At MIT.
Yeah.
Well they kind of the Charlie Kirk style thing where they go to college campuses almost.

There's a uh God, there's a piece I want to say it was in the Washington Post a few years ago by Natasha Tiku about uh campus recruitment strategies that the effective altruists were into because they have, you know, just enormous piles of tech money.
that they were using to, you know, get 'em while they're young.
