Are we uh do we want to be the user facing company or do we want to be an API company?

And I think there's a little one of the sort of fallacies here is a sort of an appeal to authority, which is, you know, well that person is an AI scientist, so they must know if this is a threat to world peace.
Like no, they don't, they're an AI scientist.

We should do that, yeah.
