If their calculus becomes

oh, no, this is going to work out.

We can take this and then, you know, we're strong enough so it'll work out for us.

And then our calculus is the opposite.

That's where the World War scenario happens.

So I think it's possible to deter.

And I think we have to, you know, there's a lot of things we have to do to make sure that we deter that conflict.

And that should be, I mean, certainly, I think it already is like 80% of the focus of the entire DoD.

Yeah, I mean, I think that if they assess, if the CCP and the PLA assess that Taiwan is all they're at, like they will focus their entire military capacity on seizing Taiwan, then that becomes a really...

That becomes a really tricky calculus.

And then they win the AI race.

Yeah, the only thing that we can do...

think this is a long shot but i think it's important is if um if ultimately we actually end up collaborating on ai and i know that sounds kind of crazy but um but if we're able as a country to demonstrate just we're so far ahead

And there's like... One key element of how the whole AI thing plays out is this idea of AI self-improvement or intelligence recursion, sometimes people call it.

But basically...

Once AIs get sufficiently good, then you can start utilizing the AIs to help you build the next AI.

As sci-fi as that sounds, you utilize your current generation AI to build the next generation AI faster and faster and faster and faster.

And so at some point,

your AI capabilities enable you, like, you know, there's some form of like, you know, just exponential takeoff.

They just, you know, your AI capabilities get good really, really quickly.
