And it was amazing.
And it's still happening in some areas of chips.
I think the same thing is happening with the core scaling laws in AI.
They're not really laws, but they are basically predictions and then they're motivating catalysts for the research work that is required to be.
And by the way, also the investment dollars required to basically keep the curves going.
And look, it's going to be complicated and it's going to be variable and they're, you know, they're going to be walls that are going to look like they're fast approaching and then they're going to be, you know, engineers are going to get to work and they're going to figure out a way to punch through the walls.
And obviously that's, you know, that's been happening a lot, you know, and then look, there's going to be times when it looks like the walls have, you know, the, the, the laws have petered out and then they're going to, they're going to pick up again and surge.
And then, and then, and then it appears what's happening to the eye is there's not multiple, you know, multiple scaling laws.
There's multiple areas of improvement.
And I think, you know, I don't know how many more there are yet to be discovered, but there are probably some more that we don't know about yet.
For example, there's probably some scaling law around world models and robotics, acquisition of data at scale in the real world, that we don't fully understand yet.
That one will probably kick in at some point here.
There's a bunch of really smart people working on that.
I think the expectation is that these scaling laws generally are going to continue.
The pace of improvement will continue to move really fast.
To your question on what to build, I'm a complete believer the scaling laws are going to continue.
I'm a complete believer the capabilities are going to keep getting amazing leaps and bounds.
The part where I part ways a little bit with what I would describe as the AI purists, which I would characterize as the people who are, in many ways, the smartest people in the field, but also the people who spend their entire life in a lab and have very little experience in the outside world.
The nuance I would offer is the outside world of 8 billion people
and institutions and governments and companies and economic systems and social systems is really complicated.
