You know, our good friend David Sachs, the AI czar, who's doing a heck of a job.

And it would seem to me, going back to the Manhattan Project analogy, that you have a president who understands how existential this is.

I find it ironic that just a couple years ago we were saying, China's building 100 nuclear reactors.

They're so far ahead of us.

Like, that's the primitive to AI.

But now you have people, when we go to build it, everybody says, oh, it's a glut.

Right?

Like, it seems to me that this is something that the government, it is in their interest.
