…I got the same technology in the more shoe, more enclosed form factor. I think they also called the Oras. It's so great, the best house shoes I've ever had, per your recommendation. Happy to recommend. Another one is a feature of a product that I found a couple of days ago that is freaking insane. I've had this thing where as iPhone cameras have gotten better and better, the computational photography, what Apple does to photos makes them look a certain way. I've gotten used to that way that photos look. Now that I'm using the big camera again, because we have a baby, I've gone back to using the Alpha 7C's and this very flexible lens that can either be a wide or a zoom lens that we're going to use actually for some upcoming interviews next year to get a tighter shot on the subject, I've been using that. I've been feeling like, God, these images are so grainy. Basically, anything that I shoot indoors feels like it has this really terrible grain. You look and of course, it's like this super high ISO, but the iPhone does so much smoothing that I've forgotten that film green is a thing. Lightroom shipped this unbelievable ML-powered denoise feature. I found out about it, because Nilay Patel was just on the talk show with John Gruber. He is right to say it totally pegs your GPUs while you're using it, but it is pure magic. You open up Lightroom, you select the photos, you can even select ones that don't seem noisy to you, and you come back. Unless you crank the setting way up, they look totally realistic. It doesn't look overly AI'd, but your photos just all get magically way better. So huge kudos to the Adobe team. I've been so impressed with everything that they're cranking out on the AI side. I think they are the enterprise company that has probably the best at rapidly commercializing these generative AI advancements. This one is immediately useful for me for everything that I shoot not with my iPhone. We did that ACQ2 episode with Chris from Runway. This sector application of AI in image and video, we're only just scratching the surface. The surface is already unbelievable. I just can't wait for what's coming.…
