So that the company was not just like a thing unto itself doing its own thing for profit. It was part of a, of a, of a bigger community around and, and, and acted as such a good example of that is Fiskars. So, you know, Fiskars, I mean, it's the orange handled scissors and like gardens.

lots of really fascinating stories like that and this really inspiring so and then like the oldest of all time is kongogumi which is the construction company from japan which started in the fifth century and essentially it was liquidated four years ago uh because it just couldn't at that there was just too much debt in japanese economy kind of screwed them over but the 80th generation of the congo family had to put this business out of business we're talking about pressure

Yeah. So I actually don't think that that is the most valuable use. Totally could do that. Okay, go ahead. And interestingly enough, the first version of ChatGBT, I guess the second one, maybe.
