When basically we need to actually really focus on. Now, let's say there's some actors are earnest, right? Let's say Yudikowsky is being earnest, right? And he really cares, but he loves it. It goes, and then you're all going to die. It's like, you know, why don't we try and do the same thing and say, you could do this and then you're going to be happy forever after. Yeah.

I understand that. And I kind of, I guess, I mean, I'm involved in the whole hype cycle. I would like us to... I don't want us to... So what's happening right now is there seems to be... So let me just say... Having some people saying AI doom is a worry, fine, let's give them that.

But what seems to be happening is there seems to be people who don't think AI is doing that, trying to use that to control regulation and to push people to regulate, which stops humans generating knowledge. And I am an advocate for generating as much knowledge as possible. Mm-hmm.

When it comes to nuclear weapons, I grew up in the 70s and 80s where nuclear doom... A lot of adults really had existential threat. Almost as bad as now with AI doom. They were really worried, right? There were some great... Well, not great. There were some horrific documentaries. I think there was one called Fred's that was generated in the UK, which was terrible. It was so scary.

And I think that... The correct thing to do is obviously get rid of nuclear weapons, but let's think about unintended consequences. We've got rid of all the sulfur particles in the atmosphere, right, or the soot. And what's happened in the last couple of years is global warming has accelerated because we've cleaned up the atmosphere too much. Sure.
