You already have.

Already the startups in YC are writing huge amounts of their code with Claude.

So what challenges, what causes do you want to change in the world with that added leverage?

Like if you had 10 engineers at your beck and call, what would you do?

Or if you had a company at your beck and call, like what would that enable you to do?

And what problems and domains suddenly become tractable?

That's the world you want to prepare for.

Now that still requires a lot of technical depth.

Obviously there is the case where AI just becomes dramatically better than like everyone at everything, right?

But for at least a while, probably, there is like,

I think Jensen actually talked about this in an interview in an interesting way, where he's like, you know, I have like 100,000 general intelligences around me and I'm still like somewhat useful because I'm there like, you know, directing the values and like asking them to do things.

And, you know, they're still like, I still have value even though I have 100,000 general intelligences.

And for many people, I think that will still be true for a fair while.

And then, you know, as the AIs get better and better and better and like so on, eventually, no, but...

Again, prepare for the spectrum of possible worlds.

Because in the event where we're just totally out-competed, eh, it doesn't matter what you do.

But in all the other worlds, it matters a lot.

Get the technical depth.
