Jordan Metzner [20:43]: Yeah. So we can talk a little bit more just on AI as well here. Obviously, Elon's been spending hardcore on getting Grok out to the users. And I don't know if you saw this, but basically the same thing that happened with ChatGPT a few days ago happened with Grok now, but essentially their public share links of the Grok responses got indexed by Google leading to some personal information getting shared. But one, this is funny because it just happened a week ago with ChatGPT. But two Yeah. They don't let nothing gets by them. I mean, literally, took this public this link, they made it public, and immediately Google's indexing it. It just shows, like, how fast and how good their indexing technology is as well. Have you tried Grok? Have you tried Grok 4?
Sam Nadler [21:25]: A little bit, but not nearly as much as the other models. I know you Yeah.
Jordan Metzner [21:34]: It's okay. It's not better than anything else. I mean, it's not better than Claude for coding, or, GPT five, I think, now. At least not in my opinion. But I haven't tried the heavy at length.
