And if the president is kept in the dark, obviously, I'm in the dark about them.

And the question is, do they exist?

And of course, one can request those documents and hope for the best.

The US Congress can also request those corporations to share what they have.

And that has happened with Representative Burleson recently.

He asked MITRE and other

another corporation to release there.

I mean, Lockheed Martin is another one that is often talked about as potentially having some materials there.

But I don't have firsthand information that such materials exist, not to speak about biologics, which is another subject.

And, of course, Steven Spielberg in his movie suggested that he believes the US government is in possession of alien bodies.

That was shown at the end of the movie.

But he was using his artistic freedom to display that.

It's not clear whether in reality it exists.

Well, I wrote an essay last week in which I mentioned that we developed artificial intelligence based on silicon chips.

These chips are being made out of sand.

We take sand, we purify it, we use the silicon and make those wafers that are used in the chips.

And we think that's the pinnacle of our technological advance to make those AI systems that can potentially be scaled up to be more capable than the human brain.

But the fact of the matter is that right now we are using gigawatts of power to perform the cognitive skill that the human brain displays with just 20 watts.

And the human brain is, of course, relying on biology, on chemical reactions rather than silicon chips.

Very different method.
