It seems like forever ago, yes.

Well, first of all, Cara, it's great to be here. Great to see everybody in the audience. I like talking about chips. You're going to see that from me.

I started in the chip industry. I mean, I'm going to date myself, but I've been in the chip industry for 30 years. And back when I went to school, chips were not exciting. Why did you do it? You were at MIT. I was at MIT. It was cool at MIT, but okay. It wasn't even that cool. It was sort of cool at MIT, but not like amazingly cool. All right.

But, you know, it's the idea that hard, like I like hardware. I like to build things. And so the idea of chips, you know, these are the brains of computers. And at that time they were small computers. Now they're very, very big computers. I really enjoyed. But at the time, you know, a lot of people were like, hey, software, that's a much more exciting field. So it's kind of,

foundational to say that right now chips are really, you know, sort of the underpinnings of this entire tech community, you know, where AI is going. And, you know, that's one of the things that I do feel very fortunate about, that I'm in an industry that makes, you know, that much of a difference. Now back to, you know, how do I think about these things? I mean,

You've seen these technology arcs, Cara. They go in waves, you know, let's call it tenure waves. And you saw that when the internet came out and then you saw that when PCs came out and then when the cloud came out. And AI is like one of those waves. But, you know, I would say that it's probably the biggest wave that I've seen in my career because it has so much potential.

So, yeah, that chat GPT moment was a very special moment. Why was that? You know, AI has been around for a long, long time. But what was true about it is it was sort of so hard to use because not everyone had access to AI. And what that chat GPT moment unlocked was that, wow, Now everybody can interact with AI.

Like my dad can interact with AI because you're using spoken language, you're using text, you're using a way of expressing how do you get a computer to do things without having to have deep knowledge of programming languages and things like that. I think that moment just unlocked the fact that if we can make computers easier to use,
