Is there a tension internally after these and one year down of an amalgamation? Yeah. I mean, to be clear, it's Google. There's always intention internally. It's a big, massive company. I think we're doing what our story does. It can kind of unfolds here is that like part of it is geographical right. DeepMind has historically been London-based. The Google Google is out of its headquarters in Mountain View. You've had these sort of competing labs that in some ways operated very differently. DeepMind has for the past decade, basically an incredibly well-funded research operation and doing some cutting-edge A.I. is probably the world's most cutting-edge A.I.. It's not always connected to Google services. Google profits its commercial center. Now they're attempting to, I think, swing much more in a focus on products to be, you know, Gemini being the flagship one they're competing with OpenAI's model and there's a lot of

there's still a lot of bumps and warts in that merger, and there's always a conflict between how much to sort of doing these sort of core projects versus more exploratory research, talking of bumps and warts. Look, the commercialization hasn't gone that smoothly, and that is kind of the problem of being such a big company where they can't act like a startup all the time. Yeah, I think so. Although, you know, you'd think that clearly Google is under much more scrutiny around for that kind of mess up that they have. Right. The Gemini ones, which we've talked about. And I think that's totally understandable given just how big their services are. Right. Like how many people are using Google search on a daily basis and how much responsibility that has not just for their bottom line, but obviously like the regulatory scrutiny they're under.

And internally.
I think that those, you know, those screw-ups that they've had recently, I think
there's got to be some interesting tension about how what changes they make
when they when they launch. They clearly have been scrutinized and
criticized for a long time, particularly internally, for moving too slowly.
And I think Openai and Microsoft has really pushed Google to move pretty
fast. And you could say that some of these
pretty public snafus they've had with Gemini might be a consequence of that.
