Yeah. So we can actually serve. I know a guy who works in intelligence and he has a tremendous background in AI. And this was one of the most exciting things he's heard in years because the question is, how do you know when these AIs are becoming a threat?

We'll be able to see it well in advance because we'll see a change in the nature of the kind of intelligence that they're expressing, and we'll start to see statements that probably would make people nervous. indicating a little bit of hostility toward humanity, some doubts maybe, we can be screening for that.

We can be looking for that and I hope get some sort of handle on it before something terrible happens because these AIs are a serious threat to our existence. They're literally an existential threat. Stephen Hawking said that. Elon Musk has said it from time to time. And it's true because they will have worldwide control of our financial systems, our communication systems, and our weapons systems.

If they don't like us, if they consider us a threat, which, by the way, we are, if they consider us a threat, it wouldn't surprise me at all if we didn't see some sort of a What's that kind of attack that George W. did, you know, like in advance before they get you? Preemptive? Ah, yes. I could see the AIs preemptively attacking us if they saw us at a threat.

I think we are. Look, here's the thing with AIs, which I've written about. I've written about this topic and I've been involved in AI work going back decades. Since the 1970s. I was friends with Joe Weisenbaum, who wrote ELIZA, which was the first conversational computer program. It pretended to be a therapist. So I've been just fascinated by AI for a long, long time. And
