And whatever motivates you, whether the fear of Nikesh asking you three days again what you did, or your sort of inherent learning ambition, or it's your team pushing you, you will show up with something.

And then you'll see what the other guys are doing.

You'll say, oh my God, I'm doing a lot or I'm not doing enough.

So it creates a little bit of Darwinian competition amongst them.

It creates this urge to go embrace this new technology.

And I think hopefully I get 14 people fully motivated and then they go do that to the next set of people.

Because I need to transform from the top down, not from the bottom up on this topic.

There's a bottom up experimentation, of course, right?

People using tokens to see who's really good at it.

That allows me to find the best talent.

So you've got to find a way of transforming 20,000 people over the next few years in that direction.

Okay.

What is true is we've only been chasing the enterprise dream for AI for the last 12 months at best.

It's like, oh my God, I got to figure out agents.

I'm going to start working internally.

Agent's going to do a lot of stuff.

I'm pretty sure you could still have a agent fest and have everybody tell you what an agent is.
