Sorry, sorry, sorry.
If you're going to be in tech and you're going to win, you're going to have to make some trade-offs.
And remember, we're up against the Chinese.
The Chinese work-life balance consists of 996, which is 9 a.m.
to 9 p.m.
six days a week.
By the way, the Chinese have clarified that this is illegal.
However, they all do it.
That's who you're competing against.
Well, you and I just talked about this as part of your, as your incredibly important work in the White House.
I had thought that China and the United States were competing at the peer level in AI and that the good work that you have done and your predecessors did to restrict chips were slowing them down.
They're really doing something more different than I thought.
They're not pursuing crazy AGI strategies, partly because of the hardware limitations that you've put in place, but partly because the depth of their capital markets don't exist.
They can't raise, based on a wing and a prayer, $100 million or the equivalent to build the data centers.
They just can't do it.
And so the result is they're very focused on taking AI and applying it to everything.
