And that's gotten us the world that we're now living in.

So we'll get to AI, but basically the important lesson here is that

And kind of what motivates me with this movie is you kind of have two choices.

You either get a Chernobyl, which is a disaster from AI that then causes us to clamp down and to do something different.

Or you have enough basic clear-eyed wisdom and discernment and foresight, you know where this is going, that you can say, okay, let's actually create guardrails in advance of a catastrophe.

And so this film, The AI Doc, is really inspired by the history of the film The Day After from 1980.

82 or 83 about what would happen if there was nuclear war between the Soviet Union and the United States.

That film was the largest watched synchronous television event in human history.

It was primetime television.

It was Tuesday night, 7 p.m.

You probably watched it.

Yeah, that's right.

So Reagan watched it, I think, in the White House kind of viewing room or something.

And in his biography, he writes about getting depressed for several weeks after watching it because you're confronted with the possibility of annihilation of our species in a real way.

And it's important to know, it's not like we didn't know what nuclear war was.

Everyone knew what the atomic bomb looked like from the photos and videos of Hiroshima and all the nuclear tests.

It's not like people couldn't imagine it.

But there is a way that the actual consequences of continual escalation in nuclear wargaming

that we weren't really facing the visceral consequences of that.

It kind of sat in humanity's collective shadow, like our Jungian shadow.
