The private sector played a significant role through various technologies of procurement, but there was an overall mission.

How are you thinking about AI?

Should governments first decide, like, what is our mission for this?

What missions could it theoretically enable?

Right.

Does this feel different than other endeavors?

We obviously know a lot of public sector money is going to wind its way up in AI and already has a lot of it already has.

But how are you?

Does this fit?

Is this different?

Talk to us about how you think about this particular moment of extreme sort of technological ambition.

The thing, like at one point, I mean, I don't think it actually panned out that great for them, but didn't Uber hire the entire Carnegie Mellon robotics team in one fell swoop?

I think they did.

I think when they were doing self-driving car technology, they just wrote a check for the entire faculty of the CMU robotics team.

And it was just like that.

But not enough people are talking about this.

Every time I hear, you know, Tracy, like someone talk about studying AI in college and like their professors.

I'm like, that's great.

But why are those professors not in the private sector making a hundred times?

I mean, many of them are.
