I just won't do it, Rory. voice-verified

I won't do the job. voice-verified

Well, look, I'm glad you're having a CFO dinner. voice-verified

I want you to ask them a second question because this is what I hear. voice-verified

This is, and this is the challenge today. voice-verified

The CFO challenge for the first going into summer was my God, these teams spending so much. voice-verified

I I every CFO underbudgeted for tokens. voice-verified

What the hell are they going to do? voice-verified

But the but we didn't go out of business. voice-verified

So that was the that was the discussion of the last scale CFO summit going in tonight. voice-verified

I bet you're going to hear a second conversation, and this is about addiction. voice-verified

Retention. voice-verified

The CFOs I talk to talk about. voice-verified

Nothing but retention, at least the empowered CFOs. voice-verified

They are terrified that our stock price is down and we can't retain employees. voice-verified

They are terrified that the AI leaders have so much stock-based comp, so much other sources of comp that all of their best people are gonna be sucked up by the companies we spent the first two-thirds of this conversation talking about. voice-verified

CFOs are terrified about this because they're often responsible for that KPI, even if they're not doing it. voice-verified

And so voice-verified

There's this massive tension, which is if I don't give these people what they need for AI, I'm gonna lose all of them. voice-verified
