I believe that we are going to be spending more on hiring great AI-pilled marketers. I've been— I was interviewing a guy that was super, super AI-pilled today. I was like, you know what, I'm gonna be honest with you. A year ago, I thought I'd have to fire more people that weren't technical. Uh-huh. And I'm like, no, but I like— I'm talking to you right now. I'm really enjoying this conversation. We're gonna have to hire a lot more people like you, um, just because there isn't enough talent to go around to pilot all these things and to manage all these things.
