Yeah.

I think we're kind of taking the unique angle on this generally, which is that we are training specifically on people. Our data is all people. And we are specifically generating people. We also are going to have conditioning, the ability to provide like a skeleton, for example. This is the exact animation I want to play out. This is the exact TikTok dance I want you to do, for example.

It'll just make it happen. And that actually makes the model much more likely and better to be able to learn what human anatomy looks like and what's normal and what's abnormal. People do have six fingers. It does happen. The model doesn't know that.

Obviously, it's not that that's the training data that's causing it, but it may not fully realize that if not enough training data has been given to it that shows hands in all kinds of configurations and doing all kinds of things. So our goal is to solve that human generation problem, like just actors essentially in general.

Definitely. I mean, I think... With all these types of things, we're always let's go with our mission and not worry about what others are doing. But yes, a lot of people care about what we're doing. In fact, I think I would say in terms of bigger companies, I think we're seeing an interesting evolution.

We kind of fall in an interesting spot where we semi-collaborate with a lot of social networks because we're beneficial to their growth. We create content and all social networks need content. And we have un-watermarked content, content that is original. And this was a big problem for Instagram, if you remember, like when they launched Reels, everything had like a TikTok watermark on it.

And it was recycled TikTok, basically. But we have a lot of that type of good content that's being generated on our platform, by the way, like hundreds and hundreds of thousands a day that's going to social media. And so we end up being a valuable partner for a lot of social networks. And we've seen like the social network landscape evolve in that sense.

A lot of VCs ask the question like, what if Facebook copies you? What if Google copies you or something like that? And I think what we're starting to see is like Google and Facebook are not the copying companies anymore. They're not copying anything. They're just doing their own thing. And the copying company actually is TikTok or ByteDance more generally.

I don't know how this shift exactly happened. Facebook suddenly became the good guys. I think Mark Zuckerberg is a hero now for putting all these models out, making all this open source stuff. Suddenly his vibe has completely shifted. And then I think TikTok has become essentially what Facebook was. Capture, kill, destroy everything that exists in every market that exists.
