Podcast Appearances
Yeah.
And a lot of the interface for this stuff today are chat type interfaces.
And between WhatsApp and Messenger, I think that those are just great ways to...
to interact with people.
I think we'll get to that.
And if only just empirically looking at
Microsoft released this thing called Xiaoice several years ago in China.
It was a pre-LLM chatbot technology that was a lot simpler than what's possible today.
And I think it was like tens of millions of people were using this and just really became quite attached and built relationships with it.
And I think that there's...
There's services today like Replica where people are doing things like that.
So I think that there's certainly needs for companionship that people have, older people.
I think most people probably don't have as many friends as they would like to have.
If you look at... There's some interesting demographic studies around the average person has...
the number of close friends that they have is fewer today than it was 15 years ago.
And I mean, that gets to like, this is like the core thing that,
that I think about in terms of, you know, building services that help connect people.
So I think you'll get tools that help people connect with each other are going to be the primary thing that we want to do.
So you can imagine, you know, AI assistants that, you know, just do a better job of reminding you when it's your friend's birthday and how you could celebrate them.
Right.
