And I think I would just, and I think I actually, now that you asked me this question, I'm going to probably do more.

Oh, good.

I would really like to spend time because the AI is a function of the human.

The AI is there to make the human better.

It's to make the human more powerful.

It's to learn the things that the human does so a human can do something that only humans could do.

And I think for us, learning from our customers more hands-on will actually help us make things better for our customers and will help us obviously make a better product.

I don't think companies and people are more productive working by themselves at their houses.

Really unified data.

AI software used to be about the viewer level layer, which is how you experience workflow UI.

It used to be about the controller, which is the logic.

And then you've got the model, which is the data.

But the AI experience, chat, talking to AI, that's going to be the new viewer layer.

AI orchestration is going to be the new controller and it's all going to come back to the data you have.

So having really unified data, data that actually is not just lots of data, but data that's really connected and understands each other and ways to access that data is really what's going to give people the biggest advantage in the world of AI.

Basically, it's a book about... Compares cities and biology.

Like, why do cities last forever and get better?

And then why do all things, like, alive sort of die?

But it really is a book about scale and systems and how... There's an interesting paradigm which cities...

just get bigger and better over time.
