Let me be provocative here. If these guys end the year over a hundred billion, I think that they're on a
00:00:05
revenue trajectory that they could three to five X again next year. We've never seen anything like this. Never.
00:00:12
>> a hundred to three hundred, a hundred to four hundred. >> and Jason, like you and I have talked about this.
00:00:18
Our minds were blown if a company could go from 100 million to 300 million. We're talking from a
00:00:25
hundred billion to 300 billion. 200 billion of incremental revenue is incomprehensible in the history of
00:00:33
Silicon Valley, okay? And just the fact that we're even in that >> the world. >> Yeah, in the history of the world. The
00:00:39
fact that we're even talking anywhere close to this tells us something different is going on here. I think the
00:00:45
thing that's different is that intelligence is the largest TAM we've ever seen in the history of the world.
00:00:53
These guys are penetrating it. So, yes, the super sophisticated companies that 80 90 and Chamath are helping optimize
00:01:00
their token spend that are early adopters. 100% that's occurring, but it's not really changing the trajectory
00:01:07
that the frontier labs are on.
