tomorrow. Could be in 20 years. But the climate models there's not a chance there's not even the slightest chance that those are real. So we'll see.

Anyway Google's ex-Google CEO Eric Schmidt has warned that China technology is pulling ahead and David Sacks writing about this on X saying that they're doing better on AI. Part of the problem is that apparently in the US we've got something called some kind of AI diffusion rule. It's 200 pages of regulations that hinder the adoption of American technology even by close partners. Now I don't know the details of that but it sounds like the US has crippled itself so that it can't compete with China and that that's a big deal.

Now since the smart people seem to know about it I mean Sacks has a big voice in the administration he knows about it. Maybe we're doing something about it. He says that Trump is committed to rescinding 10 regulations for every new one. And if the US doesn't embrace this same concept for AI we're going to lose the AI race which would mean losing everything. So we'll see if that goes in the right direction.

As you know Putin was doing his victory day celebrations over there and I was wondering if any Ukrainian drones were going to go that way. Well I guess they sent one that struck a government building but didn't cause any death or too much damage. But I guess the Ukrainians just couldn't resist so they sent one little drone to blow up nothing important.

According to Interesting Engineering France plans to have an all-robot army by 2040. But they'll have combat robots by 2027. How would you feel if you got drafted into a military that was mostly robots but they needed some humans? Because if robots fight robots which is where it's heading obviously if robots fight robots what happens when one of the robot teams wins? Because they don't really need to go kill any civilians right? Because they would have destroyed all the robot military so there wouldn't be any resistance. So there's not really any reason to kill the civilians. So doesn't it look like we're heading exactly for the original Star Trek's vision of war?

I tell you when I was a little kid I remember seeing that episode and I'll describe it in a moment. And I never forgot it. It was like one of the most disturbingly prophetic future worlds. And the idea was that instead of having real wars there was a planet maybe a few planets they would have these simulated wars where they would look at the assets and the military capability of each side and then they would put it in a computer and they would say all right if this is the war this is the side that would win. And then the losing team would basically volunteer to get killed by some machine that would do it quickly and painlessly and they would just line up to be killed because their side had lost so at least they'd make it painless. And it was just so disturbing. And I thought to myself is it going to be some version of that where if the robots of one big country beat the robots of the other and presumably they could hunt down and kill every single robot of the other side if they were the dominant side? What would you do with the humans? Would you kill them because you could? Or would the humans say we don't surrender? And maybe they wouldn't. Maybe you'd have to. I don't know. So we'll see.

But robot armies are going to be more than just the war. There's going to be a whole difference in what war is and how we think about it and the psychology of it and e
