You know, countries that stumble upon large oil reserves, they have that large oil reserve.

At some point, it's going to run out.

Like in Norway, you know, it runs out at some point.

And so it lends the country power and economic riches for a time period.

and then you exhaust it, and then you're looking for more oil.

Whereas AI is going to be a technology that will just keep compounding upon itself and will keep, you know, the smarter AIs, the more economic power you're going to get, which means you can build smarter AIs, which means you have more economic power, and so on and so forth.

And so there's going to be a flywheel that keeps going on AI, which means that it's not going to be a time-based technology

a time-limited resource, let's say, it's going to be something that will just continue racing and accelerating for the entire perpetuity.

And data is part of that.

Data is a big part of that.

Data is the core part of it.

Yeah, so a lot of times, actually, I like to compare data to oil versus AI to oil.

Yeah, yeah.

Well, I mean, I think that's totally true.

Like data, if you think about AI, it boils down to like, how do you make AI?

Well, there's like three pieces.

There's the algorithms, like the actual code that goes into the AI systems that really smart people have to write.

I used to write some of these algorithms back in the day.

Then there's the compute, the computational power, which boils down to large-scale data centers.

Do you have the power to fuel them?
