Yeah.

So let's do a hypothetical.

I want to run for mayor of Springfield against the incumbent mayor Quimby.

And I think that the key issue that I really care about is I want to put free root beer in all the water fountains.

I want to know if that's popular.

So if I was a traditional campaign, I'd go hire a pollster and we'd ask 500 people in Springfield, how do you feel about free root beer in the water fountains?

Would you be more likely to vote for a candidate who put free root beer in the water fountains?

How does what you do, how do you accomplish the task to say that's a good issue to run on against Mayor Quimby?

is that that's going to be faster than doing a poll?

It's going to be cheaper.

It's going to be cheaper.

Is it definitely more accurate?

For instance, how do you know who a likely voter is?

I know that polling attempt to find likely voter is a flawed process, but they're at least trying.

Are you able to figure out, I want only the public sentiment to be measured amongst likely voters.

Are you able to say what you're doing for Steve Hilton running for governor of California?

What are you providing for him that a traditional consultant or strategist couldn't do?

As you deal, again, to harken back to the themes I talked about in the beginning of the show, as you deal with the civilians in your life, family members, friends, who don't have AI on the brain, who don't understand it, who don't use it in anything but to do Google searches, what's your posture towards them?

Are you trying to bring them into the present and future, or are you just hovering, saying, you're just waiting them out until they figure it out?

Yeah.
