That's it, exactly.

We need to write new stories about what we want things to look like and why why we want them and that's what it's all about, basically.

But also hurrah.

It is boo but also hurrah, I think.

And let's let's just put aside all the stuff that we loathe and and and sort of actively despair about AI or the slop and everything.

There are loads of positives.

And the first one I want to pick out is maths, right?

Math math you speak to mathematicians, they are freaking out.

It no AI in maths is the biggest thing

in all of mathematical history, the biggest thing since the invention of zero, uh since algebra, it's it's really changing all of maths.

Uh it's opening up whole new fields of um discovery for mathematicians, so it's completely changing that.

But it's loads more as well, right?

We we talked about batteries a little bit, right?

AI will be able to optimise how batteries um first how they're made, but then a also how they're how how they're used to store electricity.

And that once we'd once we do that properly on scale, that will be an absolute game changer because you know, you can

Then store energy, like really, really effectively.

Going back to 2016, DeepMind wrote an algorithm to like look into how Google were cooling their data centers.

And the AI just said, no, you're doing it all wrong, let's do it like this.

And they saved 40% of energy going into the data centers.

So AI can can just cut, make us much more efficient in loads of things.
