And then I spoke with our chief of AI and he's like, well, those ideas already exist in a different form and Yann LeCun is pioneering it.

So I'm like, okay, I want to learn more.

So it was like a natural

progression of things it was never me like imagining myself being a tech whatever person in Silicon Valley I was never I was never imagining myself doing this I was like oh I'm just gonna be a professor I'm gonna be teaching I'm just gonna go deeper publish my papers

So when the solution came for the architecture, my first instinct was like, oh, I'm just going to publish a paper and get a tenure somewhere.

And then I met a friend and he's like, oh, if you're in academia, it's kind of going to be hard for you to move the same speed as AI companies.

So maybe you should consider starting a company.

And I was eight months pregnant by then.

And I already had my own home.

I was like very nested, you know, and I'm like, no, no, no.

Yeah.

And you know, academia is amazing place.

Like you're just doing science unconditionally.

And industry, I feel like you have to force to make it conditionally because your business has to be profitable and you have to like take into account other variables.

But on another hand, you have a lot of resources from your investors who are also your trusted partners.

And you like aligned on the vision and that's what makes it powerful.

And I'm very happy that I made this choice.

I'm still doing what I was doing.

It's just like the scale of things is larger.

Yeah.
