The human didn't have to look up in a computer, you know, fact check or rather biometric check.

So it's still machine learning.

Even the offset biometrics that are seeing you from far away.

And isn't his new book, which I haven't read yet, like we're basically almost there?

He puts it at four years?

Which is another endlessly interesting, tragic thought that I think about a lot is how we humans go.

Meanwhile, your AI is just getting smarter and smarter and smarter infinitely, including in terms of time.

And we just deteriorate.

Those pictures of them that are like several hundred years old?

I didn't know that.

This is that conundrum of the dual-use technology of the military because most of these technologies begin on DARPA grants.

And then they – you know, the limb regeneration.

And then it sort of – it inspires and also opens up a whole other lane for –

Because DARPA or the Defense Department has to do the blue sky research that no one else is willing to fund because it's too expensive and it doesn't have an immediate return.

Right.

So it's, you know.

No, there's a great benefit to that.

Absolutely.

Or the part like DARPA invented LIDAR technology.

Every time I read about one of these lost civilizations that is uncovered because the LIDAR can look through the trees in the jungle and see the footprint of a lost civilization, it's so amazing.
