And it's the rules that we place around competition to say, hey, don't do that too fast because then you might damage something.
okay, when we make new inventions, where is most of our energy concentrated?
It's on the extraction side.
And this is why these things get completely out of whack.
And a good example is actually car safety.
When cars began, the companies that were making cars were not that excited about spending energy on safety, spending resources and time on doing that.
But what happens is you're able to eventually build common ground, build public pressure and say, look, traffic deaths aren't acceptable.
And there was this cultural shift.
And then you combine that with getting the power players at the table.
So the automakers, the insurers, the regulators, etc.
you create incentives and penalties.
So you say, when you do the right thing, you get rewarded.
When you do the wrong thing, you get penalized.
And then you figure out things like DMVs and traffic codes, and you update those as the tech changes.
So this is kind of inspiration for what we need to do.
A harder version of this, but it's something like this for AI.
So this is the principle most directly tied to what people are already feeling.
And when you wonder why is there such a strong anti-AI current building out there right now, students are booing AI at commencement speeches.
Communities are organizing against data centers.
That is simply not true.
