Anything That Isn’t Full Code Is Already Obsolete

I think basically anything that is not full code is dead. Like yeah, — because I agree that — that the only advantages you have are when you're working in full code that anytime you drop below that you're taking this genius assistant and you're just handcuffing him. — You know that it's like Yeah. I was telling somebody it's like you have Albert Einstein, you're making him, you know, write in Mandarin. It's like it's just it makes no sense. And so, you know, I think you know things like PowerPoint are total I mean PowerPoint more than just about anything is — built for that prior era. It's just all click and drag and you know — set properties and you know it's no code and — yeah it's going to get — it's going to be roadkill in a month. — Yeah. I mean this is only just with Nano this is only with Nano Banana Pro has this been become a reality from what I've seen and I think it's only you know this is just going to accelerate from here. I mean the usage of Nano Banana Pro I think is off the charts. Like if you just listen or read any of the sort of headlines that are coming out I think that everyone's underestimated how important image generation tools are to just like knowledge work you know like how they will um impact knowledge work. And I think it's even surprised me actually, you know, cuz I would never even have dreamt of this capability being possible, you know, but now it's here like wow, this actually changes so much within just general knowledge work like how much of knowledge work like I remember my jobs where I was sitting in an organization. I mean half the organization is just creating powerpoints to each other and going to meetings like that. That is honestly — that is honestly what half of these larger like very large organizations do. Um, and so if you can just generate this stuff automatically and you can analyze data and then present it like this. That's where this people will build tools to be able to enable this like this is what will be embedded into chatbt and things like that very soon. I mean it's not here but it will be very soon. I mean that's going to just change a lot like a lot. That will change more than chatbt has changed things up to date. Well, it was interesting because just before we came on, I was on with um with a couple of the folks I've been working on with the Plotly stuff. And what I did is just, you know, I can show you that, you know, it just created this, you know, this 20,000line skill. um just send you a share request. And it's basically it's the back end of what you just described with your Nano Banana, which is it just takes — it just takes the code, — throws it into a um that local web server, and then just uses the iteration between the code and what the code renders. And it just keeps running until it gets the uh loop right. And then it says, "Oh, we're done. " And you know, you want to take a look. And if you like it, you say, you know, print it and it just goes back up to the uh the dashboard and it renders, you know, so all the interactions intact. And you know, it's like, you know, the idea that we're still even in the mode of, you know, writing DAXs and, you know, building charts. It's like I I'm just not I'm just I'm not doing it anymore. — Yeah. I know. It's just over, isn't it? You know, I had [clears throat] this like terrible interaction with someone on online the other day. Um and I was and I was just like I was like I can't believe that someone would write this to me. Like I just I just couldn't believe it. And then like I was kind of think pissed me off for a little bit and then I was just trying to think about it over the last couple of days like why would someone write this like th this sort of stuff and I realized that I think like there's just so much anxiety out there and it's just it's anxieties about you know AI's role and what it's doing to a lot of jobs and a lot of worth and that and that's just a reaction to that and they seem and it's and I think I was just in the middle of that anxiety And I think that's real. Like I think that is a a real thing. The usage of Excel and PowerPoint will go down over 90% in the next 2 to 3 years. That's basically what I um I have discovered. Um — Poweroint's already dead. I think that Nano Banana can do PowerPoint slides like betteract. — Exactly. So, PowerPoint my reason for my prediction there is I created my own PowerPoint uh like application using cloud code and plugging in nano banana I created it within a day yesterday within a day and I am now able to create presentations um with a couple like just a couple of prompts adding reference images boom get a presentation I mean I

can show you one And what it opens up is when you do it like that without much sort of like intervention like human intervention. I was like we're thinking you could create a c like a one-off presentation per customer now you know like if you're doing a sales presentation or marketing presentation and the need for like human involvement clicking and dragging and all that it's over. It's totally over. You just do not need to do it. And you got to think that the image models are going to get even better. I mean like you know that they aren't perfect every single time, but you just push a button and you say, "Generate another one. Generate another one. " — You know, that's the thing. I just wrote something today. You don't even have to push the button anymore. you just iterated through cloud skills that what you do is you pop it up on I think it's 8080 on the local web server and then there's a playright skill that you can call and so you can have it look at the nano banana images that it creates — and if any of the stuff is wrong like if there's incorrect spelling or something it you can just tell it keep iterating until that those spelling errors are gone. So by the time you see it, — whatever requirements you have, you can specify and it just does it. — You just I got this big red button. You just — Yeah. — You just hit it and it just goes. — Yeah. — I mean it it's — it's one thing and I've talked about which is if you can specify the requirements — Yeah. — then it you just delegate it. — Yeah. Well, before the Nano Bonan Pro, before Nano Banana Pro, you couldn't do it because it didn't write the text out properly, right? Like it could do good images, but it never could get the text. But now, you just say, "I want a presentation with this text [clears throat] and use these reference images to create this image. " Um, then boom, it creates a point. I really actually want to show I really want to show you. I want to show um — and uh what else did I Yeah. And just the speed of it, I mean, the cost is still quite high. It's really the other interesting thing about it is right like if you think about the cost of PowerPoint as a like a subscription, it's really not that much. It's like bundled into um Office 365 and things like this. But my realization is that I rebuilt PowerPoint for basically nothing. Uh really, you know, it cost me nothing. A few tokens and in a day's worth of time. And creating presentations is going to cost me more money. It's money because every time I generate a slide, it cost me 15 cents at the moment, right? It's going to cost more. — There's an open router. Um there's no problem when you use it only cost 4 cents per image on Nana Banana. — Nana Banana Pro, — right? I'm using Replicate at the moment. So their sort of cost for the highest tier for the highest quality is 15. So let's just say it's 15 cents. So, I guess my theory is that yes, you're going to pay more for presentations now, but the presentations are going to be more effective and they're going to be done quicker. So, there's sort of like that is a um [clears throat] uh an analogy of like just a sort of another trend that I'm seeing, right? like you might be paying more for using a piece of software but you and then than if say you were using some generic SAS application because you're going to but the effectiveness of the output is going to be way more right because I can create a presentation which is highly targeted at a particular customer and I can do it in about 10% of the time maybe 5% even less than that you know like so it the economics of actually doing specific things is like rapidly Changing all the works.
