I was using ChatGPT, and then Sam Altman did something shitty.

When he swooped in, he was like, I'll take your Pentagon contract to build the autonomous killer robots.

I was like, I'm out.

Then you went to Claude.

See you, buddy.

Yeah, who's just, I don't know, secretly building the autonomous killer robots.

Who knows?

So you raised a bunch of money from folks in the tech world, CEOs at Google, Dropbox, Snapchat, Twitch, I think some prominent venture capitalists.

What's your response to people who worry, look, when you take all that money,

One donor name that surprised me was a guy named Joe Lonsdale.

He's a co-founder of Palantir.

Big Republican mega donor.

He's like a big Elon stan.

He gave a million to Elon's pro-Trump super PAC.

Maxed out to you?

What's up with that guy?

He seems a little crazy.

He's not like someone you knew back in the day when he was at Palantir or something?

Look, he's just an aggressive tweeter.
