Well, I think it's definitely time for smaller speed boats. And I want to index on that word improvement. Because if we scratch the surface on some of these large models, some of which are generative, you begin to realize that a lot of the claims to improvement and accuracy are based on...

really narrow benchmarks and evaluations right that don't reflect the performance of these models and that's how germans optimize their diesel engines we have exactly um so it's you know there are things that gen ai models can do i don't see them realistically going away but i do see the struggle for a market fit that can produce the kinds of returns necessary to prop up

a massively energy intensive, massively infrastructurally intensive, extraordinarily capital intensive... Mm-hmm. Industry, right? Like, so you have, you know, billions of dollars for a training run, just huge amounts of energy and effort needed to create a model. But like, okay, who's going to keep paying for a chatbot that's wrong? Right?

You know, and so I think like, there is a struggle for market fit. I think you see this with things like Microsoft Recall, where they, you know, push to implement this, you know, I don't know. Yeah. Microsoft Recall was supposed to ship with Windows 11.

Yeah. And we won that little thing. But it's, you know, it's an AI system whose value proposition is that it will remember everything you were doing on your device for the last N months. That's a nice value proposition. I get it for you. I don't, I obviously don't use it right. But like, and how does it remember is really the key here.

It remembers because it's taking screenshots of your device every five seconds, you know, creating a library of those screenshots and accessing those as the data on which it, you know, is able to claim intelligent memory.

And I don't need to know that I was doom scrolling. That's not a proud moment of memory for me. And to me, what that says, that's not a very useful purpose. It's probably going to be marketed to enterprises for worker surveillance, is my guess. But it shows that Microsoft is really trying to find a market for this, right? Because they clearly circumvented their QA process.
