Come up with any idea, the ability to make it happen and do this at mass scale where the limits to what people can have are going to be sort of like what they can imagine and what we can collectively negotiate as a society.
I think this is going to be amazing.
We were talking earlier, like, what does it mean if every student gets a better educational experience than me?
the best like the richest student with the best access can get today what does it mean if we all have better health care than the richest person with the best access can get today what does it mean if people are generally speaking freed up to work on whatever they find most personally fulfilling even if it means they have to be new kinds of job categories um what does it mean if everybody can
Presumably you and I both really love our jobs, but I don't think that's true for everybody.
Yeah, I agree.
What does it mean if everybody gets to have a job that they love and that they have the resources of a large company or a large team at their disposal?
So maybe instead of the 800 people at OpenAI, everybody gets 800 even smarter AI systems that can do all these things and people just get to create and make all these things.
I think this is remarkable.
And I think this is a world that we are heading to.

You know what I mean?
Literally no child left behind because they can learn at their pace.
By the way, what's happening with children who are using ChatGPT to learn things?
