But I feel like I I I I've taken us down the wrong path. voice-verified

Let's back up and talk about um what you guys have built. voice-verified

So you've built a a biological data center. voice-verified

You have 120 units in Melbourne, and you're gonna do one in Singapore next, which I believe can get even bigger. voice-verified

in your your stem cell based I point out we're not killing people here to steal their brains, stem cell based neurons, you can just make them make them grow them. voice-verified

No? voice-verified

Uh raise them. voice-verified

Raise them. voice-verified

Okay, I'm sorry, it's my usual words don't work as well when we translate them over to here. voice-verified

So basically, you you've made a a biological system that keeps a small number compared to our brains of neurons alive that are connected to these chips that do a lot of cool things. voice-verified

Here's my question though. voice-verified

Do you think that as chips get smarter, we're going to need more neurons to interface with them? voice-verified

Or is this amount of voice-verified
