You've got GPT-5, which is already superhuman from a differential diagnostic and care treatment and protocol point of view.

Turning healthcare into an information technology is going to make it deflationary.

It's going to democratize it, and it's going to make it ubiquitous.

And I'm very optimistic about that.

I'm so excited for this.

I think technology is intrinsically neutral.

You know, with the invention of the ship came the invention of the shipwreck.

If you've got a technology of this magnitude that can design a therapeutic that can mitigate a disease, you can also use it to design a bioweapon, right?

So think about this as the most powerful technology for good or for ill.

But I think about the upside here, and Dario Amadeus wrote a beautiful essay that I quote a lot called Machines of Love and Grace, and in it he talked about the compressed 21st century.

How do you take a century of biomedical and scientific advances and compress it into a five or ten year process?

And if you look over the history of the great breakthroughs in medicine, it happens kind of metronomically every 18 months to 24 months.

And, you know, over the last generation, you had the mapping of the genome, you had, you know, continued advances in x-ray crystallography, you had immunotherapy, you had CAR-T, you had mRNA, you had CRISPR.

And if you've got a virtual biologist, and I talked about this super intelligence that is researching and assimilating the 2.2 million peer-reviewed biomedical and scientific studies every year, that's eventually hypothesizing its own solutions, its own postulates for a new molecule or a new diagnostic instrument.

I think about how do you add 30 to 40 years to human longevity?

How do you democratize what's available to rich, white urbanites in the United States and democratize healthcare access across the globe?

How do you eliminate the unjustified clinical variation and have cybernetic doctors that are omniscient?

How do we transform humanity?

you know, human flourishing and really elevate those who are dispossessed, those who are marginalized.

I mean, I said it earlier, only 1 billion people in the world have access to a doctor, but 6 billion people have smartphones.
