Every single part of that show after the moment the mic starts has been, you know, very, very well thought through. Yesterday's event was the highest risk event I've ever done. Bar none. Really? And that was, yeah, bar none.

Because, you know, when you're basically doing hardware, you have fallbacks. You know, the demos aren't, they're not live, but you always can just go to the hardware. When you're reinventing or kind of re-architecting an entire service, there's no backup. It was the product. I think the only product video we had, like actual video, was the kids portion.

Because, you know, honestly, you're not kids in the audience. So sharing a kid's feature without some emotion is a waste of time. It's like, here's a kid's feature. Please write about it. So putting a little bit of emotion and storytelling in it, those were all real demos that all really happened. That was one of the principles of the event.

It wasn't like, let's go make up a fake story and let's see what, you know, we'll just put, you know, film in. That was the one area where it was just a, you know, it was like a, it wasn't a vision piece. It was the product, but it was the only area that wasn't live.

It seems easy, you know, put a voice to the LLM, let the LLM talk or, you know, TTS, bring it out, bring out the voice, you know, or if it's speech to speech, it doesn't matter which tech. If you want the elements of connecting to thousands of, and you know, I'm speaking for Alexa.
