haven't had this long you know now now we're we're so hooked on ai and we only had ai for a couple of years if ai were to go away now we we would we would probably yeah we'd survive but it would actually uh i think it would be difficult for a lot of uh a lot of bureaucracies now they become reliant on it we'd have to make adjustments again yeah i think you're right we're going to rely on rely on it and we rely on electricity maybe not yet if we pulled the plug now

Maybe not yet AI, but let's just say computers in general.

Electricity, that's Thomas Edison.

That's the 1880s.

Computers, we've only had for a couple of decades.

And imagine if we all lost all of our computers.

I mean, international trade would grind to a halt.

People would literally starve to death.

right so we we would have to adjust and go back to the analog days but that would not be easy and would take time so where every new advance we make we become completely dependent on and we have to reorganize our societies in order to keep those those advances um so therefore uh we don't really know how stable we are because we really haven't had a chance to have a stable we've created this artificial environment

that relies on a lot of moving parts.

I mean, look what's happened with the war with Iran.

You know, Strait of Hormuz gets closed.

20% of the world's oil and fertilizer and a lot of other things that we need for making products.

And if that continues to be shut off many parts of the world, it's just much worse.

So we have a very, we have a robust, on one hand, we have a powerful infrastructure, but it's quite fragile at the same time.

It's, you could even say brittle and, and there's no sure, um,

no surety that it will and it's permanent so thinking from an et point of view again so you have a visiting intelligence how hard would it be for them to see for them to know that our infrastructure probably is not really going to last very long and they're thinking there's really nothing we can do to help these people what if that's the case what if what if they're looking at our our world and they're thinking they are beyond help

unless we want to come in and lay down the law, create a totalitarian society and force humans.

But would that even work?

Like they might be thinking about this.
