Who cares if the developers are anti or for crypto? And who cares if they truly adopt this or not? It can be a way to speculate the value of the lone developer in Nebraska's thing and create value whether they take it or not. Because you can now have a betting world basically against all of open source.

And there's a way to make money or make money slash create value or speculate value and take away that value if you want.

I can't tell if he's being serious or not.

Plan B. How about Plan B? Yeah. That's Plan B. Yeah. Because, I mean, it's possible you'll be rejected. That would suck. Right? Because you spent years... Three years? Yes. Doing this? That would suck, right?

I don't know, though. I think with my idea, if it truly is a good idea, I think you could do both. It doesn't have to be just because you rejected plan B as X. I think it could be both based on what I hear. Now, this is 20 minutes of podcasting, which I haven't dug into the white paper or the details and stuff like that. But I can't see, based on what I've heard so far, why it couldn't be both.

Because it's already doing that. It already can be speculated against. If I have a project and Jared wants to stick against it, he can. So that's all you're doing. It's about perception and mechanics and marketing really is story than it is simply what it can or can't do.

You could do both, though. It's still possible to do... Just because you don't market it that way doesn't mean I can't use it that way. That's my point.

And then you give a pathway to this thing that's won... software's eating the world, open source is eating software, kind of thing. Now anybody who ever wants to speculate against open source can, not saying they would, I have no idea about that, but... It's an interesting... Something to chew on, at least. Something to chew on, for sure.

And you said it's trackable on Coinbase, is that right? Because of the way it's protocoled? He didn't name a specific one.

Is there a way that you could... leverage this to secure the open source supply chain as it's said? I don't really like the term supply chain, but that's the accepted term of open source supply chain.

Is there a way to leverage what you're doing with T, not just to incentivize to maybe gain value, but maybe leverage that in a way that can ensure security for open source packages or reward those who are more secure or just anything that just bolsters the security of open source?

So, yeah. So it's in our best interest to find a way to make this play out. Me and yours? Like, generally. We as in the community. Because if they have these kind of plans and there's altruistic ways to get there, we just have to— Well, I certainly want to know what he's going to disclose in the early next year.

Hopefully. Very soon. All right. Famous S-words. Good luck with your keynote as well. Yeah. All right, Max. All right. Thanks. What's up, friends? I'm here with a new friend of ours over at Assembly AI, founder and CEO Dylan Fox. Assembly AI is where you can turn voice data into insights, chapters, transcripts, summaries, and so much more with their leading speech AI models.

So Dylan, give me a glimpse into what you're doing with speech AI models at Assembly AI.

Okay, constantly updated speech AI models at your fingertips. Well, at your API fingertips, that is. A good next step is to go to their playground. You can test out their models for free right there in the browser. Or you can get started with a $50 credit at assemblyai.com slash practical AI. Again, that's assemblyai.com slash practical AI. Tell us about this. What do you guys want to hear about?

The state of open source funding, sustainability, pledging. OSSpledge.com. This is your new thing. OSS funds, open source funds. What's the state?

Tell me more about JSON.

It was a... I was surprised, too. I was paying attention. I think it was like a, I don't know, tell me, but I was surprised.

See, I saw it differently then. Okay. Not the analogy. I don't disagree with the analogy necessarily, but... All right, what are you seeing? I saw what you were doing with the open source pledge or OSS pledge, to be more clear. was an extension from what we did a while back with maintainer month and maintainer week. It was maintainer week and then maintainer month. And it was OSS fund.

It's the same idea that you started with Sentry, which was for every developer, whatever your number is, is your number. But you said $2,000 per developer was the good algorithm to use.
