I'll tell you what I hope. Everyone gives their analogy for what technological revolution this is most like. It's the industrial revolution. It's like electricity. It's like the web. The thing I hope for is that it's like the transistor. We discovered a new important fundamental physical law, whatever you want to call it. We did a bunch of research. So did others.

And it will seep into all aspects of the economy, products, everything. And You and I today are using many devices with transistors in them to make this podcast possible. Your computer has some. Your microphone has some. All of the internet equipment between you and me has a lot. But we don't sit here and think about transistors.

And the transistor company does not sit here and make all of the money. It is this new incredible scientific discovery that seeped into everything we do. And everybody made a lot of money. That's what I hope AI will be like, and I think there's many reasons why it's the best analogy.

Well, so we haven't formed a new entity yet. We have obviously considered forming a new entity or maybe converting our existing LLC into one that's more accurate. I have a tiny sliver of equity from an old YC fund. I used to have some via Sequoia Fund, but that one turned out to be easier to sell and not keep the position in. So I have a very small amount that's quite insignificant to me.

For sure. But as I've said many times before, if I could go back in time, I would have taken equity. I I think, again, I understand more about why my earlier misgivings were misplaced. I also get that it's weird for me to take it now after not earlier. On the other hand, I would love to never have to answer this question again and be like, we're a normal company. I run it. I've got some equity.

Investors don't have to worry that I'm misaligned. The whole air of suspicion of not having any is one of the decisions I regret the most of open AI structure things. But I understand why people are fixated on it. That makes sense.
