Yeah, it's, uh, I can, I can basically cycle through the event, through the event venue from, uh, from here, so that's very, uh, convenient.
2:43
Uh, not the main re- main reason we chose it or why I'm, uh, or why I got involved in this, but it's a very convenient place, uh, for sure and, uh, for everyone else, uh, as well.
2:52
I mean, uh, Amsterdam is a great place, uh, to, to host events.
2:56
It's, uh, it's very easy.
2:58
Uh, it's a, it's a great hub to host, uh, events in.
3:00
Uh, Schiphol, our major airport in the Netherlands, is very close by.
4:50
So Guido, can you introduce yourself to the chat here?
22:35
You've been on that side, right? Is there a place for those? Yeah,
22:41
I think you can greatly benefit from a community, but I think that like the fields of, it's called community building, right? But I think that that's kind of a misnomer because like you said, a lot of communities, they grow organically.
22:53
So it's more like as a company, you can facilitate the community.
22:57
You can see people, oh, they're organizing an event.
23:00
Oh, let's sponsor them.
23:01
Let's help them out.
23:03
pay for for the venue or the food at the event and we see a community they want to have meetups let's sponsor their meetup.com page that's centralized in a way so everyone can benefit from that um maybe do do fun things with swag beyond t-shirts and there's a lot of things you can do as a community i think to facilitate you can organize things yourself or help the the people and companies in your network network to to organize things themselves like have a blueprint for how events look like for example But yeah, it can be very messy or tricky too.

So do you think that this will ultimately, and this is very hypothetical, will also drive a renaissance of community where we at some point... might get tired, not even of the AI slot, but of the fact that we are so heavily productized and we become the training, we become the product, right? That there will be something going against that?
