So everybody needs to be looking at it to say, okay, what does this mean for my product service, my competitive landscape, the way that we operate as a company, how we do sales and marketing, how we do account management, how we do customer service, what other ways in which we operate, whether it's supply chain, finance, risk mitigation, et cetera.

What are all the ways that this can come in and give me a competitive differentiation for how the new world is going to look?

The trade wars will create a massive drop in prosperity in the US. There is next to zero chance that the missions that they have declared will be successful because the only way to get $2 trillion out of the budget would be to massively reduce the deficit and reduce defense spending. We're not reaching the upper end of LLM.

The next large LLM that's trained with a larger computer will still have new magic in it. The scale game is still playing.

Okay. So, look, obviously there's been a meme because as I was talking about with my friends, I am still extremely hopeful for American prosperity. I will remain living in Seattle, Washington as my residence. But when I was talking to friends, I said, look, I'd love to spend more time in the UK. That became a whole meme with the New York Times saying, he's moving.

And it's like, no, no, no, no, no. I'm still based in Seattle, Washington. But of course, I come to the UK twice a year already anyway.

By the way, I will commit here to being on air with you twice a year. Yeah.

So look, I think one of the things that it's a responsibility of Americans to do, including myself, of course, is you try to make whatever administration as successful as possible for the people of America, for the country, for the industry. I will be doing that. I will be investing in businesses. I will be getting new American businesses generated. I will be doing those things.

Obviously, in the next administration, they don't want to have me helping them. I won't be involved in any of the activity that the administration is doing. And actually, you know, obviously I anticipate, unfortunately, I'll probably be critical of some of the things the administration's doing.

I hope to help do as many of the things that are like reduce regulation, increase energy for AI, have AI companies be prosperous for America and around the world. I will be doing all that kind of stuff. But on the other hand, I suspect that I will have some things that I'm still an opponent of.

I do because of the principles of America, which is we should aspire to continue to be a place where we can speak truth to power, that we can criticize when things are wrong. And I will continue to do that.

Now, that being said, one of the things that I think is part of the reason why I have been critical of some of Trump's supporters and some of what Trump has done is because there is, even in the first administration, there was some abuses of instruments of state for personal gain, for personal power.

That is, I think, anti the spirit of anything in democracy, anti the spirit of anything in American. Those are the things that I would still continue to be opposed to in as much as they play out. Now, my friends argue, no, no, that's just the electoral path that when he talks about the fact that he is going to attack enemies within, or threaten to execute generals, or other kinds of things.

That's just politicking. That's not something that we will actually see. I am hopeful that they are right, and I am hopeful that we'll get back to the business of America, which is business.

If the administration were to engage in a lot of idiosyncratic political persecution, whether it's individuals, politicians, military figures, businesses that were attacked entirely for political reasons and the balance of politics versus legitimate reasons. Because sometimes people do bad things, whoever they are, and that's fine. But that that was the cause of what's happening.
