Like how long we're going to stay in this stage before we get to what Corey said, like, you know, this golden road, this promised land, which is just a bit further down the road.

It's just another billion dollars down the road.

Sure.

So I think from an AI search, AI service point of view, one of the challenges they have is understanding the source of where bits of information come from, right?

Yeah.

Because I could give you some instructions on how to fix your car engine might have stopped working.

And I have no idea about that, you know, but I could tell you some stuff that probably sounded right.

You know, you would much rather listen to someone who is like an experienced, qualified mechanic, right?

And

The beautiful thing about the link graph, and this is like the foundation of why Google set itself apart as a search engine, was this PageRank algorithm, which is essentially trying to judge initially the popularity of different documents on the web

based on how often they're linked to.

Because it's a very good proxy for popularity.

When people find a resource helpful, they will link to it.

And those votes, if we want to call them that, accumulate.

So if...

not all votes become equal.

So if everyone's got their vote and everyone say votes for me and I get 10 votes, my vote then is worth even more because I've already got 10 votes.

So it's really interesting how this lines up.

And then there's other layers to this, such as topicality.

So we know, for instance, if we're looking for information about cars, there's this interesting network of sites.
