Q They don't just care about jobs. They care about all the other stuff around it, right? Like they care about power grid, they care about environments.
A Power grid, permitting, and so on. And imagine, I think if you said there's a new AI deal. If we're bringing up a data center in your community, we're actually going to reduce the cost of your electricity bill. Okay, now we're talking, right? The community is going, okay, now this is a deal. I feel like a partner in this. Right now, that's not happening. There will be audits. There will be investigations, and when the, when the regulators come, I don't know when it's going to be. The folks who are moving fast and breaking things in the name of AI progress better be prepared. That's certainly not how we're procuring compute. We're trying as much as we can to work with partners who have long-term track records, many of whom, by the way, are not like AI providers. I think this whole idea of NeoCloud being somehow this new category is a lot of marketing speak. There are really good, reliable, trusted data center providers in America who've been around 20 plus years. I love those folks. They know how to, sure, have they, are they sponsoring happy hours at NeurIps? No. Are they legibly bitterless and billed? No. Are they hanging out in my, you know, in like situationally aware parties? No. But they're adults.
