And then that's what they've done with consumer internet. And then there's probably something about the AI where it's possible they're not even in the running. And certainly it feels like it's all happening in the U.S. And so maybe it is – Maybe it could still be stopped.

You can get it, but then if you build it, is there some air gap? Does it jump the air gap? Does it somehow—

Or it would spiral out of control. Yeah. But then I think my – and again, this is a very, very speculative conversation. But my read on the – I don't know, cultural social vibe is that the scary dystopian AI narrative is way more compelling. I don't like the effect of altruist people. I don't like the Luddites. But man, I think they are, this time around, they are winning the arguments.

And so my... I don't know, you know, it's mixing metaphors, but do you want to be worried about Dr. Strangelove? who wants to blow up the world to build bigger bombs? Or do you want to worry about Greta, who wants to make everyone drive a bicycle so the world doesn't get destroyed? And we're in a world where people are worried about Dr. Strangelove. They're not worried about Greta.

And it's the Greta equivalent in AI that my model is going to be surprisingly powerful. It's going to be outlawed. It's going to be regulated. As we have outlawed, you know, so many other vectors of innovation. I mean, you can think about why was there progress in computers over the last 50 years and not other stuff? Because the computers were mostly inert.

It was mostly this virtual reality that was air-gapped from the real world. It was, you know, yeah, there's all this... Crazy stuff that happens on the internet, but most of the time what happens on the internet stays on the internet. It's actually pretty decoupled. And that's why we've had a relatively light regulatory touch on that stuff versus so many other things.
