Kevin, your thoughts on that?
No, no, there's, you know, saying there's no answers and we're being asked to just chillax.
I think, Kevin, you do acknowledge that there will be a change in the occupation mix in America, right?
Even as a founder and CEO myself and as a business owner that employs hundreds of people, I am thinking differently about especially entry level positions, right?
in a way that I wasn't, honestly, six months ago, before some of the models got more advanced, especially as it relates to things like coding.
But I'm thinking very, very differently about who to hire.
And actually, one of the things I find myself naturally doing is the person that still is on the coalface of hiring in my company is when I see entry-level positions, the first thing I'm looking for is if they have an AI proficiency.
And there are candidates now, even for me, at entry-level positions that I'm not selecting for because I realized that someone with an AI proficiency in that exact same role is now like a 5 or 10x person.
And so I'm just experiencing myself making different hiring decisions as a founder.
And I'm sure you are as well.
Kevin, did you see this week Figure AI, which is one of the humanoid robot companies, did a live stream for, I think it was four days, where they just showed a robot on a sort of factory floor sorting out parcels for four straight days.
And it did it better and faster than humans doing it.
This was a humanoid robot.
And so one of the things I think about is if you listen to someone like Elon Musk, who's made a prediction, this is a direct quote from him.
My prediction is that there'll be far, far more robots like intelligent robots in the world than there will be people.
Long term, I think the ratio of humanoid robots will be more like two to one.
There might be two humanoid robots or more for every one human.
And when you think about Elon Musk's predictions over time, to his credit, sometimes his timeframes are wrong.
But when he says the rocket is gonna land on the chopsticks, the rocket eventually lands on the chopsticks.
When he says my car in LA, my Tesla, will eventually drive itself without me interfering, the car eventually drives itself.
