They paid us, and they're using it for pre-training.
It's quite reasonable.
Is it the right price?
We have no idea.
But we did it so that we could be a part of the conversation and shape how these deals get done for content creators.
But Sax is right.
If you think about what is the...
ultimate output.
The output, if you look at how a transformer behaves, it's almost, it's impossible to say that it's copying the input.
It's just not how it works.
And so, I don't know what else to do.
I love you.
Yeah, I don't really love dictators. They're not good for society. They're not good for America. But, you know, it's not always America's job to fix all of that.
Yes, actually. So I believe in the founder mode, the Brian Chesky founder mode. I held a conference in New York recently that Brian was nice enough to speak at called hiring the art of hiring for founder mode.
So specifically for people who subscribe founders that subscribe to that view, how do you hire people and how is that different than what you would hire in a standard, you know, monstrosity of a company like Google or something?
Yeah, LinkedIn was pretty key. Like Reed left PayPal, started LinkedIn.
So yes, that's true. And then after that, I went back with back selection from PayPal days to slide, which is on the outsheep of history. We don't have to talk about that. But then I did jump into Square as the 20th employee and helped build a pretty good company.
I became a VC, you know, became lazy, you know, decided to be a VC in 2013, spent six years at Coastal Ventures, five at Founders Fund last year, almost the last year now.
That's true. So I had the benefit of having Vinod on the board of Square, which I think is typically how executives wind up turning into VCs, is you forge a relationship with board members. So like, for example, Rolof Bote, who runs Sequoia, had Mike Moritz on his board. Rolof was our CFO at PayPal, and Mike recruited him.
So that's a very common, same thing, Ravi at Sequoia today was the COO and CFO of Instacart. Again, same thing, Mike recruited him into Sequoia. So I think that's typically how people become VCs. I always knew I wanted to be a VC since 2003. I was a very active angel investor, as you know, even when I was concentrating on all these other jobs, I was writing a lot of checks.
