And so this is how I think always in my business is when I'm thinking about which bet to make, I imagine if there's just 5% rate of improvement per quarter, eventually this happens.

And so with...

Some things we've done on the show, we started two years ago and for the first 18 months, it didn't work.

And then six months ago, it exploded because eventually the rate of improvement got to the point where it was viable.

And now it's the single most important disruptive thing we've ever done.

And I think about the example I just gave there of agents.

I'm like, if you just imagine any rate of improvement, just imagine 1% a year.

And obviously it's way more than that, but imagine 1% a month.

But you're not saying that AI is going to disappear?
