The entire ai ecosystem, in some way or the other, touches these nine. In addition to all the things that i just mentioned they are building the framework and the custom silicone tips and they have the code bases. All roads lead to these Nine Companies in the challenge that i have is that if it is the case that Artificial Intelligence is not just being built to create a better microwave although that is cool that instead to optimize our lives using data as currency what does it mean when we relegate that to just a handful of companies and a handful of people working at these companies who probably dont look like us and dont have the same worldviews as us and what are the longerterm downstream invocations of that look like .
