Real Coffee with Scott Adams
Episode 3108 - The Scott Adams School 03/05/26

And that's been at least a gentleman's agreement in pretty much every war since then.

Real Coffee with Scott Adams
Episode 3108 - The Scott Adams School 03/05/26

And it's considered breaking the rules of war, even though you could debate whether there are such a thing, but that you're not supposed to go after civilians, right?

Every time there is a hospital or a school or somebody that wasn't having any military connection, that's considered wrong in wartime.

So this, I think, is at least on the borderline there.

Real Coffee with Scott Adams
Episode 3108 - The Scott Adams School 03/05/26

I mean, you could certainly make an argument from their perspective that if they're housing government workloads, then maybe they're doing some sort of military processing that's supporting the effort.

But again, it's not a military facility, and it's more of a generalized compute facility that lots of people use.

Real Coffee with Scott Adams
Episode 3108 - The Scott Adams School 03/05/26

And so I would question whether that kind of crosses the line.

But I do have another story on Jeff Bezos, not related to the war, but apparently they are raising billions of dollars to buy manufacturers that are being disrupted by AI.

Real Coffee with Scott Adams
Episode 3108 - The Scott Adams School 03/05/26

Um, so, uh, he's got something called an AI lab called project Prometheus.

Real Coffee with Scott Adams
Episode 3108 - The Scott Adams School 03/05/26

Um, he's going to be transforming manufacturing for jet engines, chips, things like that.

Real Coffee with Scott Adams
Episode 3108 - The Scott Adams School 03/05/26

He's talking to people like Jamie diamond and Abu Dhabi to raise funds for it.

And it looks like for some of these companies that have had their stock price reduced a lot because people think AI is going to disrupt their business.

Real Coffee with Scott Adams
Episode 3108 - The Scott Adams School 03/05/26

Jeff Bezos is looking into swooping and buy them up.

Real Coffee with Scott Adams
Episode 3108 - The Scott Adams School 03/05/26

I don't know.

Real Coffee with Scott Adams
Episode 3108 - The Scott Adams School 03/05/26

I mean, to me, it might be a smart move.

Real Coffee with Scott Adams
Episode 3108 - The Scott Adams School 03/05/26

It's also something I would not applaud if I were saying, you know, I don't want these smaller companies to become bigger companies or for Amazon's empire to keep getting bigger.

Real Coffee with Scott Adams
Episode 3108 - The Scott Adams School 03/05/26

But I mean, technically, this isn't Amazon, but it is Jeff Bezos.

Real Coffee with Scott Adams
Episode 3108 - The Scott Adams School 03/05/26

So, you know, if he buys a company, it's probably kind of the same thing.

Real Coffee with Scott Adams
Episode 3108 - The Scott Adams School 03/05/26

Well, I think...

I still think we have a ways to go with drone defense and even with lasers.
