 ### Garry Tan@garrytan
Intelligence available on tap means suddenly capital contains more bottled-up value than it ever has before.
You used to have very real limits to the time value of money: you can sleep in one bed. You can drive one car. But now you can have the equivalent knowledge work of 10,000 or 1M people if you could only figure out how to put it in a harness, get the data into it, and press DEPLOY.
This has never happened before.
