Uh they're now, you know, a thousand times more productive than before because they're managing these armies of AIs.
So you you may not need to hire more of them, but the ones you hire who are good.
will be much more important by a lot, not just by a little.
So I don't think it's simply substituting away from intelligence.
You want beings who can manage other intelligent entities, humans or AIs, and a lot of those people will be very smart.
sure, yes, that makes sense to me.
So I think some mix of knowing facts but understanding them, having great taste and having the initiative to manage an army of AIs and the willingness to do the juggling involved.
It's a very complicated set of traits.
But my sense is the people who have those will do just very, very well.
Well, it makes me more optimistic about America, that we're the AI leader.
You know, the Chinese models, Deep Seek and Manus, as you probably know, they're based on American AI.
So as the Chinese government uses AI more and more, it will be more dependent on Western modes of thought.
And they can censor the AI on Taiwan, on Tiananmen Square, but they can't really change how it thinks without making it much stupider.
So we're taking them over is one way to put it.
Not in the sense of conquering them.
But the Francis Fukiyama vision.
I think will be realized through AIs.
Can you expand on that?
Well, the smartest entities in China, you know, already, but more and more as the future arrives, will be AIs.
And those are American.
