Here is the statement that I was going to read today at the hearing but the time was cut from [--] minutes to [--] seconds so I had to adjust. I posted the following on the written record. SB 5974"

"An agent is an app. Someone wrote the "code" describing what an agent does. Someone came up with a description of a business process (or business problem) that the agent followed. Data in business does not exist without semantics. $MSFT CEO Satya Nadella is effectively calling the end of software applications as the value layer. In an agentic world apps become passive databases while AI agents hold the intelligence make decisions & do the work Apps become commodities while agents become the business. https://t.co/SCgXGl0JKw $MSFT CEO Satya Nadella is effectively calling the end of software"

"The Microsoft Library was a crown jewel of the early days. They bought ever PC book and two copies of every software. If you found one you needed that they didn't have they acquired it. They subscribed to every magazine. If you ever wanted a copy of an article from anywhere you emailed "library" and they would send a photo copy. I was in the same building as the library for a long time (everything was close by). I spent so much time there. At night when we were all still at work the library had part time people that came in and made copies of the requested articles and put them in yellow"
