I think we are in a bubble. I am inherently skeptical of companies doing pre-training. Unless you are an AGI research lab, doing pre-training on a model, I believe, is just burning capital. Software is like a lawn. It needs to be tended to. It's not like you write software once and it just works forever.

I think almost every company that has chosen to build their own in an area of their business where there is a software as a solution service available has regretted it.

Thanks for having me.

I don't think so. When I was young, first I wanted to be Indiana Jones, which I know is not a job, but to me, he was by far the coolest example of an adult that I'd ever seen. By the time that I was in school and started thinking about a job, I thought I wanted to be an attorney in high school. I'm happy to tell the story.

It's actually kind of an interesting story, but I ended up getting a job at a gas station and then hustling my way into making a website for a mechanic that was nearby and I was getting paid $4.25 at the gas station an hour, which was minimum wage at the time, and ended up getting paid $400 for the website.

So I quit the gas station job the next day and ended up making websites for a lot of local businesses in my hometown. most of those websites endured for decades, you know, because it turns out if you're a florist, it's not like you're actively SEOing your website. So, you know, my fingerprints on the internet in 1996 and 97 lasted for longer than you'd expect.

And even when I went to Stanford, I think if you'd met me that summer before, I probably would have said I probably want to be a lawyer. But then the combination of my accidental entrepreneurial experience, plus going to Stanford and the dot-com bubble, First quarter at Stanford, I took a class called CS106A, which is sort of the intro class and the rest is history.
