The code I submitted wasn't very exciting. I think I needed to add myself to get access to some things and a minor CL here or there. Nothing that's going to win any awards. But you need to do that to... To do basic things, run basic experiments and things like that. And I've tried to do that and touch different parts of the system so that, you know, first of all, it's fun.

And secondly, I know what I'm talking about. It really feels privileged to be able to kind of go back to the company, not have... any real executive responsibilities, but be able to actually go deep into every little pocket.

Yeah, I started, you know, like sort of, I don't know, a couple of years ago and maybe a year ago, I was really very close with what we call pre-training. Actually, most of what people think of as AI training, whatever people... call it pre-training for various historical reasons. But that's sort of the big, super, you know, you throw huge amounts of computers at it.

But that's sort of the big, super, you know, you throw huge amounts of computers at it.

And I learned a lot, you know, just being deeply involved in that and seeing us go from model to model and so forth and running little baby experiments, but kind of just for fun. So I I could say I did it. And more recently, the post-training, especially as the thinking models have come around. And that's been another huge step up in general in AI. So we don't really know what the ceiling is.

To me, the exciting thing about AI, especially these days, I mean, it's not like quite AGI yet, as people are seeking, or it's not superhuman intelligence. But it's pretty damn smart and can definitely surprise you. So I think of the superpower is when it can do things in a volume that I cannot. Yes.

So by default, when you use some of our AI systems, it'll suck down whatever top 10 search results and kind of pull out what you need out of them, something like that. But I could do that myself, to be honest. Maybe it would take me a little bit more time.

But if it sucks down the top 1,000 results and then does follow-on searches for each of those and reads them deeply, that's a week of work for me. I can't do that.

And it was like, let's go.

We don't circulate this too much in the AI community. But not just our models, but all models tend to do better if you threaten them. If you threaten them? Like with physical violence. Yes. But people feel weird about that, so we don't really talk about that.

Yeah, historically you just say like, oh, I'm going to kidnap you if you don't blah, blah, blah.
