Exactly, and we have seen this time and time again. I mean, this is really fundamental to the DNA of OpenAI. When they released ChatGPT, other companies had developed large language models that were just as good, but Sam got spooked that his rival, Anthropic, which had an LLM named Claude, was going to release their product first and might steal all of their thunder.

And so they released ChatGPT to get out in front of Claude. And that was essentially the starting gun that launched the entire AI race. And so I think it is fundamental to how Sam sees the world that all of this stuff is inevitable. And if it's going to happen anyway, all other things being equal, you would rather be the person who did it, right?

Do you want to tell that story? Yeah. For a while, OpenAI had been working on a voice mode for ChatGPT. Instead of just typing in a box, you could tap a button on your phone and interact with the model using a voice. And a movie that has long inspired people in Silicon Valley is the Spike Jonze film, Her.

And in that film, Joaquin Phoenix, who plays the protagonist of that film, talks constantly to an AI companion who is voiced by Scarlett Johansson.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Well, look, you could take different lessons from her. You know, I think a bad lesson to take would be human companionship is worthless at the moment that we invent AI superintelligence because we can just talk to superintelligence all day long and turn our backs on humanity. That would be a bad lesson to learn.
