…To hold those jobs, how much technical AI will a person need to have? Or do they just have to know about the thing? They just need to know about the thing. The only element of technical AI that they’ll need is to find where the model makes a mistake. As long as they can find where the model makes a mistake and understand, in some ways, the frontier of the model and its capabilities — how you can push it to its limit — then it’s relatively easy to create some criteria or way of measuring that mistake so that the model can learn from it. I think we’ll have that across every different vertical, with every different tool, with these very long horizons, whether it’s 100 hours or 100 days that we want the model to work on something. That’s going to very quickly become the primary bottleneck to model improvement. Is the demand for software price elastic?…
