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.

But I'm always like amazed that given how much money is money on the table.

Yeah.

What are you doing at a university?

You're probably making 10 times.

Where did that money come from?

Just from a pure sort of history of technology standpoint, does AI feel different?

Right.

No, I've totally thought about the same thing where it just like feels like we're going to have this arms race where it's like my bot will argue with your bot.

And then the only entities that make any money are the bot makers, the bot makers themselves.

So obviously we're talking about the public sector.

We're talking about the government's role in facilitating or guiding various technologies.
