Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
Mustafa Suleyman โ€” AI is hacking our empathy circuits

You know, it sits on the shoulders of your work and your peers' work.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
Mustafa Suleyman โ€” AI is hacking our empathy circuits

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.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
Mustafa Suleyman โ€” AI is hacking our empathy circuits

But one of the things I'm quite curious about is what those pressures are to go so general.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
Mustafa Suleyman โ€” AI is hacking our empathy circuits

I mean, you also have the super intelligence team.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
Mustafa Suleyman โ€” AI is hacking our empathy circuits

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.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
Mustafa Suleyman โ€” AI is hacking our empathy circuits

They all have very different flavors.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
Mustafa Suleyman โ€” AI is hacking our empathy circuits

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.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
Mustafa Suleyman โ€” AI is hacking our empathy circuits

And there is this notion that we can get super intelligence in domains, right?

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
Mustafa Suleyman โ€” AI is hacking our empathy circuits

So medical AI that can diagnose but doesn't set its own research agenda or financial AI that can look at time series.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
Mustafa Suleyman โ€” AI is hacking our empathy circuits

Is that kind of constrained autonomy stable?

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
Mustafa Suleyman โ€” AI is hacking our empathy circuits

And if it is stable, why isn't it the focus of the superintelligence labs?

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
Mustafa Suleyman โ€” AI is hacking our empathy circuits

What you've suggested actually, maybe it's this, maybe we actually need to go faster, not slower.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
Mustafa Suleyman โ€” AI is hacking our empathy circuits

And what I mean by that is the more people get exposed to AI,

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
Mustafa Suleyman โ€” AI is hacking our empathy circuits

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

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
Mustafa Suleyman โ€” AI is hacking our empathy circuits

what amount of anthropomorphization is appropriate or not.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
Mustafa Suleyman โ€” AI is hacking our empathy circuits

You know, in a sense, it's the knowledge and the capacity that one develops over time that inoculates us.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
Mustafa Suleyman โ€” AI is hacking our empathy circuits

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.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
Mustafa Suleyman โ€” AI is hacking our empathy circuits

And we just need to get more of it out there more quickly.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
Mustafa Suleyman โ€” AI is hacking our empathy circuits

That's not a message, by the way, that I think is widely out there at the moment.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
Mustafa Suleyman โ€” AI is hacking our empathy circuits

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.
