I don't We don't have many electric don't We don't have many electric don't We don't have many electric guitars to start off with today, unless guitars to start off with today, unless guitars to start off with today, unless Pete pulls out. Pete pulls out. Pete pulls out. >> Would have known. I'm actually not I'm >> Would have known. I'm actually not I'm >> Would have known. I'm actually not I'm not really hooked up for it. Otherwise, not really hooked up for it. Otherwise, not really hooked up for it. Otherwise, I wouldn't.

  2. I wouldn't. I wouldn't. >> You're not hooked up for it? Oh, man. >> You're not hooked up for it? Oh, man. >> You're not hooked up for it?

I >> Have you guys heard about Nvidia? I >> Have you guys heard about Nvidia? I mean, what was Intel and AMD? Have you mean, what was Intel and AMD? Have you mean, what was Intel and AMD? Have you heard about Nvidia? I mean, it's heard about Nvidia? I mean, it's heard about Nvidia? I mean, it's >> I don't know who those guys are. Yeah, I >> I don't know who those guys are. Yeah, I >> I don't know who those guys are. Yeah, I think I think I bought an Nvidia think I think I bought an Nvidia think I think I bought an Nvidia graphics card in the 90s. Is that what graphics card in the 90s. Is that what graphics card in the 90s. Is that what is that who you're talking about? Or >> PCs and I found this. >> PCs and I found this. >> Wow, look at that. >> Wow, look at that. >> Wow, look at that. >> That just got real. I love that. >> That just got real. I love that. >> That just got real. I love that. >> Well, I mean, it's an actually GeForce >> Well, I mean, it's an actually GeForce >> Well, I mean, it's an actually GeForce 9800 GT.

  3. 9800 GT. 9800 GT. >> Outstanding. >> Outstanding. >> Outstanding. >> Well, it's an interesting comment >> Well, it's an interesting comment >> Well, it's an interesting comment >> back then. >> back then. >> back then. >> Yeah, >> Yeah, >> Yeah, >> you could have thought that, you know, >> you could have thought that, you know, >> you could have thought that, you know, the gaming industry will die and Nvidia the gaming industry will die and Nvidia the gaming industry will die and Nvidia will die. Then the Bitcoin mining will will die. Then the Bitcoin mining will will die. Then the Bitcoin mining will die and Nvidia will die. Maybe AI will die and Nvidia will die. Maybe AI will die and Nvidia will die. Maybe AI will die and Nvidia will die. [laughter] They die and Nvidia will die. [laughter] They die and Nvidia will die. [laughter] They never know. [snorts] never know. [snorts] never know. [snorts] >> Who knows? It's actually a great >> Who knows? It's actually a great >> Who knows? It's actually a great pivoting strategy, pivoting strategy, pivoting strategy, >> you know, a blast in the past. So, old >> you know, a blast in the past. So, old >> you know, a blast in the past. So, old video cards. Does any remember something video cards. Does any remember something video cards. Does any remember something called Visa Local Bus or Visa Local Bus? called Visa Local Bus or Visa Local Bus? called Visa Local Bus or Visa Local Bus? >> Visa Local Bus. Sure. >> Visa Local Bus. Sure. >> Visa Local Bus. Sure. >> Do you remember that? That was like a >> Do you remember that? That was like a >> Do you remember that? That was like a thing. I remember that. I remember thing. I remember that. I remember thing. I remember that. I remember >> back with uh 3DFX and uh >> back with uh 3DFX and uh >> back with uh 3DFX and uh >> Yeah. All these guys. And then DirectX >> Yeah. All these guys. And then DirectX >> Yeah. All these guys. And then DirectX came on the scene, OpenGL. Like it used came on the scene, OpenGL. Like it used came on the scene, OpenGL. Like it used to be the Wild West. Remember to be the Wild West. Remember to be the Wild West. Remember >> it was the Wild West. games had to be >> it was the Wild West. games had to be >> it was the Wild West. games had to be ported for specific >> you know it took a while for Windows >> you know it took a while for Windows everybody just is you know oh Windows everybody just is you know oh Windows everybody just is you know oh Windows and gaming you know and obviously that's and gaming you know and obviously that's and gaming you know and obviously that's that's helped Windows stay relevant in a that's helped Windows stay relevant in a that's helped Windows stay relevant in a world where more and more people are world where more and more people are world where more and more people are using a Mac but um but if you go further using a Mac but um but if you go further using a Mac but um but if you go further back you know it was not certain that we back you know it was not certain that we back you know it was not certain that we were the DOSs games dominated the world were the DOSs games dominated the world were the DOSs games dominated the world at that time back then and the reason is at that time back then and the reason is at that time back then and the reason is cuz DOSS games can write right to the cuz DOSS games can write right to the cuz DOSS games can write right to the frame buffer and everything like you frame buffer and everything like you frame buffer and everything like you could do anything in DOSs which is weird could do anything in DOSs which is weird could do anything in DOSs which is weird that I'm saying this. Um, and so when that I'm saying this. Um, and so when that I'm saying this. Um, and so when the big change was when Windows 95 the big change was when Windows 95 the big change was when Windows 95 launched and they I remember they gave

  4. launched and they I remember they gave launched and they I remember they gave us a pinball game and people were trying us a pinball game and people were trying us a pinball game and people were trying to build games for it, but but you're to build games for it, but but you're to build games for it, but but you're right Pete, you couldn't get that right Pete, you couldn't get that right Pete, you couldn't get that performance that DOSs performance and performance that DOSs performance and performance that DOSs performance and graphics until we until Direct X had graphics until we until Direct X had graphics until we until Direct X had their own special drivers and then the their own special drivers and then the their own special drivers and then the game developers. It was almost like the game developers. It was almost like the game developers. It was almost like the console wars, right? It was like this console wars, right? It was like this console wars, right? It was like this game's only available on this card, you game's only available on this card, you game's only available on this card, you know? know? know? >> Yeah. Oh, yes. Right. [snorts] >> Yeah. Oh, yes. Right. [snorts] >> Yeah. Oh, yes. Right. [snorts] that that was actually that that was actually that that was actually >> each other >> each other >> each other >> and that was the day where the Watcom C >> and that was the day where the Watcom C >> and that was the day where the Watcom C was very popular because it allow you to was very popular because it allow you to was very popular because it allow you to go very easily lower level in the DOS go very easily lower level in the DOS go very easily lower level in the DOS operating system and and Doom was built operating system and and Doom was built operating system and and Doom was built with Watcom C with Watcom C with Watcom C >> and I know that Watcom was a Canadian >> and I know that Watcom was a Canadian >> and I know that Watcom was a Canadian company out of one of the university in company out of one of the university in company out of one of the university in Waterloo was also Waterloo was also Waterloo was also >> I remember them >> I remember them >> I remember them >> they were also the creator of Watcom SQL >> they were also the creator of Watcom SQL >> they were also the creator of Watcom SQL which which which >> which was uh initially uh uh embedded uh >> which was uh initially uh uh embedded uh >> which was uh initially uh uh embedded uh by powersoft that kind of default by powersoft that kind of default by powersoft that kind of default database for a development tool database for a development tool database for a development tool >> and it became so popular that power >> and it became so popular that power >> and it became so popular that power ended up buying what comes SQL and that ended up buying what comes SQL and that ended up buying what comes SQL and that became the became the became the >> the the SQL technology that then went >> the the SQL technology that then went >> the the SQL technology that then went back into cybase and ended up being the back into cybase and ended up being the back into cybase and ended up being the mobile SQL database. So mobile SQL database. So mobile SQL database. So >> we're very very old here. Well, but also >> we're very very old here. Well, but also >> we're very very old here. Well, but also if you remember an interesting blast if you remember an interesting blast if you remember an interesting blast from the past too is that so that we had from the past too is that so that we had from the past too is that so that we had this chaos where everyone was coming out this chaos where everyone was coming out this chaos where everyone was coming out with new and faster graphics chips for with new and faster graphics chips for with new and faster graphics chips for gaming and convincing game developers to gaming and convincing game developers to gaming and convincing game developers to port to their chips and then OpenGL port to their chips and then OpenGL port to their chips and then OpenGL arrived arrived arrived >> and John Carmarmac who created Doom >> and John Carmarmac who created Doom >> and John Carmarmac who created Doom which was the which was the which was the >> Sinquanon Sinuan

  5. >> Sinquanon Sinuan >> Sinquanon Sinuan >> uh said I'm going to support OpenGL >> uh said I'm going to support OpenGL >> uh said I'm going to support OpenGL supporting open that means Yeah. What is supporting open that means Yeah. What is supporting open that means Yeah. What is that? that? that? >> So, so he uh so he decided I'm going to >> So, so he uh so he decided I'm going to >> So, so he uh so he decided I'm going to put this thing on OpenGL and that was put this thing on OpenGL and that was put this thing on OpenGL and that was the moment when OpenGL became the moment when OpenGL became the moment when OpenGL became >> sort of the new um kind of hardware >> sort of the new um kind of hardware >> sort of the new um kind of hardware acceleration direct hardware access acceleration direct hardware access acceleration direct hardware access standard and one of the first companies standard and one of the first companies standard and one of the first companies to accept to adopt OpenGL was fill in to accept to adopt OpenGL was fill in to accept to adopt OpenGL was fill in the blank Nvidia. the blank Nvidia. the blank Nvidia. >> Nvidia >> Nvidia >> Nvidia >> Nvidia I guess most of >> Nvidia I guess most of >> Nvidia I guess most of >> they kind of leapt to the front because >> they kind of leapt to the front because >> they kind of leapt to the front because they adopted OpenGL with Carmarmac. they adopted OpenGL with Carmarmac. they adopted OpenGL with Carmarmac. >> Yeah. I kind of made that made OpenGL >> Yeah. I kind of made that made OpenGL >> Yeah. I kind of made that made OpenGL what it was. So what it was. So what it was. So >> had Nvidia and what ATI like in the >> had Nvidia and what ATI like in the >> had Nvidia and what ATI like in the graphics card warrants. graphics card warrants. graphics card warrants. >> Um and that's how many of us knew early >> Um and that's how many of us knew early >> Um and that's how many of us knew early on that Dr. Lisa Sue and her gang over on that Dr. Lisa Sue and her gang over on that Dr. Lisa Sue and her gang over at AMD would be a second place at AMD would be a second place at AMD would be a second place contestant in the AI acceleration race. contestant in the AI acceleration race. contestant in the AI acceleration race. And we knew it early on and we predicted And we knew it early on and we predicted And we knew it early on and we predicted it because we knew they acquired ATI a it because we knew they acquired ATI a it because we knew they acquired ATI a long time ago. And so that gave them long time ago. And so that gave them long time ago. And so that gave them that graphics card GPU capability that that graphics card GPU capability that that graphics card GPU capability that all the other players didn't have except all the other players didn't have except all the other players didn't have except for for for >> Speaking of great Canadian companies, >> Speaking of great Canadian companies, >> Speaking of great Canadian companies, ETR, great Canadian company.

  6. ETR, great Canadian company. ETR, great Canadian company. >> There you go. Wow. Wow. >> There you go. Wow. Wow. >> There you go. Wow. Wow. >> So there you go.

Um really actually really interesting Um really actually really interesting Um really actually really interesting startup. Uh the founder spent some time startup. Uh the founder spent some time startup. Uh the founder spent some time at Microsoft actually. He didn't overlap at Microsoft actually. He didn't overlap at Microsoft actually. He didn't overlap with either of us. We' already left. Um with either of us. We' already left. Um with either of us. We' already left. Um they he was part of an an acquisition of they he was part of an an acquisition of they he was part of an an acquisition of a company called Bonsai. Anyway, he a company called Bonsai. Anyway, he a company called Bonsai. Anyway, he started Mesa about three years ago. Um, started Mesa about three years ago. Um, started Mesa about three years ago. Um, and it's essentially a platform which and it's essentially a platform which and it's essentially a platform which allows you to um, uh, improve your data, allows you to um, uh, improve your data, allows you to um, uh, improve your data, build a full realistic simulated build a full realistic simulated build a full realistic simulated environment, create AI agents in a noode environment, create AI agents in a noode environment, create AI agents in a noode environment, um, train those agents environment, um, train those agents environment, um, train those agents using deep reinforcement learning on using deep reinforcement learning on using deep reinforcement learning on that synthetic data set, um, deploy that synthetic data set, um, deploy that synthetic data set, um, deploy those agents into a live production those agents into a live production those agents into a live production environment, orchestrate teams of environment, orchestrate teams of environment, orchestrate teams of agents, and it's kind of a couple really agents, and it's kind of a couple really agents, and it's kind of a couple really novel ideas. Um, one the kind of syn the novel ideas. Um, one the kind of syn the novel ideas. Um, one the kind of syn the building of a synthetic data set works building of a synthetic data set works building of a synthetic data set works really well in kind of closed loop really well in kind of closed loop really well in kind of closed loop environments. So manufacturing environments. So manufacturing environments. So manufacturing environments where you basically know environments where you basically know environments where you basically know all the variables not out in the real all the variables not out in the real all the variables not out in the real world where you know wind and sun and world where you know wind and sun and world where you know wind and sun and temperature and stuff like that changes temperature and stuff like that changes temperature and stuff like that changes that the method using used to do that is that the method using used to do that is that the method using used to do that is is really interesting and then just the is really interesting and then just the is really interesting and then just the thought process about how you think thought process about how you think thought process about how you think about segmenting tasks to build AI

  7. about segmenting tasks to build AI about segmenting tasks to build AI agents. So super interesting how company agents. So super interesting how company agents. So super interesting how company um small team um early days startup you um small team um early days startup you um small team um early days startup you know um pre- series A so running around know um pre- series A so running around know um pre- series A so running around like crazy with our heads on fire but we like crazy with our heads on fire but we like crazy with our heads on fire but we have customers have customers have customers that you Nestle are we on recording yet? that you Nestle are we on recording yet? that you Nestle are we on recording yet? >> Oh you have customers that's >> Oh you have customers that's >> Oh you have customers that's >> we're recording this. Uh oh I just heard >> we're recording this. Uh oh I just heard >> we're recording this. Uh oh I just heard the nword Nestle. the nword Nestle. the nword Nestle. >> No I didn't. Um >> No I didn't. Um >> No I didn't. Um >> okay we didn't hear that. So some very >> okay we didn't hear that. So some very >> okay we didn't hear that. So some very um some very very uh blue chip um some very very uh blue chip um some very very uh blue chip manufacturing companies with whom we're manufacturing companies with whom we're manufacturing companies with whom we're already working who've already given us already working who've already given us already working who've already given us kind of these core data sets to to to go kind of these core data sets to to to go kind of these core data sets to to to go figure out how to apply AI. It's quite figure out how to apply AI. It's quite figure out how to apply AI. It's quite incredible actually. I'm I'm shocked by incredible actually. I'm I'm shocked by incredible actually. I'm I'm shocked by the range of customers like they gave the range of customers like they gave the range of customers like they gave you one. you one. you one. >> Wow. >> Wow. >> Wow. >> Which speaks to the credibility of the >> Which speaks to the credibility of the >> Which speaks to the credibility of the founder a guy called Kent Anderson. Um, founder a guy called Kent Anderson. Um, founder a guy called Kent Anderson. Um, so yeah, super interesting like back to so yeah, super interesting like back to so yeah, super interesting like back to back to early stage startup craziness. back to early stage startup craziness. back to early stage startup craziness. Um, but but really interesting space and Um, but but really interesting space and Um, but but really interesting space and it's kind of I mean you and I Rob we've it's kind of I mean you and I Rob we've it's kind of I mean you and I Rob we've we've been in and well all of us we've been in and well all of us we've been in and well all of us actually we've been in and around like actually we've been in and around like actually we've been in and around like well first of all what you need to do is well first of all what you need to do is well first of all what you need to do is get more data and then you need a get more data and then you need a get more data and then you need a platform to ingest it and then oh platform to ingest it and then oh platform to ingest it and then oh you need more data still so you need to you need more data still so you need to you need more data still so you need to connect more stuff and you need then you connect more stuff and you need then you connect more stuff and you need then you need some edge intelligence because need some edge intelligence because need some edge intelligence because maybe we can do something like but but maybe we can do something like but but maybe we can do something like but but wrapping all of that together into true wrapping all of that together into true wrapping all of that together into true kind of autonomous industrial kind of autonomous industrial kind of autonomous industrial automation. Wow.

  8. automation. Wow. automation. Wow. >> Is is no one's really figured out how to >> Is is no one's really figured out how to >> Is is no one's really figured out how to do that and and I think these guys have do that and and I think these guys have do that and and I think these guys have got as good a shot as any.

That's exciting. You know, when >> for us. That's exciting. You know, when you walk through what you're saying that you walk through what you're saying that you walk through what you're saying that the technology does. I think most people the technology does. I think most people the technology does. I think most people assume that you would have to go to one assume that you would have to go to one assume that you would have to go to one of the big tech companies to get that of the big tech companies to get that of the big tech companies to get that kind of stuff. Like people would be kind of stuff. Like people would be kind of stuff. Like people would be surprised and not expect a startup to surprised and not expect a startup to surprised and not expect a startup to Yeah. Yeah, we have this whole Yeah. Yeah, we have this whole Yeah. Yeah, we have this whole environment and to let you build environment and to let you build environment and to let you build autonomous agents and low code and then autonomous agents and low code and then autonomous agents and low code and then train them and then they go off and do train them and then they go off and do train them and then they go off and do you know it's uh you know it's uh you know it's uh >> the customers that we talk the customers >> the customers that we talk the customers >> the customers that we talk the customers we're talking to I think that they're I we're talking to I think that they're I we're talking to I think that they're I think that exact companies are too think that exact companies are too think that exact companies are too focused on trying to sell you what focused on trying to sell you what focused on trying to sell you what they've already got on the wagon um than they've already got on the wagon um than they've already got on the wagon um than they are necessarily trying to think they are necessarily trying to think they are necessarily trying to think about how to solve your problem in about how to solve your problem in about how to solve your problem in >> the innovator's dilemma right they are >> the innovator's dilemma right they are >> the innovator's dilemma right they are uh hesitant to u you know break into new uh hesitant to u you know break into new uh hesitant to u you know break into new areas and cannibal izer existing areas and cannibal izer existing areas and cannibal izer existing >> right so >> right so >> right so >> and this is I think it's part of a kind >> and this is I think it's part of a kind >> and this is I think it's part of a kind of overall the gap in industrial I think of overall the gap in industrial I think of overall the gap in industrial I think one of the many gaps in industrial has one of the many gaps in industrial has one of the many gaps in industrial has always been you know it's people like us always been you know it's people like us always been you know it's people like us building the solutions not um you know building the solutions not um you know building the solutions not um you know the plant operator not the the you know the plant operator not the the you know the plant operator not the the you know the water plant manager not the you know the water plant manager not the you know the water plant manager not the you know and so the solutions that we have ended and so the solutions that we have ended and so the solutions that we have ended up building over the years they don't up building over the years they don't up building over the years they don't they don't meet that person where they they don't meet that person where they they don't meet that person where they are with something that is kind of are with something that is kind of are with something that is kind of intuitive and doesn't require that they intuitive and doesn't require that they intuitive and doesn't require that they learn had to work in Python and doesn't learn had to work in Python and doesn't learn had to work in Python and doesn't you know that just freaking works and you know that just freaking works and you know that just freaking works and and that's where

  9. and that's where and that's where >> the founder is mechanic he's mechanical >> the founder is mechanic he's mechanical >> the founder is mechanic he's mechanical engineer by background so he's he's engineer by background so he's he's engineer by background so he's he's started from well how do you do this at started from well how do you do this at started from well how do you do this at a process level and you know our first a process level and you know our first a process level and you know our first step with customers is is is basically step with customers is is is basically step with customers is is is basically sit down with the team responsible for sit down with the team responsible for sit down with the team responsible for running the process and figure out how running the process and figure out how running the process and figure out how you know how do you actually you know how do you actually you know how do you actually [clears throat] do that how do you make [clears throat] do that how do you make [clears throat] do that how do you make the machine work that way how do you um the machine work that way how do you um the machine work that way how do you um and I think the the pressing priority at and I think the the pressing priority at and I think the the pressing priority at the moment for most of these companies the moment for most of these companies the moment for most of these companies is ton of their seasoned folks who is ton of their seasoned folks who is ton of their seasoned folks who actually know how the plastic extruder actually know how the plastic extruder actually know how the plastic extruder really works are leaving. They're really works are leaving. They're really works are leaving. They're retiring, you know, and so you can give retiring, you know, and so you can give retiring, you know, and so you can give the new employee the manual and say, the new employee the manual and say, the new employee the manual and say, "Here, read this." But it takes 20 years "Here, read this." But it takes 20 years "Here, read this." But it takes 20 years to figure out how to tune the actual to figure out how to tune the actual to figure out how to tune the actual piece of equipment. And so if you can piece of equipment. And so if you can piece of equipment. And so if you can build an AI agent that works alongside build an AI agent that works alongside build an AI agent that works alongside those workers, which is our intent, um, those workers, which is our intent, um, those workers, which is our intent, um, then it helps them get up to speed much then it helps them get up to speed much then it helps them get up to speed much more rapidly and, you know, it gives more rapidly and, you know, it gives more rapidly and, you know, it gives them 20 years experience in a day. Um, them 20 years experience in a day. Um, them 20 years experience in a day. Um, so it really really interesting. There so it really really interesting. There so it really really interesting. There are a bunch of other companies. I'm are a bunch of other companies. I'm are a bunch of other companies. I'm still with Momenta and obviously, you still with Momenta and obviously, you still with Momenta and obviously, you know, there are a whole bunch of other know, there are a whole bunch of other know, there are a whole bunch of other companies in this space kind of going companies in this space kind of going companies in this space kind of going after the problem from slightly after the problem from slightly after the problem from slightly different angles. Um, I don't know that different angles. Um, I don't know that different angles. Um, I don't know that we've necessarily figured it out. I we've necessarily figured it out. I we've necessarily figured it out. I think we we're in the process of, but I think we we're in the process of, but I think we we're in the process of, but I think it's an extraordinarily valuable think it's an extraordinarily valuable think it's an extraordinarily valuable space and it speaks to your book, Bob.

Um road kind of thing. Um road kind of thing. Um >> if we can't actually get into these >> if we can't actually get into these >> if we can't actually get into these industrial processes and drive industrial processes and drive industrial processes and drive meaningful improvement then it's you meaningful improvement then it's you meaningful improvement then it's you know it's all for not you know I mean know it's all for not you know I mean know it's all for not you know I mean there's no point any of it because you there's no point any of it because you there's no point any of it because you know all it is is interesting know all it is is interesting know all it is is interesting suggestions um that that stay on a suggestions um that that stay on a suggestions um that that stay on a screen and don't actually live on a screen and don't actually live on a screen and don't actually live on a factory floor. So really interesting factory floor. So really interesting factory floor. So really interesting space. space. space. >> It's actually quite interesting, >> It's actually quite interesting, >> It's actually quite interesting, Alistister, because I think one one Alistister, because I think one one Alistister, because I think one one thing I've learned personally from the thing I've learned personally from the thing I've learned personally from the the the and Rob, you were in this wagon the the and Rob, you were in this wagon the the and Rob, you were in this wagon as a wagon as well. The the the days of as a wagon as well. The the the days of as a wagon as well. The the the days of the IoT platforms, industrial IoT the IoT platforms, industrial IoT the IoT platforms, industrial IoT platform that was supposed to be be this platform that was supposed to be be this platform that was supposed to be be this generic, you know, fantastic things that generic, you know, fantastic things that generic, you know, fantastic things that would improve all processes. What we would improve all processes. What we would improve all processes. What we learned to your point is that all those learned to your point is that all those learned to your point is that all those industrial processes are very much industrial processes are very much industrial processes are very much bespoke custommade system integration bespoke custommade system integration bespoke custommade system integration with a lot of knowledge to implement the with a lot of knowledge to implement the with a lot of knowledge to implement the technology and we could never deliver a technology and we could never deliver a technology and we could never deliver a platform that was flexible enough so platform that was flexible enough so platform that was flexible enough so that it would answer those problem it that it would answer those problem it that it would answer those problem it was too generic and it had too many was too generic and it had too many was too generic and it had too many technology constraints. So if you think technology constraints. So if you think technology constraints. So if you think from that angle the the I would say the from that angle the the I would say the from that angle the the I would say the the the the coding availability the the the coding availability the the the coding availability abilities of those agent can actually abilities of those agent can actually abilities of those agent can actually make this bis bespoke at scale but then make this bis bespoke at scale but then make this bis bespoke at scale but then the platform becomes very different.

  11. the platform becomes very different. the platform becomes very different. It's not just you know the database the It's not just you know the database the It's not just you know the database the data flows and the and the the AI model. data flows and the and the the AI model. data flows and the and the the AI model. It's really oh how do I understand the It's really oh how do I understand the It's really oh how do I understand the business problem? How do I understand business problem? How do I understand business problem? How do I understand the equipment and how do I apply the equipment and how do I apply the equipment and how do I apply intelligence to build at scale bespoke intelligence to build at scale bespoke intelligence to build at scale bespoke solutions. So I think that's and to me solutions. So I think that's and to me solutions. So I think that's and to me that's one of the I make a parallel with that's one of the I make a parallel with that's one of the I make a parallel with that. I I do think that one of the that. I I do think that one of the that. I I do think that one of the biggest category of software that is biggest category of software that is biggest category of software that is going to be challenged by AI is the CRM going to be challenged by AI is the CRM going to be challenged by AI is the CRM system because the CRM system has been system because the CRM system has been system because the CRM system has been you know if you salesforce is an you know if you salesforce is an you know if you salesforce is an extremely complex and and and and extremely complex and and and and extremely complex and and and and expensive system because it's so capable expensive system because it's so capable expensive system because it's so capable that you have to tweak it and use that you have to tweak it and use that you have to tweak it and use services and engineers to customize it services and engineers to customize it services and engineers to customize it for your own business. Now you can just for your own business. Now you can just for your own business. Now you can just describe how your business works and describe how your business works and describe how your business works and generate a custom scene and I see people generate a custom scene and I see people generate a custom scene and I see people doing that over and over again. So we doing that over and over again. So we doing that over and over again. So we might go into a world where you just might go into a world where you just might go into a world where you just describe your business processes. The describe your business processes. The describe your business processes. The thing is coded for you and the business thing is coded for you and the business thing is coded for you and the business process change you regenerate another process change you regenerate another process change you regenerate another CRM. If you have a good data discipline CRM. If you have a good data discipline CRM. If you have a good data discipline with the core fundamental data I think with the core fundamental data I think with the core fundamental data I think this is possible to do. So I can see an this is possible to do. So I can see an this is possible to do. So I can see an interesting parallel here. That's that's interesting parallel here. That's that's interesting parallel here. That's that's pretty pretty pretty >> I mean I think there's there's kind of >> I mean I think there's there's kind of >> I mean I think there's there's kind of what we're doing at AMA which is what we're doing at AMA which is what we're doing at AMA which is requires what we've been doing at requires what we've been doing at requires what we've been doing at Momenta you know there's a couple of Momenta you know there's a couple of Momenta you know there's a couple of folks internally um who've basically folks internally um who've basically folks internally um who've basically rebuilt the firm around AI so things rebuilt the firm around AI so things rebuilt the firm around AI so things like um Salesforce which we don't use like um Salesforce which we don't use like um Salesforce which we don't use but we use HubSpot and I think they've but we use HubSpot and I think they've but we use HubSpot and I think they've just become historians that sit behind just become historians that sit behind just become historians that sit behind an MCP server and we have an AI layer an MCP server and we have an AI layer an MCP server and we have an AI layer that runs across the top that integrates that runs across the top that integrates that runs across the top that integrates everything on SharePoint everything ever everything on SharePoint everything ever everything on SharePoint everything ever said in Teams everything said in email,

  12. said in Teams everything said in email, said in Teams everything said in email, everything in our CRM, everything in our everything in our CRM, everything in our everything in our CRM, everything in our sales process, every everything. It it sales process, every everything. It it sales process, every everything. It it basically has an 360 view of the entire basically has an 360 view of the entire basically has an 360 view of the entire business and you can do things like um business and you can do things like um business and you can do things like um obviously the business of a VC is obviously the business of a VC is obviously the business of a VC is evaluating new investment opportunities. evaluating new investment opportunities. evaluating new investment opportunities. You can use it to evaluate a data room You can use it to evaluate a data room You can use it to evaluate a data room with a thousand items in it and provide with a thousand items in it and provide with a thousand items in it and provide you with a concise report that says you with a concise report that says you with a concise report that says should you invest based upon you as a should you invest based upon you as a should you invest based upon you as a company and your thesis. And one of the company and your thesis. And one of the company and your thesis. And one of the things we've had to do is make it very things we've had to do is make it very things we've had to do is make it very deterministic by give it giving it lots deterministic by give it giving it lots deterministic by give it giving it lots of we want it in this form and this is of we want it in this form and this is of we want it in this form and this is the source station. This is how you the source station. This is how you the source station. This is how you should think about X and so we don't get should think about X and so we don't get should think about X and so we don't get any random out of it. any random out of it. any random out of it. >> But it's nuts. It's nuts. I mean the >> But it's nuts. It's nuts. I mean the >> But it's nuts. It's nuts. I mean the performance improvement I performance improvement I performance improvement I >> well the other thing about CRM that's >> well the other thing about CRM that's >> well the other thing about CRM that's pretty cool we use HubSpot too is in B pretty cool we use HubSpot too is in B pretty cool we use HubSpot too is in B the bane of a lot of you mentioned about the bane of a lot of you mentioned about the bane of a lot of you mentioned about good data and a lot of times the good good data and a lot of times the good good data and a lot of times the good data isn't there but data isn't there but data isn't there but >> things like HubSpot now will do a lot of >> things like HubSpot now will do a lot of >> things like HubSpot now will do a lot of good data enhancement. So all of your good data enhancement. So all of your good data enhancement. So all of your partial records, of which 100% of your partial records, of which 100% of your partial records, of which 100% of your records are partial, it will fill in the records are partial, it will fill in the records are partial, it will fill in the blanks by using the web and LinkedIn and blanks by using the web and LinkedIn and blanks by using the web and LinkedIn and >> I love I love things that fill in the >> I love I love things that fill in the >> I love I love things that fill in the blanks. Kind of like, you know, when we blanks. Kind of like, you know, when we blanks. Kind of like, you know, when we capture the mosquito and amber and we capture the mosquito and amber and we capture the mosquito and amber and we got the DNA sequence for all the got the DNA sequence for all the got the DNA sequence for all the dinosaurs, but there was some blanks dinosaurs, but there was some blanks dinosaurs, but there was some blanks that we had to fill in and so we used that we had to fill in and so we used that we had to fill in and so we used DNA from a frog and we plugged those in DNA from a frog and we plugged those in DNA from a frog and we plugged those in to fill the gaps and you know what could to fill the gaps and you know what could to fill the gaps and you know what could go wrong. So yeah, I love that. Oh my go wrong. So yeah, I love that. Oh my go wrong. So yeah, I love that. Oh my god. Hey Devon, does does your team god. Hey Devon, does does your team god. Hey Devon, does does your team Devon obviously is running a big IoT Devon obviously is running a big IoT Devon obviously is running a big IoT team. Do you find yourself built a lot team. Do you find yourself built a lot team. Do you find yourself built a lot of bespoke stuff? How does how do those

  13. of bespoke stuff? How does how do those of bespoke stuff? How does how do those projects look? projects look? projects look? >> I mean, again, you know what I love >> I mean, again, you know what I love >> I mean, again, you know what I love about all this is you can't take the about all this is you can't take the about all this is you can't take the human out of the whole equation? human out of the whole equation? human out of the whole equation? >> And absolutely, you know, people try to >> And absolutely, you know, people try to >> And absolutely, you know, people try to shoehorn technology and without looking shoehorn technology and without looking shoehorn technology and without looking at the enduser experience, the process. at the enduser experience, the process. at the enduser experience, the process. So not only the process but as you know So not only the process but as you know So not only the process but as you know Alistair when you go in and you talk to Alistair when you go in and you talk to Alistair when you go in and you talk to those operators there's always these those operators there's always these those operators there's always these workarounds that they all have in their workarounds that they all have in their workarounds that they all have in their head. How do you figure that? But the head. How do you figure that? But the head. How do you figure that? But the number one thing is trust and unless number one thing is trust and unless number one thing is trust and unless there's trust in the technology um there's trust in the technology um there's trust in the technology um people are not you know you can make all people are not you know you can make all people are not you know you can make all the AI can make all the recommendations the AI can make all the recommendations the AI can make all the recommendations you want but some human at the end still you want but some human at the end still you want but some human at the end still has to say whether this is not going to has to say whether this is not going to has to say whether this is not going to damage permanently damage my operations damage permanently damage my operations damage permanently damage my operations or my equipment because there's some or my equipment because there's some or my equipment because there's some tribal knowledge in there and human tribal knowledge in there and human tribal knowledge in there and human intuition that you still can't replicate intuition that you still can't replicate intuition that you still can't replicate with AI. But everything you're saying, with AI. But everything you're saying, with AI. But everything you're saying, Alistister, make me go back to that Alistister, make me go back to that Alistister, make me go back to that whole, you know, when we were back in whole, you know, when we were back in whole, you know, when we were back in kindergarten, you got the grade card and kindergarten, you got the grade card and kindergarten, you got the grade card and it says, do you play well with others? it says, do you play well with others? it says, do you play well with others? And we're gonna start thinking now, do And we're gonna start thinking now, do And we're gonna start thinking now, do agents, do robots, do all this agents, do robots, do all this agents, do robots, do all this technology, do they play well with the technology, do they play well with the technology, do they play well with the others? And that's a human being, the others? And that's a human being, the others? And that's a human being, the other agents and things like that. So other agents and things like that. So other agents and things like that. So absolutely, you know, you just don't absolutely, you know, you just don't absolutely, you know, you just don't take it, you know, I always say take it, you know, I always say take it, you know, I always say technology is only 25% of the equation.

  14. technology is only 25% of the equation. technology is only 25% of the equation. you know ROI is a second security you know ROI is a second security you know ROI is a second security regulatory that's a huge part that you regulatory that's a huge part that you regulatory that's a huge part that you know I say that not just make it the know I say that not just make it the know I say that not just make it the four legs of the stool but the people four legs of the stool but the people four legs of the stool but the people you know unless you can get people to you know unless you can get people to you know unless you can get people to change behavior unless you can get change behavior unless you can get change behavior unless you can get people to trust things you're not going people to trust things you're not going people to trust things you're not going to get a lick of ROI and that's why you to get a lick of ROI and that's why you to get a lick of ROI and that's why you have to understand it from a human level have to understand it from a human level have to understand it from a human level and from a process level of how your and from a process level of how your and from a process level of how your technology is going to fit and so I love technology is going to fit and so I love technology is going to fit and so I love everything that you know you're doing everything that you know you're doing everything that you know you're doing with these agents and here comes the with these agents and here comes the with these agents and here comes the winner It's dealing with the winner It's dealing with the winner It's dealing with the unpredictable I think because like even unpredictable I think because like even unpredictable I think because like even in a closed loop environment in a in a closed loop environment in a in a closed loop environment in a factory if you're making I don't know factory if you're making I don't know factory if you're making I don't know making tin cans you know yes you've got making tin cans you know yes you've got making tin cans you know yes you've got visibility thanks to all these visibility thanks to all these visibility thanks to all these wonderfully connected sensors you have wonderfully connected sensors you have wonderfully connected sensors you have now and you've had a data ingestion now and you've had a data ingestion now and you've had a data ingestion you've got the data there's one part you've got the data there's one part you've got the data there's one part which is there's a whole bunch of stuff which is there's a whole bunch of stuff which is there's a whole bunch of stuff that's still going to happen that is that's still going to happen that is that's still going to happen that is unpredictable and that's where the human unpredictable and that's where the human unpredictable and that's where the human comes in because they're able to cope comes in because they're able to cope comes in because they're able to cope with these different varing situations with these different varing situations with these different varing situations you know it's more humid today than it you know it's more humid today than it you know it's more humid today than it was yesterday and that actually affects was yesterday and that actually affects was yesterday and that actually affects the throughput of the machine it doesn't the throughput of the machine it doesn't the throughput of the machine it doesn't say that in the manual there's that say that in the manual there's that say that in the manual there's that aspect But the trust aspect I think is aspect But the trust aspect I think is aspect But the trust aspect I think is being able to create an authentic you being able to create an authentic you being able to create an authentic you know a realistic synthetic environment know a realistic synthetic environment know a realistic synthetic environment that then you can train agents in and that then you can train agents in and that then you can train agents in and then demonstrate those agents. So what then demonstrate those agents. So what then demonstrate those agents. So what AMESA and others doing that well AMEA AMESA and others doing that well AMEA AMESA and others doing that well AMEA for sure we take the company's threshold for sure we take the company's threshold for sure we take the company's threshold you know okay so your output variable is you know okay so your output variable is you know okay so your output variable is number of tin cans you produce an hour number of tin cans you produce an hour number of tin cans you produce an hour and your input variables you know there and your input variables you know there and your input variables you know there are set point variables around the metal are set point variables around the metal are set point variables around the metal variable around blah blah blah you know variable around blah blah blah you know variable around blah blah blah you know this is the best you ever achieved was this is the best you ever achieved was this is the best you ever achieved was 85% we can show you the agent delivering

  15. 85% we can show you the agent delivering 85% we can show you the agent delivering 95% and and that kind of because we're a 95% and and that kind of because we're a 95% and and that kind of because we're a small startup and yet large companies small startup and yet large companies small startup and yet large companies are trusting us with data That's why I are trusting us with data That's why I are trusting us with data That's why I think they trust us because we can show think they trust us because we can show think they trust us because we can show them the agent running in a in a them the agent running in a in a them the agent running in a in a realistic environment and say look and realistic environment and say look and realistic environment and say look and and also it's then the visibility of and also it's then the visibility of and also it's then the visibility of caps and governance rules like okay the caps and governance rules like okay the caps and governance rules like okay the agent can't actually I don't know um agent can't actually I don't know um agent can't actually I don't know um switch off all the electricity because switch off all the electricity because switch off all the electricity because it saves money in the you know it can't it saves money in the you know it can't it saves money in the you know it can't do dumb stuff in order to try and win do dumb stuff in order to try and win do dumb stuff in order to try and win the win the reward you know win win win the win the reward you know win win win the win the reward you know win win win the win the game that I think but you the win the game that I think but you the win the game that I think but you have to show people that in action have to show people that in action have to show people that in action before they go huh okay so this isn't before they go huh okay so this isn't before they go huh okay so this isn't this isn't n't going to destroy my this isn't n't going to destroy my this isn't n't going to destroy my factory.

If you find out the first big problem. If you find out the first big problem. If you're a big company, that big problem you're a big company, that big problem you're a big company, that big problem could cost you millions of dollars. I could cost you millions of dollars. I could cost you millions of dollars. I think what will happen is more think what will happen is more think what will happen is more everybody's producing MCP servers so you everybody's producing MCP servers so you everybody's producing MCP servers so you can access all the data that sits in a can access all the data that sits in a can access all the data that sits in a CRM or a story or whatever. I think what CRM or a story or whatever. I think what CRM or a story or whatever. I think what will happen is that um it's kind of a will happen is that um it's kind of a will happen is that um it's kind of a abstraction layer essentially an AI abstraction layer essentially an AI abstraction layer essentially an AI layer thing across the top all of these layer thing across the top all of these layer thing across the top all of these systems. I think the new feature set the systems. I think the new feature set the systems. I think the new feature set the going forward the future road map is going forward the future road map is going forward the future road map is going to be owned by that abstraction going to be owned by that abstraction going to be owned by that abstraction layer not by the underlying. So I think layer not by the underlying. So I think layer not by the underlying. So I think is is is Microsoft going to go out of is is is Microsoft going to go out of is is is Microsoft going to go out of business tomorrow? Is not you know is business tomorrow? Is not you know is business tomorrow? Is not you know is their CRM product going to go disappear? their CRM product going to go disappear? their CRM product going to go disappear? No. But I think their ability to No. But I think their ability to No. But I think their ability to >> I think there is going to be there'll be >> I think there is going to be there'll be >> I think there is going to be there'll be downward pressure on a lot of these kind downward pressure on a lot of these kind downward pressure on a lot of these kind of legacy expensive legacy kind of of legacy expensive legacy kind of of legacy expensive legacy kind of brittle uh infrastructure companies brittle uh infrastructure companies brittle uh infrastructure companies because of these alternatives. But you because of these alternatives. But you because of these alternatives. But you know as you know if you have something know as you know if you have something know as you know if you have something that's kind of working the last thing that's kind of working the last thing that's kind of working the last thing you want to do is fix it you know. So you want to do is fix it you know. So you want to do is fix it you know. So >> uh I think they'll be I think there's >> uh I think they'll be I think there's >> uh I think they'll be I think there's pressure there, but I'd be surprised if pressure there, but I'd be surprised if pressure there, but I'd be surprised if any serious like enterprise company any serious like enterprise company any serious like enterprise company ditched their their legacy systems ditched their their legacy systems ditched their their legacy systems anytime soon. But anytime soon. But anytime soon. But >> I should agree with Alistar too. It's >> I should agree with Alistar too. It's >> I should agree with Alistar too. It's MCP is the new thing. Like we we on MCP is the new thing. Like we we on MCP is the new thing. Like we we on board all kinds of new board all kinds of new board all kinds of new >> things here and we're a small small

  23. >> things here and we're a small small >> things here and we're a small small business and the first thing I look for business and the first thing I look for business and the first thing I look for is what's the MCP interface because if is what's the MCP interface because if is what's the MCP interface because if there isn't one then I can't really use there isn't one then I can't really use there isn't one then I can't really use it as well. it as well. it as well. >> So you're down with MCP? I'm down. >> So you're down with MCP? I'm down. >> So you're down with MCP? I'm down. [laughter] There's companies that there's MCP There's companies that there's MCP companies. So like not every product has companies. So like not every product has companies. So like not every product has an MCP server interface. So there's an MCP server interface. So there's an MCP server interface. So there's these companies now that that will only these companies now that that will only these companies now that that will only be in business for a short period of be in business for a short period of be in business for a short period of time, but they have MCP connectors to time, but they have MCP connectors to time, but they have MCP connectors to all these other legacy systems, right? all these other legacy systems, right? all these other legacy systems, right? So that's kind of like a an interesting So that's kind of like a an interesting So that's kind of like a an interesting little niche that's popped up on the little niche that's popped up on the little niche that's popped up on the internet. internet. internet. >> Yeah. But the the problem the problem >> Yeah. But the the problem the problem >> Yeah. But the the problem the problem Alistister is that if the if the as you Alistister is that if the if the as you Alistister is that if the if the as you said and I agree with you if the value said and I agree with you if the value said and I agree with you if the value moved at the at the abstraction layer moved at the at the abstraction layer moved at the at the abstraction layer and the orchestration between these MCPS and the orchestration between these MCPS and the orchestration between these MCPS all the big platform vendors will have all the big platform vendors will have all the big platform vendors will have very limited incentive to expose through very limited incentive to expose through very limited incentive to expose through MCPS because they're losing the value MCPS because they're losing the value MCPS because they're losing the value and this is I think the big going to be and this is I think the big going to be and this is I think the big going to be the biggest challenge there and that's the biggest challenge there and that's the biggest challenge there and that's why I I mean I exaggerate when I said 5 why I I mean I exaggerate when I said 5 why I I mean I exaggerate when I said 5 years but I think that there are big years but I think that there are big years but I think that there are big enterprise software categories that will enterprise software categories that will enterprise software categories that will be destroyed or relegated to just be the be destroyed or relegated to just be the be destroyed or relegated to just be the system of record and the abstraction system of record and the abstraction system of record and the abstraction action. On top of that, I give you action. On top of that, I give you action. On top of that, I give you another stupid analogy, but the the way another stupid analogy, but the the way another stupid analogy, but the the way I'm using AI more and more nowadays is I'm using AI more and more nowadays is I'm using AI more and more nowadays is I'm going back to markdown documents I'm going back to markdown documents I'm going back to markdown documents because the problem is that if you're because the problem is that if you're because the problem is that if you're prisoner of the PowerPoint format or the prisoner of the PowerPoint format or the prisoner of the PowerPoint format or the Microsoft format or whatever PDF format, Microsoft format or whatever PDF format, Microsoft format or whatever PDF format, then you spend an enormous amount of then you spend an enormous amount of then you spend an enormous amount of token just normalizing the data so you token just normalizing the data so you token just normalizing the data so you can use it. If I build my knowledge base can use it. If I build my knowledge base can use it. If I build my knowledge base in markdown, then I can port that to any in markdown, then I can port that to any in markdown, then I can port that to any type of AI agent models. So I think type of AI agent models. So I think type of AI agent models. So I think you're going to see more and more you're going to see more and more you're going to see more and more pressure from that hopefully where you pressure from that hopefully where you pressure from that hopefully where you know customers say okay I want my data

  24. know customers say okay I want my data know customers say okay I want my data somewhere but I want to be able to put somewhere but I want to be able to put somewhere but I want to be able to put whatever abstraction layer or AI layer whatever abstraction layer or AI layer whatever abstraction layer or AI layer on top of it which is not what the on top of it which is not what the on top of it which is not what the Microsoft and the others are doing. Microsoft and the others are doing. Microsoft and the others are doing. They're trying to force you in their They're trying to force you in their They're trying to force you in their platform to keep on the lock in. So platform to keep on the lock in. So platform to keep on the lock in. So there's going to be a very interesting there's going to be a very interesting there's going to be a very interesting dynamic to see around that. I think it's dynamic to see around that. I think it's dynamic to see around that. I think it's going to be super difficult for the going to be super difficult for the going to be super difficult for the incumbents because by definition what incumbents because by definition what incumbents because by definition what you want to do is integrate multiple you want to do is integrate multiple you want to do is integrate multiple systems unless you're a sole Microsoft systems unless you're a sole Microsoft systems unless you're a sole Microsoft shop or or you know and I think those shop or or you know and I think those shop or or you know and I think those companies learned the hard way that companies learned the hard way that companies learned the hard way that wasn't a good thing. You've got multiple wasn't a good thing. You've got multiple wasn't a good thing. You've got multiple system vendors in your in your system vendors in your in your system vendors in your in your infrastructure and you know the the infrastructure and you know the the infrastructure and you know the the notion of trusting one of those notion of trusting one of those notion of trusting one of those individual infrastructure vendors to individual infrastructure vendors to individual infrastructure vendors to integrate data across all of the others integrate data across all of the others integrate data across all of the others is is I think something that people is is I think something that people is is I think something that people struggle with. So they're looking for a struggle with. So they're looking for a struggle with. So they're looking for a third party. I think it's a huge third party. I think it's a huge third party. I think it's a huge opportunity for these com for there are opportunity for these com for there are opportunity for these com for there are a bunch of companies offering AI a bunch of companies offering AI a bunch of companies offering AI automation, back office automation, etc. automation, back office automation, etc. automation, back office automation, etc. That's a huge opportunity for those That's a huge opportunity for those That's a huge opportunity for those guys. There's a trust issue because guys. There's a trust issue because guys. There's a trust issue because these are big enterprises and do they these are big enterprises and do they these are big enterprises and do they trust the small startup and trust the small startup and trust the small startup and unfortunately most of those startups are unfortunately most of those startups are unfortunately most of those startups are spending their time marketing to other spending their time marketing to other spending their time marketing to other startups. And I'll say for for me at startups. And I'll say for for me at startups. And I'll say for for me at least, I'm super cheap. I don't want to least, I'm super cheap. I don't want to least, I'm super cheap. I don't want to pay someone else to do something that I pay someone else to do something that I pay someone else to do something that I can figure out how to do myself. And can figure out how to do myself. And can figure out how to do myself. And actually if I can use cursor to produce actually if I can use cursor to produce actually if I can use cursor to produce I won't name any of the companies but if I won't name any of the companies but if I won't name any of the companies but if I can produce this kind of abstraction I can produce this kind of abstraction I can produce this kind of abstraction layer myself with cursor or get even if layer myself with cursor or get even if layer myself with cursor or get even if just a bit of it if I can integrate my just a bit of it if I can integrate my just a bit of it if I can integrate my shareepoint and my email and my you know shareepoint and my email and my you know shareepoint and my email and my you know then I'm going to do that myself. I'm then I'm going to do that myself. I'm then I'm going to do that myself. I'm not going to. So these companies I think not going to. So these companies I think not going to. So these companies I think there's a real opportunity but I think there's a real opportunity but I think there's a real opportunity but I think they're focusing on marketing to other they're focusing on marketing to other they're focusing on marketing to other startups more than than actually

  25. startups more than than actually startups more than than actually focusing on the bigger enterprise. focusing on the bigger enterprise. focusing on the bigger enterprise. >> Yeah, >> Yeah, >> Yeah, >> I would agree with you because you can >> I would agree with you because you can >> I would agree with you because you can actually force a system where the the actually force a system where the the actually force a system where the the existing legacy becames as you were existing legacy becames as you were existing legacy becames as you were saying Pete kind of historian. So they saying Pete kind of historian. So they saying Pete kind of historian. So they have the data the records and the have the data the records and the have the data the records and the knowledge but then the intelligence sits knowledge but then the intelligence sits knowledge but then the intelligence sits on top and because we have the AI agent on top and because we have the AI agent on top and because we have the AI agent and all technology we can actually build and all technology we can actually build and all technology we can actually build that and control that better. So now that and control that better. So now that and control that better. So now obviously this is going to be dramatic obviously this is going to be dramatic obviously this is going to be dramatic for those big platform vendors because for those big platform vendors because for those big platform vendors because they the way they've been doing it with they the way they've been doing it with they the way they've been doing it with CRM that because they have the data then CRM that because they have the data then CRM that because they have the data then you're forced to stay there and you're you're forced to stay there and you're you're forced to stay there and you're forced to you to implement your forced to you to implement your forced to you to implement your processes within themsel but here we say processes within themsel but here we say processes within themsel but here we say no okay yeah you I'm a CRM I'm sales no okay yeah you I'm a CRM I'm sales no okay yeah you I'm a CRM I'm sales force keep the data there but I'm going force keep the data there but I'm going force keep the data there but I'm going to put the intelligence layer outside to put the intelligence layer outside to put the intelligence layer outside and every year I'm going to say I want and every year I'm going to say I want and every year I'm going to say I want to pay less because I'm only using the to pay less because I'm only using the to pay less because I'm only using the data here I want to pay less because I'm data here I want to pay less because I'm data here I want to pay less because I'm using the data here using the data here using the data here >> yes that's what I was thinking you know >> yes that's what I was thinking you know >> yes that's what I was thinking you know Pete talking about the downward pressure Pete talking about the downward pressure Pete talking about the downward pressure so we may not rip and replace so the so we may not rip and replace so the so we may not rip and replace so the that I show up and say, "Look what I that I show up and say, "Look what I that I show up and say, "Look what I built with lovable or cursor or built with lovable or cursor or built with lovable or cursor or whatever." whatever." whatever." >> It may it may not mean that Waldorf >> It may it may not mean that Waldorf >> It may it may not mean that Waldorf Germany is under threat, but it in that Germany is under threat, but it in that Germany is under threat, but it in that sales negotiation, I think people will sales negotiation, I think people will sales negotiation, I think people will play that card.

  26. play that card. play that card. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Um a little bit to get a better deal. >> Um a little bit to get a better deal. >> Um a little bit to get a better deal. >> This or can you you know, and then I I >> This or can you you know, and then I I >> This or can you you know, and then I I actually talked to a vendor the other actually talked to a vendor the other actually talked to a vendor the other day who said that their MCP connector day who said that their MCP connector day who said that their MCP connector would cost extra and I was like, would cost extra and I was like, would cost extra and I was like, >> "Oh, whatever." >> "Oh, whatever." >> "Oh, whatever." >> Say it.

I coded with CR the whole fortune. I coded with CR the whole fortune. I coded with CR the whole complete system where I just used the complete system where I just used the complete system where I just used the system of record of Squarespace. I system of record of Squarespace. I system of record of Squarespace. I generate the QR code, I send the email, generate the QR code, I send the email, generate the QR code, I send the email, I send the SMS, I manage the list, I I send the SMS, I manage the list, I I send the SMS, I manage the list, I manage the allocation. Took me about 40 manage the allocation. Took me about 40 manage the allocation. Took me about 40 hours, but I have a system I totally hours, but I have a system I totally hours, but I have a system I totally control and I only use that legacy control and I only use that legacy control and I only use that legacy system as the source of record. So I system as the source of record. So I system as the source of record. So I think of course it's a hobbyist little think of course it's a hobbyist little think of course it's a hobbyist little experiment. It's not enterprise grade experiment. It's not enterprise grade experiment. It's not enterprise grade and whatever you want. But I think this and whatever you want. But I think this and whatever you want. But I think this is a direction you can imagine would is a direction you can imagine would is a direction you can imagine would happen because you have so much control happen because you have so much control happen because you have so much control now over wiring the processes on top of now over wiring the processes on top of now over wiring the processes on top of the data that you you want to be able to the data that you you want to be able to the data that you you want to be able to do that on your own and without being do that on your own and without being do that on your own and without being dependent on the platform.

It has I think a it comes with a depth understanding of how comes with a depth understanding of how comes with a depth understanding of how these systems function in a way that these systems function in a way that these systems function in a way that other LLM based products like chat GPT other LLM based products like chat GPT other LLM based products like chat GPT and other don't you know and so it feels and other don't you know and so it feels and other don't you know and so it feels much more like oh I kind of this thing much more like oh I kind of this thing much more like oh I kind of this thing kind of knows what I'm trying to do here kind of knows what I'm trying to do here kind of knows what I'm trying to do here you know as you go through the process you know as you go through the process you know as you go through the process of of iterating and iterating iterating of of iterating and iterating iterating of of iterating and iterating iterating to create an agent and the agent to create an agent and the agent to create an agent and the agent creation experience is actually really creation experience is actually really creation experience is actually really good as well. Um I did I did you good as well. Um I did I did you good as well. Um I did I did you remember Nicole Hers of it? I did reach remember Nicole Hers of it? I did reach remember Nicole Hers of it? I did reach out to her and say to say actually this out to her and say to say actually this out to her and say to say actually this is pretty freaking good, you know, is pretty freaking good, you know, is pretty freaking good, you know, [laughter] [laughter] [laughter] we talking directly to her team because we talking directly to her team because we talking directly to her team because I think we're doing a bunch of stuff I think we're doing a bunch of stuff I think we're doing a bunch of stuff that's kind of at the at the bleeding

  28. that's kind of at the at the bleeding that's kind of at the at the bleeding edge of um of what they're doing. But is edge of um of what they're doing. But is edge of um of what they're doing.

They're trying to create look at it. They're trying to create look at it. They're trying to create that um air of fear so that they can that um air of fear so that they can that um air of fear so that they can drive some of the direction of where drive some of the direction of where drive some of the direction of where regulation will go around AI in the US regulation will go around AI in the US regulation will go around AI in the US probably more than anything else.

I think agree with your theory, Lonard. I think there is probably a a a kind of there is probably a a a kind of there is probably a a a kind of marketing effort to try to keep on marketing effort to try to keep on marketing effort to try to keep on positioning the US lab as kind of the positioning the US lab as kind of the positioning the US lab as kind of the frontier model and saying, "Oh, they can frontier model and saying, "Oh, they can frontier model and saying, "Oh, they can be rogue and they can be crazy is be rogue and they can be crazy is be rogue and they can be crazy is actuallying that frontier positioning actuallying that frontier positioning actuallying that frontier positioning and and also creating new policies."

I think all governments in the world are the same.

  32. governments in the world are the same. governments in the world are the same. But if you expect governments to make But if you expect governments to make But if you expect governments to make the smart decision when it comes for the smart decision when it comes for the smart decision when it comes for technology, this is where you say, "Oh, technology, this is where you say, "Oh, technology, this is where you say, "Oh, shoot." shoot." shoot." >> Well, >> Well, >> Well, it'll have an unintended consequence, it'll have an unintended consequence, it'll have an unintended consequence, you know.

And that's really what's happening are. And that's really what's happening are. And that's really what's happening right now with aic AI, you know. And I right now with aic AI, you know. And I right now with aic AI, you know. And I think um um yeah, there's going to be a think um um yeah, there's going to be a think um um yeah, there's going to be a aha moment in probably about I don't aha moment in probably about I don't aha moment in probably about I don't know probably six months from now with know probably six months from now with know probably six months from now with people going, "Oh crap, we need more people going, "Oh crap, we need more people going, "Oh crap, we need more CPUs." CPUs." CPUs." Well, right now we already know that Well, right now we already know that Well, right now we already know that there's everyone CPUs are like this sexy there's everyone CPUs are like this sexy there's everyone CPUs are like this sexy thing now, but most people don't know it thing now, but most people don't know it thing now, but most people don't know it because everyone's still stuck on this because everyone's still stuck on this because everyone's still stuck on this idea that the GPU is what drives AI, idea that the GPU is what drives AI, idea that the GPU is what drives AI, whatever the hell you mean by AI, right? whatever the hell you mean by AI, right? whatever the hell you mean by AI, right? So, it's it's pretty funny stuff So, it's it's pretty funny stuff So, it's it's pretty funny stuff happening right now. Well, I think happening right now. Well, I think happening right now. Well, I think there's there's one virtue in the in the there's there's one virtue in the in the there's there's one virtue in the in the harness approach in the sense that it harness approach in the sense that it harness approach in the sense that it actually explained that you know the the actually explained that you know the the actually explained that you know the the raw LLM is just one component of intent raw LLM is just one component of intent raw LLM is just one component of intent systems and I think I would I'm less systems and I think I would I'm less systems and I think I would I'm less negative than you are in terms of the negative than you are in terms of the negative than you are in terms of the arness I think the concept is actually arness I think the concept is actually arness I think the concept is actually good now the way it's implemented is a good now the way it's implemented is a good now the way it's implemented is a whole other discussion and the magic out whole other discussion and the magic out whole other discussion and the magic out of it is expect because the problem is of it is expect because the problem is of it is expect because the problem is always the same thing people expect always the same thing people expect always the same thing people expect magic so they expect to write two words magic so they expect to write two words magic so they expect to write two words and have the things do something and have the things do something and have the things do something intelligent no it's all about all the intelligent no it's all about all the intelligent no it's all about all the knowledge you put into it and what you knowledge you put into it and what you knowledge you put into it and what you ask him to do and how you basically ask him to do and how you basically ask him to do and how you basically leverage that value and cycle working leverage that value and cycle working leverage that value and cycle working with it.

  42. problem with regulating how AI functions problem with regulating how AI functions is it's changing so quickly and the is it's changing so quickly and the is it's changing so quickly and the government understanding of how these government understanding of how these government understanding of how these systems actually function even if you systems actually function even if you systems actually function even if you even if they're not neural network based even if they're not neural network based even if they're not neural network based and you can actually see what they're and you can actually see what they're and you can actually see what they're doing is so limited that the notion of doing is so limited that the notion of doing is so limited that the notion of regulating how it works. So the only regulating how it works. So the only regulating how it works. So the only thing you can do then is regulate the thing you can do then is regulate the thing you can do then is regulate the outcome. So if it does something bad, outcome.
