I'm 95 years old, I've got nothing but time and Cherry Coke, and I want to know, just so I have something to tell my fellow shareholders, why should they hold their Berkshire shares for the long term?""
""As you've all picked up, that was a deepfake. Here's the interesting thing: That was done with zero input from Warren. We were able to obtain that with information that's out there and replicate those actions and that voice.""
""The reality is that's what we're dealing with when we think about Berkshire and how we have to protect it every day.""
""We're not going to rush into employing AI technology across the company. We have to be cautious about how we implement it.""
