So I'm not too worried, but maybe a little bit, and I would just encourage entrepreneurs to try to claim a space for their own.

And by the way, Airbnb was that.

It was kind of accidental, but like in 2007, everyone wanted to do like a social networking something.

And we were like, it was tempting for us to try to be a social networking something something as well.

It was accidental that we inflated through airbeds one weekend and created airbed and breakfasts, and people thought it was the worst idea ever.

I guess it became like the worst idea that ever worked, but we carved our own space, as did Uber, and we weren't trying to be anything else.

And so I kind of, and by the way, OpenAI,

wasn't trying to be anyone else either.

Maybe they were a little bit like DeepMind, but AI was not the thing when OpenAI Anthropic got started.

So I do think there is something about not chasing trends.

I think once it's a trend, it can be a little crowded and to try to claim out your own space.

And I would say there's so much of the US economy that AI hasn't yet touched.

Yeah, I'm really worried that an entire generation of designers, artists, and creative people are going to decide to kind of sit out AI.

And I think it's the biggest opportunity for creative people in my lifetime.

By the way, this is not the first time designers were late.

We creatives and designers were really late to the internet and web.

So going back 30, 35 years, most of the prestigious designers did not get into so-called web design.

Web design was considered a lower tier, lower status design and they stayed with print, all the established people.

And so they did not really chase design.

What ended up happening was because you had a lot of these really excellent designers that did not go into web design,
