It's a different type of intelligence. But that intelligence is not equipped to work in the context of business operations where you need reliability.

It's very small to invest $9 trillion to create $9 trillion a year. I think it would be an easy investment if there is a predictable outcome. But do you really think that just adding GPUs and with the existing algorithm to train, they will suddenly become godlike intelligent? I don't understand. There are many signals that the training kind of plateaued.

What is the signal that the training plateaued? I heard even Sundar saying recently that they are not seeing much more gains by training alone. So there should be something else.

You can plan maybe a bit less aggressively, but more consistently. I think it's better to plan and execute a growth of 30% year over year rather than 80%, 60%, 30%, 20%, 10%. Because in a way, doing such a huge aggressive growth makes you maybe sometimes steal from the future. Not knowingly, but you discover in time. An organic growth in a public market, it's better rewarded.

There are stages where founders mode work better. When I hired Rob, he's actually a great guy. But when I hired him, I didn't realize that we were still at the stage where founder mode is essential. I thought we are at the stage where we are more established and we need an experience that is stage appropriated for something bigger than us.
