I do think giving humanoid robots the ability to be able to serve the Department of War is a good thing.
Pierce, thanks for having me.
Well, just to clarify, we're building humanoid robots to do a lot of heavy industrial work.
So defense is a component of that, not the absolute only thing that we want to do.
I do think giving humanoid robots ability to be able to serve the Department of War and productive militaries around the world is a good thing because they will need to overall just...
reduction of collateral damage, which is what's happened even with drones.
If you have the intention of not annihilating a city, now you have the capability of doing it.
And land-based autonomy would, by and large, do the same.
Now, to your question of open AI,
The risks around AI and how much they're evaled, how can they be safeguarded are quite real.
But the kind of AI that we're talking about today, by and large, is still quite benign.
So at the most, in its most absolute form, it can maybe cause a cyber attack, but it cannot destroy humanity.
So it cannot go and somehow invent nuclear weapons and then create total havoc.
Also, even if you take a artificial superintelligence to that extreme, there doesn't seem to be a reason for it to do that either.
So I do think some of the fears around AI just being widespread annihilation of humanity or bringing widespread annihilation of humanity are quite overblown.
I do think, however, there
there pretty much will be a dark age.
Every single industrial revolution has created a lot of discomfort.
Industrial revolution one created discomfort for 60 years, two about 30 years, three for about 20 years.
So I think there's going to be a 10, 15, 20 year period where AI technologies, they're very disruptive.
