00:00:00
We see this capital being applied to
00:00:03
human capital in a way that we never
00:00:04
thought was possible. It used to be NBA
00:00:06
players signing $300 million contracts.
00:00:08
Now it's model researchers. And then
00:00:10
there was a post this weekend that said
00:00:12
that there was a person that was offered
00:00:13
a billion dollars over four years by
00:00:15
Meta. Now, if that's happening at this
00:00:17
layer, why hasn't it happened at your
00:00:18
layer? Because you are the enabler of
00:00:20
all of that. And how do you think all of
00:00:21
this human capital is going to actually
00:00:23
play out?
00:00:23
First of all, I've created more
00:00:25
billionaires on my management team than
00:00:27
any CEO in the world. They're doing just
00:00:29
fine.
00:00:31
Don't feel sad for anybody at my layer.
00:00:34
Yeah, everybody's doing okay.
00:00:36
Yeah, my layer is doing just fine. The
00:00:37
big idea though is that you're
00:00:39
highlighting is that the impact of 150
00:00:42
or so AI researchers can probably create
00:00:45
with enough funding behind them create
00:00:48
an open AI
00:00:49
150 people.
00:00:50
Yeah, Deep Seek's 150 people, Moonshots
00:00:53
150 people, right? If you're willing to
00:00:54
pay say $20 billion, $30 billion to buy
00:00:58
a startup with 150 AI researchers, why
00:01:01
wouldn't you pay one,
