I met Greg Brockman, my co-founder of OpenAI, because I was a very early investor in Stripe. When I was like 22 or something... they said, you know, we're trying to close our first hire. Will you like drive down to Palo Alto tonight and have dinner with this guy to convince him he should like drop out of school and join Stripe? Which is Greg Brockman. And then like eight years later, we started a company together

Greg Brockman recently tweeted, the model is no longer the product. And it's funny because you know that as a leader of a frontier lab, he has all incentive to say the model is the product.

I'm very grateful that I got to work alongside Greg and Sam. I think we're prescient on this. And last year, we were definitely taking some arrows in the back about why are they out there buying all this compute? And I think, thank God we did.

We buy, rent, build, compute, and we resell it at a margin. That's it. As long as the margin is positive, then you want to scale it. Because the demand for solving problems, the demand for intelligence, that's unlimited.
