So I think that the restructuring was also related to some of these things.

I was hearing that Elon was pretty frustrated with the pace the company was moving at, even though a lot of people said it was going too fast in a lot of areas, like safety and too slow in other areas.

Like they were always playing catch up and trying to just do exactly what OpenAI and Anthropic were doing instead of charting its own course, according to some sources I spoke with.

So yeah, I think that...

You know, Elon wants to be the premier frontier lab company doing exactly what OpenAI and Anthropic are doing, working with the government, enterprises, and consumers.

But he wants to do it in an edgier way while still being brand safe, which is a recent focus for him, it seems like.

No, I mean, that's exactly what sources were telling me.

They were like, yeah, basically his thesis is, oh, I see that OpenAI or Anthropic did this.

Okay, let's do it too.

But it's hard to get better at something that someone else is already really good at, especially if you're not doing anything differently.

You're just trying to chart the exact same course and catch up.

So that's what a lot of sources were telling me that led to frustrations within the company.

That it was like a lot of catch up, a lot of like pressure to work at breakneck speed.

But even then they weren't catching up.

And then the only things they were like known for as being different were like embarrassing porn stuff.

So, yeah.

Basically, all of these companies are leapfrogging each other every week when it comes to which is better at what.

So, you know, Cloud Code was having a moment for months.

Now some people are saying OpenAI's new model is actually better at coding.

I mean, obviously, engineers love to do and work with whatever model is the best that week.
