So to me, voice-verified

I I don't see the the reason to treat this differently than using their products commercially without the investment. voice-verified

Yeah. voice-verified

Uh last thing on this, we made the market made such a big fuss last year over all the work that Sam did to get compute. voice-verified

For open AI in anticipation of future demand. voice-verified

And now they're able to reset codecs limits pretty frequently. voice-verified

They're able to give out, you know, what is this 800 million dollars in compute credits to YC startups. voice-verified

I kind of think that if we could rewind the clock, we should have been slightly more positive about the compute work that OpenAI did last year because it does seem to be today coming good as Anthropic scrambles to find any GPU, TPU, or ASIC that it can to get its inference through. voice-verified

So I think voice-verified

over a hundred K in time. voice-verified

Your thoughts? voice-verified

across New York City, Jason, it has the highest average cost of a hotel at 335 per night and the highest occupancy rate at 84%. voice-verified

So a couple more data points about this before everyone jumps and tries to go become a housekeeper for 100K in New York City. voice-verified

Uh the wages will rise by about 50% over the next eight years, which works out to about 5% compounded annually. voice-verified

Their prior contract was 3.5% to 4%. voice-verified
