@yrechtman @dan_fordyce1 nah... you are useful down here in the salt mines with us... ;)

I just asked my bot to one-shot write our entire AGM LP update deck (just to see what it would do)... I am BLOW AWAY. This is far better & more insightful than what we would have written on our own. Wild.

@Nepo_capital nope. that is at best a VJ interpretation of what i have been saying :)

[sam lessin 🏴‍☠️ @lessin]

@Nepo_capital well... if you could read the deck - you would see it is business wise quite in line with what i have been saying for years ... incumbents win, asset owners win - it is great to use but commodity that will ultimately prove to not be business disruptive vs make rich richer z:)
