And so again, I think that that's one of the big problems is it's gonna differentiate like haves and have-nots in that space.

And I think we should be really cognizant of that and try to think of solutions to it.

I think the other problem is,

There's a real risk that done incorrectly that any of these models can just exacerbate who already has a lot of money.

So for instance, imagine in a version of the future that we just set a price for an article.

An article costs a tenth of a cent or something in order to purchase.

And so every time your agent goes and does that, a tenth of a cent goes out of your account.

And again, we can talk about the mechanics of how that would happen.

But we do that.

The challenge is that if we do that, especially if it's a bid-based system, then the winner of whoever gets access to the articles is just who has the most money today.

And so that means that Google, Meta, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, like those companies could basically block everyone else who's out there out.

And what I really worry about is how do we make sure that as we create these systems, that a new entrant, a new startup,

you know, is able to have access in a way that, you know, that they don't have to pay the same amount as someone like Google.

And so at some level, I think we've got to figure out how do you pay different amounts depending on what your scale is.

And the answer might be, it's just, it's a percentage of what your revenue is.

Like if your revenue is really high,

You put more into the pool.

If you're just starting out, you put less into the pool, but it's still the same percentage that's getting built in.

And then if you're successful and you grow, then that will grow with it.

But I think we have to be really, really, really careful as we design the market to make sure that we, yeah, I think we'll solve a lot of the problems we've had, but we may create whole new problems going forward.
