And the second phase, which which relates to your your new question.

The second phase is I think the benefits of AI, the power of AI diffuses out globally, like to a degree people are really not expecting.

And furthermore, I think that's already happening.

And I and I think but this is also an answer, by the way, to your inequality question.

Because you know, the the the sort of assumption always is, well, you know, surely the biggest companies in the world will have access to the best technology or the rich people will have access to the best technology or whatever like that.

And it's actually quite striking if you look at AI.

I think it's the most hyper d hyper democratic, small d democratic technology I think we've ever seen.

And it follows kind of the internet and follows smartphones in this, which is why I'm pretty confident this is what's going on.

Happen.

I think it's already happening, which is the best AI in the world is the app that you download on your iPhone off the App Store.

The best AI in the world is OpenAI or whatever it, whichever one it is, of the you know, three, four, five that are really in the race.

You download that app, that's the best AI.

And by the way, look, you're in a quality point.

You're probably gonna have to pay 20 bucks for it.

And then if you really use it a lot, you're gonna have to pay 200 bucks for it.

But by the way, the free ones are pretty good now.

And by the way, Google gives away a lot of AI value for free.

And Microsoft is starting to do that, and others, others are doing that as well.

But the best AI in the world is the consumerized version that's available to everybody.

And so I I think there's a part two to our our earlier conversation, which is I think people all over the world, and I mean this is already happening because you know these apps now are all uh they're about to cross a billion users and they're they're growing fast.
