There were about a dozen, maybe 20 websites at the time in the mostly university physics department.
And if you were using the internet, the action was elsewhere.
It wasn't on the web.
It wasn't through the web browser back then.
But it was really clear that the browser was offering a new way of interacting with the internet.
And just in that one year from 92 to 93,
the number of websites in the world expanded by a factor of 50 or 100.
And just keep that in mind, like 100x back in 1992 to 1993.
And in a sense, my whole career has been defined by that experience, by falling into the internet a year earlier and then making sense of the web browser.
So when Jensen brought up that parallel, the most important thing since the web browser, of course, it really spoke to me.
He's had the same epiphany that I have, or perhaps I've had the same one that he has had.
But he went on to say that every company now needs an open-claw strategy.
And I think that that is the key that unlocks how to make sense of a lot of what was said by NVIDIA earlier this week.
Now, it's completely wild because before January the 30th, nobody had heard of OpenCLAW.
I mean, it wasn't even called OpenCLAW.
But even on January the 20th, 10 days before it got renamed, the project on GitHub, which is where open source projects live,
had about 5 000 stars now that's not a nothing burger it's impressive but it's not radical it's not top of the leaderboard which is where open claw now sits and it is wild it is crazy it's unprecedented i am running out of words
that by March the 16th, 45 days later, the CEO of the world's most valuable firm, the firm powering roughly 90% of all AI compute, said, every company needs an open-claw strategy.
Now, of course, he is largely right.
And I'll talk to you about our open-claw strategy a little bit later, so hang on in.
