So it's hard to put together a class that says, you know, let's do all of biology one or something.
But it's easier to say, why don't you get trained on this specific workplace thing, how to operate this machine or how to operate this software and so on.
So in some sense, we're better at that kind of training than we are at the traditional schooling.
So, yeah, there's definitely a big opportunity there.
The thing that mitigates against it is, you know, we could spend a lot of investment on making the perfect Biology 1 class because there's going to be millions of students that take it.
But for some of this on-the-job training, you know, maybe...
I'm in a small company, and we do things a specific way, and there might be only five people that need to be trained on it.
And so right now, it's not really cost effective to say, can I build a system that will do that training?
But that's one of the goals, to say, can we make it easier for...
somebody who's not an expert programmer and not an AI expert to say, here's some topic I want to teach and I should be able to go ahead and teach that.
I think that's something that's oddly missing from our standard playbook.
We have these office suites and what do they give you?
They give you word processing and spreadsheets and PowerPoint presentations.
And sure, that's great.
Those are three things that I want.
But I think a lot of people want this.
I want to be able to train somebody on a specific topic more than they want spreadsheets.
But we don't have that yet.
But maybe someday we will.
Maybe that'll be a standard tool that would be available to everyone.
