Jeff Bezos discusses the inefficiency of government approval processes, calling it a $100 billion business opportunity. He notes that waiting costs $200,000 to $400,000 per day in interest, and these costs cannot be hedged or insured. Bezos suggests AI could read all plans and codes, giving a yes or no in 10 seconds, and if no, list six changes needed. He emphasizes that waiting is the only cost that is final, and AI has removed the reading bottleneck, yet the wait remains.
