And, you know, we continue to do new things with Read AI.
Probably one of the funniest ones was the number of different
press outlets that asked, we'd like to do an interview with Read AI.
Oh my gosh.
It was like, oh, that's interesting.
Cool.
Not only that I speak English, but also people most emotionally resonate with content that's in languages that they are native to.
And so most people are native one language.
Sometimes they're native a couple, but it's within the languages they're native to, which roughly means languages they learned complete fluency before they were 12 for the vast majority of people.
It's a human connection.
If the person says, oh, I'm hearing this in Chinese, it's warmer, it's smarter, it's more engaging, et cetera, if Chinese is my native language.
Well, one of the things that's a great way to look foolish in the future is to make overly specific predictions.
Partially because, you know, the usual principle I use to say in this is the future is sooner and stranger than you think.
And so, you know, people thought in the 80s we're going to get AI, but we didn't get AI.
We got the Internet.
We got mobile phone.
Well, maybe now we're going to get AI.
I mean, you know, we're going to get what shape of AI is the interesting question.
And so if you said, you know...
What I think is kind of the minimum guarantee is there's going to be like, as opposed to like computer interfaces or phone interfaces or else, we're going to have agents.
