1 Person + AI Agents = Billion Dollar Company? (Blueprint for Sam Altman’s Theory)

Sam Altman predicts that at some point in the future, we'll see the first one-person $1 billion company, and that AI will be the reason that happens. It seems crazy, but how could AI actually enable a one person billion dollar company to exist? What would have to happen for this to actually be real, and how would someone set this company up. I think AI agents play a huge part in how this company will be built, and so I want to break down my blueprint for the first billion dollar one person company. This is purely hypothetical based on the current trajectory of AI, and what others are already building in this space.
