You know, it sits on the shoulders of your work and your peers' work.
And so it feels like that we're going into a proliferated environment, you know, right now, and we're going to have to deal with that.
But one of the things I'm quite curious about is what those pressures are to go so general.
I mean, you also have the super intelligence team.
And, you know, it strikes me that what we observe within the foundation models is that they're not apples for apples, pears for pears.
They all have very different flavors.
You know, some are like a center forward, some are like a defender, some are like a goalkeeper, all wonderful football players, but you need a mix.
And there is this notion that we can get super intelligence in domains, right?
So medical AI that can diagnose but doesn't set its own research agenda or financial AI that can look at time series.
Is that kind of constrained autonomy stable?
And if it is stable, why isn't it the focus of the superintelligence labs?
What you've suggested actually, maybe it's this, maybe we actually need to go faster, not slower.
And what I mean by that is the more people get exposed to AI,
in their workplaces, in their day-to-day, the more opportunities we have to, on the one hand, gather data about usage paths, but on the other hand, for people to build their own AI muscle, to build their own ability to understand the dangers of susceptibility or gullibility, to recognize
what amount of anthropomorphization is appropriate or not.
You know, in a sense, it's the knowledge and the capacity that one develops over time that inoculates us.
And that argument would be that, well, actually, if more people are out there using Copilot and Claude and ChatGPT and interacting and engaging in this conversation, the more inoculated they are to the AI psychosis risk.
And we just need to get more of it out there more quickly.
That's not a message, by the way, that I think is widely out there at the moment.
I think the message of AI that I think I hear in the market is we just have to climb that curve and that curve is capabilities.
