Even just looking at the most advanced AI companies throughout big open AI, everyone's increasing headcount.

Today, my guest is Benedict Evans.

Benedict was a longtime partner at A16Z as their in-house analyst and resident thinker.

Before that, he was a longtime equity researcher.

And for the past six years, he's been an independent analyst tracking the most important tech trends and sharing what he's learning.

Most recently, as you'd expect, he's spending all his time on how AI is changing our lives.

And in his words, AI is eating the world.

In this conversation, we go deep on what we're still not pricing in on the impact that AI is going to have on our lives and our work.

The rise of anti-AI sentiment, the impact on jobs, where in the value chain most of the value will accrue, and tons more.

If you are worried about AI or just confused about where things are heading, this conversation will teach you a lot and also make you feel better.

Benedict, thank you so much for being here.

Welcome to the podcast.

You just put out this deck called AI is eating the world.

I want to ask you kind of the flip side of this.

We all know it's a big deal.

Like knowing that, what do you think people are still not fully pricing in when they think about the change that they're going to experience to their lives and their work?
