so they're doing the same thing where you have like an agent running on a dedicated machine and i started to slowly carefully my first step was actually to make a dedicated email address so i don't have to give an agent access to all my emails i can selectively forward the stuff that I don't care about as much or that might be useful or we can make some compromise.
74:26
And now I'm starting to go through the thing.
74:28
So can it help me with bills and can it help me with this and that? It's actually interesting this week, somebody I forgot who it was, but on LinkedIn, had an interesting message where they were like, or interesting post saying, all these companies, all the examples are always like, plan a road trip for me, plan a family outing.
74:46
And nobody needs AI for that.
74:49
Nobody needs an agent.
74:50
No, you can do that.

So this talk is so that it will talk to you in your glasses.
73:59
Well, they don't have the glasses yet, but eventually that's, I think where they want to go.

Fox want Roku?
90:06
Go ahead.
90:06
No, I, I think it's gonna be interesting to see w- how aggressively they are going to push this and whether then it's really about making money with ads or converting people who are tired of ads.
90:17
'Cause like coming from the media space or writing about the media space a lot, there's basically all those two models, right? There's Spotify and there's YouTube, and YouTube's makes the vast amount of their money with advertising and Spotify makes 90% of their money with, with subscriptions and 10% with advertising 'cause this has never been that successful.
90:36
They have a lot of people on the free tier, but ultimately it's about annoying you so much that eventually you're gonna pay because you don't wanna listen to yet another ad, like in your stream and yet another ad.
90:48
You wanna, don't wanna have ads play during your parties or whatever.
90:51
So eventually you sign up and pay for it.
90:53
So the question is like, are they gonna like put so many ads in there that you're like, "Fine, I give up.
