We're not going to bog down the industry with a lot of rules early on.

That attitude has changed just in recent weeks.

And what's changed it has been the arrival of mythos, this anthropic version of its main artificial intelligence products,

which it declined to release to the public because it is so effective at conducting offensive cyber attacks.

It can search out and find almost instantly vulnerabilities in the code of utility grids or other infrastructure, and then order up an attack that can also be useful for defending that infrastructure.

The Chinese are worried about mythos themselves, but presumably they are working on very similar kinds of large language models.

And it's probably only six months, eight months, maybe a year away before they have a mythos of their own.

That should deeply worry the administration.

And I think one of the concerns that many American China experts have right now

is that the top officials of the Trump administration have been so distracted by what's happened in the Middle East that they're coming into this a bit ill-prepared.

This is not the conditions for the summit that President Trump envisioned.

When he put off this meeting by about six weeks, he assumed that by that time,

the war would be over, the Iranians would have capitulated, and the Strait of Hormuz would be open.

None of those three things are the case.

I think we're going to see, or maybe hear about secondhand, a lot of conversation surrounding the

the reopening of the Strait and the ending of this conflict.

The Chinese clearly want to get the Strait opened without having to go intervene themselves.

And they probably don't have the power to intervene very much.

They get about 30% or more of their oil and gas moving through the Strait of Hormuz.

So the Chinese have a huge economic interest in getting this resolved.
