I mean, it's a very big, it's a very unique company.

When I got there, we actually were involved in changing Google to be much more AI oriented.

Yeah.
So Ray had written a book called How to Create a Mind.

What was the company's name?
Patterns Inc, right?
Patterns, yeah.

Ray had not yet met Larry Page.
And I knew Larry.
He was on my board at the XPRIZE and become a friend and a benefactor.
