And the funny thing is, they could be done getting smarter.
They're not, but they could be, and we would still be over the hump where we've discovered electricity and now we need to harness it.
We will still get to factory farming code with today's models capabilities.
And we'll get there fast.
We'll get there by summer.
But the models are getting smarter so fast.
You know, it's really there's there's this interesting tension of, you know, like you're building tools for capabilities that the models will eventually have built into their brains.
Yeah.
And so you won't need that capability in the tool anymore.
And so there's this constant arms race and decay of your tool filling gaps for the model until the model's good enough to fill it itself and then your tool moves on.
Yeah, that's why.
All throat is becoming all code and all tools are becoming throwaway.
Yeah, by the way, yes.
So remember uh Joel Spolsky, one of the greatest, you know, of our of our our generation, our time, one of the greatest writers and thinkers, he gave the best tech talk I've ever seen, and I want to get him to come and revive it.

Great.
