I'm excited.

Well, it's becoming so critical to national security and all the stuff that you're very passionate about.

So, I mean, I think fundamentally tech is like, we got to get it right.

Otherwise, stuff gets really dangerous.

So, yeah, a few things.

So, yeah, I mean, what I mentioned is basically I want to wait to have kids until we figure out how Neuralink or other, it's called brain-computer interfaces, so other ways for brains to interlink with a computer until they start working.

So there's a few reasons for this.

First is...

In your first like seven years of life, your brain is more neuroplastic than at any other point in your life, like by an order of magnitude.

So there have been examples where, you know, for example, if somebody, if a kid is born, like you have a newborn that has, let's say they have cataracts in their eyes, so they can't see through.

um uh the cataracts and then they live their first seven life with seven years of their life with those cataracts and then you have them removed when they're like eight or nine then even with those removed they're not going to learn how to see because they're it's so important in those first seven years of your development that you're able to you're you're able to see that your brain can like learn how to read the signals coming off of your eyes and if you

If you don't have that until you're like eight or nine, then you won't learn how to see.

So because it's so important that your neuroplasticity is so high in that early stage of life, I think when we get Neuralink and we get these other technologies, kids who are born with them are gonna learn how to use them

in like crazy, crazy ways.

Like it'll be actually like a part of their brain in a way that it'll never be true for an adult who gets like a Neuralink or whatever hooked into their brain.

So that's why to wait.

Now Neuralink as a concept or like hooking your brain up to a computer, I kind of take a pragmatic view on this, which is,

My day job, I work on AI.

I believe a lot in AI.

I think AI is going to continue becoming smarter and smarter, more and more capable, more and more powerful.
