The excerpt is a single-speaker commentary arguing that only about 250,000–500,000 people are currently "AI-pilled" (roughly 0.07% of the global population), and that this implies AI adoption is still in early stages ("second inning"), will drive much greater compute and electricity demand, and will lead to reskilling rather than wholesale disappearance of agencies and many job roles.

0.07%. Okay, so according to what he said, so he says that 500,000 people in the world are super AI-pilled right now, if not like maybe even 250,000. So if you divide that by 7 billion, it's 0.07%, right? It's a very small number. So what does that mean exactly? If 250,000, 500,000 people are AI-pilled, what that means is we're going to need way more compute, way more electricity, way more a lot of things. And agencies are not dead. Okay, the harsh reality of AI right now is maybe we're just in the second inning, maybe, and that's it, right? But all this talk about, oh, agencies are going to be dead, no one needs ad managers anymore, this and that. You can say we're biased, but I just, I don't think you can say that for a lot of these roles. And a lot of the roles that people don't want to do anymore, we're just, we're going to be reskilled into other areas. So harsh reality, only $250K to $500K, that puts things into perspective.
