We need, like you said, it's like, I hate this just like sterile, you know, boring, bland, sleek.

Oh, boy.

I saw a funny Turner Novak tweet this morning, who's a VC, and he said, VCs who invested in Allbirds all quietly adding the logo back to their website today after its pivot to AI.

I'll say like a bad week, I guess, is the Democrats.

Like they really cannot get it together with AI.

And they seem just to completely be on the back foot over and over again.

And there was this Axios story about how the DNC is preventing...

staffers from using AI.

They can't use ChatGPT.

They can't use Claude.

They do allow them to use Gemini to code, which is hilarious because it's the worst out of all of them.

And, you know, it's like I just I feel like the Republicans are just like running circles around them in terms of tech policy.

And this Axios report I thought was so damning.

And they're just they're just they seem like they're on the losing end of this sort of issue.

Yes, yes.

But wait, let's be clear.

What they were doing is like a fraction of what any record label does.

This is just music marketing.

And everyone is like the nefarious kind of framing around this one indie band.

It was like, if you think this is bad, please go investigate what Universal Music is up to because they are.
