Like it's still good people doing good things, but that they have different time horizons, which makes the question of holding an interesting question.
33:58
And I think my concern with that, I see their perspective and the need to hold that information is the security of it, right? The cybersecurity, right? The longer you hold that data, the longer you need to protect it and have the cybersecurity in place to protect it.
34:14
Well, the problem is that in these rural counties, sometimes the IT person is someone's nephew who maybe took one course on technology.
34:24
And so we have invested a lot of money into cybersecurity across the state, but that's my concern with rural is that they actually don't have a lot of the backing and support and infrastructure to protect that information and data.
34:39
And so...
34:40
I think this is going to be a conversation that comes up.
34:43
Flock is just the vehicle of it.

What is then your position on AI? Like, do, do you feel it's a force for good or, or does it need to be curbed?
27:26
I think it's a, it's a tool, and it depends on how you use it.
27:29
And I, I, I've always taken the position that I am pro-AI.
27:32
I think we can use it, and I'm pro-innovation.
27:36
I, I think it's gonna solve some of the world's biggest problems.
27:39
But at the same time, I also think that there's an ability to set up, uh, reasonable guardrails to ensure that it's safe for especially our kids but other vulnerable populations, like our seniors.
27:52
Uh, we see a lot of fraud happening to them and, and people using AI to, uh, to do that.
29:16
So does that speak of you still having quite strong connection with the homeland?
