Celine, you must have an opinion.

One is this is clearly an artifact of the massive breakdown in the social contract.

And as we move to AI agents, it's going to be about task management, AI, coordination costs dropping radically, execution costs dropping radically.
And we're looking at that.
The third thing I would say is what this indicates is the broader transformation at play.
You often see when you have these broad transformations, these nonsensical things that occur, it's actually an indication of the broader transformational play.
I remember Paul Saffo pointing out that the
The coal museum in Kentucky is using solar panels.
And there's like this surreal irony around that that actually indicates there's a broad transformation in place.

And this is something we've been talking about a lot.
How are we going to navigate the social contract?
The very first two questions from the audience earlier were exactly about that.

Yeah, that's what I was pushing back against.
