Yeah. Yeah. 231 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:17,880 So, yeah, that's that's my two cents. 232 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,960 And I want to be very, Scott, agree 100 percent with you. 233 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:25,080 I'm not saying the uselessness of the measure 234 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,840 means we should ignore the fact that it's possible. 235 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,080 It is absolutely possible. 236 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:34,800 As a matter of fact, I would argue possible isn't the right word. 237 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,120 I think the word should be likely, right? 238 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:41,920 Whether it's directly due to the AI system going like, 239 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,080 hey, wait, these humans suck, let's wipe them out. 240 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:49,160 Or it's just because we've moved to something 241 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,200 that either people are making decisions based 242 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:56,640 on what AI systems are doing or we're allowing AI systems 243 00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:00,360 to control things and making judgment calls 244 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:04,880 based on incorrect information, but we're making them at speed. 245 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:06,720 Right. Because that's that's the thing. 246 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,960 Look, I'm dull, but I can only be dumb so fast. 247 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:15,720 Right. AI could be dumb just like me way faster. 248 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:20,240 And if I take my level of dumb and combine it with the speed 249 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,480 of AI giving me more dumb, we have an issue. 250 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:27,920 So yeah, I totally think it is possible 251 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:32,600 and likely that we, even if we don't wipe out humanity, right? 252 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:38,040 The idea that we cause significant harm 253 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:42,000 directly due to the usage of AI, not 254 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,080 data centers sucking up all the waters and stuff like that. 255 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,480 But directly from the usage of AI, I took AI 256 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:52,520 and hosted up to this nuclear power plant and it went right in the meltdown. 257 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,280 Or it's even less obvious than that. 258 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:59,160 I think, you know, that method I said of getting to a distributed operation. 259 00:12:59,680 --> 00:13:03,000 What about what about the botnets that have taken over all the old routers? 260 00:13:03,680 --> 00:13:04,880 Right. Hmm. 261 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,400 Isn't that a logical way that they might go, right? 262 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,360 Rather than first attacking a nuclear reactor? 263 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:13,480 Well, I'm not saying attacking a nuclear reactor. 264 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:17,240 I'm saying we give it control to the nuclear reactor and it makes a mistake. 265 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:18,720 Yeah. Oh, I see. Yeah. Yeah. 266 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,400 Yeah. Accidentally, I guess I'm more of a realist 267 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,720 that like we don't need AI to destroy humanity. 268 00:13:25,720
