is it really an inflection point that's been generated by cloud code or does it cloud code just benefit from, you know, a, a, a really good framework right now that allows people, even non-technical users to implement cloud code on their desktop.

And that's kind of a little bit of a breakthrough, but is it, is cloud code really right into the forefront or is,

Is there a general equivalence across these major coding offerings that I just listed?

I like the phrase, set and forget, or in the military context, fire and forget, right?

An autonomous missile, once you release it, is fire and forget.

So a fighter pilot can release a missile that has been given an objective, which is this specific target that it was painted for, and then go about identifying other targets and going after those.

So we're getting to the point where AI agents and AI assistants are approximating fire and forget capabilities.

And under your control, like you can say, well, no, I don't want you to just continue without my approvals through every step that leads up to this objective.

I want to have you check in with me periodically.

So you have that choice.

Or you can just give cloud code, for example, and

you know, blanket permissions to do all the actions that are necessary on your file system, on the web, et cetera.

And, you know, another news item here is the new universal commerce protocol from Google, including, you know, up to you go ahead and spend my money out there without any prior approval.

I have confidence in you.

That's kind of fire and forget AI.

By the way, you asked that question, you know, during that videotaped demo that you did, Carl, to Ryan and to Jennifer.

And that question was, you know, should I use Terminal or can I use Cloud Desktop?

You know, which one's better, you know, for someone who's non-technical?

And Claude desktop, I asked Claude desktop, you know, that same question while you guys were, while I was watching your video and Claude came back saying, you know, making a pretty clear comparison.

And, and basically he,
