- ▶ 1:01:05 Chamath Palihapitiya And I think when you scale that out, like why is Colossus so valuable to Anthropic? 3 times in the scene
- ▶ 1:19:20 Chamath Palihapitiya That was my takeaway from the quarter as well, which is like, holy these guys actually have domain specific architectures because they're doing these design programs with every, this is why back to sort of the, you know, when he does DC to…
