Ben YaffeGUEST
And that's okay.
Ben YaffeGUEST
And that's something that especially in a company where we have an astonishing number of accomplished academics.
Ben YaffeGUEST
Those academics have been trained that you don't publish failures, that you don't get funding for that, that nobody cares.
Ben YaffeGUEST
You put that in a drawer.
Greg HillGUEST
We just don't want to do that.
Greg HillGUEST
So by being really close with the founders, the super founders like Brett Atcock at Figure and Jack Hittery and Eric Schmidt at Sandbox AQ, we really feel like we're as close as you can get to the AI industry.
Steve MooreHOST
And so how do people invest in with you at Parkway? How do they do that?
Greg HillGUEST
Yeah, I mean, we're not really, in venture capitalists, you don't really market.

It had to play out.
Greg HillGUEST
And I think the same thing with AI and what you're hearing in the news and there's going to be this bubble and all this.
Greg HillGUEST
The amount of value Anthropix bringing and other such companies, Sandbox AQ, obviously Figure.

I mean, it's like the greatest level of productivity the world's ever seen is what we're in the early innings with.

Um, we, we can't be pulling back the range yet because imagine if we would have done that with the internet in the early days, you know, it wouldn't have, you know, for, for, for the most part, the internet was kind of untouched for a long time.

Matt AldermanHOST
It was a really weird situation.
Matt AldermanHOST
But then Sandbox AQ just got a post-quantum cryptography.
Matt AldermanHOST
They raised a $500 million grant from the U.S. Department of Commerce under the Chips and Science Act to support AI-driven platform for discovering new semiconductor materials.
Matt AldermanHOST
So there's some stuff going on with the federal government, right? Remember, Sandbox AQ is a Google-funded company.
Matt AldermanHOST

Brian SullivanHOST
Will the foldable phone take market share from the iPad?
Kelly EvansHOST
And as we debate that, who's really in control, us or the AI? We will debate those risks, rewards, and the road ahead with Sandbox AQ CEO Jack Hydery right after the break.

Brian SullivanHOST
Jack's one of the smartest minds in the world, particularly around AI.
Matt AldermanHOST
It was a really weird situation.
Matt AldermanHOST
Um, but then SandboxAQ just got a post-quantum cryptography...
Matt AldermanHOST
Uh, they raised a $500 million grant from the US Department of Commerce under the CHIPS and Science Act to support AI-driven platform for discovering new semiconductor material.
Matt AldermanHOST
So there's some-
Summer FowlerHOST
Yeah
Matt AldermanHOST
... stuff going on with the f- with the federal government.
