You've got some experts dangling $50 billion checks and saying, oh, all that Duma stuff, it's just fringe nonsense.

Contributions to artificial intelligence research.
Yep.
And I think take action as well.
I mean, some people say, oh, you know, AGI doesn't have to have a body.
But a good chunk of our intelligence actually is about managing our body, about perceiving the real environment and acting on it, moving, grasping, and so on.
So I think that's part of intelligence, and AGI systems should be able to operate robots successfully.
