But I don't believe at all that there is some kind of fundamental difference between the kind of cognitive labor that AI models do and piloting things in the physical world.

I think those are both information problems, and I think they end up being very similar.

One can be more complex in some ways, but I don't think that will protect us here.

It will be on a longer time scale than the kind of genius level intelligence of the AI models because of these practical issues, but it is only practical issues.

I don't believe it is fundamental issues.

I think one way to say it is that the brain of the robot will be made in the next couple years or the next few years.

The question is making the robot body, making sure that body operates safely and does the tasks it needs to do, that may take longer.

all this enormous wealth and plenty.

You know, we will have unprecedented societal resources to address these problems, right?

It'll be a time of plenty and it's just a matter of, you know, taking all these wonders and making sure everyone benefits from them.

Yes, yes.

I just figured we should have a more technical term for it.

We can't just call it Skynet.

I should have had like a picture of a Terminator robot to like scare people as much as possible.

Yeah, so a few points on this.

You know, one is I think there's certainly risk of that, you know, and I think if we end up in that world, that is actually exactly what we should do.

I mean, maybe I don't.

Talk about that enough.

But like, I definitely am in favor of like trying to work out restraints here.

Right.
