it was then they became batteries and that's where that whole plot with the they blocked out the sun so they wouldn't have solar but originally the the storyline was supposedly written as we were going to be a harvest farm for more neural networks because like you said maybe ai can't or you know they can't develop chips to really think the way we do but maybe if they were using our brains but in a way that's what they're doing in singapore right now

I tell you what, and this is the stuff that was the material of sci-fi decades ago, but it's actually happening in real life right now.

And there are so many little things that are happening at the same time that when these things all converge, like when you asked me what are my big fears related to AI, that is my biggest fear is that we have about... four different pathways that are all about to converge right now.

And when that happens, I think it's, you know, I'm not a fear monger.

I'm just one of those people that like, I'm interested in human behavior.

I'm interested in technology and I'm interested to see what happens when those things come together.

But our brains, like you said, our brains follow chemicals, right? Like if you get dopamine, your brain changes structurally in a way to make you pursue that dopamine more.

It's very different.

And then from an innovation point of view?

From an innovation and ingredient point of view, I think it's a multifunctionality of ingredients.

So obviously, using one ingredient for one or more applications or across multiple SKUs makes things easier from a sourcing standpoint.

But, um, it's on us to show the versatility and, and guide formulators as to where these ingredients can fit beyond maybe the conventional uses.
