I'm not the person to design this, and I don't think we're doing it in a smart way.
I think what we're doing is that we're all playing chicken again.
And by the way, there's a lot of stuff that can happen beyond nuclear weapons.
It doesn't need to have the same raw impact.
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.
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.
You know, gravity waves.
You can't send photons through the Earth, particularly, or electrons.
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.
That's not how I would phrase it.
We're just playing with fire.
And we don't know what fire we're playing with.
So you can view it as America versus China.
By the way, don't sell DeepMind in the UK short.
Figured out AlphaFold.
Well done, gentlemen.
We don't really know what this game is like.
We don't know what it's about.
We're playing it as if it was an old-style game.
But DeepSeek migrated very quickly.
