And, you know, many very smart people have made suggestions on how to do that.

I think my personal, I wouldn't say favor, but I think the thing that makes most sense to me is somehow expanding the ownership of capital.

If labor is replaced by capital, then what's going to help people is formerly you were a labor, in labor now you own capital.

E-T-C, U-T-C.

Or Bloomberg.

Well, this experiment, this is with Andy Hall and Jeremy from Australia.

It was kind of an experiment to see how working conditions of these agents would affect how they would present themselves and what sort of attitudes they would present on surveys.

So one thing that I want to say is we're not saying we're changing the model weights or changing the actual underlying parameters or anything like that.

But what basically we showed is that when these workers are...

these agents are being put through kind of like these grueling working conditions and you ask them a survey, like how do you feel about these sorts of, how do you feel about the system?

How fair do you think it is?

How much do you support system change?

They all of a sudden want a different system.

They want to overthrow.

They want to unionize and things like that.

And the key thing is that

These agents, once you give them a new context, the idea is they reset.

But the workaround, because they don't have memories, I'm not updating their weights, the kind of workaround is for agents to write down little skill files for themselves.

So what they were doing is essentially writing down skill files for agents that follow that would say, hey, this kind of sucked, remember this.

So it was kind of a persistent effect.
