Do you feel like it's incumbent on you and leaders in tech and AI to kind of help map out a new message and a new way of thinking for people about that?
As Satya said in the essay, a lot of economists would say NAFTA and free trade has been a net benefit to the United States.
But for those whose work was displaced or whose lives were forever changed,
I don't think we can pretend that it was easy for those people.
And I think all he seems to be pointing to is like, I don't think the right course is just to kind of throw our hands up and just kind of be like, hope for the best.
You know, we can do a little better than that.
Microsoft found a lot of the same struggles that a lot of really, really large technology companies have found to kind of get to the point where you're at the very, very top has been difficult for Meta and Amazon and Microsoft and Apple.
All of them have tried to kind of do it in-house and all of them have really struggled.
How big of a problem is that for Microsoft?
You know, if you're depending on another company and capabilities you don't own, then there's that risk that you will be sort of made unnecessary eventually.
In the beginning, they were one of OpenAI's earliest partners.
I think they helped build OpenAI into what it is with funding and backing and also kind of bringing OpenAI to Microsoft's customers, you know, to people who are using Microsoft.
OpenAI wanted to kind of find other partners for computing resources.
So I think they saw that maybe demand would be astronomical for the kind of computing that is needed to kind of process incoming questions and queries and requests for AI systems.
so expensive and they need so much computing to do it.
And so I think they wanted, they struck deals with multiple partners and it seemed like a lot of them were aimed at kind of spreading OpenAI's connections across tech and even across the economy.
Exactly.
I mean, it's this weird contest between, like, who becomes the less valuable thing in this race.
Is it incumbents like Microsoft?
Who, you know, the upstarts say, hey, we can write all the software.
