00:00I think as the personalization loop kicks in and the AI just starts to get to know you

00:05better and better, um, I think that will just be really compelling. Um,

00:13you know, one thing just from working on social media for a long time

00:18is, um, there's this stat that I always think is crazy. The, the average American I think has,

00:23I think it's fewer than three friends, three people that they'd consider friends and,

00:28and the average person has demand for meaningfully more. I think it's like 15 friends or something,

00:34right? I guess there's probably some point where you're like, all right, I'm just too busy. I can't

00:37deal with more people, but, but the average person wants more connectivity, a connection than they

00:42have. Um, so, you know, there's a lot of questions that people ask of stuff like, okay, is this going

00:50to replace kind of in-person connections or real life connections? And my default is that the answer

00:59to that is probably no. I think it, it, it, you know, I think that there are all these things

01:03that are better about kind of physical connections when you can have them. But the reality is that

01:09people just don't have the connection and they feel more alone, um, a lot of the time than they would

01:15like. So I think that a lot of these things that today, there might be a little bit of a stigma

01:20around. Um, I would guess that over time we will find the vocabulary as a society to be able to

01:29articulate why that is valuable and why the people who are doing these things are like, why they are

01:34rational for doing it and like, and how it is adding value for their, for their lives. But, but also I

01:39think that the field is very early. So, um, I mean, it's like, I, I think, you know, there are a handful

01:45of companies and stuff who are doing virtual therapists and, you know, there's like virtual

01:49girlfriend type stuff, but it's, um, it's very early.
