In their words

The transcript segments this claim was taken from

“simulation theory and thin films powder.”
“So hardware engineering like these seem like very diverse roles which they are but they're all actually coherent in what they're trying to do which is a sensor for intelligence and this also applies to the LLM researchers,”
“the infra,”
“even the product engineers because the product engineers kind of make sure all the research gets made into.”
“made into a product that the experimentals in the lab can use.”
