Oh, okay.

What's the subject matter of the panel?

The trains are being run out of centres, you know, control centres in Perth, right?

Yeah, that's exactly right.

By human beings.

So maybe they can replace the human beings in those places with AI.

What sort of things are the human beings doing on the mines that the humanoid robots could do?

I'm not sure it is temporary because when the companies that I'm talking to, what they're saying is that although the

the unit costs of intelligence are down.

So the cost of a particular task are lower if you use AI than human beings.

The trouble is they're doing, because the tasks are so cheap, they're doing it more often.

So if you can get a marketing plan once a day instead of once every three months, they're doing it.

Yeah.

You know, like they're just doing these things far too often because they can.

And so that seems to be the problem.

And so it's just, it's going to take a lot of discipline for companies to kind of wind back this stuff.

Yeah.

And because, I mean, there's no doubt that the, you know, if you can call it this, the unit cost of intelligence, whatever, however you might measure it, are definitely lower.

It's just the amount you use it is the problem.

I mean, I'm spending more on this stuff.
