And I wonder if you will tell us whether it's your decision or your AI's decision.

Let's go to the question here.

I mean, if you listen to what it says, when you ask it a question, it absolutely knows human emotion.

And it can actually create things that are quite beautiful.

And there's no way you could say that it lacks human emotion.

Some of the earliest benchmarks that the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence ran on then early large language models were emotional intelligence benchmarks.

And you can see, to raise law of accelerating returns, you can see very predictable progress in the AI's ability to answer questions that require emotional modeling of human counterparties.

I think the question goes beyond that, though.

And it's a great question, because if you look at,

The hard sciences, you said we need more soft science.

The hard sciences are predicated on this world where we don't have enough food.

We don't have enough houses.

We need more food.

We need more houses.

We need industrial equipment to make more food and more houses.

And so now we're moving into this world of we need more medicine.

We need longevity.

People are in pain.

And so that's the obvious next frontier.

But no one has stopped and said, well, what's the science of human happiness?
