I've been in software for 30 years now, doing startups pretty much my entire professional career. This is like too big to ignore. I think it's the single largest opportunity and biggest kind of tech paradigm shift we've seen since the internet originally came out. Like mobile was big, but there was a discrete set of use cases, like when you put a camera on a phone, when you put a GPS device on a phone, a bunch of consumer apps like Uber and others came up and that was awesome, right? But it was not like this impacts everything like the internet did. Like, okay, there are some businesses, some new opportunities, lots of good things, lots of money made, lots of startups. Awesome. This is an order of magnitude bigger than that. This is like the, like the original web because it just opens up for all sorts of industries, all sorts of businesses, startups and incumbents alike, just lots of new opportunities.
