you could be building for a category that actually becomes made irrelevant in 6 months because of GPT-6. So yeah, has your thinking changed about how to evaluate whether something's actually 10-year durable versus 6-month durable?
There are some things that are durable in life and there are some things that are relatively easy to replicate. And the easy to replicate is probably going to get bundled. I can also see the areas where it's showing up now that it's like, it's never going to be able to do that. And so that's, I think, the challenge for all of the innovators and you and all of your team is where are those things that are super durable?
