Just kind of like, I've heard what he generally said. But basically, like... kind of calming down and just, he said things that just like resonated as a person who's also tired of people like Sama. Uh, I don't know if he's actually tired of Sama, but, uh, was there something he said about like pulling back on the open AI partnership or was that just a reaction stuff? Okay.

It's something weird like that. And a lot of his comments were about how much he hates this term AGI.

Yeah, I loved, you've tweeted something about this, I think the last couple of weeks, just the idea of like building apps. So like enough of the shovels and we're just so plugged into the whole like dev tools scene, I guess on Twitter, that it does feel like that's the big focus for the people that we're around. I love the idea of like this technology enables all kinds of new products.

Go build those products, like end user products. Yeah. I mean, that was like StatMuse. When we started StatMuse, it was like, hey, all this NLP tech exists. And this is like old school NLP tech. Nothing like what you could do today. But all these tools exist, and there's just no consumer products that are using NLP. There was Wolfram Alpha, and that was it.

And it was like, why doesn't this exist for looking up my favorite sports player's stats? So that's very much always been my thesis of like use the stuff that's available. And so often we think we have to build new tools when like there's plenty of tools to build cool applications. It's way more fun, I think.

Yeah, I love that tweet you had talking about like AWS came after Amazon, like all the different examples of the big shovels coming after the products.

Other things that you said, the infrastructure, like basically, obviously, we're going to build way too much. We're going to invest way too much capex. And he's excited to lease from all the people that build too much infrastructure. Yeah. Interesting.

Can I make a really dumb comment or observation? Yeah. We're sure the GPU thing is the right way to do this, right? I don't know. It's so weird to me... That a thing that was made for rendering video games then turned out to be really good at this AI training and just the serendipity of that.

And then thinking how many bazillions of dollars are going to be put into building these GPUs and these huge data centers full of these GPUs. And then what if somebody's like, oh, actually, if we just do this whole thing, it's way better. And it looks nothing like GPUs.

I see. This is why I said it was a dumb comment, because I knew I don't know anything about any of this. It just feels like a huge amount of money and time and effort are going to be put into building these huge data centers. Yeah. And it just feels like it's hinging on some very... I don't know. Assumptions. Assumptions, yeah. Some solid assumptions around GPUs.
