The transcript segments this claim was taken from

“If you have like a massive company with 10,000 people,”
“you see a lot more instances where people are territorial or like just care about getting a lot of headcount for their project or their team or like, you know, building their fiefdoms, getting a lot of resources so that they can publish cool work or whatever and get promoted.”
