We have experts at Sixth Street, my partners, Marty Chavez, who's on the board of Google, and Adam Korn and Rand Goldman Sachs Engineering, but who are experts on AI.

So I'm not an expert on AI, but I think

One of the things that you've talked about on your podcast is just the whole transition.

CEO actually came out and said something publicly.
