Now, I think that's kind of true for... I mean, if you look at OpenAI...
they weren't the only ones trying to do AI, right?
Like Google, it was assumed like Google was just going to own AI.
It was panicking everybody, and that's why Elon, by the way, co-founded it with Sam.
And Elon's still mad about what Sam did with it, but that's a different, longer story.
you know, is one of those things, well, we need an AI, we need an alternative.
The world needs this alternative to Google.
And, you know, that becomes a really, really good idea.
So anything, and look, the world, the world is changing so fast that the needs are going to, the new needs are going to multiply.
There's going to be many, many, many things that need to be done.
I mean, if you look at,
I think, you know, kind of the old, nobody, the one thing that's interesting about the SaaSpocalypse is it's definitely true that like the barrier to entry on like building software and user interfaces is getting much smaller, but

Because it's not that.
I mean, I don't think, you know, and then the question is, can you build it before they can?
But do you really want your salespeople like entering data into like a crap user interface?
And then, you know, most of the things that they work on aren't captured in the system and this and that and the other.
