And the real security threat in America right now is how many Americans are asleep at the wheel in the midst of the AI revolution. And DeepSeek actually is waking us up. So it's improving American national security from my point of view. It doesn't mean it will be doing that forever. But we need to actually listen to China more than what we're doing now.

Most people do not understand how good current AI systems are and how rapidly they have the potential to improve. That will change over time our entire society. It also has major implications for national security. When GPT-4 came out, it was days and days until it was mentioned in the New York Times. Journalists are wary of AI. They don't understand it very well.

Well, they're wary of all new technology. Correct. And I think we're simply at a point where most people, they enjoy their chat GPT. It's fun to talk to it. You can help it name your dog or something. But they don't actually understand what the stakes are. And DeepSeek, by being so popular, you know, it was the number one download in the App Store last week. It's at least helping spread awareness.

And in an open society, you know, if we have higher awareness and we're still the country that by far attracts the immigrants who are going to do a lot of the creative work on future AI, I think we can win this battle, but we need to not be asleep.

Well, I think of both Americans and Chinese as somewhat provincial, inward-looking, large countries that are relatively poor at dealing with the rest of the world. We're seeing this now in both places. And China is a country we could learn a lot from. They can still learn a great deal from us. They may or may not do that.

But we have the option of waking up and learning an incredible amount from them, not just on deep seek and infrastructure, but in many, many different areas of life, including the incredible number of first-rate students they produce. A lot of American AI is built by ethnic Chinese, right? Well, how'd that come to pass? What can we learn from that? So we need to prepare and be ready.

And that does not mean closing off to China.
