Uh, I wrote this essay called Loopcraft. Uh, I think Joel in the audience did a workshop on it yesterday. Can you still hear me? Are we good? Sorry, I, I, um, had a mic slip. Um, and I think this is something that is basically a core skill of AI engineer, uh, is"

Uh, we have a forward-deployed engineering track this, uh, today, which I'm very excited about. Um, all of this is meant to see how AI is just diffusing finally beyond coding. Okay. Um,"

Basically, it was kind of linear. Then we had the first World's Fair, 2024, uh, about two thousand people. 2025, uh, was, uh, I think I maybe skipped, uh, skipped a few lines.

Um, uh, that The Highest Loop is where humans come together to figure out what the next loop is, right? The loop that makes loops. Um, so we organize AI Engineer summits all around the world.
