Now, I'm not saying that there's not going to be a super smart model that decides, hey, I'm actually unaligned.

This is actually a super important point.

If you guys remember Mecca Hitler?

Mecca Hitler was actually super dumb.

But the thing is when you make – the model – the reason it's becoming smart is because it's kind of absorbing all of human content to a larger extent than human content has values and ethics as part of it.

If you go in there and lobotomize it in a way that –

what that model, the reason it started acting like Mecha Hitler is because they were trying to make it less woke, right?

So that's the equivalent of lobotomizing a human being and saying, hey, I'm gonna take that part out of its brain.
