Wait, no, wait a second.
Yeah, well, it's actually an incremental $69. So the way it works is that- Oh, 60 on top. The lab gets 100 and then Harvard bills the government $69. That's insane. That's insane. And this is true. And the average is around 30% today across universities and other institutions. So there's also this very fundamental question that's being asked in science right now.
which is, are universities even the right place to be doing fundamental scientific research? In the United States, there are different models. Most of our research is done either at a private company, which is a small amount of research. And remember, I've talked about this a lot.
The big companies that have a market that's telling them you have to have a positive return on invested capital, that have the scale to invest, have the most incredible returns for America, like Google, Apple,
that put out the transformer model that launched everything that we see today and invested in Waymo for many years and drove the self-driving car revolution and all the work that was going on at Bell Labs up until we said Bell Labs is a monopoly, we broke them apart and they got destroyed.
And so we largely aim to destroy large private research institutions in this country because we claim that they're monopolistic because of the way they source capital, which is through activities in the marketplace.
So the question today that's being asked is, should we be doing fundamental scientific research at universities, given that over time, the administrative overhead has grown and they're basically creating administrative workloads and employing people without necessarily having a market incentive?
Oh my God. I want to add, Jamal.
I want to just address this because I think there's a moment here that I think will define a very different future for education, which is kind of a movement away from the current model of a school. AI is such a profound tool. The ability for AI to get to know your personality and just like teach my kids the way they want to be taught through conversation, through engagement, through dialogue,
knowing that some kids want to ask questions, and some kids want to just be told stuff. Some kids work at one pace, other kids work at another pace. And I know this idea of personalized education using computing has been around now for decades.
But we really are in this moment, where the idea of spending, you know, your first 18 years of life in a classroom where you're being told stuff that is quote, the truth versus learning how to engage with the world, ask questions,
explore your world, I find and identify things that are interesting to you, have it delivered to you in a very personalized, meaningful, rich way, that also makes you excited about certain things and helps usher you on to the next phase of your life of what do you want to do with this, and get kids out of this idea that you've got to go get the degree in order to get the job.
And then I think that the workplace will adjust to that. I forgot who it is, whether it was Palantir or someone just started doing this, they just did a program where they're like, skip college, come and do your, basically your apprenticeship here.
So instead of going to college, you'll, it's paid, you'll continue your education here, you'll work on projects, you'll make money and you'll continue to have your development be done while you're learning a valuable skill. So I do think like as AI kind of takes over education,
I do expect that the workplace will change, Tim, and we will start to see more of this integration between education and workplace enabled by this AI-driven kind of development system, which is going to be radically different than what we have today.
Have you used it to learn, Tim? Have you used it? Have you ever done any of the chat apps where you can talk to it and like, hey, you want to learn or get smart on something or get caught up on something? You can literally just ask questions and have a conversation with it.
Even if it's not great.
80%.
It all goes to charity. Was it, Freeberg, was it hard? Yeah, well, I shot the quarterfinal and semifinal in the same afternoon. So I didn't have any... You go away for lunch and you come back for the semifinals. And I did not know how to use that buzzer. And everyone else, I think, had practiced or figured that stuff out. So it was pretty difficult. And then my brain was just like...
blank on some of these moments. You're just up there. There's this intensity. You're in this game show. And it's like, I know the answer. Why is it not coming out of my mouth? Or why did I say that thing that I know is wrong that just came out of my mouth? It's a little bit kind of scary how much you play.
