Here's an interesting thing, right?
Which is one of the analogies they use is just imagine how a multinational corporation like us
did forecasts pre-PC and email and spreadsheets, right?
I mean, faxes went around.
Somebody then got those faxes and then did an inter-office memo that then went around and people entered numbers and then ultimately a forecast came maybe just in time for the next quarter.
Then somebody said, hey, I'm just going to take an Excel spreadsheet, put it in email, send it around, people will go edit it and I'll have a forecast.
So the entire forecasting business process changed because the work, the work artifact and the workflow changed.
That is what needs to happen with AI being introduced into knowledge work.

The fundamental thing is there's a new work and workflow.

You know, I go to my co-pilot and I say, hey, I'm going to talk to Dvarkesh about, you know, our quantum announcement and this new, you know, model that we built for game generation.
And just kind of give me, like, a summary of all the stuff that I should read up before going.
Right.
