When I was researching the nuclear war book, I came across a quote from General Groves.
Remember him from the Oppenheimer film?
The Matt Damon character?
He was at a commission.
This is like a year after the atomic bombing of Hiroshima.
And he was asked about radiation.
And he said, quote, radiation is a very pleasant way to die.
That's what he told Congress.
And so it's everywhere with officials untilβ Safe and effective.
It's a pleasant way to die.
Okay, here's the dystopian version of that that I just heard about recently on your access of language, where you said we're all going to be speaking the same language.
So in the defense world, there's a movement now for drone swarms.
You must know about this.
So now there's a movement because things are happening.
Technology is moving so fast.
There's a movement to have the drones communicate with one another through an AI language.
So that it is non-hackable.
So the different pods, the different drone swarms will have language that they will invent and they will know and we will not know.
