nato allies do you know just a select few allies of ours get get access and their citizens get access if we think about how powerful a lot of people think ai is going to be and the power of the government to either give or restrict access on a country by country basis or a citizen by citizen basis it gets pretty freaky from a from a like a macro and geopolitical standpoint because

Imagine if you have the economic implications of the United States and China having access to superintelligence and Greece not having it.

That's just like a random country.

What do the Greeks do to you, dude?

Or Argentina, or Brazil, or Ghana.

He had a dodgy holiday in Athens.

The fucking Greeks.

But any of these, if you only have two countries that have super intelligence and everyone else is metered or gated, it makes a lot more sense why people are starting to take the idea of sovereign AI much more seriously.

The only issue is that none of these sovereign AI plays have amounted to anything.

I think in general, it's a Rubicon moment, and I think we're going to know a lot more in six or 12 months than we do now about how important this moment in time was.

This is a bit of a tangent, but I think it's related in that if you talk to some smart people in AI, they will tell you actually with the right harness and the right amount of test time compute, you can use open models to find all of the vulnerabilities that Fable can find.

And so actually, this is sort of a nothing burger because you can actually replicate this with non-mythos level models.

I think, again, like the legibility of AI to the administration.

I mean, hell, the legibility of AI to a lot of people in Silicon Valley, it's just such a fast moving field that if you're not inside one of the labs, you know, it's hard to just keep up with everything that's happening all the time.

Now, you know, now think about D.C.

and the average age of someone in the administration or a lawmaker in Congress or the Senate.

The legibility of these things is very hard.

So I do think that by saying like, hey, you know, by pounding their chest and saying where we've created this God model that's very dangerous.

Anthropocene has painted a target on its back.

I'd say this like the flip, the inverse of this whole thing.
