I think just making it a bit more salient in our minds,
what fraction of our giving is going towards that?
And do we endorse its size?
And is there any place where we should be going bigger?
And are we on track?
Is the percentage climbing the way we think it should be?
Does that seem in line with the way AI capabilities are climbing?
Are we on track to, if we think crunch time is gonna start in six years, are we on track to have inference compute be a large fraction of our spending at that time?
Oh, totally.
I mean, I think this is a very natural institutional.
I think even beyond just being scared of making a mistake on this front, it's just that organizations have particular ways they do things.
And there's processes.

And then that manager sort of convinces someone higher up that it's a good fit.
And you can have two layers or three layers or sometimes four layers of information cascading up
