Same reason I'm more excited about humanoid robots than sort of robots of very other shapes. The world is very much designed for humans, and I think we should absolutely keep it that way. And a shared interface is nice.
It's hard for me to imagine that we just go to a world totally where you say like, hey, ChatGPT, order me sushi. And it says, okay, do you want it from this restaurant? What kind, what time, whatever? I think... I think visual user interfaces are super good for a lot of things.

And it's hard for me to imagine a world where you never look at a screen and just use voice mode only, but I can imagine that for a lot of things.

You know, it's like setting a timer with Siri, I do every time because it... works really well. And it's great.

But ordering an Uber, like, I want to see the prices for a few different options, I want to see how far away it is, I want to see like, maybe even where they are on the map, because I might walk somewhere, I get a lot more information by, I think, in less time by looking at that order the Uber screen than I would if I had to do that all through the audio channel.

I think there will just be like, yeah, different There are different interfaces we use for different tasks, and I think that'll keep going.

I met with a new company this morning or barely even a company. It's like two people that are going to work on a summer project trying to actually finally make the AI tutor. And I've always been interested in this space. A lot of people have done great stuff on our platform. But if someone can deliver like the way that you actually like.

They used a phrase I love, which is this is going to be like a Montessori level reinvention for how people learn things. But if you can find this new way to let people explore and learn in new ways on their own, I'm personally super excited about that. A lot of the coding-related stuff you mentioned, Devin, earlier, I think that's like a super cool vision of the future.

The thing that I am, healthcare, I believe, should be pretty transformed by this. But the thing I'm personally most excited about is the sort of doing faster and better scientific discovery. GPT-4 clearly not there in a big way, although maybe it accelerates things a little bit by making scientists more productive. But alpha 43, yeah. That's like... But Sam... That will be a triumph.

You'll need some of that for sure. But the thing that I think we're missing across the board for many of these things we've been talking about is models that can do reasoning. And once you have reasoning, you can connect it to chemistry stimulators or whatever else.

I don't know how much reasoning is going to turn out to be a super generalizable thing. I suspect it will, but that's more just like an intuition and a hope, and it would be nice if it worked out that way. I don't know if that's like...
