probably the best response and the most psychologically healthy response is some form of humility about it, which is there was a lot of luck and a lot of people helped me and I'm grateful and I should think about that and what I can do to help other people.

Yeah, I'm slightly off the deep end on AI.

It's pretty much all I work on now.

And I am definitely in the camp that if you stop the progress of AI today, which you won't, because in the history of the world, there's never been an investment at the scale

of capital investment in AI today.

So it's literally insane.

This year, there are four companies, so Meta, Microsoft, Alphabet slash Google and Amazon, who are projected to spend north of $300 billion on infrastructure buys, not 100% for AI, but largely for AI.

That's in 2025.

Like that doesn't count what was spent in 2024 and it doesn't count what will be spent in 2026.

And it's an extremely incomplete list of spending.

Right.

But, you know, there are so many different ways where it then interfaces with the status system.

I'll give you an example.

I'm too lazy to shave, so I buy this beard clipper thing where you just kind of go like... So I had one and it was starting to maul me.

So it's time for something new.

You should not cut up your face every time you shave.

How do you make that choice?

How are you going to buy a beard clipper?

What are you going to do?

I love these.
