I want to back up for a minute.

What does it feel like here, AI-wise?

I mean, all the rest of us here about AI is, oh, my God, data centers and power and water and all those things, chat GPT and blah, blah, blah.

What does it feel like here in Silicon Valley?

We passed a couple of those billboards literally just outside the airport for both biggies like Google Gemini and for smaller companies neither Megan nor I had ever heard of.

Sorry, so let's back up.

You grew up here, which I did not know.

I probably should have, but I didn't.

So you were here, not that you're necessarily old enough to remember this, you were here in the dot-com box.

So is it that yet for AI here?

Because during the dot-com bust, it was obviously bad here.

I was here as well.

And so, you know, I've got some history, but not like you do.

But...

The dot-com bust being bad makes sense, but we're in the middle of the bubble of AI, man.

Right.

Where are we going?

What are we doing?

We should say here, by the way, you're not driving as we're talking.

Other people are driving.
