But like, Hey, if that's what the users want to do with it, then cool.

The tools are working.

yeah exactly and i think the cool thing with uh where firefly is going as a whole is like even from where the tools are today you can really clearly see where it's going and how this sort of just becomes even more and more so just a full suite just going back to just a nice early bookend but going back to where we started where i was talking about you know my first pc didn't it was just a family household pc and we didn't each have our own computers because that wasn't really a thing back then but i couldn't do any sort of rendering because i was just trying to

render on the the local amount of compute power i had well now like everything in this kind of like firefly suite it's all just cloud compute so suddenly as long as you've got internet access like everyone's kind of playing to the the same spec which i think is really interesting and it means a good point yeah i love this kind of like access slash democratization piece which like i understand i was very lucky that i even grew up in a household with a pc and because of that i was able to then start creating and learning how to make videos not very well but i was still doing it

Yeah, you got your early reps in.

Exactly.

Like, now the bar's dropped even lower, and now we're kind of entering a space where, cool, it feels like the trajectory of where tech is going right now is to this kind of, like, cloud compute infrastructure.

Well, then suddenly, now it's not a question of, like, okay, well, how much compute can you personally afford in your own house?

It's now a question of, like, well, do you have a device and are able to connect to the internet?

What was it before?

We also egged you on throughout that entire thing.

Cool.

So let's go very binary from my early days.

It was when it was me in my bedroom.

It was lots of pieces of paper and post-it notes around me.

I was the post-it note king back then.

I'd have a stack of post-it notes next to my bedside table.

Every time I got an idea, I'd scribble it down and slap up on the wall as I was half asleep.

That annoyingly

was always my best time to come up with ideas as I was like drifting off to sleep and I'd have to force wake myself up just to store them.
