- "If you don't understand, I don't think you can optimize any process. It can't, it doesn't need to be revenue, but the things that I'm like really excited, if I flip the page a bit, I think, like we've been expecting this, but the large language models are becoming a commodity."

- "I think making these ethically, like ethically, successful is a very big challenge because let me make an analogy here. Even explaining one decision tree or random forest, it's super hard. Like it doesn't make sense to humans."
