“I do remember the time before 2075 when we had that funny concept called 'room temperature'. By room temperature they meant 22ºC, you know. Today, our room temperature is somewhat close to 35ºC in the best case. Do you have an idea of what that means in terms of mean-time between failure and reliability, and how this translates into increased operational costs? The minimal MTBF is only about a half of the maximal MTBF, which means that the climate conditions have a significant influence on the field reliability. Recall that the reliability of a product in field depends on operational conditions, use environment, and maintenance activities.”

“When they engage in splitting, that is, dividing large sums into several smaller transfers, criminal organizations manage to subvert threshold values. Banks simply cannot afford to subject every single transaction to detailed analysis if the respective value does not surpass the threshold value. Although transaction analysis helps identify certain tendencies and abnormalities, not every single transaction intended to finance terrorism can be flagged through this method. With terrorist financing, it can be significantly more difficult to find anything via transaction analysis than with money laundering. Even if you use a sophisticated AI system, it is a human who must make the final decision.”

“Semiconductors are integral both to everyday technologies and to the systems necessary for maintaining national security, so it is essential for us to secure access to advanced semiconductors.

China is the largest producer of silicon metal and supplies as much as 82% percent of world production.”

“It is the anarchist and nihilist groups that pose perhaps the greatest challenge to government action, because their strategy is non-sequential and non-political and their demands are non-negotiable, if they make any demands at all. We today face terrorist groups that form networks, rather than hierarchies or cells; These networks are transnational, amorphous and diffuse, and most of the time we find it difficult to distinguish them because they are deeply intertwined with our own networks. That's what happens when terrorism is AI-driven.”

“Our hospitals, for instance, require a new structural design to meet other requirements that may compromise thermal regulation. Heatwaves impair functionality of hospitals including medical equipment and storage of medicines. Our daily life today has nothing to do with that in the mid-21st century. We have poorly adapted equipment, structural design and care practices. We know this is part of our long agony and decline as a civilization. Hospital admissions for respiratory diseases today is 400% higher than it was in 2030. And what about coldwaves? Critical infrastructure is failing all around us. Transport systems collapse and are often disrupted by snow and ice, creating difficulties of access for patients needing to use health facilities and for domiciliary care staff in reaching their clients in their homes. Ambulance response times today are 250% lower than in 2025.”
