So I suspect that is happening with great programmers and that GPT-like models are far away from that one thing, even though they're going to automate a lot of other programming.

But again, most programmers have some sense of, you know, anxiety about what the future is going to look like.

But mostly they're like, this is amazing.

I am 10 times more productive.

Don't ever take this away from me.

There's not a lot of people that use it and say, like, turn this off, you know?

You know, when Kasparov lost to Deep Blue, somebody said, and maybe it was him, that chess is over now.

If an AI can beat a human at chess, then no one's going to bother to keep playing, right?

Because what's the purpose of us or whatever?

That was 30 years ago, 25 years ago, something like that.

I believe that chess has never been more popular than it is right now.

And people keep wanting to play and wanting to watch.

And by the way, we don't watch two AIs play each other, which would be a far better game in some sense than whatever else.

But that's...

That's not what we choose to do.

We are somehow much more interested in what humans do in this sense.

And whether or not Magnus loses to that kid, then what happens when two much, much better AIs play each other?

Because we just can't understand it.

Look, I mean, I hate to sound like utopic tech bro here, but if you'll excuse me for three seconds.

The level of the increase in quality of life that AI can deliver is extraordinary.
