Absolutely. Yeah. I would say this is that you can't, I don't think that we're at a point where we can outsource or AI taste the I guess we can outsource it, but we can't really AI taste as far as I'm concerned. So that's something that I think will hold out for a little while. But yes, en masse, I agree with you. But I would also say this, like I've done so much outsourcing over the years.

There's sort of geographical shifts that happen. So like 10 years ago, India was the place to go through for VAs, but I wouldn't say that that's necessarily the case. Now you're seeing a lot more coming out of the Philippines and you're also seeing us ones coming out of Pakistan. Um, India is probably better now for SEO kind of stuff.

So like you see sort of this movement, uh, all, all over the place. And like graphic design is a great example. There was a coding, actually, there was a time where Ukraine had like the best outsource coders. And that changed way, way before the Russian war and stuff. But like that changed at some point. Graphic designers used to be able to get amazing graphic designers out of Switzerland.

So it's a good question. My way of thinking about it is this, is that if you give work to a human being that a computer can do, you are in essence dehumanizing that person. Because it's very hard for somebody to engage with the work and do it well and not make errors when they know and you know that a computer can do it and a computer should be doing it.

So in an ideal world, the idea of the replaceable founder is that we're replacing people up, not out. In reality, that doesn't always end up being the case. And sometimes people have to end up reinventing themselves and getting into a different line of work. But it's not so much like, are we taking the jobs? It's more like, just how are we going to adapt to that?
