We saw a New York Times op-ed from an ex-OpenAI company

employee who said the ad stuff was really her reason for leaving.

And then sometimes we see them just imply it by saying, hey, I'm really excited to work at this place because of these specific three reasons.

Yeah.

It is the same vibe, but I think there's a lot more meaning behind it for a lot of these people.

They all really are true believers most of the time.

They really believe that what they are doing is directly impacting the world for better or worse.

Really believe that where they work is going to matter hugely in terms of the societal impacts.

Peter's story is a really good example of the type of entrepreneur success story that a lot of tech industry people are hoping for because there's a pretty constant hustle of pro-AI, build quick as an independent person, culture online.

So it's also a pretty good indication of how fast the AI labs are moving and how much pressure there is for them to iterate and constantly one-up each other on all these different features, especially when it comes to agents.

So that's why I think Peter was such a...

representative success story here because he built for himself, just like independently, a tool that a lot of people thought was way better than any of the other agent tools out there for multiple reasons.

And so, of course, OpenAI, Anthropic, everyone else are sitting up and taking notice and saying,

wait, what have we been doing wrong?

We had a ton of people on this and this one guy beat us.

It's not like, you know, everyone was adopting it, but a lot of people did.

And it was, it went viral.

Everyone was talking about it.

It was, it was a big deal.

And I think that even though it had a lot of security risks, people were just going for it left and right.
