Here I see a tethering between the specificity of America — that we have a Constitution given to us by God, that we believe in higher principles, that we defend them if we need to with our own guns, with our own free speech, and with our own rights of privacy — and the specific things that create value in the world now, meaning specific knowledge of how to build something, how to target something, how to protect data, how to be a nurse or a doctor. One of the reasons we are in a kind of a “doom AI circle” is because you can only explain the promise of AI if you understand and embrace the superiority of America and its culture. Because again, if we are not the ones controlling the violence, we will not be dictating the rule of law, the things we hold precious in this culture — I would say embodied by our Constitution and especially in our first four amendments — those things will not be the same if we are not the dominant technological culture in the world.
