   There's always this utilitarian kind of point of view about models where people are like, well, why would I ever use this to make a movie if I'm not a filmmaker? Like I'm not trying to sell something. I don't need ads. Right. and i think an underappreciated aspect of of a lot of this technology is the reward it gives you personally to be able to make stuff like this and this is something i would say technology has allowed us to do over time we just sometimes forget about it i compare it to like going to the gym right so if you go to the gym and you exercise a lot of times you're going there not to become an athlete or like to you monetize your like your your performance in some way and get sponsors because you're going to be the best athlete at particular things right you just go there because you feel good it's good for your body you feel um we're all um excited to do it

And when you provide them with the things, it helps them be creative, and they're going to be able to and willing to pay for it. So there's definitely that component of it that it's an answer to how to monetize this. We'll build things that people like to use a lot, and people make countries.

   little videos per day. We have people making thousands, even like a week. And of course, on a more utilitarian aspect, well, of course, like this is incredibly useful for studios and agencies and content and gaming studios and everyone who's selling or who's in the business of pixel making. If you're making pixels for a living, this is a completely new way of making pixels with way cheaper and way more controllable methods. And I guess I'm thinking with you guys,
