you know, you don't see those anymore.

And, you know, if you even look at what happened with like the millennial generation in the last, you know, in the last five years, especially during the pandemic, suddenly bread making and sourdough, that became a thing.

What's the difference?

You know, you've got bread, it's warm.

It's, you know, with the bread maker, it's fresh.

And it is not at all desired relative to bread that takes a long period of time and is tactile and in the process and the making of it.

And, you know,

you know, is clearly much more onerous than the other in its process of development.

I think the key part is it's in the appreciation of the bread, the process is part of it.

And that process is development of sort of the germane knowledge and the commitment and connection to that humanness of development, but also the tactile commitment, the work that went into it is really appreciated in the same way that that peach pie for...

one, comes with that whole time series of data that wasn't just about my taste, but was also smell, also physical, also visual, and saw the process evolve and build a different prior going into that experience.

And that is, I think, part of richness of human experience.

Will it be part of

The richness of how humans interact with AI?

Absolutely.

Or interact with robots?

Absolutely.

So it's what are the relationships we're building and how are they, you know, how integrated are these tools, these, you know, companions, whatever they may be in our existence will shape us in different ways.

What I am particularly, I guess, bullish on and excited for is the robot that optimizes my health, my comfort, my intent in my environment, be it in the cabin of a car, be it in my rooms, my spaces.

And I think we already have some of these.
