Yeah, I mean, for you to know, I'll tell you, we take things for granted in the US to a certain extent.

Let's assume you're a startup here and you want to access compute.

It's as simple as obviously going to a hyperscaler and within 30 seconds you're ready to go.

So this story is fascinating because my first discovery, let's say, in the role I was in at the time, I was hired to really run a subsidiary of Aramco, a new company that was intended to diversify out of its core business in which digital and AI was a really core component of it.

One of the biggest surprises I had is lack of AI infrastructure.

I mean, I did not know that the ability for startups, companies to access AI infrastructure is a challenge.

I mean, it took, look how large Aramco is, took them nine months from the process of

purchase order, export control process, deployment, installation.

That means we have hindered a company to really achieve its objectives by nine months.

So that was the first opportunity that I saw that we need to address in the country.

I tell you this story because this is how the Humane story started.

So I started meeting with several ministers in the country.

I told them I see nothing but opportunity.

I see something that the country could really do and participate at a global space.

I think we have an abundance of land, an abundance of power, amazing connectivity, and an opportunity to really participate in the digital infrastructure.

So last year, during my birthday, I get a call and it was like really a strange number.

So I answered it says it was from the royal court and it said His Royal Highness wants to meet with you.

I said, OK, what did I do?

It was.

So anyway, we all came in.
