But in the real world, especially when it comes to violent stuff like that, none of that matters. It's all about motivation. Like if someone is really motivated, they will figure this stuff out. It's not like the thing that was blocking them was just like, oh, I'm not smart enough. You know, it's not really what the issue is.

I will agree that like a lot of crimes happen because they're more convenient and this would make certain things more convenient. I kind of see that point, but yeah.

Yeah, it could be fast. I mean, it was taking the current form, right? If you're someone that is trying to go from not knowing how to do this to knowing how to do this, what does North Korea have? They have motivation, for sure. This is probably like their top priority. They have enough funding to... Figure it out. So given enough time, they will. There's like no stopping that. Yeah.

Do certain tools help them do that faster? Definitely. The same way that Microsoft Excel probably helps them figure out stuff faster.

So I get why this feels like really specific, but... If you're talking about that level of impact in the harm space, we should see the equivalent level of impact for people trying to do anything good, right? So I'm not like, I want to cure cancer. And I'm not like suddenly as a random person any closer to doing that. Yeah. So yeah, I think that side of it is a little overstated.

I think they're kind of like... I think they're just kind of in this bubble. That's kind of a little bit like, like feeding this narrative into itself. So like, yeah, that's why the whole safety thing, I don't, I don't fully get it. Like every technology makes certain things more convenient.

acquisition of knowledge being the place that people get stuck it's it's usually that the u.s and like all the countries try to have a crazy strict control over the raw material need to make a nuclear weapon that's probably where the bottleneck is and even that you know the countries work around there's always someone that's against the u.s that has access and

Yeah, I feel like this detail is kind of irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.
Yeah, I feel like this detail is kind of irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.
then yeah what's the problem i don't know yeah it's just funny because it's it's such a virtual thing it's like something that like you imagine someone going to a store and buying a physical hammer and like smashing your head in that's like so so real whereas like this is just entirely in the virtual space and it's just it's hard to imagine that uh you know it just feels like They have a point.
