And those are the brand names today.
Elon Musk, obviously, Peter Thiel, David Sachs, less of a brand name, but increasingly trying to be one in terms of his association with the Trump administration.
Musk, allegedly, and Larry Page, co-founder of Google, had a conversation yesterday.
that as at least Musk's telling goes, Musk was concerned that Larry wasn't taking this gen AI seriously enough in terms of its downside risks and decided to go off on his own, made the same contacts you made with Sam Altman and others, and went down this path of a 501c3 and tried to birth OpenAI.
Is that reasonably accurate?
That is reasonably accurate.
I think it was a conversation.
I think it was, you know, Larry was kind of saying, was, you know, it's probably too simplistic, but, you know, kind of articulating a transhumanist perspective to Elon that, you know, naturally freaks someone out because the rational response to that is,
that's a little strange.
And so it got very concerned about it.
Now, in Elon's case in particular, Elon has the definition of a messiah complex.
So it's like, no, no, I have to be the one building AI, not anyone else.
So there's a little bit of the, I'm worried about it generally, but it's also the, I'm worried it's you, not me.
I think that's sort of proven itself a little bit.
Yes.
This notion of going back, even when you said the glasses, which is interesting, it's technology.
You can see better.
You've been aiding and abetting, and as a human, that technology, it's not just ones and zeros.
Now they're becoming ones and zeros, as meta and others.
I think now Apple's coming out with their own version.
