And I'm like, oh, right.

That could, even if it just buys you four months, that could be the difference of being the first to hit AGI.

And then that's everything.

it's this sounds like a absolute movie scene yeah and um maybe he was making it up but it sounded yeah kind of like at that point and i've heard this like at new zealand because like they have everything you need to self-produce and there's all these reasons why it makes sense but it's like if like if that's what things have devolved to it's like i'm good like i had we had a great run like you know hands up and put some more fucking crunch lab stuff together yeah well just like

If we're in a world where just like everyone is like killing each other and it's just like total apocalypse.

Like, do you, what are you looking to survive for?

Like you come out of that bunker.

Right.

Right.

Well, it's also like even with the AI, where for the first time in human history, generally the more money you made, it equated to the more employees you have.

As you made more money, you would hire more people so you could do more stuff.

And now for the first time, not only are they decoupled, but there's almost an inverse relationship where you could save a ton of money if you lay off all these people, and now your profit's going to go way up.

And the question then becomes, are these CEOs and I've

been in circles where people have told me about this, where they're like, this is awesome, we're going to do all this, but then quickly they realize, like, but who's going to buy our thing?

Because no one's going to have money because no one's going to be employed, right?

Well, this is, I think one of the most plausible, you know, are you familiar with Fermi's paradox?

So it's like of all the nine reasons there could be the one I've always kind of, and feels more and more plausible is just like, by the time you develop, uh,

the energy to use and the technology to go to other solar systems, you've developed that, you've harnessed a lot of energy that then you could use against yourself or other people.

You have to assume life is always going to be competitive if it's evolving in other spots.

So there's going to be competition built in and it's just a glass ceiling in civilizations.
