They're going to get a better IPO.

I'm so tired of it.

Can we talk about AI as like a normal technology that produces, can be used in specific products?

If I told you five years ago, I have a new computer-aided math solving tool that's really sweeping through math and is really opening up all sorts of types of problems we weren't able to solve before and mathematicians are excited about it, you would lose negative 5%

you know, minutes of sleep about that.

You'd be like, that's kind of cool.

I'm not a nerd.

And you would move on with your life.

And yet that exact same announcement today, because it's placed in this manichean formalism or framework makes people be like, Oh God, I guess I got to be doing the Sarah Connor pull-ups on my jail cell so that I'm ready to fight the robots when they attack.

So that's just what I want to say.

I'm exhausted about this discourse.

Can we just treat AI like a normal technology and allow math nerds like me to say, this is a cool tool.

I can't wait to,

to use it.

And that's how we should be thinking about much more of what's happening with AI.

Nothing terrible just happened.

This is only good news.

It's narrower than you think.

You're not a mathematician.
