Those seem pretty bad.
Sayash, what about you?
Actually, this is another thing we were just talking about backstage.
I mean, I was surprised to hear that we disagree far more, or like I'm far more concerned about military uses of AI than Daniel is.
I mean, it's on the list.
It's just... Perhaps, yeah.
But I mean, like, as you both know, in the essay, we explicitly carved out military air because we felt like we weren't the right people to comment on it.
And, you know, people who are experts on this, like Michael Horowitz, have used our frame to argue that military air, at least today, is a normal technology in his view as well.
But frankly, the actions that are being taken by countries worldwide, by nation states, are pretty, pretty, pretty alarming.
I mean, I think we shouldn't take it for granted that companies or countries can use kill bots.
And that is not something that requires further technological investment either.
It's not something where we have any technical bottlenecks we can use like off-the-shelf computer vision libraries to basically build killer robots today.
It is actually something where we need to exercise a lot of agency.
And I'm not really positive about where things are going right now on that front.
Thank you.
Fascinating.
