So that one of the big pieces of advice from Dennis was,

Take the time off that you get as a result of not having an entry-level position to work with the tools.

Use the tools extensively.

And he described this capability overhang, which is all the engineers who are building AI tools, they're not using them.

They're just building them.

And so they don't have the time to actually develop the skill set of the application of AI in collaboration with humans.

So I thought that was all very interesting.

Meanwhile, news that...

PricewaterhouseCoopers survey found that 56%, the majority of CEOs saw no ROI from AI spending despite massive investments.

Now, I believe this is looking in the rearview mirror.

I would say that massive investments by enterprise in AI probably didn't see a full return on the invested capital yet, right?

But that's the AI that we knew in 2024 and 2025.

That's not the AI that we're seeing in 2026 and 2027.

Totally different environment, really, as AI progresses.

Okay, now I wanted to talk about this in the context of a very cool new startup.

What we see all the AI labs developing is autonomous AI, meaning, hey, this is going to dramatically accelerate workflow processing and productivity in business and in your personal life.

But it's really the, you know, you give the AI an assignment and you send it off and it goes and works for hours, maybe even days and comes back with a good solution.

All right.

So last week I talked about the Forrester research for Miro that said that there's an overemphasis in AI on individual productivity.

So individuals in the enterprise using AI to advance their own personal productivity.
