I think autonomous weapons are the biggest risk.
I think war has become so cheap.
The next wave of weapons is going to be $20,000 each.
And so if you have a budget of $50 billion, you can literally rain drones on the world, every corner of it.
Defense will get cheaper though, won't it, as well?
Correct.
But do we want to live in a world where drones are hitting each other all the time?
But they might not be because there might be autonomous defense drones.
Deterrence.
So what's going to happen is we're going to reach a moment of mad, of mutually assured destruction, where basically everyone knows that we can overpower those little nations that didn't develop their autonomous weapon army, but every other big nation, we might as well hold off now.
The path to get there, that to me is worse than jobs because from one side, it's very dangerous for a very sensitive world that we live in today.
And from the other side, it's leading already.
I mean, we can't ignore the economic impact of this last war, right?
And it's the economy that's going to accelerate everything, not AI getting there.
We are in mutually assured destruction of nuclear weapons is a statement that I would have agreed to if Iran had a nuclear weapon and that would have stopped America from attacking Iran.
You understand what that point means?
It means that not every nation in the world has a nuclear weapon.
The mad situation, the mutually assured destruction situation is only among nuclear players, right?
Autonomous weapons are...
are so cheap, so manageable, that every nation in the world is developing them as we speak.
