So I think that's been something we've had to wrestle with.
And I've actually done research on it myself to try to understand it better from my point of view.

Oh yeah, I think that the AI boom is, you know, it's a general purpose technology that will diffuse through the economy.
I think the key question is how fast does that actually diffuse and sometimes markets can get ahead of themselves and think it's going to happen sooner.
Sometimes they're too late and it happens faster than markets think, but nevertheless

and try to set up a 50-50 meeting where you would wait and see for the rest of the data to come in.
But I don't think that's where the center of gravity is on the committee.
So he went ahead and leaned in.
