And so, you know, a bunch of these things were just my wife, me just following the coattails of my wife.

I used to, I used to call Sam periodically before whenever, whenever I would like be thinking about doing something new.

Sam and I didn't know each other super well, but we knew each other well enough to, to, you know, to do a quick phone call.

And because he always has his like hands in lots of different things.

He's like doing fusion startups and all of this stuff.

I remember talking to him like in 2020 or something.

And he was like, you know, AI will not replace blue collar jobs first.

It'll replace white collar jobs first.

Coding is going to be one of the big things for AI.

This was 2020.

And none of us used AI particularly much, at least not outside of like classical ML models that, you know, ranking your feed and stuff.

And I just remember being like, yeah, whatever, dude, you know, sure.

But like, let's talk about something.

And so anyways, the OpenAI thing happened because I called him and this time he was like, actually...

you know what, we have this role open.

You should come talk to us.

As soon as I did, I was just like, I don't care, like I'll work for free.

I don't, just, this is the most interesting thing in the world.

And if you give me an offer, I'm coming.

So fortunately he did.
