So do you remember the website called Second Life? Yeah, of course. Philip Rosedale, a friend, he's the guy who started that. Wow. And for those who don't remember Second Life, it's just you get to be an avatar in this little computer world. You walk around, you talk to other avatars, and you can talk to them. First, I met a couple that had met in Second Life, and they were married to one another.

That's how they met each other. But it turns out that's not uncommon. Here's the thing. Technology has moved way on beyond Second Life. But there's still about a million people that use Second Life every day.

And these people often, not always, but quite often are people who, for example, are in wheelchairs or have other physical ailments, and they can be in Second Life and be avatars and live this other kind of life, which is precisely what you're describing. It's exactly the kind of thing.

So you and I will be hanging out in the metaverse where we don't have any dots on our skin or gray hairs, and we'll be really great high-resolution 3D avatars instead of low-resolution Second Life avatars. But I think that's exactly where we're all going.

Oh, that's really interesting to me. That's right. You know what I was thinking about is imagine you were in that situation and People find themselves in these situations. Let's not even take something as awful, but just like a divorce. You know, they're alone again. Building up a new relationship and getting a new spouse, that's a giant undertaking.

So I've been very interested in what is the near-term future of AI relationships. As you may know, there are tons of websites where people get, let's say, an AI girlfriend. It's typically males getting an AI girlfriend. There are some women who get AI boyfriends.

But in Japan, apparently, this is an enormous thing going on where the statistic I heard, I haven't verified this, but I heard that 30% of young males have an AI girlfriend. Now, I'm fascinated by this because presumably that's not going away. So there's two things that could happen.
