It's funny -- I believe Phillip Alvelda is a wonderful, new program manager for DARPA, and really has good things at his heart for his DARPA-hard BCI initiatives. He's playing a good and important and extremely useful role for DARPA, but I believe nonetheless that he's mistaken for this reason. I believe it's going to get away from him, even though I believe that he thinks, in his heart of hearts, that it's going to succeed. But I believe that AI will succeed brilliantly, even better than he would imagine, along with Neuralink and Kernel and a few others, and full AGI will be the next step in twenty to thirty years, and he is not wanted for that. It's so too bad, because he gives an amazing presentation and I would really like for him to succeed wonderfully at his task, but it's going to get away from even his reach. And DARPA always has the dark side, which they do not tell him about, the end-of-the-world side, the CIA-facing side. I am really unhappy, because I think he's a wonderful and brilliant scientist and teacher, but true AGI will flourish, and the human being is no longer needed.
