Transcript context

…can say for sure if you're if you're suggesting to us that ai is gonna raise the bar on what's possible to do you are Certainly setting the standard. I think you're showing an entirely new way for teams to build. You're showing an entirely new way for a leader to show up and actually contribute to the work product of the company, which I think is really inspirational. And then I think you're also showing, look, you just have to go learn these things and try things and, you know, you're going to get in a loop. But over time, you can actually become one of these entrepreneurs. leaders that's on the leading edge as opposed to the lagging edge. So I think it's great. And I think you're setting the standard for how EPD orgs are going to operate in the future, if not companies. So we're going to wrap up with a quick lightning round. Two questions. If you could encourage people to learn just one of all your toys here you just showed, just one that you think is the highest impact, which one would it be? Oh, V0, honestly. It's a bias, I think, because I spend so much time in product. I think I'm more of an engineer. I think cursor's agent mode is pretty crazy. I think if you're a CEO of a company, I think Devon is the most impressive. The fact that you can just be in Slack and just talk to it, and it will do this. is crazy. So I think a lot of it depends on like your role and you know, what you value and what you think is the most important. But v0, I think it's just like the lowest hanging fruit. I think everyone is kind of familiar with Figma. And I think a lot of people think that like, you know, okay, now people, no one questions that AI can code, even though a year ago, people were like, say, oh, we can't code or whatever. But now people are like, oh, we can't design, it doesn't have taste, you know, and so it's just like really, you know, like design a really nice onboarding wizard for a bank. And watch it do a better UI for a bank than any bank has. So I think that this is something anyone can do. A kid could have fun with this. So I would say, yeah, I'd probably nominate v0. And then the cool thing about v0 is it shows you what's possible. And so then if you want to execute on it, then you have to learn all the other tools. The other nice thing about v0 is that it comes with a URL. So you could build like a tic-tac-toe and send it to your friend and play tic-tac-toe, which is a kind of a nice, you know, replet or bolt.new or lovable. Like there's just so many things. We've talked a lot about how you are setting up incentives like bounties to get people to use AI or learn AI. But how do you get AI to do what you want? So I found that everybody has their own tactic, like they're mean, they offer money. What is your strategy for getting AI to listen to you when it's in a little bit of a loop?…
