But I think there's real work to be done with these kind of discussions of what to do to our character.
The human...
hardware has evolved over 100,000 years and all 100,000 years of it have been infused with hardship.
So there is something, I think really profound to what you're saying is how do you have those experiences?
So at 40, I almost died.
I had a very bad bike accident.
It was real close.
And just two years ago, my wife had a massive brain tumor
Like, and, and, and, you know, massive surgery and then was able to like, we got the best healthcare and is able to recover and is back.
She's like 95%.
She's doing amazing.
And like, so, you know, those experiences, you know, they could have made you kind of cynical or whatever.
I kind of chose the glass half full.
And for me, those were carpe diem moments of like, Hey, I really value this.
because like you know 40 was too young yeah you can just lose everything and but that's how long you used to live you know not too many generations ago so we kind of take it for granted hey you know you don't live to 40 or 50 live to 80 and you know what about 120 like so i i don't know uh you know we may get to a point where we wish we weren't there uh but uh i'm too curious to to not take a look i mean the greenland
So the cautionary note is that maybe AI is going to tell us things, but more likely it's humans using AI to tell us things and manipulate them maybe for their agenda.
And so that's a little bit of the rich set of themes of the dystopian versions that I think we need to be nervous about.
And how does that play out?
And so we have to get a little bit better at electing people that can be entrusted with the ever-increasing power of that technology.
And so we're building this machine.
