> This year we reached a significant milestone:

> We successfully interacted with a member of the public.

> Because our corporate Uber was in the process of being set up, we had to take a public bus. On that bus, we overheard a man talking about AI on the phone.

> "I don't know," he said. "All the safety stuff seems like a load of bullshit if you ask me. But who cares what I think? These tech bros are going to make it anyway."

> He then looked over in our direction, giving us an opportunity to shrug and pull a face.

> He resumed his conversation.

> We look forward to more opportunities to interact with members of the public in 2026!
