So it can just point itself at GitHub.

GitHub being?

GitHub being like this platform.

this website that hosts basically all the open source code of the world.

So it's kind of like the Wikipedia for coders.

It has all the code that's ever been written that's publicly and openly accessible, and you can download it.

So you don't have to write your own face recognition system.

You can just download the one that already exists.

And so GitHub is sort of supplying the world with all of this free digital infrastructure.

And the new AIs that exist today can be pointed at GitHub and found 15 vulnerabilities from scratch that had not been exploited before.

So if you imagine that now applied to the code that runs our water infrastructure, our electricity infrastructure, we're releasing AI into the world that can speak and hack the operating system of our world.

And that requires a new level of discernment and care about how we're doing that because we ought to be protecting the core parts of society that we want to protect before all that happens.

And you generally speaking, you trust when you pick up the phone that it's a real person.

I literally just two days ago, I had the mother of a close friend of mine call me out of nowhere.

And she said, Tristan, you know, my daughter, she just called me crying that some person is holding her hostage and wanted some money.

And I was like, oh, my God, this is an AI scam.

But it's hitting my friend in San Francisco who's

knowledgeable about this stuff and didn't know that it was a scam.

And for a moment, I was very concerned and I had to track her down and figure out and find my friends where she was and find out that she was okay.

And when you have AIs that can speak the language of anybody, it now takes less than three seconds of your voice to synthesize and speak in anyone's voice.
