Thousands or hundreds of thousands of people in the world that are capable of doing this kind of work.
Your company reportedly now worth up to $500 billion. Is that accurate in terms of?
I think I'm not supposed to like, comment on currently in flight stuff?
Well, let me ask you this. There is an effort by Robinhood and by the way others to try to sell your shares in a secondary market. Sometimes people are tokenizing these these special purpose vehicles and other things like that. What do you make of what's happening? And do you do you think or want the public to be able to access these shares like that? Versus, by the way, there are some people who are buying into Microsoft now and buying into SoftBank, thinking that's like a public way back door into buying shares in your company.
Look, I totally get why people wish we were just a public company now. And I have very conflicted, not conflicted. I have like negative feelings about how much growth happens in private markets and how, you know, not every investor gets access to this phase of growth. Whenever we do go public, if we ever go public, I think there will be tremendous upside left in front of the company. But I get I get why people would like love for us to be public or sooner. And I'm sure people also get the reality of like, we're in still a crazy position and it would be very hard for us to be public, given just all of the realities of that. But but I hate that people get pushed to like, various degrees of sketchy ways to try to get exposure to.
The company is still losing money. And obviously you're building, building, building Stargate among them. What is the path to profitability? When do you see the lines cross, if you will?
I mean, I think it could happen sooner than I originally thought, if we wanted it to, but it seems to me like the right thing to do is to just keep investing in compute and continuing to grow.
But is that?
To continue to grow our training compute budget?
Is that?
A couple years from now then you think or I mean, you're saying if you stopped investing?
No, I think I think well.
I think we should be willing to keep growing, to keep investing in training compute for a long time, like as long as we're on this very steep curve of the models getting better and better, I think the rational thing to do is to just be willing to run at a loss for quite a while.
