- 4:33of
- 4:33both
- 4:34deterministic
- 4:34as
- 4:35well
- 4:35as
- 4:35AI
- 4:36based
- 4:36decisions.
- 4:37Looking
- 4:38at
- 4:38all
- 4:38this
- 4:38holistically,
- 4:39which
- 4:39is
- 4:40not
- 4:40really
- 4:40possible
- 4:41in
- 4:41the
- 4:41old
- 4:41world
- 4:42when
- 4:42those
- 4:42decision
- 4:42engines
- 4:43used
- 4:43to
- 4:43be
- 4:43isolated.
- 4:45Got
- 4:45it.
- 4:46So.
- 4:46So

- 4:48there's
- 4:49basically
- 4:49there's
- 4:50like
- 4:50going
- 4:50to.
- 4:50The
- 4:51decision
- 4:51engine
- 4:51still
- 4:51matters,
- 4:52but
- 4:52there's
- 4:52almost
- 4:52a
- 4:53module
- 4:53in
- 4:53and
- 4:53of
- 4:53itself
- 4:54that
- 4:54is
- 4:54going
- 4:54to
- 4:54command
- 4:55and
- 4:55control
- 4:55everything
- 4:56else
- 4:56that's
- 4:56going
- 4:56on.
- 4:57Is
- 4:57that
- 4:57right?
- 4:58Exactly.
- 4:58So

- 5:00the
- 5:00key,
- 5:00Chris,
- 5:01as

- 5:57because
- 5:57I'm
- 5:57in
- 5:58the
- 5:58supply
- 5:58chain
- 5:58execution
- 5:59side,
- 6:00this
- 6:01whole
- 6:01gen
- 6:01AI
- 6:01started

- 6:04LLMs
- 6:05models,
- 6:06et
- 6:06cetera.
- 6:06So
- 6:06it

- 6:07really
- 6:07good,
- 6:07and
- 6:07I
- 6:08would
