Yeah.

And then humans will be involved in that.

And then if that escalates, you get nuclear weapons pointed at each other.

It's a narrow boundary analysis on whereas this machine, you could have put a human at risk.

Now there's no human at risk because there's no human who's firing the weapon.

It's a machine firing the weapon.

That's a narrow boundary analysis without looking at the holistic effects on how it would actually happen.

Which we're bad at.

Which is exactly what we have to get good at.

AI is like a rite of passage.

It's an initiatory experience because if we run the old logic of having a narrow boundary analysis, this is going to replace these jobs that people didn't want to do.

Sounds like a great plan.

But creating mass joblessness without a transition plan where a billion people won't be able to put food on the table.

AI is forcing us to not make this mistake of this narrow analysis.

What got us here is everybody racing for the narrow optimization for GDP at the cost of social mobility and mass sort of joblessness and people not being able to get a home because we aggregated all the wealth in one place.

It was optimizing for a narrow metric.

What got us to the social media problems is everybody optimizing for a narrow metric of eyeballs at the expense of democracy and kids' mental health and addiction and loneliness and no one –

Knowing it, you know, being able to know anything.

And so AI is inviting us to step out of the previous narrow blind spots that we have come with and the previous competitive logic that has been narrowly defined that you can't keep running when it's supercharged by AI.

So you could say, I mean, this is an optimistic take because AI is inviting us to be the wisest version of ourselves.
