Maybe, again, 10, 20 years down the road, maybe things will be different.

But right now, it makes total sense to go all in on a company that really specializes in this.

And if you want a company that you already have a good relationship with and that has all the levels of the stack, that has first party flagship models and huge infrastructure, the only answer is Google.

So I think this again, I'm very optimistic about this partnership.

What an amazing world we live in.

As a computer nerd, look, I know there's a lot of bad stuff going on in the world, and we'll get to it, but
