That's the Web2 API in my, or AI in my perception.

So what do I mean by that?

Well, A, advertising, which they also just announced.

ChatGPT just announced this week that they're going to start advertising

inserting advertising.

Yeah, we're now on the last resort to pay for the dealership.

It's all happening.

So the web to business model, like basically everything that is wrong, well, no, like 80% of things that are wrong with the internet, I think are because advertising was the only working business model starting in, you know, the early 2000s.

So if that's, if we recapitulate that, if advertising is the only working business model for AI, then we'll probably have a similar bad outcome.

I don't know if it is.

I haven't paid attention.

We haven't solved the same incentive traps?

Let's see.

There's two things, I guess.

There's advertising, which I hate.

Advertising is the worst thing ever in like three different ways.

And it's the reason why everything, 80% of everything sucks.

And then the other one is lock-in, which is also core Silicon Valley Web 2 playbook that they've honed and learned over and over for 20 or 30 years.

which is get the 100 million users as fast as possible because the 100 millionth one can't leave the other 999 million, 999, 999 behind.

Right?
