I mean, to me, this falls right to the bottom line.
34:24
Well, exactly, and that's what AI can do, and there's the talk about whether it's AI versus traditional software.
34:32
It's AI plus traditional software.
34:34
It's, it's deterministic and probabilistic.
34:37

34:40
We have an end of a payroll process.
34:42
You have to get it right 100% of the time, and the process doesn't change.

So what drove the decision to come back and refound?
7:09
You know, at the core, I'm not a-- I, I'll be the first to admit I'm not a great operating executive or guy.

7:25
Uh, when AI showed up, it was a refounding moment in that all, all bets are off.
7:29
It's a brand-new world, and AI is so different from any technology we've ever seen.
7:35
It's, it's a reasoning engine.
