57:39 What’s Next & Sign-off

1. Gemini Ultra isn’t cheap—but it turns every Google surface into an agent hub.
2. Split-stack living is here: run Microsoft Copilot and Apple/Google gear to hedge innovation risks.
3. OpenAI + Jony Ive = hardware renaissance. Expect Apple-grade devices with GPT brains.
4. Just-In-Time apps kill single-purpose SaaS. If you’re shipping software, ship the outcome, not the dashboard.
5. Dyson & Tesla prove physical product still wins hearts—marry great engineering with AI or be forgotten.
6. National-resource monetization is a realistic abundance play, not sci-fi economics—if you treat energy and compute as public utilities.
