it's extreme power that has never existed before and so who governs that power who governs that technology who makes sure that you know it's used for the right purposes um those are like some of the most important societal questions that we'll have to deal with man i mean where do you even where do you even start with that who do you trust kick to control your mind yeah i mean i think well

It's interesting.

I think the one thing that I think has been, I think a lot of people kind of understand it now, and we were talking a little bit about this at breakfast, is like, even the degree to which

even just general media today kind of controls your mind or controls the, like, opinions you have or the beliefs you have.

And, you know, we were talking about, like, you know, does the media prop up certain military forces to make them seem far more fearsome than they actually are?

And, like, you know, there's, like, some low-grade... You can kind of view, like, some low-grade forms of, like, you know...

Propaganda manipulation.

Propaganda manipulation.

All that stuff is happening, let's say, on a scale of 1 to 10 at the 1 or 2 level today.

And then once you have Neuralink or other devices, it's going to be like a 9 or a 10.

And I think it's really hard.

I mean, I think... I don't think...

any country is prepared to govern technology as powerful as the technology that we're going to be developing over the next few decades.

AI, I don't know if we're prepared.

Brain-commuter interfaces, I don't know if we're prepared.

Large-scale robotics, I don't know if we're prepared.

These are technologies that are just so much more powerful than anything that has come before.

Sometimes people will say like,

You know, AI is the new mobile.

It'll be as big as mobile phones.
