While space projects are more like the Peacock's tail (flamboyant displays, a theme we will return to later in the book), bombs are more like poison indicators (such as colors black red and yellow in snakes).

AI is actually powerful. As Elon puts it, with AI, you are summoning a demon.

Comparing AI with space projects could be beneficial on some dimensions, but it seems to me that comparison with bombs and other military technology, that are more like the ability to poison or summon demons, should take evidential precedence.
