If you're not using AI at every aspect of your business, you're not going to make it. What are the other principles that I need to be thinking about when I'm scaling my company? I think a current example is look at Elon. Elon is an incredible entrepreneur and an incredible scientist. And if you study how he operates, he gets people by, I think, sheer force of personal will to overperform, to take huge risks, which somehow he has this brilliance where he can make those trade-offs and get it right. What would be such a company in the age of AI? Well, we can tell you what it would look like. It would have apps. Those apps will use powerful networks and they'll have a really big computer in the back that's doing AI calculations. So, future successful companies will all have that, right? Exactly what problem it solves, well, that's up to the founder. But if you're not using AI at every aspect of your business, you're not going to make it. And the distinction as a programming matter is that when I was doing all of this, you had to write the code. Now, AI has to discover the answer. It's a very big deal. But basically, all of a sudden, analytical programming, which is what I did my whole life, is gradually being replaced by learning the answer. So, all of this stuff around large language models and deep learning, it has come out in the Transformer paper, GPT-3, ChatGPT, which for most people was this huge moment, is essentially about predicting the next word and getting it right. I don't write very well. So, I write down what I want and then I put it through one of the engines. It always does a great job writing it. I had to write a memo to the president about AI with a whole bunch of numbers. And so, I wrote the memo and then I said, rewrite this, but don't change the numbers. And of course, it came out much better.
