This issue.

Indeed, if you look at DeepSea, which is really impressive, they managed to find algorithms that got around the problems by making them more efficient.

Because China is doing everything open source, open weights, we immediately got the benefit of their invention and have adopted it into US things.

So we're in a situation now, which I think is quite tenuous, where the US is largely driving, for many, many good reasons, largely closed models, largely under very good control.

China is likely to be the leader in open source unless something changes, and open source leads to very rapid proliferation around the world.

This proliferation is dangerous at the cyber level and the bio level, but let me give you why it's also dangerous in a more significant way, in a nuclear threat way.

Dr. Kissinger, who we all worked with very closely, was one of the architects of mutual assured destruction, deterrence and so forth.

And what's happening now is you've got a situation where, I'll use an example, it's easier if I explain.

You're the good guy and I'm the bad guy, OK?

You're six months ahead of me, and we're both on the same path for superintelligence.

And you're going to get there, right?

And I'm sure you're going to get there.

You're that close.

and I'm six months behind.

Pretty good, right?

Sounds pretty good.

No.

These are network effect businesses.

And in network effect businesses, it is the slope of your improvement that determines everything.

So I use OpenAI or Gemini.
