Is that right?
I think it's roughly right.
This is miraculous technology that didn't exist.
I think there's going to be a huge amount of demand as we see the demand in ChashiPT already and so on.
So yeah, I don't actually know that there's overbuilding, but I guess I'm just reacting to some of the very fast timelines that people continue to say incorrectly.
And I've heard many, many times over the course of my 15 years in AI where very reputable people keep getting this wrong all the time.
And I think I want us to be properly calibrated.
And I think some of this also, it does have like geopolitical ramifications and things like that when, like some of these questions.
And I think I don't want people to make mistakes on that sphere of things.
So I do want us to be grounded in reality of what technology is and isn't.
I guess maybe, like, the way I would put it is...
I feel some amount of like determinism around the things that AI labs are doing.
And I feel like I could help out there, but I don't know that I would like uniquely... I don't know that I would like uniquely improve it.
But I think like my personal big fear is that a lot of this stuff happens on the side of humanity and that humanity gets disempowered by it.
And I kind of like...
I care not just about all the Dyson spheres that we're going to build and that AI is going to build in a fully autonomous way.
I care about what happens to humans.
And I want humans to be well off in this future.
And I feel like that's where I can a lot more uniquely add value than like an incremental improvement in the frontier lab.
And so I guess I'm most afraid of something maybe like depicted in movies like WALL-E or Idiocracy or something like that, where humanity is sort of on the side of this stuff.
