But it's fine.

It makes sense.

It's a business move.

It makes sense.

But it's a funny thing where we're more a part of it than I might have thought.

I thought it would be like we're going to get overwhelmed with a bunch of crockpot papers by physics enthusiasts.

And it's

Less that and more this funny thing where it says we're all in the labs for a little bit or not, but how do we really do this right?

Instead of it being like, okay, so say one company wants to show that they're doing some research, they can work with a few top researchers and then the top researchers can say it's interesting.

But we want to do cooler shit than we could have done before.

And how do you...

I think that it's funny, it's like, you think it wouldn't be that hard to try to just get all bunch of string theorists to like, let's do what they do for math, write down a bunch of like well enough defined questions and dare someone to like try to automate it.

And even we could do, we could have more fun.

We could say like, okay, Sam Altman, you're saying ChatGPT-8 is going to solve quantum gravity.

Let's put some parameters on that and make a bet.

And if you like do it by that timeframe, whoever did it gets that prize pool.

If not, give that money to fund the researchers.

I don't know.

Like it'd be like, I think there's a fun way to do like XPRIZE with these deadlines because

The thing that scares me the most is there's a lot of confidence.
