Go ahead. Yeah. I think, by the way, part of the criticism I used to get last year and the year before when I was saying, hey, look, we are game on with China, was like, oh, you're just trying to get the excuse that we shouldn't be interfering with you and slowing you down and so forth. It's like, no, no, I see the competition coming.

One of, I think, the huge virtues of DeepSeek is like, yes, there it is. Right? That is serious and real competition. And I think that's the world we're in.

I think yes. And actually, in fact, when we kind of talk about what is our agenda in the future, most people tend to think, you know, there's going to be like, you know, be Lord of the Rings. There's one agent to rule them all. And actually, in fact, I think there's going to be, you know, in a sense, more agents than people because every person is going to have multiple agents.

Now, there may be a limited number of code bases, call it. you know, a thousand, you know, kind of powering all the kind of different agents could be 10,000. But I think we're going to actually live in a, in a very rich agent environment. And that's going to have a, it's not just going to be the kind of the Walmart or Tiffany's.

I think it's going to be, you know, this agent's actually particularly good at travel. This agent's particularly good at, you know, kind of interpersonal discussion. This agent's particularly good for, you know, people like Scott and, and, and this other agent's particularly good for people like Kara. Right.

Exactly. No, no. But the point is like, you know, this one will be sardonic and a little sarcastic. And Scott's like, yeah, that's that's my agent. And this agent can be fiery and say, no, we got to hold you to a higher standard. And that'll be the care agent. And then, you know, then you'll have the nuanced agent of of the one for read saying, well, on one hand and on the other hand.

Yes. Well, super agency is what happens, and we've seen this from everything from the fire and agriculture to the printing press to the car and electricity, is what happens when millions of people all get access to the superpowers of increasing their agency at the same time and we collectively, you know, get super agency.

Like, for example, when I get a car, I don't just get a place to be able to, you know, get a broader geographic mobility. My friends can come visit me. A doctor can come do a home visit.
