So clearly people are starting to realize

A, this all-out pursuit of a godlike AI technology is something that is probably a big long-term risk for humanity at large up there among the ranks of climate change.

So it's very fascinating to see which things start to creep up on people's minds, especially their long-term radars.

And then another fascinating...

Short-term risk, we're back to the short-term time horizon once more, is that misinformation and disinformation ranks as the number two biggest risk on people's mind because misinformation kind of undermines a lot of those bigger risks that we were describing.

It makes coordinated responses a lot harder.

If you want to fight climate change as a global, you know,

humanity, misinformation is one of those things that is going to make that harder to do.

It's going to block cooperation.

So especially when you have all these people in the same room, cooperation is going to be top of mind.

And that is why you're seeing disinformation in the age of social media, in the age of AI being one of those top of mind risks.

It's so funny, too, because if we go back to that risk report that I was describing, the conclusion that the World Economic Forum reached is that coalitions of the willing are essential.

So that is going to be the core tension.

The U.S.

brought its biggest delegation ever, but somehow they're going to have to form willing coalitions with other parts of the economy and other parts of the world.

I think that's going to be the main storyline.

Again, we're predicting because we're—

We'll be on the ground.

We'll tell you what the main storylines are, but that is on the surface what it might look like.

I agree.
