some of this technology that has been evolving for the past 10 something years, machine learning, it was the buzzword.

I don't think it had quite as much of a reaction as AI, but a lot of this is some of the same similar foundational technologies.

I think

There were a lot of features that I've come to rely on and love from machine learning, whether that's automatic transcription when I'm doing an interview, I just hit record and afterwards everything's already typed up.

And I obviously vet and make sure it still sounds accurate and everything is there.

But, you know, it sure as hell beats having to retype everything and listen to the whole recording again.

Right.

So there's things like that that have evolved over the past few years that I think AI is polishing and offering some of these capabilities that are genuinely

Useful, for example, Google Lens, I think, is one of my most favorite features where, you know, my dad even uses it, where he goes to like a tree and he's like, what tree is this?

And he'll be like, cool, it's this one, right?

And that's all using machine learning.

And I've used Google Lens countless times to identify my wife uses it.

And the evolution of that is sort of the same thing that's through Google's Gemini glasses, for example.

You know, you take a picture and you say, hey, what is that?

When I did the demo with the Google glasses this past two weeks ago,

I sat next to a board game.

It was Chinese checkers.

I just asked Google the glasses, hey, what is this board game?

And it told me, oh, it's Chinese checkers.

And it sort of gave me a little history about it.
