Look, let me speak against my own thesis.
There's a spectrum, okay?
On one end of the spectrum is when you have real differentiated product, in which case the product helps build the brand.
Google search, and now you Google something, right?
On the other hand, it's a commodity.
It's water.
I don't know why this is called Evian, right?
But this is a commodity.
Here, only brand matters.
So, depends where you're on the spectrum.
If all you are a commoditized product, yes, brand matters a lot.
If you are a differentiated product, then you build a brand on the back of the differentiated product, and you can decide where you want to be in that spectrum.
Yeah, look, I've been listening to some of your podcasts and I've been paying attention to what happens to the market because I want to understand where all this settles down, not just because I want to understand it, but it also impacts how I build my own business.
So you've got these phenomenal frontier models and they keep sort of
leapfrogging each other.
Every few days, there's a net new model that's delivered by OpenAI or by Google or by our friends at Anthropic.
And the question becomes, okay, fine, these models are moving at this pace.
What do I need to build?
What do I need to do with these models?
And as we came to that Mythos moment, when everybody was busy chasing Mythos, and that was kind of important, we realized even the best model has a high false positive rate.
