I think most of the rate limiting and how quickly AI becomes a part of our daily life is actually not the technology. As I said earlier, I think we have very, very powerful LLMs that they can do a lot of great things. But the rate limiter is people, right? Because people have to use these things, have to trust these things, have to pay them, buy them, integrate them.

The honest question is because I couldn't get to the US. I mean, I didn't have an amazing CV before I started Synthesia. The US, basically, you need to get a sponsorship if you want to go to the US, right? I couldn't really get that. I wanted to start a company. I knew a few people there, so I just kind of moved on a whim, actually, and spent a year.

I still do think that the chance of success is higher if you're in the US on the West Coast. I think there's a lot of pros, especially like the last six, seven years, got a lot better to build here. But I do still think that there is a lot of advantages to being in the US. But I think Europe is catching up pretty quickly. What are the pros of being here?

One big one, which is talent, kind of goes both ways in some sense. But if you look at the ecosystem in the Valley, one thing is kind of like the price of talent, which is just abnormally high, right? But there's also things like loyalty, for example, that I think are less spoken about.

I think in the US, you have a lot of people who are very driven and they basically view their careers like building a portfolio of like stock options in different companies. And hopefully one of them will kind of explode and they'll be very rich, which is a rational way of thinking about it. And it makes a lot of sense, right?

But it also means that it's a more transactional relationship I think people have with their employer. People are much easier to jump ship, right? You have one or two bad quarters. You may lose a lot of good people because, hey, there's this other cool thing on the block over here that I'll go to and work at instead. In Europe, I think people, for better and for worse, right?
