wouldn't cost that much, right?
A lot of out-of-work journalists right now.
And they've got to have unique content that's out there.
And so they had bureaus around the world that was reporting on what was ever going on.
Then, you know, it would feed that back.
And by the way, what you would then see is you'd have one AI company that would be, and you're already seeing this to some extent, you'd have the liberal one and the conservative one, and they'd all have different opinions.
And by the way, that would then lock us into silos because we're basically all going to subscribe to one or a very small number of these things.
In that world.
And so we get kind of focused and just in our own filter bubbles that are out there.
And then, by the way, if we want something else to just have nightmares over, like the real challenge going forward, I think we can maybe solve the media challenge.
The one I'm the most worried about is what happens to small businesses that are there.

Your agent doesn't care about either of those things.
And so your agent is actually going to bypass the local bodega to figure out where they can get eggs the cheapest or that match whatever your preferences are.
And who might win that in the future is not a bunch of small businesses.
It might be a bunch of very big corporations that are very good at talking to and answering to agents.
And so like, there's a lot of ways this can go wrong.
And in fact, I think the natural tendency is going to be
We have very few AI companies, very few content creators, and very few big companies that solve it.
