And there are lots of times in our history... So there's the economic version of that, which is like, all right, we build something and they're just like, I'm going to take a bunch of your money.

But then there's the...

The qualitative version, which is actually what kind of upsets me more, which is there's a bunch of times when we've launched or wanted to launch features, and then Apple's just like, nope, you're not launching that.

It's like, that sucks, right?

And so...

The question is, what is like are we kind of set up for a world like that with AI where like you're going to get a handful of companies that run these closed models that are going to be in control of the APIs and therefore going to be able to tell you what you can build?

Well, for one, I can say for us,

it is worth it to go build a model ourselves to make sure that we're not in that position.

I don't want any of those other companies telling us what we can build.

But from an open source perspective, I think a lot of developers don't want those companies telling them what they can build either.

So the question is, what is the ecosystem that gets built out around that?

What are interesting new things?

How much does that improve our products?

I know there's a lot of cases where if this ends up being like, you know, like our databases or caching systems or architecture, we'll get valuable contributions from the community that will make our stuff better.

And then our app specific work that we do will still be so differentiated that it won't really matter.

Right.

It's like, well, we'll be able to do what we do.

We'll benefit in all the systems, ours and the communities will be better because it's open source.

There is one world where, um,

Maybe it's not that.
