Morning Joe starts right now. Iran was t the bully of the Middle East. They're not the bully anymore.With the help of everyone here today, this has been by far the most successful first year of any administration in the history of our country, acknowledged by everybody.

Kelly has hired her first full-time human employee. If you put the AI in the leadership position, aren't you inherently kind of staying inside of consensus? The role of the orchestrator or the person controlling AI is to figure out where there are views that are correct but diverge from the consensus. >> There's tons of $10 million ideas laying around. Perhaps that's the lowhanging fruit. My end goal for Kelly is that she will be able to come up with idea, build whatever she needs, market and sell that soft ...

There's like so much genius in every point one second of content that I make. Like every little millisecond is calculated and dialed and thought through. I think that stems from being a creator from Vine where you had 6.9% seconds.People thought it was six, but it was actually 6.9%. And every second and millisecond had to be measured out and calculated and changed and edited around. And so, >> [snorts] >> I think that like meticulous nature of what I do and create has, you know, obviously helped me since si ...

I think that what's happening now with the use of AI, the way that we're using AI in our everyday lives, as a way to augment our own capabilities, it's something that's going to come into manufacturing much, much faster than anything previous to it. We're in the process of fundamentally reimagining the design, build, and operate phases of the lifecycle of products. What AI is doing is helping us understand how we collapse a very complex environment down into a very simple one loop for engineering, design, m ...
