Prediction text
Alex Finn plans to build an autonomous closed-loop organization where agents research, validate, code and deploy value on the web in coming years. | So like what I would love to build in the next couple years is an organization where one agent is going researching the web finding challenges to solve. Another agent working locally as well is taking those challenges looking at them seeing if there's real market opportunity. Another agent is going seeing which one of those are good and building out and coding it for you. And another agent puts it live on the web. complete closed loop value being generated without me having to touch it at all.
Watch events: Waymo 1M rides/wk (end-2026); Tesla Robotaxi scaling; NHTSA AV rules
