But how do you even get to open AI, right?

That's not easy on its own.

And you've had various roles like figure eight and little, like, can you talk to us a little bit of like, how did you even get to open AI?

How did you get to open AI?

Was it just like a resume?

Did somebody bring you in?

Walk me through.

How do you even get out of the people's pocket?

It wasn't as cool yet, I think.

For people who don't know, maybe explain to them what is modern AI.

I think when ChatGPT came up, it became like wildfire, but there was AI way before that because I came in the tech world and we were talking about AI way before what you're probably mentioning.

So maybe dumb it down for people who have no clue what you're talking about.

And it was insane.

I'm a techie, so I was tinkering with things, I think, before it was cool.

And then suddenly it was incredible to see how it just spread.

So what is it like that first day, the first week, the first month?

What does that December or January look like?

Because the whole thing is just exploding in a pace that I don't think anybody's ever witnessed.

What does that feel like?

Do you remember some numbers just for the listeners who are not sure how fast this grew?
