I'm also like, I think the bigger questions I have for next year is really around some of the like ethical undercurrent components of this.

As AI continues to get woven into our infrastructure as a whole, I think data ownership is a big conversation that has been a key topic.

And I think we've had lots of AI data ethicists talk.

on the stage, but I think we're going to have to really, really make some definitive decisions around like who owns the data, who's going to benefit from the efficiencies, how do we ensure that these technologies are actually going to serve communities, not just corporations, right?

And so I think that like maybe 2026 can be this year where we start to balance more of the innovation side with integrity.

But also like when these companies have so much freaking money and all these companies are emerging and there's like these global superpowers.

Right.

How do we create those checks and balances?

I love this because it kind of touches on this idea of the future of work and opportunity and how we solve problems and particularly around infrastructure on a global scale, not just here in the States.

We need building, but also I think an upgrade.

Right.

And so one of the shows that I got a chance to do this past year covered Jason Huang's talk about

where he talked about unlocking clean energy and just that we're still using, you know, century-year-old technology in terms of our grid.

And so we're not even delivering the energy that we currently have as efficiently as we could, right?

And so we could be advancing these tools to deliver energy and power much more efficiently, especially as we're looking at now, like energy costs have gone through the roof for millions of Americans.

I think what was the latest data was like 30% higher, right?

particularly as a result of these new data centers and what have you.

I even talked about in an episode, I have a home in Atlanta and for like months, the power would go out for like a few hours every single day.

It was the most annoying thing.

It was like in the entire neighborhood.
