Venture with Grace

[00:54:39] S0: Speaking of retail, what is the current landscape of people building an AI in the traditional compared to AI native companies? Do you feel like AI native companies are actually spending more AI budget? Or who is actually owning the AI budget in these groups? Do they typically have a chief AI officer? And how is the budget allocated? Is that each department has an AI budget then you go after the department versus, like, that there's, AI guy at every company right now. [00:55:13] S1: Yeah. So I I have to say that it's still unfortunately, like... So first of all, to your question is there is a definitely a massive massive difference between AI native companies. So I think a six and z recently shared this ad that the median company kind of, like, spends about $13 per employee per month, while the top 1% spend $10,000 per employee per month. Right? So there's, like, now... Like, you know, more than two order... Orders of magnitude kind of between kind of the most AI native companies and the median company. And so I would say that, this is kind of, like, just a massive difference. Now within departments, honestly, wish we would see, like, you know, like a smaller allocation, but I think most companies are just like, oh, you know, every employee gets $20 and, like, whatever. Like, it's just... It's kinda sad. Like, you know, there's nothing more intelligent. [00:56:15] S0: Okay. So I want to be mindful of the time. Maybe we'll wrap with a thirty second fire round. What's your favorite book? [00:56:21] S1: Oh my god. Catch-22.
