And to my mind, it's incredible. Like, remember, nobody really programmed the robot exactly. This is all neural network learning how to move the claws and respond to the commands on its own. And to me, it's pretty wild that that works at all. And I think it's going to lead to some very cool developments.

To talk about one of my all-time favorite topics, nuclear weapons testing. And I got a question for you. Okay. When do you think is the last time the U.S. tested a nuclear weapon?

They actually stopped a lot later than that. They stopped in 1992. Wow. Yeah. And they've been pursuing a very different program based on science. And recently, I got a very, very unusual look at that program and all its facets and sort of how the U.S. continues to verify its nuclear weapons work without having to set any of them off.

I would say the official answer is no, but. There is more concern that the U.S. or another country might soon test another nuclear weapon.

You know, you think a nuclear test and it's like a mushroom cloud over the desert. But that was actually just a very brief period that those above ground tests were happening. It was mostly in the 1950s and it stopped because of radioactive fallout. The wind was carrying radioactive material much further than expected. And it started showing up on fishing boats.
