And Karpathy also talks about, he agreed with me, the verification gap is actually a very big deal, right?
Then another point I made, again, now perhaps, but Killer AI, it's actually already here, it's called drones, and every country is going to pursue that.
So the whole concept of, oh my god, let's regulate the chatbots and the
I'm not saying that one doesn't want to have some countermeasures on that, which I'll get to in a second.
But like the idea of what's going to kill you, it's going to be the drone that's going to be the physical actuator shooting you.
It's not just going to be like the super intelligence that makes, you know, things, right?
The next point, AI is probabilistic while crypto is deterministic.
And crypto are actually complementary.
Crypto is what AI can't do, okay?
Because AI can solve, you know, partial differential equations, but it can't solve chaos.
It can't solve turbulence, right?
When you've got ODEs or PDEs that are chaotic or turbulent effectively.
It cannot forecast the outcome of a hash function because, you know, like these are things which,
That's exactly right.
Sorry, I should say it can't easily calculate the preimage of a hash function, right?
So there are mathematical and physical bounds on an AI.
Like, for example, you could have a turbulent source of entropy that would be something in the decision algorithm that AI provably could not forecast because it couldn't forecast
what was going to happen to the turbulence, right?
So it's simply not omnipotent.
People are treating it as if it's omnipotent.
