Okay.
And it's a question for humanity to say, are we going to wait for the moment where there are tens of thousands of nuclear weapons on the planet before we sign a treaty?
Or is it mathematically plausible to think that now that Iran could manage to fend off a challenge using drones that are AI-driven, basically, to destroy THAAD batteries and so on, that our world is about to get hundreds of thousands of automated drones that are going to rain on us everywhere in the world?
Can humanity not see that and say, hold on, let's sign the treaty now before the UK sends 12,000 weapons to Ukraine and, you know, and Russia responds with another few thousand?
And can we not calculate with mathematics that this is going to be our future, that AI is going to be used in the next four to five years to...
kill a lot of people, whether it's targeting by Israel of leadership that is against them, or whether it's, you know, drones by Iran, or whether it's Palantir.
It doesn't take a genius to do this mathematics.
It doesn't need to leave the server to make decisions.
It needs to get into your brain.
The most interesting part of AI's power that we don't understand is it's manipulating our information.
No, I can show you my phone.
And I think that's when people will go, okay.
Yeah, I wrote about that.
I called it the mad map spectrum.
So the mutually assured destruction, mutually assured prosperity spectrum.
That humanity could make a decision today that says with abundant intelligence, we can actually build a world where nobody needs anything.
Nobody ever gets sick.
Nobody abuses anyone.
And we can if we decide not to compete amongst ourselves and just, you know, all of us get together to build something so idealistically for the well-being of humanity at large.
But sadly, the only way we're going to get to a treaty, something that basically aligns us so that we can align with AI.
