Quote: "Matters. Matters, matters, matters, matters. Why? Matters. Why? Because in this cold war between the West and China. Artificial intelligence is the power mechanism behind the kill chain. It allows you to aggregate large data sets to find targets, to quantify the magnitude and importance of those targets, and then to link to the elements that can strike them. Now, people will tell you there's a human in the chain, but I'm afraid to say the one that takes a human out responds faster. So what we have is a perfect terminator scenario where AI now controls increasingly our weapon systems and that AI is inevitably going to become sentient. And the sentient will come from algorithmic computers and guaranteed to come with quantum computers. There's huge evidence that quantum computers are not much different from our brains. 'cause we found a thing called microtubules, which suggest our brain is a quantum mechanical exercise. So we are going to not create sentient creatures, which are similar to us, we've gained to give them the power to kill other human beings. Is it a sharp bleep for us to wonder how they view us? And seeing as we learn through destructive creation and we destroy each other to evolve and become more adaptive, they're gonna consider us a threat. So I'm afraid if you watch the full Terminator that we are on the timeline to that outcome. and there is one other part to it. Which is very important is I believe humanity has two versions living side by side. It has the ancestors of hunter-gatherers who are adaptive and other warrior genes and the creative leadership genes, and it has the agrarian who are more iterative and more predictable and more massive at 70%. And the trouble is all our systems work by rising with adaptation and lateral leadership and collapsing with linear leadership, which can't adapt fast enough. But what AI and robotics are going to do is they're going to replace 70% of the human gene pool. 'cause how do we make a difference? Our creativeness, our adaptiveness is the only thing which will rise above machine productivity. So we are looking at a fundamental shift in the way our human system is balanced if we survive the terminator scenario."
