Q And, um, Kyle, what, what about like other tokens when you think about other compute tasks, like work to be done, for example, there's a bunch of tokens that have emerged in distributed training. How did you hone in on this and exclude the others? I mean, I mean, prefer this over that.
A I mean, I met the GeoNet founder years ago. He pitched to us and I've gotten to know him and followed it. The distributed training stuff, there's a whole bunch of people trying it. I, I, I'm pretty skeptical. I don't think any of it's going to work. Um, the distributed inference stuff is, is possible, although it has not worked as well as we would have hoped. I did put some money behind that a few years ago. It's, it's working, but not, not A+. Um, one last thing actually, David, on, on your prior question, I want to highlight is also energy use. Going to space just consumes way more energy than going to a base station that's, you know, on the ground. Um, and so yeah, for a tractor, maybe that doesn't matter, but for a drone or for any other battery sensitive application, Ground is always going to be, uh, the preferred solution.
