And I don't know if it exists because I have never seen it.

But I should tell you that, you know, we always think, oh, AI is the future.

We've never used AI in space.

And to me, it would sound much more natural if we had a visitor with intelligence, but it's based on AI, not biologics, because then it can survive the long journey.

You know, I really admire biology because think about our brain.

It's using 20 watts.

It's the size of the brain, the human brain, was limited by the metabolic power of the human body.

It's using a fifth of the power of the human body.

And that's the largest brain that an animal like us can have, given our body size and the amount of food that we use.

It's operating on 20 watts.

Then you have these AI systems that are barely getting to the level of sophistication to imitate it.

And they use gigawatts.

We need nuclear powers.

And biology figured it out.

That's amazing.

Also, as much as self-driving cars are amazing, we don't have self-replicating cars.

In nature, you have animals like ourselves.

We replicate ourselves.

We have kids that can function and consume materials from the environment.

Just imagine your car, okay, using the sand or using some stuff in the environment to repair itself every time you bump into something.
