I love the idea in weightlifting of progressive overload — always a little bit harder, a little bit more. Go to failure, go to failure, go to failure. The beautiful thing about life is you don't know where that's going to take you.

Everyone you just named, all those successful people, they were all-in. They were all-in. They were 100% in. They weren't like partly in. They're in. They're 100% in, and completely focused, and single-mindedly concentrated on executing the plan.

A couple of years ago, AI would do about 10 to 20 seconds worth of human work without interruption... and that's just doubled every couple of months. And now we're talking about hours of work. If you just ask from a first principles question, well, why can't that be days, or why can't that be weeks or months of work? And then what does the world look like if everybody has an agent that can just do months of work for them at a time?
