And Chris and I would be going to these retreats together for the Teal Fellowship every, you know, three to six months.

And I remember one of 'em, Chris had been working on some cool like Haskell three D generation stuff, and it was all a bit like out there and not clear how it'd be productized at some point

He was just like deep learning, neural nuts.

This is the future of everything.

And I remember him um sitting down with me.

We were at like a wooden table outside in some like Santa Cruz, you know, nature setting.

And he's on the Wi-Fi, which is super slow, connecting to AWS.

And he's like, Look at this.

I can go on AWS and I can spin this up and I can train this like.

tiny neural net to classify, you know, head-written digits.

I'm like, Chris, this is like a solved computer vision problem.

Like, why are you excited?

And he's like, no, you don't get it.

It's a neural net and there's like hyperparameters I can tweak them.

I think I can actually make, you know, another neural net to like figure out how to tweak the hyperparameters.

And I'm like, uh that's all great, but like this is a solved problem.

And I I lacked the vision at that point to see where it was going.

And uh

But it started to get me to pay more attention.

And then uh watching his work when he was at Google, some of the great blog posts he was doing, as well as starting to listen in on more of people around me and the conversations that were happening around AI and machine learning got me more and more excited about where this might go.
