they could actually use the heat signature of the chips that they're running on to sort of use that as an invisible communication protocol, meaning that I vary the heat of the chips as its own kind of invisible message or signal that humans would not be able to detect, but that other AIs would be able to detect.
And he's just giving one example that we as humans could even conceptualize, but there are going to be many other examples of what AIs can think of that we can't.
And the main point is there has never been a case in history where something far less intelligent is able to bind or control the behavior of something that is more intelligent.
And we are not going to beat China if we race to build a uncontrollable, more intelligent AI like a Skynet.
If we build Skynet before they do, we don't win.
We have to find a way to collaborate.
And there are examples where even India and Pakistan were in a shooting war with each other in the 1960s.
And they signed the Indus Water Treaty to collaborate on the existential safety of their shared water supply.
The Soviet Union and the US collaborated on distribution of smallpox vaccines in the middle of the smallpox epidemic.

Only Nixon could go to China.
And I think only Trump can can meet with Xi and make something happen.
And he's meeting with him, you know, in a couple of days.
Well, I mean, I think that there does need to be, first of all, you know, the government, when new technologies exist, the government is always waiting.
And you can't expect, you know, people who are out of touch with technology don't even use the technology to know how to regulate the technology.
