Do you think this is a this is a tricky one, but you guys don't much like each other and you don't much trust each other.

You're insulting each other on on social media constantly.

So do you do you think you can do that with people that you dislike that but where there seems to be such kind of personal vitriol between some of these leaders?

Well that's that's a very good thing for the rest of us to hear.

Can we turn to one other risk that people worry about, particularly I think, ordinary Americans, where you know AI has become incredibly unpopular.

Seventy-five percent of people are worried about it.

And I think they worry about their jobs.

And if you look at I mean Dario has said famously what fifty percent of entry-level jobs, entry-level white-collar jobs will be gone within a few years.

You're building humanoid

So I I certainly don't want you to alarm people, but I do think there is a really important debate about how quickly and to what degree AIs displace people from jobs.

Because it is, as you say, if we're in ten years it's more it's there's more intelligence, artificial intelligence than any human intelligence.

So do you are you part do you are you closer to Dario, let's say, in your sense of the pace at which jobs are going to be displaced?

And beyond software?

Everything

Everything but what about w you for for physical jobs, for assembly jobs, you will also need the capability in humanoid robots, which so far isn't

There yet, is it?

I get that.

I mean in that world I would be hopeless 'cause I can't go out and save my life.
