I get to design shirts with some of the best fashion designers in the world. Statues. A sculpture of my wife. Bring back the Roman tradition of designing sculptures of people you love. Wow. I'm not at all being facetious. It's really cool. I think Daniel Arsham is a really talented guy, and I was like, that's a person who I'd love to work with on something. Let's go find a project.

One of my side projects is, we have this cattle ranch in Kauai, and I'm trying to see if we can raise the highest quality beef in the world. There's all this stuff. It starts with... It's awesome. We got this steer... Chonk? He's just the man. He's the man.

We're having a hard time keeping him on the ranch because every time we put him in a steel enclosure and he sees a female cow, he busts through the steel enclosure. But I feel like that's the kind of bull that you want to make the highest quality beef in the world. And we're just working with, you know, trying to do really high quality, awesome things with awesome people.

If that's what I get to do for the next 15 or 20 years, then like, it's gonna be a good 15 or 20 years.

No, I think that there might've been something around the way the company shifted in operations around COVID. I mean, it's like the COVID, like all these tech companies went remote temporarily and it was an interesting period to just like get some more time, like a step back. I'm a pretty introverted person and I do think it's,

I need to be careful where like, I get a lot of value and energy and ideas from being around other people, but I also need time with myself. And with COVID, I kind of got that. And it was a time of reflection where I was able to think about this stuff. And we were also going through this very difficult political time in the country. And our company was at the center of a lot of those things.

So that was a cause of a bunch of reflection. And then I think that a bunch of the things that we'd, spun up earlier, but at smaller scale. So the Reality Lab stuff that we started in 2014, really, the FAIR stuff around fundamental AI research, 2012, 13? 2012, 2013, sometime around then.

These things, they kind of got started, and they were growing, and it kind of reached this moment which is like, are we going to double down on this and do this, or are we going to kind of do this as a hobby? And I was like, no, I think we should do this. This is going to be a really important part of what we do.

And we had to make a really important set of decisions where we knew it was going to be really painful to... go double down on those things and build out the AI infrastructure that we needed to and scale up some of the Reality Lab stuff. And I knew that a lot of the investors would hate it, at least in the short term before it's clearly the right thing to do.

What I didn't know was that at the time, I thought they were gonna not like it. But I thought it was going to be OK, because I didn't think there was also going to be a recession at the same time. So that, really, it's like, I mean, look, you learn who you are through challenges.
