There's a lot of technical talent in Europe as well.
I think it's unclear exactly how this plays out with the European capabilities.
I mean, they have to... It seems like there's some efforts now for Europe to try to...
build up large scale power, build up large data centers, you know, make a play.
I think yet to be seen how effective those efforts are going to be, but you can clearly see some scenarios where if they make a hard turn and go all in, they could be relevant as well.
You know, obviously you can hypothetically paint the scenario where, like, you know, you have super intelligence or you have really powerful AI and then, you know, it realizes at some point that humans are kind of annoying and takes us all out.
But I think it's a very, like, that's so preventable as an outcome.
Because, first of all, all the things we just talked about are, like,
the very real things that happen long before you have, you know, this hyper advanced AI that takes everyone out.
That's first, that's first thing.
So we have lots of things we have to get right before then.
And then second is, you know, for AI to actually be capable of, you know, having a mind of its own and taking all humans out, like we'd have to give it just incredible amounts of control.
Like it would have to just,
basically be running everything and we're just sort of like along for the ride.
And that's a choice.
We have this choice of whether or not to like give all of our control to AI systems.
And as I was talking about before with like human sovereignty,
My belief is we should not cede control of our most critical systems.
We should design all the systems such that human decision-making, human control is really, really important.
