I think, you know, given that we are heading into using more and more more emerging technology, whether it be within AI or biometrics, for the admin to be here and not give us any substance of what you think of each of these or how you all are, even if it's just sharing, you know, these are the specific agencies that are using it, or we work with the NYPD to and this set of technology or this, like, this mechanism of identifying shoplifters or whatever it is.

I just this is really disappointing given, you know, this should be a humongous focus of our city right now and our city's operation.
