Done, in minutes. Yeah, I mean, it's amazing. And all of us have had these experiences where you suddenly decide, okay, I'll just throw this to AI. I don't really expect it to work. And then you're like, whoa, that actually worked.

Yeah. I mean, I don't really know how to think about it, to be perfectly honest. I don't have like a magical way. I mean, I see I have a kid in high school and middle school and I mean, the AIs are basically already ahead. I mean, obviously there's some things AIs are particularly dumb at, and they make certain mistakes a human would never make.

But generally, if you talk about math or calculus or whatever, they're pretty damn good. They can win math contests and coding contests, things like that, against some top humans. And then I look at... okay, he's, whatever, my son's going to go on to, whatever, from sophomore to junior, and what is he going to learn?

And then I think in my mind, and I talked to him about this, well, what is the AI going to be in one more year? Exactly, exactly. Yeah, and it's not comparable, right?

I don't know if you can plan your life around this. I mean, I didn't particularly... plan my life to be an entrepreneur or whatever. I just liked math and computer science. I guess maybe I got lucky and it worked out to be useful in the world. I guess I think my kids should do what they like.

Hopefully it's somewhat challenging and they can overcome different kinds of problems and things like that.

I mean, it seems like college was already undergoing this kind of revolution even before this sort of AI challenge of people are like, is it worth it? Should I be more vocational? What's actually going to be useful? So we're already kind of entering this kind of situation where there's sort of questions asked about colleges. Yeah, I think, you know, AI obviously puts that at the forefront.

I mean, I think we've acquired and later sold like five or so robotics companies and Boston being one of them. I guess if I look back on it, we built the hardware. We also had this more recently, we built out everyday robotics products. internally and then later had to transition that. You know, the robots are all cool and all, but the software wasn't quite there.

That's every time we've tried to do it to make them truly useful. And presumably one of these days that'll no longer be true.

I'm probably the one weirdo who doesn't, who's not a big fan of humanoids. But maybe I'm jaded because we've at least acquired at least two humanoid robotic startups and later sold them. But the reason people want to do humanoid robots for the most part is because the world is kind of designed around this form factor. And you can train on YouTube, you can train on videos, people do all the things.
