Yes. And now David knows crypto very well. So he's the AI and crypto czar and the PCaaS person. He knows crypto very well. He hasn't yet done anything in AI. He hasn't been mentioned as an investor or a – like when I talk to all the AI entrepreneurs as a desired person for them to work with and so forth. So he's very smart, so I presume he knows something.

But AI, I think yet TBD, what he knows and what he tweets about is anti-woke AI is the most important thing. You're like that is not – that is not even in the top 100 of the issues around how to promote and build and navigate AI. Yeah. But he's very good at crypto. He's done a bunch of good stuff there. And Elon obviously understands AI quite well.

So I gave a couple of days ago here in London the Sir Isaiah Berlin speech, and one of the lines that I used in the speech was, There's competing freedoms. You could say there's the freedom of speech to say whatever I want to say. And then there's a freedom to try to offer something in civil discourse where I'm not going to get harassed by a whole bunch of antagonists.

And obviously, they're both good virtues. And what you want is the right blend right from them. I think that a lot of folks, like, for example, what's happening on Twitter and X, right, is just virulent, right? It's just toxic. It's terrible. Like, when I tweet anything – Including, hey, you know, I think the following thing is great entrepreneurship.

I get a, oh, you evil liberal, you know, I hope you, you know, kind of fail terribly and, you know, blah, blah, blah, blah. Okay. I was tweeting about this great entrepreneurship thing. Right. And that's the kind of theme there. in, you know, twitterx.com. I prefer what you kind of thing that you see on LinkedIn.

It's like, look, you can say critical things, but you try to say critical things within the theme of, oh, well, that entrepreneurial thing, I actually don't think it's going to be as good as you think. And this is why.

Well, Twitter is anonymous. It allows a lot of bots. It encourages, like it says, freedom of speech. Like if you're tweeting a rape threat, that's fine. It's freedom of speech. You're allowed to do whatever you want. Right. LinkedIn is you're tied to a named profile that's tied to your identity.

If you reported for saying something that's frankly uncivil, doesn't even have to be as bad as a rape threat. It's just uncivil. Like you're cautioned. Right. It's removed. And you're saying, hey, by the way, that's not fair for the platform. And if you keep doing that, we'll remove your ability to post. Right. Right.

Look, I think there are... It's important to allow – one of the things I think that online platforms give us is the difference between freedom of speech and freedom of reach. Like I think it's OK for people to say such thing as vaccines are evil plots to put chips in people and they give us autism. It's 100% wrong, right? And every credible medical authority goes, vaccines are good.
