0:00.0	Welcome back to part two of this incredible conversation.
0:05.0	Without further ado, here we go.
0:07.0	Okay, so you guys are able to replicate micro brains.
0:12.0	How do you make them small?
0:15.0	Well, we grow them from single cells.
0:17.0	We turn them into stem cells.
0:19.0	Would they just keep growing and growing and growing and growing if you fed them? They reach a certain size where they don't keep growing because they don't
0:26.0	have blood vessels. Do they have a pituitary gland? They don't have blood vessels. I don't know if
0:30.5	they're pituitary. How do they stay alive? We shake them in liquid and the oxygen diffuses through.
0:36.8	But if they get too big, the core becomes hypoxic
0:39.8	and doesn't grow well. But what we need to do is to mix them with blood vessel cells, which
0:44.4	people are working on, and then we could grow them really big. This is so interesting. Oh my God.
0:51.6	And then it's ethical questions about if you can grow a brain from scratch, should you teach it something? Should you give it something to think about?
1:00.2	Yes. Anyway, it's a good model for aging. Dude. So wait. There are, it's my understanding, AI that right now can do like these really rough like this person is thinking about this. And it like shows you like a horse. And you're like, it's kind of a horse. It's just like sort of blobby shapes. We need to apply immediately this AI to these brains. I need to know if these things are like screaming out. I'm bored, bro. Like, come on, give me something to do. This is wild.
1:27.9	Okay.
1:28.4	I love everything about this.
1:29.4	And here's the other thing is we see them get old.
1:32.5	They lose their firing.
1:33.9	And we can look at them in real time.
1:35.4	They're actually, you see these sparks, like looking at fireworks.
1:39.3	When they get older, there's fewer sparks.
1:41.8	How are you monitoring the brains?
