where you would be upset to discover that someone had produced at scale many versions of the same thing that a human had also produced and you couldn't tell the difference.

Hmm.
34:04
I don't know.

I heard this interesting podcast recently where this person, shoot, I'm going to forget which podcast.
34:11
It was either Radiolab or This American Life.

So we built, we built, um, I think I was saying our, our decisioning engine that helps us ideate on what cool things are happening out there, where, what trends, what are, um, what are greenfield opportunity spaces in content, what's, what we think might be niche, um, groups or micro communities that might be forming around different topics.
37:59
And then we get basically huge lists of all different things that we can make content on, um, and how, you know, we think that that content might perform, and then our creators, you know, use that as a springboard.
