And in many regards, I think it would be like things with Bloomberg.

They're at centers of an ecosystem.

The ecosystem is highly regulated.

The ecosystem has zero tolerance for fault or error.

The processes you do not only leverage tremendous amounts of proprietary data, so it's not within these models or accessible by the models, but importantly, clients are putting their most sensitive data into these platforms.

And then what you're doing in terms of workflow is highly, highly, highly idiosyncratic and requires this combination of people, process, and technology.

So it's a hard time in this world, in my opinion, to predict what 2050 looks like.

But when you look forward 10 years in our industry,

These platforms, if anything, are going to do more, not less.

And I think what really is going to be unlocked is that users like Joe are going to access these platforms through their own coding tools, but these coding tools are going to be central to those platforms.

I didn't forget your black box comment.

Going back to... You'll never forget.

Going back... No, I think it's... I'm quoting other people.

No, I think it's important.

And I think that technology, 10 or 20 years ago, certain technologies were designed to be closed systems.

You know where I'm going.

Certain technologies were designed to be closed systems.

Aladdin was one of those technologies.

Roughly 10 years ago, we started this Open Aladdin campaign well before anything to do with this round of AI we're in, which was all about the future of technology is going to be some people are going to want to interact with it through a keyboard and a mouse.

And many people are going to want to interact with it through code.
