▶ 13:45 Benedict Evans Um, and I thought this was interesting looking at the whole, like, mid-journey, you stole my work thing.

▶ 27:22 Benedict Evans You know, we're going, quickly going to go to a model in which, um, you can run stable diffusion on the journey yourself on your computer or on your phone.
