4 wild AI predictions from a $39B tech founder

Brett Adcock: you need to have um you need to fix the the interface to AI. You have like um AI over here and a human and you have like an old hardware system in between like a call like a MacBook or iPhone. They were designed 20 years ago. They're complete rubbish for AI. They're not the right interface. So, we went out and we are out there designing what we think comes like after the iPhone for AI. And it's like an upgrade cycle... They're going to be all AI computers and phones and systems and they're going to be great. They're going to be all real time. You can always access them... You'll be able to abstract away most apps. You'll probably not have an app store. or you probably have an AI operating system... In fact, like the metaglasses are probably one of the worst products I've ever bought. They're just horrible. They're horrible. Like I I can't even like figure out how to use it. It doesn't have its own network. It piggybacks on the iPhone network. It means your app needs to be open on your phone. The pairing's long. Like it doesn't work well. Like I can't think of any reason why I would need this thing strapped to my head for 14 hours a day. Like it's just like the wrong device.

Brett Adcock: The hard problem is not that. We think we believe now the most important constraint to really solve is like building a really intelligent robot system to the world. Like there's a bunch of robots you can go buy now. You can buy some from China and you get them and they're complete crap. They can't do anything... Robots are like that now. Like where you can we can go manufacture a ton of them, but like if they're not really smart, like it's not really going to be that helpful. We're trying to crack like the true human level intelligence of figure... we really want to tackle like how do we make it so I can put it into any home. It can do every every every job I'd want it to do.

Brett Adcock: I don't know if we'll hit it this year, but certainly in 2027 you will hit like a full human Turing test with speech. You'll be able to take a phone call from an AI system on your phone and I'll be able to fool you guys. I'll be able to have like a human call you and a robot call you and I don't think you guys will be able to tell the difference. Uh that's that's a 2027 event I feel pretty strong about.

Brett Adcock: I believe that doing hard things is easier in many ways than doing easier things. Could you explain... When you work on harder things, you have like less generally like overall probably there's like first order like less competition. You have probably like a hard thing probably means like it could be a potential like really big TAM, really big exit if it works. You have this like you know risk reward trade. You have folks that probably want to work on hard things probably like the best overachievers in the world... there's like a nonlinear curve to scaling like here the difficulty here meaning like I think a lot of the hard things are not like 10 or 100 times harder I think the hard things sometimes are like two or three or four times harder maybe five times harder but they're not 100 times harder so you might have a hundred times better payoff but it might be like three or four times harder... you do humanoids, it's like okay, three times harder, but it's probably like a million times higher payoff.
