And that's why when Sam called me and said, hey, I'm pulling this thing together for AI for humanity.

Will you help?

The answer was yes.

And I was like, oh, I'm going to stop doing this crypto thing because this AI thing is coming.

And they're like, what AI thing?

I'm like, oh, it's coming.

And actually, I think my partners at Greylock were the first venture partnership that saw GPT-4 because I got Sam's permission.

I was on the board of OpenAI to say, hey, come in and demo this and show this.

Because there was a six-month period where GPT-4 was not public because we're like, oh, is it safe enough and all the rest?

Right.

And they were doing it.

I was like, okay, look, I think it's safe enough.

Is it okay to show the partnership?

And Sam's like, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Since you're serving on a 5.1c3 board of open AI trying to do this, this is the least we could do.

Yes, you could go show them what's coming.

And it's also, I think, connects a lot of your own personal relationships and dots.

So you were notoriously, as we were alluding to earlier, part of the PayPal mafia.
