And at some point I probably will be a collector of Chinese teacups that are used in tea ceremonies.
And then the other thing, because my parents are Buddhist, you know, some Buddhist artwork that has been given to me or that my father has as well.
But I'm not yet a collector, but at some point I think I will.
What about you, James?
All right, James, you know what time it is.
It is prediction time.
What do you see in your crystal ball for the future this week?
Really, really interesting.
So mine is surprisingly about AI.
So we're sort of reversing roles as opposed to geopolitics.
I would say that even although some of the Tencent announcement was negative about the integration of agentic AI,
that China is going to be at the forefront globally of agentic AI adoption and integration, because it already has this strong super app ecosystem.
When you think about the use of Alibaba or Tencent in everyday people's lives, it's these super apps.
I think we're going to see China really be the first and the fastest to adopt and integrate
these agentic AI personal assistants in day-to-day life.
So for instance, and I know this is already happening, getting your agent to book flights, trains, set your meetings and agenda, text somebody, give you dating advice, everything.
I think that that will be much more heavily integrative in everyday people's lives in China versus the rest of the world.
And I think that we'll start to see a boom
in apps doing agentic AI in China, but in particular, the Tencent and Alibaba's being the front runners of the pack because they have those embedded super app ecosystems.
All right, before we go, some big news.
