Because humanity's stupidity is affecting people who have not done anything wrong. our greed is affecting the innocent ones. The reality of the matter, Stephen, is that this is an arms race, has no interest in what the average human gets out of it. It is all about every line of code being written in AI today is to beat the other guy. It's not to improve the life of the third party.

people will tell you this is all for you. And you look at the reactions of humans to AI. I mean, we're either ignorant, people who will tell you, oh, no, no, this is not happening. AI will never be creative. They will never compose music. Like, where are you living? Okay. Then you have the kids, I call them, where, you know, all over social media, it's like, oh, my God, it squeaks. Look at it.

It's orange in color. Amazing. I can't believe that AI can do this. We have snake oil salesmen. which are simply saying, copy this, put it in ChatGPT, then go to YouTube, nick that thingy, don't respect copyright of anyone or intellectual property of anyone, place it in a video, and now you're going to make $100 a day. Snake oil salesman.

Of course, we have dystopian evangelists, basically people saying, this is it, the world is gonna end, which I don't think is reality, it's a singularity. You have utopian evangelists that are telling everyone, oh, you don't understand, we're gonna cure cancer, we're gonna do this. Again, not a reality. And you have very few people that are actually saying, what are we gonna do about it?

And the biggest challenge, if you ask me, what went wrong in the 20th century? Interestingly, is that we have given too much power to people that didn't assume the responsibility. So, you know, I don't remember who originally said it, but of course, Spider-Man made it very famous. With great power comes great responsibility. We have disconnected power and responsibility.

So today, a 15-year-old, emotional, without a fully developed prefrontal cortex to make the right decisions yet, this is science. We developed our prefrontal cortex fully at age 25 or so. with all of that limbic system, emotion and passion, would buy a crisper kit and modify a rabbit to become a little more muscular and let it loose in the wild. Or an influencer who doesn't really know how far

the impact of what they're posting online can hurt or cause depression or cause people to feel bad. And putting that online, there is a disconnect between the power and the responsibility. And the problem we have today is that there is a disconnect between those who are writing the code of AI and the responsibility of what's about to happen because of that code.

And I feel compassion for the rest of the world. I feel that this is wrong. I feel that, you know, for someone's life to be affected by the actions of others without having a say in how those actions should be is the ultimate, the top level of stupidity from humanity.
