Um, but it's not like, you know, there's, there's a very, very, there's tons of things that humans can do that AI is just like fundamentally incapable of doing. So, um, so it's not a, it's not like a, I don't think you can even like measure one versus the other. There's sort of like very different kinds of intelligence.
Yeah, this is a good question. Actually, this is another really hot topic in the AI industry is can you get AIs to start doing some of the engineering and some of the improvement on its own?

Yeah, this is a good question. Actually, this is another really hot topic in the AI industry is can you get AIs to start doing some of the engineering and some of the improvement on its own?
So this is something I mean, my personal thought is I think this is something we should kind of watch a little bit and we should make sure that humans always are have the sort of like steering wheel and the sort of control over because like you're saying, you know, it's kind of a slippery slope before that gets kind of, you know, a little a little weird.

But but I don't I think that like we can we we can maintain that we can make sure that we don't let the AI just sort of like keep iterating and improving on its own.

Well, there are companies that try to program the AI to adopt various personas and โ Oh, yeah. I got the Indian GPS guy. Turn right. Like on Meta, on like Instagram or whatever, you can get an AI that has Awkwafina's voice, for example. Oh, that's cool. Yeah. And it's funny. The Awkwafina AI is funny.

No, no, no. I grew up, I think, like, solidly middle class. Like, we weren't, we, you know, we weren't, we weren't, like... You weren't trapping or anything? Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, like, you know, solidly middle class. And I think, like, I mean, one of the crazy things about... tech and the tech industry is that, you know, we've been we've been just sort of like building this thing up over time.

But one of the things that that happened is AI all of a sudden became like there was so much progress in AI and it became the biggest thing in the world. Right. Like, I mean, all of a sudden, you know, anywhere I go, I'm, everybody's talking about AI. It didn't used to be like that when I started the company. AI was just kind of a, like a niche topic.

And now it's like, you know, anywhere you go, like I'll just be walking around and I hear like random conversations about AI. For sure. And AI and robots and all this stuff. And so it's kind of been crazy to experience that and be a part of that wave and kind of like, you know, I started working on this company almost nine years ago.
