And I'll tell you why.

Most of you think of AI as, I'll just use the general term, as chat GPT.

For most of you, chat GP was the moment where you said, oh my God, this thing writes, and it makes mistakes, but it's so brilliantly verbal.

Right, that was certainly my reaction.

Most people that I knew did that.

It was visceral, yeah.

This was two years ago.

Since then, the gains in what is called reinforcement learning, which is what AlphaGo helped invent and so forth, allow us to do planning.

And a good example is look at OpenAI 03 or DeepSeek R1, and you can see how it goes forward and back, forward and back, forward and back.

It's extraordinary.

In my case, I bought a rocket company because it was, like, interesting.

And I know ... As one does.

As one does.

And it's an area that I'm not an expert in, and I want to be an expert, so I'm using deep research.

And these systems are spending 15 minutes writing these deep papers.

It's true for most of them.

Do you have any idea how much computation 15 minutes of these supercomputers is?

It's extraordinary.

So you're seeing the arrival, the shift from language to language, then you have language to sequence, which is how biology is done.

Now you're doing essentially planning and strategy.
