And so I think towards the end of my PhD, I was becoming more and more constructively optimistic too,

But yeah, you never know if these things are possible that early, but you can dream.

And if you keep working super hard, eventually you can make some of these dreams come true.

But of course, it's also just like the first milestone right now is the time for us to really show that we can do this.

I hear that a lot of times out of Germany and Europe, but you can see this in many places.

When technology really scales, you actually end up in a place where people will have more equitable access to goods and services.

So let me give, for example, an iPhone.

The iPhone, no matter if you're just a middle-class teenager or you're a multi-billionaire, you use the same iPhone.

So even if you're on the furthest left spectrum or the furthest right, it doesn't really matter.

You can love technology and its scale.

What other goods and services are there that are bottlenecked on intelligence that humans don't have currently access to?

Personal tutor for your kids.

Most people can't afford that.

Personal assistant to just schedule all the little random things and taxes and whatnot, right?

Most people have to waste so much of their productive time on these minute, boring tasks.

And I really do think like we're seeing this a lot in different industries and maybe just my current hypothesis is that depending on the elasticity of the demand for a certain good or service,

that will tell you whether AI will actually create more jobs when it makes that more efficient and cheaper or destroy jobs.

And coding, for instance, what we're seeing is coding is becoming 10x more efficient.

Anyone can now code with English.

And somehow we want more coders.
