Enough with Sam Altman going to these Senate hearings and saying, I don't have any financial stake in OpenAI. I don't care about making money. Like, everyone cares about making fucking money here. And that's okay. It's not a bad thing. But we don't need to just pretend that it's like some sort of charity. It's not. It's a company.

And to clarify, Elon Musk filed a lawsuit against OpenAI saying, you're not allowed to become a for-profit company, you were established as a non-profit.

Let's talk about Warren Buffett, who is retiring as the CEO of Berkshire Hathaway. Yeah. A pretty big moment in the business news world, Scott. I think you made this point when we were talking that CNBC is going to have like a seven-day wake for the guy. He's not dead, but he's retired.

Because I think that what that tells you is that there was something about this guy, this seemingly regular dude who lived in Omaha, Nebraska, whose favorite food is a quarter pounder with cheese from McDonald's. Something about him just captured people's imaginations. And I don't think it's just that he was rich.
