It's just physically not been possible for somebody to be looking at every single bank transaction, to be looking at every single CCTV camera, to be able to cross-reference all of those things.

If you have AI that can do that, it is within the government's power very easily to be able to monitor every single thing that's happening.

And then the only solution then is a political expectation that the government should not do this.

And basically, people need to be talking about this.

People need to be saying this should not be okay for the government to do.

I don't know if you saw the news over the last month, but there was a spat between the Department of War and this AI company, Anthropic, where...

The Department of War were saying, we don't want any red lines around the use of these models when we're using them in military.

And the anthropic said, we're only selling you these models if we can say in the contract, hey, you're not allowed to use it for mass surveillance.

And so the Department of War said, okay, if you're totally okay for the Department of War to say, look, we're not going to do business with you.

We can't have red lines on software the government uses.

Instead, the Department of War said, we are going to say that you're a supply chain risk.

which is this authority that Congress gave the Department of War to basically ban Huawei devices from being used in missiles or whatever.

And instead, the Department of War is saying, okay, none of our contractors, so Amazon is a contractor of the Department of War, NVIDIA, Google, et cetera, can use your AI in any work they do for us.

And the initial goal is really just to do something to kill the company.

And so this is the kind of leverage that the government can apply on AI companies to say like, hey, if you don't help us with mass surveillance, if you don't help us do scary things, this will be a bigger issue in the future.

Then we can just try to destroy your company.

And so, yeah, that's also a really scary dynamic that the government has this power over private companies.

And it's scary that private companies can do this themselves.

I don't worry so much that there will not be demand for all the things that AI is building.

I think at the end of the day, AI can consume the things that AI is building.
