It'll be a couple years before we see it transforming the world, but it's an exciting kind of thing, yeah.

Anyway, congrats to the teams. Congrats to Demison Jumper. Yeah. I mean, it's just great. And David Baker at the Baker Lab in University of Washington.

I think we've talked about this. I mean, look, I've shared in the past, my belief that companies that are big, that have excess capital, that then invest that excess capital in R&D can be a net benefit for all of us. Look at Bell Labs. Bell Labs had a monopoly on

and invested for many, many years in DeepMind. And we just talked about how Demis and team won the Nobel Prize for the work that they did. And they, by the way, published the protein structure for 200 million proteins for free out of that service. I just want to zoom out for a minute and talk about the fact that this isn't about

you know, whether Google has a monopoly in search that prohibits competition or in ads that prohibits competition, but is it really worth penalizing any company that's big? Particularly, do we lose the benefit of those big companies investing in technology that pushes us forward? Google also invested in Waymo for years and years and years.

which arguably spurned and drove investment from many other companies in self-driving technology. And if Google hadn't done that, would self-driving have taken off the way it did? I don't know. Same with Kitty Hawk and Larry's investment in eVTOLs, and that spawned a lot of eVTOL investing.

And similarly, if you think about Amazon and their investment in AWS, where they were burning cash for many years, That turned out to spawn arguably a lot of interest and investment in cloud. And so I don't think that these big companies are bad just because they're big. I think we should take apart the monopolistic antitrust actions and behaviors that they take and then identify ways to remedy

those behaviors, versus just saying anyone or anything that's big should be taken apart. Because there is a tremendous benefit to be gained from the R&D dollars that they all put into things that, you know, move the whole industry forward. And I think that leadership is important and needed.

Otherwise, if you got a bunch of startups that are trying to get $10 million checks from VC is I'm not sure they're going to build a Waymo. And I'm not sure they're going to build Amazon cloud. And I'm not sure they're going to build a deep mind you know, protein folding company and publish it for free. So I don't know, that's just my point of view. What's the likely?
