“The explosion of data, you mentioned it, being able to analyze that data. You cannot do it as a human, in nearly the time that it takes, you know, a machine to do it. And so that is going to fundamentally change, a lot within the entire society, I believe.”
“And now there's some sort of crisis, the network goes down, you're on satellite, or you run into an area where there's no cellular coverage, and you've got satellite. The user has to change their behavior because now they don't have access to, you know, video or 4K video. They're doing messaging and everything. But you know, user behavior is learned. That will change. I think, just to reiterate, we don't see it as a competitive offering at all. We see it as an enabler for telcos to extend their coverage.”
"The part that really impressed me lately is the text-to-image functionality. I mean, they're creating something imaginary out of a prompt which is mind-blowing and eye-opening. I mean, we are less than a year into these types of things. [on generative AI]"
