Casey, I couldn't help but notice that during much of the I.O. keynote, you were on your phone

playing Bellatro and doing emails on your laptop. Well, you know, when you have your agent

I'm Kevin Ruse and Techaldness at the New York Times. I'm Casey Noon from Platformer.

I can keep going. Please don't.

And they are doing a lot.

We heard about everything from like agenic search to these new like video editing models and products that they have all the way to Demis Asabas at the end of the keynote declaring

that we are in the foothills

of the singularity.
