oubt about it. So if it's true, here's where it gets interesting. Try to connect these two thoughts and ask yourself why they're not already connected. Don't you think that all the smart people are saying that AI dominance is the future? So if you're not dominant in AI, you're basically toast.

But the Wall Street Journal is reporting that if you look at the funding, you look at what they've done so far, that Russia doesn't have any chance of being AI dominant. They might make good drones, but they're not going to be AI dominant. Now, maybe the US will be the dominant one. Maybe it's China, but it won't be Russia.

So if you believe that your entire country is toast if you're not AI dominant, does it matter if Russia conquers Ukraine or even gets another big chunk of it? Because all the AI people will tell you, well, they're basically Russia's going to go out of business anyway. It's just a matter of time. Is that true?

Maybe it's never been true that if you're not AI dominant, you're going to be toast. I mean, you weren't toast when the United States became dominant, right? Other countries still exist. Russia still has an army. So maybe we've made too much of this AI dominance thing. What do you think? It could be that the whole AI thing is just so overrated that there's nothing there. You know, maybe your drones will be a little better, but that's about it. I don't know.

So try to connect the two thoughts. One is that Russia is definitely going to get everything they want from Ukraine, but also how's that fit with Russia will be completely toast in a very short time because they'll never be dominant in AI and they'll never even be good probably. They'll probably not even be average good. Can both of those things be true? I don't know.

Well, there's a company called—I'll see in a moment—called biological—there's a platform called the biological interface system to cortex or BISC. So there's a developed by teams at Columbia University and it's a new form of chip for your brain. Now as you know Elon Musk has a company Neuralink that makes a brain interface that's been super impressive so far.

But allegedly, and there's a big allegedly on this, allegedly this other startup slash entity has a super impressive chip that does not need a bunch of connections to your brain and somehow can control more of your brain for much less cost. It uses much less real estate. So basically, it's a whole other higher level of brain interface.

Now, like everything in technology, it's probably overrated, but it does tell you where things are going. And if it's true that Neuralink has a real legitimate competitor, that should make things go a little bit faster, right? Even if what happens is Neuralink buys the other entity and just takes their technology, we're probably at the point where the potential for these chips becomes mainstream because today if you asked me Scott do you want a hole in your skull? We're going to put a chip there and a bunch of good things are going to happen. I would say no thank you. Why don't you go first?

But suppose this new technology was so good that I knew two or three people who had the chip and they were just delighted by it and it gave them a superpower. Well then I'm going to be a cyborg as fast as I can. And it does look like I have to admit I wasn't sure this whole Neuralink thing had that much of a future. You know, even if you assume, oh, technology always improves and never assume it will stop improving because it always improves. Even with that, I wasn't really sure that we could put a chip on your brain and make it talk to it. But at the moment, I do. At the moment, I think that this is something where the potential is hard to imagine.

And imagine if you will that you had all the powers of AI automatically and it was just in your brain. You wouldn't need a phone, right? You wouldn't need a phone. You wouldn't need a computer. Maybe you could just see the things floating in front of you even though they're not there. So that's exciting. It's exciting that there's a potentially a big competitor to Neuralink.

Well, here's a story you have to be careful with. There's—let's see, this is the Okayama University. Some researchers found that at least in mice, there's a green light, so a certain kind of light that apparently will kill cancer. So if I told you that there's a type of light that would kill cancer, what would be your first reaction? Well, if you were CNN, your first reaction would be, "Wait a minute. Why does dri
