TRIGGERnometry
Is This The End of Humanity? - Eric Weinstein

I'm not the person to design this, and I don't think we're doing it in a smart way.

TRIGGERnometry
Is This The End of Humanity? - Eric Weinstein

I think what we're doing is that we're all playing chicken again.

TRIGGERnometry

And by the way, there's a lot of stuff that can happen beyond nuclear weapons.

TRIGGERnometry

It doesn't need to have the same raw impact.

TRIGGERnometry

But if you can figure out how to send energy through the Earth and have it refocus at some other point so that you could vaporize something at a cell phone cord.

TRIGGERnometry
Is This The End of Humanity? - Eric Weinstein

And right now, we don't know how to do that, because the only thing that you can send through the Earth would be like neutrinos, which are hard to catch on the other side.

TRIGGERnometry
Is This The End of Humanity? - Eric Weinstein

You know, gravity waves.

TRIGGERnometry

You can't send photons through the Earth, particularly, or electrons.

TRIGGERnometry

But if you do further research in physics, you may be able to create all kinds of weapons that you can't possibly imagine, including time weapons.

TRIGGERnometry

That's not how I would phrase it.

TRIGGERnometry

We're just playing with fire.

TRIGGERnometry
Is This The End of Humanity? - Eric Weinstein

And we don't know what fire we're playing with.

TRIGGERnometry

So you can view it as America versus China.

TRIGGERnometry

By the way, don't sell DeepMind in the UK short.

TRIGGERnometry
Is This The End of Humanity? - Eric Weinstein

Figured out AlphaFold.

TRIGGERnometry
Is This The End of Humanity? - Eric Weinstein

Well done, gentlemen.

TRIGGERnometry
Is This The End of Humanity? - Eric Weinstein

We don't really know what this game is like.

TRIGGERnometry
Is This The End of Humanity? - Eric Weinstein

We don't know what it's about.

TRIGGERnometry
Is This The End of Humanity? - Eric Weinstein

We're playing it as if it was an old-style game.

TRIGGERnometry
Is This The End of Humanity? - Eric Weinstein

But DeepSeek migrated very quickly.
