Like you just made the wrong decision in your absence and you came back and said, we're going to do this again?

Jamie actually talked a lot about searching for dogs in this context, because one of the reasons he was so excited to come back to Ring was to use AI to search through the massive amounts of video generated by Ring cameras.

In fact, he told me that Ring could not have built Dog Search five years ago, because AI systems to do it weren't available.

Jimmy is nothing if not direct about this, which I appreciate.

The man really thinks you can use AI in cameras to reduce or even eliminate crime.

But I had a lot of questions about this.

Mechanically walk people through what you mean.

you put enough ring products in a neighborhood and then AI does what to them that helps you get closer to the mission of zero crime?

Can I just ask you a question about that neighborhood specifically?

Do you ever stop and consider that that neighborhood might suck?

Right, just like the idea that every house on my street would have all-knowing private security guards, and I would have an HOA, and that HOA would have a private security force.

You can easily paint that to dystopia, right?

Like everyone's so afraid.

that we have private cops in every corner and I'm paying HOA fees, which is just a nightmare of its own.

I would assume you live in a safe neighborhood.

I hope so, yeah.

The model is everybody is so afraid that they have private cops is-

I just wanted to challenge the premise that like, no, I think it's a, it's a model is there's cops everywhere, right?

Like that level.

There's a lot of intelligence in your neighborhood.
