Yeah. I mean, I think it provided initially a sense of community for engineers and intellectuals and rationalists in the early days. And it seems like the community was very healthy, but then You know, they formed all sorts of organizations and started routing capital and having actual power, right? They have real power. They influence the government, they influence most AI orgs now.

Okay, so I have a particular regimen. I would say my favorite days are... 12 p.m. to 4 a.m. And I would have meetings in the early afternoon, usually external meetings, some internal meetings.
