And I'm... You know, I think we have a really high quality, you know, I mean, I I picked most of them. And you don't have to be bullish. You know, I want... You know, I love skeptics. I love bears. [00:26:23] S0: Yeah. [00:26:23] S2: You just you just have to be polite and nice and constructive. And you can be bearish while being polite, nice and constructive. And, you know, we're... We have loads of we have loads of skeptics. We have loads of optimists. Like, I think it's gonna be great. And then I I hope every CEO does, you know, you know, kind of a hit on your show after they're on stage or before. [00:26:43] S0: Yeah. [00:26:44] S1: I'm... Might TBPN be the episode ever. [00:26:48] S0: I think so.
00:26:48 · John Coogan, Jordi Hays, Gavin Baker
[00:26:48] S0: I think so. [00:26:48] S1: Let's see. Yeah. Do you deal with how how do you deal with all the all the attention? Positive and negative? [00:26:57] S0: That work? [00:26:57] S2: For me? [00:26:58] S1: Yeah. For you. For you. Oh, I know. I just feel like I... You I... You you talked about your your mindset right at the beginning of the show. Just, you know you know, it's a choice to be happy. But I feel like when it comes... When the the the spotlight, you know, once every week shines directly on you. There's a lot of love, a little bit of hate [00:27:19] S2: sprinkled There's... In [00:27:21] S1: The whole the full spectrum of human emotions.
00:27:23 · Gavin Baker
[00:27:23] S2: We we can call it what it is. I mean, there there there are a lot of there are a lot of detractors, let's say. I just say, look, Antonio, who I'm doing the conference with, he says being on x is an exercise in cultivated equanimity. I don't take any of it personally. I'm not on x to be right. Mhmm. I'm... Right now, I would, you know, I'm I'm a responsible optimist, but I'm trying to be open minded to new negative facts and constantly search them out. But I'm really on x, you know, to learn, and I... You know, all of the hate, like, I try to sift through it for, oh, wow. That is actually a very good compelling bearish argument. You know, like, there was an interesting post. I forget, it was like PE analyst or LBO analyst. And it just said, hey, you know, the fact that Anthropic is dedicating 74% of their compute to training, you could read it... On the one hand, it's bullish because they could be generating a lot more revenue. On the other hand, if all this compute is being dedicated towards training and for any reason, somebody decides you need less compute for training, that's a lot of supply that could hit the inference market. Hey. Wow. That's like a really interesting, you know, bearish perspective. And so, you know, I'm human. I don't... Like, I'm human, but it's also just like, I'm here to learn. I wanna get to the right answer. I'm sharing my views. If somebody shares a, you know, a helpful negative perspective, I try to thank them. I need to go, like, thank that that person. LBO analyst, I think it was. I didn't have time. But, yeah, it's it's an exercise of cultivate... Cultivated equanimity. You can't you can't can't take it personally. Yeah. But I do... I am trying, you know, doing what little I can, you know, has like Gavin Baker, you know, I don't have millions or tens of millions of followers, but I am trying to help paint, I think, more optimistic vision for AI, doing what I can to help the American public understand that, hey, like, you actually want a data center
00:29:39 · John Coogan, Gavin Baker
[00:29:39] S0: Yeah. [00:29:39] S2: In your in your town. You know? One of my favorite exchanges was somebody said, well, I'll wait until they start building data centers in the wealthiest county in America. Well, Loudoun County is the wealthiest county in America. They have the highest per capita data centers. [00:29:53] S0: Yep. Virginia. US East. [00:29:56] S2: Amazon. Yep. So just understanding that, like, I understand why, you know, some people are worried. There... There's been a lot of fear. There's... You know, that we've all seen scary movies. But a lot of awesome things are happening today Yeah. Because of AI for ordinary Americans, for blue collar Americans, for these small towns. We're re industrializing America. We're, you know, massively increasing our electrical generation capacity, which is you cannot re industrialize without power. That's job number one. So I think a lot of good things are happening, and I'm just trying to do what little I can to at least tell that side of the story, and then be pretty balanced. Like, you know, Anthropic, I called it like I saw it in the summer. They were losing market share. Mhmm. I'm calling it like I see it in October. They're reaccelerating Yeah. And gaining share. [00:30:50] S0: Yeah. [00:30:51] S2: The s one, it was an upside surprise to me. I'm trying to call balls and strikes Sure. Because my job is to just get it right.
