- 26:33impossible,
- 26:34right?
- 26:34Again,
- 26:34during
- 26:34COVID
- 26:36there
- 26:36was

- 29:59other
- 29:59side
- 29:59from
- 30:00technology
- 30:01is

- 30:06And
- 30:06what
- 30:07gets
- 30:07me
- 30:07excited
- 30:07the
- 30:08most,
- 30:08because
- 30:08I'm

- 30:09execution
- 30:10side.
- 30:11This
- 30:11whole
- 30:12gen
- 30:12AI
- 30:12started
- 30:12as
- 30:13a
- 30:13natural
- 30:13language
- 30:14kind
- 30:14of

- 30:15LLMs
- 30:16models,
- 30:17et
- 30:17cetera.
- 30:17So
- 30:17it
- 30:17was
- 30:17really
- 30:18good,
- 30:18and
- 30:18I
- 30:18would
- 30:19always
