A year ago, Peter, uh, at that family office conference in London, uh, Yifeng was saying to all these wealthy families, you gotta get invested in this. You gotta get in the game. And everybody was like, at $100 billion plus valuation, that's utterly insane. You can't possibly, it's way too late. You can't get into it. But, you know, I, I don't blame them because these numbers are so unprecedented and, and people don't really do a good job, job of judging million, billion, trillion. It does not, you know, it's not intuitive. These numbers are, are so far out of the realm of history. I mean, just massively bigger than any prior IPO or valuation. So I don't blame people for, for being scared, but you got to get used to the fact that this goes to infinity. The, the demand, the demand for AI is not going to saturate. It goes to infinity. So you got to rethink the way you decide whether to be involved in these things or not. So they all, they all skipped it. Now I'm sure they regret it.
