Hello and welcome to Sleet Money, your guide to the business and finance news of the week.

I'm Felix Simon of Bloomberg. I'm here with Elizabeth Spires of New York Times.

Hello.

With Emily Peck of Axios.

Hello, hello.

And we have an AI extravaganza this week.

We are finally doing it, people.

And I can tell you the story, which is basically that Elizabeth went into the Slack one day and said,

listen, we can't talk about AI unless we have someone who knows what they're talking about.

And specifically gave the example of this one guy, Paul Ford.

And I'm like, we love Paul on this show.

And so, ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, the one and only Paul Ford.

We have to stop meeting like this. You probably need

no introduction. You've been on this show many times, but who are you? And how do you know about this

AI thing? So I am the president and co-founder of an AI services and platform shop. We build

things for clients using AI. But I also still sort of function as a journalist

and a technologist. So I write and talk about it. And around the beginning last year, I brought myself

sort of out of retirement as a programmer in order to really see if I, as a pretty mid-level

programmer, could use these new tools to be productive and to really get my head around them. And so I've spent the last more than a year, but especially the last four or five months,

just going super, super deep and trying to just get my bearings.

And so that's what I can share with you.

So this is amazing.
