But, again, these stories are all, like, very speculative. Sure. Like, maybe, you know, the counterargument might be something like, that's what China thinks it will be doing, but it will somehow, you know... Go rogue. Go rogue on them. Yeah. Or they're too arrogant about how much power they think the CCP has, and it will go rogue. So there are sort of... I'm not at all sure this is right.

But I think the... Man, I think the U.S., The U.S. one, I would say, is that I think the pro-AI people in Silicon Valley are doing a pretty... bad job on, let's say, convincing people that it's going to be good for them, that it's going to be good for the average person, it's going to be good for our society.

If that's the most positive story you can tell, then I don't think that necessarily means we're going to go to the glue factory. I think it means the glue factory is getting shut down.

The part that – look, there are all these places where there are parts of the story we don't know. Right. And so it's like how did – My general thesis is there is no evolutionary path to this. Maybe there's a guided outside alien superintelligence path for us to become superhuman and fundamentally benevolent and fundamentally radically different beings.

But there's no natural evolutionary path for this to happen. And then I don't know how this would have happened for the alien civilization.
