[Music] Humans have always taken risks. We harnessed fire, taming a force that could burn or build. We crossed treacherous seas chasing lands unseen. We battled fierce beasts, stood against nature's fury, and confronted other human species in our quest for survival. We conquered the highest peaks on planet Earth, scaling summits once thought impossible. We soared into the skies, defying gravity and fragile machines. We plunged into deep uncharted oceans, braving the unknown beneath. We launched ourselves into space,

daring to step beyond Earth. Every leap forward was fueled by courage and curiosity, and every step carried its own peril. Today, our courage pushes us further than ever before. We are on the brink of creating a new kind of species. A species born not from flesh and blood, but from compute and code. Artificial intelligence. We've always dared to dream, to venture into the unknown, and to shape our own evolution. So why should we stop taking risks

now? [Music]
