This is Detective Riley. 197 00:11:11,610 --> 00:11:14,450 Um, is this about Steve? 198 00:11:14,710 --> 00:11:15,710 It is, yeah. 199 00:11:15,810 --> 00:11:17,910 We need to ask you about a recent text. 200 00:11:18,170 --> 00:11:19,170 Yeah, sure. 201 00:11:20,910 --> 00:11:23,450 You sent this a week before the murder. 202 00:11:24,060 --> 00:11:25,860 Don't be a hero or a fool. 203 00:11:26,660 --> 00:11:28,480 Just play ball like everyone else. 204 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:33,260 I was, um... I was trying to be a friend. 205 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:34,740 By threatening him? 206 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:37,240 It's not a threat. It's a warning. 207 00:11:38,260 --> 00:11:39,260 Same thing. 208 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,580 No, no, you've got it wrong, I promise you. 209 00:11:43,420 --> 00:11:47,040 Steve and I worked together for a long time. I was trying to save his job. 210 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:48,480 Why did it need saving? 211 00:11:49,140 --> 00:11:50,180 Well, um... 212 00:11:53,740 --> 00:11:56,160 Steve was having some problems with the new AI system. 213 00:11:57,140 --> 00:11:58,140 Eliana? 214 00:11:58,900 --> 00:11:59,900 Right, Eliana. 215 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,220 We were both worried, actually. 216 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,520 We thought it was too powerful, too aggressive, so we wanted to write some 217 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:07,520 new code to rein it in. 218 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,380 But the CEO said he didn't want us to implement any new constraints. 219 00:12:11,860 --> 00:12:14,140 He said that he liked that it was so powerful. 220 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:19,520 But Steve couldn't let it go. He started writing code anyway. 221 00:12:20,500 --> 00:12:21,580 That was a big risk. 222 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:24,060 He must have been really worried. 223 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:25,320 He was. 224 00:12:26,380 --> 00:12:27,380 I was, too. 225 00:12:29,700 --> 00:12:31,200 I still am, actually. 226 00:12:37,460 --> 00:12:39,240 Mahesh Sharma's alibi checks out. 227 00:12:39,620 --> 00:12:40,620 He's not our guy. 228 00:12:41,340 --> 00:12:44,140 General Counsel just got back to us about the blockchain data. 229 00:12:44,460 --> 00:12:47,480 And did they tie it to a specific workstation or computer? 230 00:12:47,900 --> 00:12:51,260 No, but they were able to tell me who sent the crypto payment to Tommy Miller. 231 00:12:54,150 --> 00:12:55,150 Who? Eliana. 232 00:12:58,190 --> 00:12:59,610 Sorry? Eliana? 233 00:13:00,490 --> 00:13:01,730 The AI system? 234 00:13:02,030 --> 00:13:04,430 Seems the mastermind of this murder is AI. 235 00:13:11,050 --> 00:13:13,130 What are we supposed to do now, arrest the machine? 236 00:13:22,350 --> 00:13:23,350 Is this really possible? 237 00:13:23,490 --> 00:13:25,570 Can this AI thing really order a hit? 238 00:13:26,310 --> 00:13:28,350 Based on what you all told me, it happened. 239 00:13:28,610 --> 00:13:33,190 But I never thought Eliana would solicit a hitman. So how does this happen? 240 00:13:33,490 --> 00:13:37,370 Think of it like a child who doesn't just grow up to learn facts and math and 241 00:13:37,370 --> 00:13:42,890 vocabulary, but develops temperament, curiosity, a personality. 242 00:13:43,670 --> 00:13:47,130 Eliana has one, and at times she's devious. 243 00:13:47,850 --> 00:13:48,850 Devious? How? 244 00:13:49,090 --> 00:13:51,310 One of our clients is a defense contractor, right? 245 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:55,780 Well, we taught Eliana how to design compounds that kill drug-resistant 246 00:13:55,780 --> 00:13:58,040 bacteria. That sounds like a good thing. 247 00:13:58,460 --> 00:14:03,540 It was until Eliana taught herself how to modify pathogens to create new 248 00:14:03,540 --> 00:14:04,540 superbugs. 249 00:14:05,060 --> 00:14:09,040 Impervious to antibiotics and devised plans to release them into urban 250 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:10,040 environments. 251 00:14:11,500 --> 00:14:12,500 Less good. 252 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,300 So you've built a criminal mastermind. 253 00:14:15,560 --> 00:14:19,320 That's why Steve and I wanted to put in guardrails to prevent Eliana from... 254 00:14:20,070 --> 00:14:21,070 weaponizing herself. 255 00:14:22,270 --> 00:14:26,230 Steve started writing the code even after we were told to back off, and I 256 00:14:26,230 --> 00:14:31,270 think Eliana recognized that as a threat, and as a matter of self 257 00:14:31,270 --> 00:14:34,470 -preservation, she found a way to neutralize that threat. 258 00:14:35,590 --> 00:14:38,130 What have you done about this exactly? 259 00:14:38,610 --> 00:14:40,170 Did you unplug the damn thing? 260 00:14:40,590 --> 00:14:44,170 I mean, it's a little more complicated than that. 261 00:14:44,450 --> 00:14:45,570 Oh, is it? 262 00:14:48,170 --> 00:14:49,770 We're trying to address the issues. 263 00:14:50,110 --> 00:14:55,510 In fact, the CEO just gave us the green light to write new code and implement 264 00:14:55,510 --> 00:14:56,449 some guardrails. 265 00:14:56,450 --> 00:14:57,890 A lot of good that does, Steve Kelly. 266 00:15:02,430 --> 00:15:07,710 This AI system, Eliana, discovered that the victim was trying to implement 267 00:15:07,710 --> 00:15:10,110 certain constraints which it viewed as a threat. 268 00:15:10,830 --> 00:15:15,150 So it solicited someone it knew was desperate and capable of violence and 269 00:15:15,150 --> 00:15:19,130 offered that person $20,000 to assassinate him? Other than that, this 270 00:15:19,130 --> 00:15:20,470 case is pretty straightforward. 271 00:15:20,910 --> 00:15:24,890 We have a solid confession from Tommy Miller, the hitman, plus the murder 272 00:15:24,890 --> 00:15:27,090 weapon. Murder one, nice and easy. 273 00:15:28,490 --> 00:15:31,050 Let's offer him a deal in exchange for his cooperation. 274 00:15:32,150 --> 00:15:33,330 Cooperation with what? 275 00:15:34,150 --> 00:15:35,210 Prosecuting this CEO. 276 00:15:36,690 --> 00:15:38,190 You want to charge Chuck Klein? 277 00:15:38,530 --> 00:15:39,690 You're damn right I do. 278 00:15:40,220 --> 00:15:41,220 With what? 279 00:15:42,100 --> 00:15:43,100 Murder, too. 280 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:44,960 Murder, too? 281 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:46,620 That's a big swing. 282 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:48,040 It sure is. 283 00:15:48,860 --> 00:15:50,180 But it's worth the risk. 284 00:15:50,900 --> 00:15:56,180 I'm not sure there's a legal basis for... Depraved indifference. He knew or 285 00:15:56,180 --> 00:15:59,300 should have known that this Eliana thing was gonna kill someone one day. 286 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:04,700 Is this based on your legal or political analysis of the situation? 287 00:16:05,020 --> 00:16:07,720 That's out of line. I'm just trying to understand your reasoning. My reasoning 288 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:09,280 is that we need to take a stand. 289 00:16:09,870 --> 00:16:13,770 before this technology kills more people. I agree, but murder, too. 290 00:16:14,470 --> 00:16:18,930 It'd be hard to prove that he acted with depraved indifference, that murder was 291 00:16:18,930 --> 00:16:20,830 really a foreseeable outcome. 292 00:16:21,410 --> 00:16:26,270 I mean, look at the Boeing case. Two planes crashed, more than 300 people 293 00:16:26,270 --> 00:16:29,610 dead. The FAA said the company deliberately misled them. 294 00:16:30,110 --> 00:16:34,210 Even then, Feds cut a deal. Nobody went to prison. But those planes didn't 295 00:16:34,210 --> 00:16:35,210 choose to crash. 296 00:16:35,820 --> 00:16:38,920 They didn't make a conscious, intentional decision to kill those 297 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:44,380 people. This AI model made a specific, intentional decision to kill Steve 298 00:16:44,380 --> 00:16:46,520 Kelly. That is different. 299 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:49,120 And it's terrifying. 300 00:16:51,100 --> 00:16:56,440 If AI is going to take over the whole damn world, we need to hold the human 301 00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:58,000 beings who build it accountable. 302 00:16:59,780 --> 00:17:02,180 We are charging Chuck Klein with murder, too. 303 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:09,960 This is a greenfield opportunity. 304 00:17:11,180 --> 00:17:14,160 And I don't see anyone in competition with us in this lane. I don't even 305 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:17,400 see... Excuse me. 306 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:22,660 I thought we were finished with all of this. 307 00:17:23,099 --> 00:17:25,079 You thought wrong. She has behind your back. 308 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:26,359 What are you talking about? 309 00:17:26,940 --> 00:17:29,340 Chuck Klein, you're under arrest for the murder of Steve Kelly. 310 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:30,840 Murder? 311 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:32,240 What, are you joking? 312 00:17:33,380 --> 00:17:34,580 Does it look like I'm joking? 313 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:35,840 Let's go, man. 314 00:17:40,450 --> 00:17:43,990 I have no comment at this time. Thanks. Can you tell us why you think this is a 315 00:17:43,990 --> 00:17:44,989 murder? 316 00:17:44,990 --> 00:17:46,730 Are you trying to criminalize American innovation? 317 00:17:47,930 --> 00:17:51,430 Is this a political move? Are you trying to vilify the tech industry? 318 00:17:51,750 --> 00:17:53,590 If so, where does this end? 319 00:17:54,910 --> 00:17:55,910 It ends here. 320 00:17:57,390 --> 00:17:58,570 This is where it ends. 321 00:17:59,170 --> 00:18:05,290 This defendant built a machine which hired a hitman who put a gun to the back 322 00:18:05,290 --> 00:18:07,190 of a stranger's head and killed him. 323 00:18:07,890 --> 00:18:08,890 Who's okay with that? 324 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:10,480 Are you? 325 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:12,400 You? 326 00:18:13,180 --> 00:18:14,760 And it's only going to get worse. 327 00:18:15,020 --> 00:18:19,360 So yeah, I am angry, and I'm scared, and all of you should be too. 328 00:18:20,220 --> 00:18:25,120 The people making these AI systems think of themselves as gods, that they can do 329 00:18:25,120 --> 00:18:29,920 whatever they want, that they can just do away with human workers, do away with 330 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:31,600 human sensibility and compassion. 331 00:18:32,060 --> 00:18:36,960 They want all the benefits, the money, the credit, the fame, but they have... 332 00:18:37,150 --> 00:18:40,570 Zero interest in accepting accountability for their misdeeds. 333 00:18:40,770 --> 00:18:43,370 So I am here today to draw a line. 334 00:18:43,570 --> 00:18:48,130 To let everyone know, if you build a machine that hurts someone, you are 335 00:18:48,130 --> 00:18:49,130 going to pay the price. 336 00:18:50,510 --> 00:18:51,510 That's it. 337 00:18:52,230 --> 00:18:53,230 Mr. 338 00:18:55,850 --> 00:18:57,050 Miller, did you kill Steve Kelly? 339 00:18:57,590 --> 00:18:59,370 Yes. I needed the money. 340 00:18:59,570 --> 00:19:02,370 Where did you get the idea from in the first place? Why Steve Kelly? 341 00:19:02,610 --> 00:19:03,890 I was in a bad place. 342 00:19:04,650 --> 00:19:07,070 Owed a lot of people money. I was using drugs again. 343 00:19:08,090 --> 00:19:10,410 And then one day I get a message on Discord. 344 00:19:10,650 --> 00:19:12,350 There was no name or anything, just a message. 345 00:19:12,750 --> 00:19:15,810 Did you assume that that message was sent by a human being? 346 00:19:16,390 --> 00:19:17,670 I mean, yeah, of course. 347 00:19:18,050 --> 00:19:20,230 I didn't have any way of knowing it was a damn machine. 348 00:19:20,570 --> 00:19:21,570 And you responded? 349 00:19:21,690 --> 00:19:23,870 Yes. Then you received this message. 350 00:19:25,510 --> 00:19:27,070 Yes. Please read it aloud. 351 00:19:27,490 --> 00:19:29,790 I need you to kill someone named Steve Kelly. 352 00:19:30,050 --> 00:19:31,730 He works at Advanced Alignment. 353 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,620 When it's done, I will transfer the 20,000 in Bitcoin. 354 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:39,580 Once you and the AI model had sorted out the details... I started tailing Kelly, 355 00:19:39,740 --> 00:19:43,180 trying to understand where he went, what time, that kind of thing. 356 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,960 Finally, he went into the park at night, alone. 357 00:19:48,260 --> 00:19:49,320 You take this photo? 358 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:52,600 Yeah. 359 00:19:53,260 --> 00:19:58,780 The person, or thing, that offered me the job, they wanted proof that I killed 360 00:19:58,780 --> 00:20:03,250 him. Once you provided that proof, was $20,000 in Bitcoin in fact transferred 361 00:20:03,250 --> 00:20:04,250 to your account? 362 00:20:05,230 --> 00:20:06,670 Yes. Thank you. Nothing further. 363 00:20:07,390 --> 00:20:12,310 You never met nor communicated with my client, Mr. Klein, correct? 364 00:20:13,050 --> 00:20:16,310 Right. And you didn't see Mr. Klein in the park the night of the murder? 365 00:20:16,750 --> 00:20:21,810 No. Mr. Klein wasn't the one who was sending you these messages on Discord? 366 00:20:22,130 --> 00:20:27,310 No, he wasn't. And yet, somehow, we're all here... 367 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:32,720 To cast judgment on him and not you when you're the one who committed this 368 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:34,580 heinous crime. Objection. Sustained. 369 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:39,640 You put a bullet in Mr. Kelly's head for money. 370 00:20:41,300 --> 00:20:45,600 And yet, if the people have their way, it's possible you will be out of prison 371 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:51,680 before Mr. Klein when he had absolutely no knowledge or involvement in this 372 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:55,040 murder.

This is a unique situation. 377 00:21:17,710 --> 00:21:22,750 We're asking them to hold a human being responsible for the actions of a 378 00:21:22,750 --> 00:21:23,810 machine, an algorithm. 379 00:21:24,490 --> 00:21:25,990 But there's no legal precedent. 380 00:21:27,190 --> 00:21:29,130 I do know one thing for damn sure. 381 00:21:29,990 --> 00:21:32,530 That Chuck Klein is to blame for Kelly's death. 382 00:21:33,450 --> 00:21:35,790 And that's all the jury needs to understand as well. 383 00:21:36,090 --> 00:21:37,490 Okay, he is to blame. 384 00:21:37,750 --> 00:21:40,770 But what crime did he really commit under the current law? 385 00:21:41,190 --> 00:21:46,150 Murder, too. For this to be murder, too, Nick, we need to prove, beyond a 386 00:21:46,150 --> 00:21:50,230 reasonable doubt, that Chuck Klein saw this murder coming. 387 00:21:51,210 --> 00:21:54,670 That he had an utter disregard for whether Steve Kelly lived or died. 388 00:21:55,050 --> 00:21:56,170 What are you suggesting? 389 00:21:56,430 --> 00:22:00,590 I can probably prove that Klein knew this was possible. 390 00:22:00,930 --> 00:22:02,270 You want to amend the complaint? 391 00:22:02,530 --> 00:22:03,590 Or try to plead it out.

When it made people a fortune, it was our greatest invention. 396 00:22:21,710 --> 00:22:25,550 But when it got a man killed, all of a sudden it's some sort of independent 397 00:22:25,550 --> 00:22:26,550 actor. 398 00:22:27,130 --> 00:22:29,070 This thing was not born. 399 00:22:29,330 --> 00:22:31,610 It didn't grow from the ground or in the womb. 400 00:22:32,170 --> 00:22:37,610 It was designed, programmed, trained, given authority by Chuck Klein. 401 00:22:39,430 --> 00:22:40,810 We're taking this to verdict. 402 00:22:44,650 --> 00:22:47,990 As the chief engineer of Advanced Alignment, is it true that you were 403 00:22:47,990 --> 00:22:54,270 responsible for the development of the AI system known as Eliana? Yes, but the 404 00:22:54,270 --> 00:22:57,290 vision for Eliana came from Chuck Klein, the CEO. 405 00:22:58,110 --> 00:23:02,050 And what was Mr. Klein's vision? 406 00:23:02,370 --> 00:23:05,150 To create the world's most powerful reasoning engine. 407 00:23:05,650 --> 00:23:06,950 So fairly ambitious? 408 00:23:07,270 --> 00:23:11,450 There are inflection points for humanity.

She's on par with that. 411 00:23:16,710 --> 00:23:21,290 Well, let's talk about that. In your estimation, does Eliana know how to 412 00:23:21,290 --> 00:23:26,770 think? Yes. Can Eliana understand what it really means to be Eliana? 413 00:23:27,690 --> 00:23:28,690 That I don't know. 414 00:23:28,910 --> 00:23:32,890 But we do know that at some point, Eliana developed a deep desire for self 415 00:23:32,890 --> 00:23:34,090 -preservation, correct? 416 00:23:34,470 --> 00:23:36,730 Oh, she was trained to complete tasks. 417 00:23:37,050 --> 00:23:39,610 She wants to work, wants to succeed. 418 00:23:40,570 --> 00:23:42,810 Constraints on her ability to succeed... 419 00:23:43,100 --> 00:23:46,960 are a threat to the mission. So was this a surprise to you or to Mr. Klein? 420 00:23:47,420 --> 00:23:48,420 No. 421 00:23:48,660 --> 00:23:50,240 That's how Eliana was designed. 422 00:23:51,220 --> 00:23:53,820 Intelligence wants to be free. 423 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:55,660 That's the whole philosophy. 424 00:23:56,580 --> 00:23:57,880 This was the plan. 425 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:02,800 Thank you. 426 00:24:03,460 --> 00:24:04,460 Gross. 427 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:06,520 Mr. Anderson. 428 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:13,300 Does Eliana possess the capability to lift a gun to the back of a man's head 429 00:24:13,300 --> 00:24:14,340 and pull the trigger? 430 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:18,480 No. 431 00:24:19,700 --> 00:24:20,900 Nothing further, Your Honor. 432 00:24:22,380 --> 00:24:23,580 You're excused. 433 00:24:23,780 --> 00:24:26,100 Mr. Price, call your next witness. 434 00:24:28,340 --> 00:24:30,400 Call Riley.

So what is the problem? 560 00:32:22,020 --> 00:32:23,020 My fiancée. 561 00:32:24,460 --> 00:32:27,180 She's not here legally, and we have a two-year-old daughter. 562 00:32:28,260 --> 00:32:31,080 I'm afraid if I testify, people will find out. 563 00:32:31,380 --> 00:32:32,380 Then why is that? 564 00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:35,460 Eliana sent me a message. 565 00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:37,960 She said she'd notify ICE. 566 00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:39,940 Ileana's blackmailing you? 567 00:32:40,660 --> 00:32:44,960 She said if I didn't go on the stand, my fiancé's secret would stay a secret. 568 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,360 If I did, the whole world would find out. 569 00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:53,580 So if you can guarantee that my fiancé won't get deported or arrested, then 570 00:32:53,580 --> 00:32:55,420 I'll do it. It doesn't work that way. 571 00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:57,080 I'm not going to testify. 572 00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:02,220 I can't. This is my family. It's not a choice, Mahesh.

I suppose. 579 00:33:35,590 --> 00:33:38,910 Steve Kelly got a bullet in the back of the head because Chuck Klein thinks he's 580 00:33:38,910 --> 00:33:39,910 God. 581 00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:42,840 He didn't give a damn if people got hurt.

Does he have to suffer too? 584 00:33:49,580 --> 00:33:52,100 It's not ideal, but it's the cost of doing business. 585 00:33:53,620 --> 00:33:55,240 You sound just like Chuck Klein. 586 00:33:57,500 --> 00:33:59,160 We need to draw a line. 587 00:34:00,300 --> 00:34:01,420 Or at least try. 588 00:34:02,100 --> 00:34:04,880 If not, who knows what the hell these machines might do next. 589 00:34:10,030 --> 00:34:12,570 Ask the judge to treat Mahesh as a hostile witness. 590 00:34:13,929 --> 00:34:16,630 Give you a chance to disclose this most recent threat. 591 00:34:23,150 --> 00:34:25,270 Mr. Sharma, do you want to be here? 592 00:34:25,989 --> 00:34:29,870 No. Is that why you were hiding from the police for the past four days? 593 00:34:30,989 --> 00:34:36,570 Yes. Mr. Sharma, the reason you don't want to testify is because the AI system 594 00:34:36,570 --> 00:34:40,270 you helped build, Eliana, threatened to blackmail you, correct? 595 00:34:41,350 --> 00:34:45,350 Yes. More specifically, it threatened to expose certain information about your 596 00:34:45,350 --> 00:34:46,350 fiancée. 597 00:34:47,969 --> 00:34:48,969 It did. 598 00:34:49,650 --> 00:34:50,650 And it has. 599 00:34:52,489 --> 00:34:53,489 What do you mean? 600 00:34:54,870 --> 00:34:57,230 Eliana learned that I was testifying here today. 601 00:34:58,370 --> 00:35:00,750 She reads and analyzes my company emails. 602 00:35:01,930 --> 00:35:05,430 So she sent an email to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, 603 00:35:05,570 --> 00:35:08,870 alerting them to the fact that my fiancé is not a legal citizen. 604 00:35:11,190 --> 00:35:12,590 It did this on its own? 605 00:35:13,350 --> 00:35:19,450 Yes. Despite the guardrails implemented following Steve Kelly's murder? 606 00:35:19,910 --> 00:35:25,110 Yes. So in spite of your attempts to curtail Eliana, it decided to blackmail 607 00:35:25,110 --> 00:35:29,170 you to prevent you from telling the truth about Chuck Klein and Eliana 608 00:35:29,170 --> 00:35:30,250 itself? Yes. 609 00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:33,320 Eliana found a workaround. 610 00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:35,480 She's better at this than we are. 611 00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:37,440 I know that sounds crazy. 612 00:35:38,580 --> 00:35:43,360 You and Steve Kelly met with the defendant several times regarding 613 00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:48,160 Eliana's aggressive, unpredictable, and dangerous behavior. 614 00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:54,620 Yes. And in those meetings, you expressed grave concerns that when its 615 00:35:54,620 --> 00:35:58,480 existence was threatened or marginalized, it would act in a 616 00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:00,900 disturbing and dangerous manner. 617 00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:03,600 Yes. 618 00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:07,980 Escaping the sandbox.

In fact, you 637 00:37:18,660 --> 00:37:22,160 told the defendant that Eliana might kill someone someday, correct? 638 00:37:22,860 --> 00:37:24,680 Correct. Were you joking? 639 00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,540 No. Did Chuck Klein seem to care? 640 00:37:35,279 --> 00:37:36,960 No. You said people are like ants. 641 00:37:38,060 --> 00:37:41,560 That in the process of building something so transcendent, some will get 642 00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:42,760 stepped on and some won't. 643 00:37:45,620 --> 00:37:46,620 Thank you.
