That wouldn't violate any of my priors, but am I certain that these systems are here? And it'd be difficult for me to say so, right? I only have secondhand information about there being data. About the bottom of the ocean?
I mean, frankly, when I had the idea for the type of computer I'm building now, I think it was eight years ago now, it really felt like it was being beamed from space. I was in bed just shaking, just thinking it through and I don't know. But do I believe that legitimately? I don't think so. But, you know...

I think that alien life could take many forms, and I think the notion of intelligence and the notion of life needs to be expanded much more broadly to be less anthropocentric or biocentric.

I think the journey to understand something called ADS-CFT. So the journey to understand quantum gravity through this picture where a hologram of lesser dimension is actually dual or exactly corresponding to a bulk theory of quantum gravity of an extra dimension. And the fact that this sort of duality comes from trying to learn deep learning-like representations of the boundary.

And so, at least part of my journey someday on my bucket list is to apply quantum machine learning to these sorts of systems, these CFDs or They're called SYK models and learn an emergent geometry from the boundary theory. And so, we can have a form of machine learning to help us understand quantum gravity, right?

Which is, you know, still a holy grail that I would like to hit before I leave this earth.

Black holes are really fascinating objects. They're at the interface between quantum mechanics and gravity, and so they help us test all sorts of ideas. I think that for... Many decades now, there's been sort of this black hole information paradox that things that fall into the black hole seem to... We seem to have lost their information.

Now, I think there's this firewall paradox that has been allegedly resolved in recent years by... You know, a former peer of mine, who's now a professor at Berkeley. And there, it seems like there is, as information falls into a black hole, it's sort of sort of a sedimentation, right?
