But we just are going to have to do it.

AI is going to go like this.

Humans are going to improve at a much slower rate.

And we're going to need to hook into that capability.

I mean, the obvious thing is that some corporation hacks your brain.

Well, it's a corporation hacks your brain, which even that's pretty bad, but that'll be like what?

They'll send ads directly to your brain, or they'll make it so that you want to buy their products or whatnot.

But then even worse, obviously, a foreign actor, a terrorist, an adversary, a state actor, hacks into your brain and...

um and takes your memories or takes you know like manipulates you or all these things i mean that is that's obviously pretty bad um yeah um and i think that's i do like it's definitely a huge risk i mean for sure if you have a direct link into someone's brain um

and you have the ability to, like, read their memories, control their thoughts, read their thoughts, like, you know, that's pretty bad.

I've talked to a lot of scientists in this space and a lot of people working on this stuff, including the folks at Neuralink, and, you know, mind reading and mind control are, like, those are the... That is where the technology will go over time, right?

And so it is, like...

It's something that we have to, like any advanced technology, we have to not fuck that up.

But it's going to be pretty critical if we want humans to remain relevant as AI keeps getting better.

I mean, yeah, so first of all, we don't understand the brain too much today, but eventually we will.

Science is going to solve this problem, right?

And everything you just mentioned is ultimately going to be on the table, you know?

Manipulating your emotions, manipulating your senses.

The senses thing is already happening, where I think in monkeys, they've shown that, like, they can... You know, they don't know what it's like from the monkey's perspective, but they're able to project...

like on a grid of a monkey and get them to like, like click on the right button really reliable.
