And it only targets the serotonin receptors in specific parts of the brain as opposed to just like, you're going to get it all. And so it has seemingly no more probability to reduce sex drive or alter consumption of food patterns than a placebo. That's not even developed with AI. That's just a more selective targeting. we can get almost 100 to zero ratio targeting with that phase two approach.
Now you just want muscle growth and skeletal muscles only, you got it. Entirely AI driven. And when the first phase one participant takes that first pill, there's an almost 100% chance that they're just gonna be like, holy crap, what else do you feel? How's your blood work? Everything's totally normal because we've tested it on every single other receptor in the human body.

There are definitely bumps in the road with that. simple, but it's on the way there. And the last thing in the world I'd ever want to do is to think, oh, AI is, every now and again you hear like, oh, AI is overrated, it's overhyped. In my view, there is no overhyping AI. Short of like, it's magical and it's going to be here tomorrow and we'll never die. Fine. Okay.

It's a few years too off center, but the power of computing all of this And then using that computation to test it in the human body and getting iterative loops on that is to me not to be understated.

And if somehow biology is somehow magically intractable for older folks or whatever, I think that scanning of the human brain and brain machine interface and mind uploading is going to happen by the 2040s anyway. And then it doesn't matter what the hell your body's like. You live in the cloud.

I'd fight on the side of the machines. I want the machines to win. Machines are children. In or out of the matrix. Oh, however they best can use me, I guess. The Matrix is an unbelievable series of films. Until the last one. The last one was awful. The third one. How could they possibly have ruined that franchise? You're the only person to ever say that. The 100 million other people.

I haven't even seen it, Peter, to be completely honest, because my friend, someone I trust very dearly, Dr. James Hoffman, I was like, so? He's like, just don't watch it. I was like, nope, not going to see it. I've seen the last three Star Wars films, and I wish I could unsee those.

Never happened. Honestly, just the first and second. And the second one isn't a very deep movie. It's just the greatest action film ever made. Like the freeway scene, you just can't beat that. That's the only reason that movie is any good. The Matrix presupposition is preposterous on almost every ground that you think about it.

The machines had, in the plot of The Matrix, a type of fusion, but they also used us as batteries. Are you kidding me? That's like 10 orders of... Also, how are they feeding us? Like, you just burn the wheat, for the love of God. Stop feeding it to humans. That whole thing is ridiculous. The other thing is, they said that we tried to make The Matrix sublime and angelic. Entire crops were lost.

People rejected it. Bullshit! You put someone unknowingly into a Lord of the Rings fantasy in which they're like the king and they get to win the game, they're just going to play that for forever. I actually anticipate a high probability... that vast fractions of the human race will disappear into the simulation willingly.

Imagine a place where you can run your brain at 1000x normal speed and live like a thousand lives in the span of a regular human lifetime.
