You mentioned I've been a guitar player all my life.

One of the best parts about that job is they were all fantastic musicians.

So we'd do these company events and we'd play all the time.

And these guys were so, and they were mostly men, were so good.

But then we had the data scientists also.

And they would take the work that the musicologists did and create their machine learning algorithms around that.

And each of the algorithms they had, I can't remember now, 90 or so algorithms, each one would get tuned for every individual listener.

So it would be weighted a little bit more.

Jordy likes this.

John's like this.

And so it creates a personalized experience.

And to me, I still listen to Pandora.

I also listen to Spotify.

But when I want something just to put something on and let it play, I'll go to Pandora because I think those algorithms still outperform.

You know, the media industry has a history of not changing quickly enough.

And you can start with the music industry.

Recorded music industry peaked in 1999.

And then Napster.

Yeah, and recorded music industry.

So vinyl records, so that's an interesting trend to talk about.
