And you see all of that happening in the world right now, all over the place.

And, you know, you wonder – I'm going to circle this back to AI for a second.

The thing that will –

The thing that the proponents of artificial superintelligence always say is, well, we'll manage the alignment problem.

We'll align AI to our common good as human beings.

But we can't agree on a damn thing.

We can't agree on what's right and wrong, what's ethical, what's moral.

A Republican's idea of that is very different from a Democrat's, a Muslim, a Christian, a Hindu, a Shintoist, whatever it is.

Everybody's got a different opinion.

And we can't agree on anything.

So how are we going to suddenly form this wonderful moral consensus so we can teach it to something smarter than us that we can't control?

I mean, if that's not the biggest recipe for disaster I've ever heard in my life, what is?

Now I am a science fiction fan and it always goes into the darkest possible scenario because that's where science fiction goes because it's meant to be a warning to us about possible futures.

But okay, we're living in a science fiction world right now.

So I look at you, I look into your eyes, I see your kind of soulfulness and your enlightenment and what all the things that you do and why you do it.

And I think, all right, that's why we're going to make it because there are people who are practitioners of empathy.

and connection, and they're out there, and they are legion.

They just don't ever seem to get into positions of power where it really makes a big difference.

It just seems like all the wrong people elevate.

I don't know how you feel about that, and I don't know if that keeps you up at night.
