He's going to just go deal with all the bottlenecks himself, which is how he does things, which is why we need him.
Yeah, so I do think it starts with the problems that AI causes.
And actually one of the first thing, I woke up in the middle of the night one day and I was like, oh my God, somebody's going to go on a Zoom.
It's going to be AI me and they're going to tell my finance team to wire like, you know,
500 million dollars to nigeria and and that's gonna be a problem so you know and then we're like okay everything's hardware root of access don't believe anything from me unless it's got my cryptographic key on it all that kind of thing so i i knew these problems were coming they're coming so fast now um so i think there there's kind of several categories of things first is just
are you a human or are you a bot?
Like, I think everybody is going to really, really want to know that, be it social media, a dating app, a Zoom call, like anything you want to know.
Am I talking to an actual human?
Like, okay, can I prove that I'm a human being?
And then, you know, can I prove that I'm me?
And then can I sign content?
Like, how do I know it's true?
Like, there needs to be a distinction between... I get so many AI videos sent to me from my family that they think are not AI videos.
And they're like, did this really happen?
I'm like, no, you could actually ask Grok, and it's pretty good at that right now, but...
But I think, you know, like Grok's getting to the point where it can barely figure it out.
And I think at some point it won't be able to figure it out or AI will not be able to tell what's in AI.
So the only way is you're going to have to have, you know, something, some cryptographically strong indication assigned piece of content that says, okay, yeah, I made this, or this is like really a video of me, Marco Rubio,
giving a speech, this isn't something that somebody faked.
And then there needs to be a source of that truth.
