It's a societal crisis that we are creating. And it's not like it'll instantly go away. But if we can just delay the onset. of the kind of maniacal phone use, we can allow kids to have some semblance of a childhood. And I just don't see how that's a, you know, progressive view or a conservative view. It's just a kind of common sense.

If you're a parent, you kind of run up to me at the airport or in the, you know, in the Safeway in Honolulu and go, oh, my God, thank you so much for this.

I think there are tremendous opportunities with AI. And I mean, you know, I sort of have to do the throat clearing talking about how much how big the electricity needs are going to be for AI, right? So they are going to need lots of new generation. It's unclear in the short run whether or not we're going to be able to provide that generation with clean energy. So that's that.

But you're right that so much of what happens as we try to integrate, you know, increasing percentages of clean energy, which is sometimes intermittent onto the grid, is that it's sorting, right?

I've been in the Hawaiian electric control room and yeah, they have some good technology, but they're still like dudes with switches and communicating on the phone and they're using increasingly high quality tech, including AI, but eventually we should just know where the electrons are and have it automated where it goes. And that's what people meant by a smart grid

And those are the kinds of things that can be automated. And we can generate tons and tons and tons of savings. The other thing we can do, they always talk about megawatts of clean energy. The lowest hanging fruit economically is what they call the megawatt. It's energy not consumed, right? And AI can find where you're wasting energy.

and help you to not waste that energy without any, you know, diminishment of the kind of service that you're getting. And so AI has got lots of potential. I think we've got to be, you know, vigilant about what it's going to do to employment in particular. and the creative arts and the creative acts in particular.
