Right.

They're saying, please regulate us.

But when they say, please regulate us, it's accused of regulatory capture.

And then when the government says we're going to seize your property, it's like, well, what did you expect?

And it's like, yeah, I just I just think that's it's like it's it's it's attributing maximal bad faith to them on on sort of both sides.

And I think it I think that's just not consonant with the facts.

The other problem with the nuclear analogy is.

is that, that makes this all so difficult, is that, like, these technologies are going to be so useful to the everyday American, to all of us, that it feels like, and also, like, I just feel as though, I just feel it in my bones, and I think everyone does at this point.

How can you not look at this, look at this technology honestly, and say to yourself,

you know, that this will not be an incredibly important part about how all of us exercise our liberty in the coming decades.

Let me stop you right there.

Well, there's so much to say here.

First of all, I think that AI as a normal technology is an essay by two Princeton University scholars, and its headline became a meme.

A meme that I think has justified a lot of very poor strategic thought with respect to artificial intelligence.

Their point was not AI is not an utterly transformative technology that will change the architecture of the world.

Their point was more, it was supposed to be a call to action.

It was supposed to say...

we have agency to shape the trajectory of how this goes, but we have to like do that, right?

Like we have to like actually do it.

You know, the traffic law didn't invent itself, right?
