And I'm curious what really all three of you think about that and that tension that I'm kind of hearing and what both Joe and Max are talking about in terms of their workplaces.

So it's interesting, especially when it comes to the AI race, that drives so much of this conversation.

And a lot of it comes down to is it going to be America that wins the AI race or is it going to be China that wins? And the thing that I always want to draw people back when they think about in those terms is what does it mean when America wins? Because a lot of times when we talk about that national identity, it's not Americans that necessarily win, it's American corporations that win.

And so I want to cleave that out and say that it's not really about which nation state wins this AI race, but when generalized AI becomes a thing or the singularity becomes a thing, who is setting that policy as to who actually benefits from that? And so who's driving what...

the social economic impacts of AI is going to be.

And in the current American culture and state, you know, capitalist state, it's always the drive is to how do we make it as profitable as possible for shareholders? Instead of, and I want to kind of sidebar this to kind of my experience over the last few years.

I remember when AI was first coming on the scene, the conversations at work and the town halls were always about, oh, we're going to cure so many diseases.

And what are the things that you're discovering and learning through that process that might be interesting to, especially our listeners who might not be industry folks, but might have concerns about a semiconductor factory coming to their town?
