I must check out the poets in Sigtagil because I saw the headline, but my relationship with the Catholic Church isn't a particularly healthy one, so I skipped over it.

Yeah, well, I offered an opinion which was a little bit different than yours.

I don't know, did you see my response to it?

I did not, I'm sorry.

Yeah, I basically said that, I don't know, I don't want to give too much away here, but I was saying that the market for investment professionals is still very strong in Dublin.

And obviously, there are the big investment firms that still seem to be holding or maintaining staff levels.

But

financial brokers out there, you know, they're still hiring people as well because I think at the end of the day, for something as personal as investment advice, I still think people will do want and will continue to want to deal with an individual.

Because it's all about customer service.

It's about basically holding investors' hands during difficult periods.

I'm just not sure AI can actually do that.

But anyway, that was the advice I gave him, subject to the caveat that we haven't a clue.

Absolutely.

It is extraordinary.

And in fairness, what the climate scientists have been predicting, you know, it is coming to pass more rapidly than they would have expected or anyone else would have expected.

But I did a CPD seminar in London last week and

I was talking to the organizer and she typically brings in, you know, every month or I think it's every month they do a podcast, CPT webinar, excuse me, for their members and people talking about AI.

I talk about the economy and markets and stuff.

But she was saying that when they have people in talking about climate change, that that's when they get the negative reaction from some of their members who are obviously climate change deniers.

It's still extraordinary that those people do not recognise what's happening.
