And it’s probably correct, but to put it in context, Stephen Hawking thought AGI was the greatest threat we will face in the not-to-distant future, and Daniel Schmachtenberger had pointed out that all the countries basically agree with this assessment, but (to synthesize both of our points), everyone is rushing to a future we nobody wants because it’s a 21st century tragedy of the Commons, is we don’t do it someone else will first…
