allow for humans, systems, and agents to hand off to each other in an effective way?

I'd be curious to know, though, if you could wave a magic wand and change anything about how you interact with AI today, what would you change?

And obviously we were just talking originally about bottlenecks.

And the first thing that we talked about there was the bottleneck of the interface.

But what about other more human related bottlenecks?

Everyone's obviously talking about taste and saying that maybe taste is going to be the new bottleneck.

Taste is still what is uniquely human to us.

Do you buy that argument or do you think we are self-soothing until the AI gets good enough to have good taste of its own?

Two years from now, do we still have white collar jobs?

So I want to drill into what you said about management and being broad.

I know you recently wrote a piece about management as an AI superpower.

On the flip side, Silicon Valley is really proclaiming the resurgence of the IC, the death of middle management.
