Are you concerned, particularly when we talk about technology and technological change accelerating at an accelerating rate, are you concerned, like we are here at the World, we're pretty open about this concept called the singularity, not just about artificial intelligence, but the convergence of advanced chip design and quantum computing and CRISPR biotechnology?

regenerative robotics, and artificial general intelligence, super intelligence.

The conversion of that in this concept we call the singularity, which on this side of that point is Homo sapiens, and on the other side of that point is Homo sapien 2.0.

Are you as concerned about that, and do you think that changes the entire – is that a line we're crossed that everything beforehand Larry Shrek would say, this is human history or Homo sapien history, everything post that is Homo sapien 2.0 history?
