It's a lot of just like, you know, what will bring me joy?

What will bring me fulfillment?

You know, what will bring, what will be, I do think a lot about what I can do that will be useful, but like, who do I want to spend my time with?

What do I want to spend my time doing?

Like a fish in water, just going along with the current.

Yeah.

That's certainly what it feels like.

I mean, I think that's what most people would say if they were really honest about it.

I don't think it's a small group of people.

I think this is the product of the culmination of whatever you want to call it, an amazing amount of human effort.

And if you think about everything that had to come together for this to happen,

when those people discovered the transistor in the 40s, like, is this what they were planning on?

All of the work, the hundreds of thousands, millions of people, whatever it's been, that it took to go from that one first transistor to packing the numbers we do into a chip and figuring out how to wire them all up together, and everything else that goes into this, you know, the energy required, the science, like, just every step, like, this is the output of, like, all of us

And I think that's pretty cool.

And all of that was on this one exponential curve.

We are going to try our hardest to get to a good place here.

I think the challenges are...

I understand that not everyone agrees with our approach of iterative deployment and also iterative discovery.

But it's what we believe in.

I think we're making good progress.
