And I fully support, applaud, and adore those efforts.

I'm very interested myself in unintentional harm, right?

So much bad can come from very good intentions and no skills.

When you have vast leverage, when you have high impact, and you're a doofus, essentially, from the previous...

century, and you are put in charge of enormous resources, enormous projects, and all of it is going technological.

Every company now is saying it's an AI company.

And the leadership of these companies, do they know what they're doing?

If not, oh dear God.

Pardon my Shakespeare.

It really upsets me to think that we still have people who are...

in charge of, without realizing that they're in charge of, shaping vast changes in this world, and they're absentees, they're not participating.

They're just letting things slip into whatever default.

I want to see steering.

I don't like this ma no hands, watch me let go of the steering wheel attitude.

So, to the extent that I can reach leaders,

who are in the position to be smart wishers or not, I want to reach them, right?

That's one.

Number two is I want to protect human agency because the lie that AI is autonomous, that it's an entity, that it makes decisions for us is a lie.

And it is a poisonous lie that makes life worse, not better.

Somewhere in any scaling technology, there are humans.
