I don't know if that's the difference between being a woman and a man.

But why is it that there isn't more of a movement toward this idea that we as a world have all this incredible technology?

I mean, it sounds even...

It sounds silly even saying such a thing, but I'm saying it.

Why isn't there a movement to stop looking at people as someone to kill?

You think it's inherent in humans.

But brilliance and folly is a more interesting way of looking at it than good and evil.

Yeah.

Which automatically puts it in a moral context, which makes people even argue further.

It'll be 1980s empire instead of chimp empire.

But ultimately... You freak out about technology specifically.

It's wise to realize how we're not gonna even have an opportunity to see what happens to AI if one madman with a nuclear missile decides to do a bolt out of the blue attack.

And that is possible, and that's what everyone in Washington fears.

And I think this goes back to the idea that it's great 10, 20 years later to be like, oh, my God, look what they were doing.

Can you believe they covered this all up and learned from it?

But you can't learn from the fact.

how dangerous nuclear war is, how close we are, how we are one misunderstanding away from a nuclear war.

Once it happens, there's no learning.

There's no learning.

There's no opportunity, which is why I always say read nuclear war scenario.
