The Silicon Valley that we know today did not exist in the same way in the 1950s to the 80s. It was a site of military testing for semiconductors to try to create the most cutting edge technology that then we could use in our tech.

Guys like Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, the people who invented the Internet and so forth, a lot of them would not have been able to execute their vision, which was moving towards technological change to the miniaturization of technology and PCs without the innovations that had come before that through government funding, through government support. And, you know, just imagine a world today.

So we're now in Cold War II, as Niall is saying. Imagine if in Cold War I we had all this fantastic technology that was going to win the war, And we signed a free trade agreement with the Soviet Union and just gave it all to them and said, here's our tech. We're giving it to you. Use it well. This is free trade. We're going to help each other. We're going to coexist.

That would have been devastation because they would have been able to unleash all kinds of things that would compete with us, that would guarantee potentially their victory. We're now in a really unusual stage in human history. I has just been unprecedented in our age today, the last 30 years. We've just seen so much in the period that we live in.

But now we're at a stage where we're handing a hostile authoritarian government cutting edge technology that they intend to use against us, that they intend to use to dominate the global order. And that's a very dangerous situation to be in.

Well, the big question that everyone is asking is, will we be able to reach what is called a general AI or an AI that's able to essentially think and switch between tasks similar to how the human mind might take care of things? So this would be an AI that could, you know, at the same time, surveil you, gather data on you, and then go to, you know, generative mode and then go to

do this and that, make your dishes, run a tank. General AI is something that can do just about anything in theory, but it's not totally clear yet whether we're ever going to reach that stage of AI that is so all powerful. What I think victory looks like, if it is possible to reach that stage, victory will be whoever hits general AI. And if China is able to reach that stage before the United States
