take over entire continents just so we can get more supercomputer facilities in there and figure out how to cure cancer backwards.

And then you're like, wait, that's not what I wanted, right?

And the issue with capitalism and the issue with runaway AI have kind of merged now because the Moloch I talked about is exactly the capitalist Moloch that we have built an economy that is optimizing for only one thing, profit.

And that worked great back when things were very inefficient and then now it's getting done better.

And it worked great as long as the companies were small enough that they couldn't capture the regulators.

But that's not true anymore, but they keep optimizing.

And now they realize that these companies can make even more profit by building ever more powerful AI, even if it's reckless, but optimize more and more and more and more and more.

So this is Moloch again showing up.

And I just want to, anyone here who has any concerns about late stage capitalism having gone a little too far, you should worry about super intelligence because it's the same villain in both cases.

It's Moloch.

Yeah, we have to pause from time to time and look into our hearts and ask, why are we doing this?

Am I still going towards Austin or have I gone too far?

Maybe we should change direction.

We said six months because we figured the number one pushback we were gonna get in the West was like, but China,

And everybody knows there's no way that China is going to catch up with the West on this in six months.

So that argument goes off the table and you can forget about geopolitical competition and just focus on

The real issue.

That's why we put this.

That's what I think.

Yeah, it's going to get better and better and better, and then kaboom, we all lose.
