Source→“I've just funded a new memory company as well. That's still in stealth”
Source→“obviously, you know, we have a company, D-Matrix, that's doing this, but I think others will be... whether it's Cerebras and their techniques”

Source→“Well, maybe speculate and verify if we listen to OpenAI here”
Source→“The agents will do all the upgrades. So, that's no longer a problem... Everything gets easy”

Source→“Nobody's going to build and buy GPUs and build data centers if they don't have energy. So essentially you have an upper bound on how aggressive and how hyped and bubbled we get.”
