Who are you?

How did you get to Snowfire?

So that is the most important part I think people don't understand is AI is only as good as the mapping to the data layers, basically.

You said something to me once that had a profound impact on the way that I viewed AI, and that was

I think we were talking, there was an article I read where I'm like, yeah, it's looking like intelligence is becoming obsolete.

Everyone's going to have access to the same level of intelligence through AI.

So what's going to separate one smart kid from one that's not?

And the answer was creativity.

And that was the article.

And you're like, Kirk, the future belongs to those that ask the best questions to their AI.

And I thought that was a really incredible statement, right?

So I think right now there's people that are scared to death of AI and they don't understand AI.

I would be too, actually, if I wasn't an industry person.

If I didn't understand what I know, I would probably be just as skeptical standing on the other side.

Who knows?

Maybe I'd be in a NIMBY crowd throwing stones at these things.

But I want to use this time to really unpackage the complications of AI.

And I know that the theme right now that scares the shit out of people on AI is that it's just going to take my job.

And there are a series of white collar jobs that will be blown out.

I mean, look, if you were a horse, if you did horseshoes as a blacksmith and the automobile came around, your job was at risk, right?
