n the simulation. One explanation is oh it's just a coincidence. The other explanation is well stories about bike accidents were always out there, you just didn't notice until you were primed for it. Or number three, I caused it to happen. Not only did I cause the accident but I caused the news story about the topic. So that's how I experience life. Like I just caused it. I don't know if it's true…

All we have is this old model which just makes your search engine and your organization of data really, really cool and it can talk to you better. So it's like Siri plus. It's like a better Siri basically.
So I would like to submit that the AI that you're worried about is the one that hasn't been invented and nobody knows how to invent it. Should you be worried about things that haven't been invented and nobody knows even the first part of how to make it? That would be everything.

convince people you are one, right? It's not like it's a government licensed role. So why not have like hundreds of them until they're all useless? You know the problem with the old search engine before AI is that if I Googled anything the problem wasn't that I would get no results. The problem is I'd get too many and they'd all be all over the place. It'd be like go into the library and look thr…
