Mm-hmm.

That becomes a little troubling when you consider that if there's a human in the system, then the human can interface with the drones provided that the human has access to that AI language.

But very easily the AI language could decide not to include the humans.

That's fascinating.

But wait, did they, had they been given a command to make up their own language?

So they just took it upon themselves.

Whoa, and that's 2017?

Yeah.

That's crazy.

And that's seven years ago.

But this is the old, you know, just because you can do it, should you do it?

Right.

And this is the lesson that is never learned and seems to be going in only one direction in terms of existential threat.

You look at the atomic bomb.

It's the old, we hope it will work and not set the atmosphere on fire.

Then you look at recombinant DNA in the 1970s when...

When biologists first figured out that they could combine DNA, there were massive discussions among scientists to curtail this technology.

And it just kind of evaporated from people's minds, and then suddenly you have CRISPR.

And again, these are all the dual-use issues.

No doubt, medicines, antivirals, things that can help the people.
