Like a hundred percent.
I will say, I agree with Doug.
We got into one, we were taking a DD, which is like the Uber equivalent here.
And it was a van.
I forget what brand or model it was.
but on the armrests of the passenger seats in the back there were screens built into them to like adjust all the chair settings and i a knob could have been i'm like guys it's an iphone it even has like i think it's the same os it's like there's a little iphone in the armrest so that you can press back on the seat like that's it we can just it's okay for some of them to be knobs and dials still yeah
That's where, because anyway.
I think I came in with high expectations.
This is a strange first impression I've had is the number of people that we've run into or seen that are seemingly live streaming on Douyin, which is like the Chinese version of TikTok.
And basically the same app.
And the number of people who are just live streaming something out in public on that app, especially in Shanghai.
presumably doing it to nobody.
Like with very, very few viewers.
I think it's really odd to see the, for those who have browsed on something like YouTube shorts and you've seen these AI animations where you watch like a tiny anthropomorphic cat get lost and get adopted by new anthropomorphic cat parents as the background music goes meow, meow, meow, meow, meow.
Like that style of weird AI animation is everywhere.
I see it, it's so prevalent on like screens, on trains.
But we have talked to a few people and the AI skepticism that I think is so prevalent in the US is just not here in the same way.
There's a very strong public favor from the people we've asked and from what they think of what other people think.
Of AI being a good thing and something that will be positively integrated into whatever the future is.
