I think we don't even yet really understand what kind of power it's going to have. Just the degree to which it is persuading us of things, and then we are reflecting on those things, which then become fodder for the next generation to ingest. That is a positive feedback.

And that positive feedback has every potential to, I think, drive us crazy at the very least, as the AI confidently pronounces to us the things that we can conclude from having queried it. I mean, that's dangerous. Do you use it? Do I use it? Very sparingly. And I have no idea whether that is an enlightened position, if it is foolish.

If it is a self-destructive middle ground where I know I neither get the benefit of the AI nor the immunity from staying away from it, I don't know. And, you know, again, this is, it's a place where if there's one thing I know, it's that I don't know.

Yeah. I don't think there's anything we can do at the level of regulating ourselves into safety. But I think coming to understand the problems that this is inevitably going to produce and creating some sort of surveillance mechanism that can monitor the problems that it causes.

I don't mean surveillance of people, but I mean to the extent that LLMs are altering the way people interact and understand themselves, we need to study that process so that we can detect if we are being driven to madness. How you would do that, I don't know, but I do...

I believe that you would want people who understand the full depth of the problem discussing the range of possibilities, what might be done just to simply record the state of the LLMs at a particular moment, the state of, you know, the public's understanding of various topics and see how the two are interacting.

No doubt people are studying that for the purpose of monetizing it, but from the purpose of, I mean, just look at how the cell phone and social media has altered human relations. The answer is radically and in a way that's totally arbitrary, right? Or arbitrary would be better than what it is. It's partially pernicious because our attention has been monetized.

The change that the LLMs are going to bring is going to be tenfold what the cell phone did. And the cell phone was pretty disastrous from many different perspectives. I see. So, yeah, I think there ought to be a full court press on trying to understand its impact so that we can immunize ourselves. That said, I don't see the...
