Efforts to implement the Dodd-Frank reforms of the financial system. And one of the difficulties was that, was that that bill had general principles. But regulators had to actually spell out what it meant to regulate some pretty complicated contracts and instruments in the world of finance.

And what you'd written about then was how the private interest had gotten in and kind of gummed all that up with โ by disputing everything. But I'm wondering what does โ what do regulations that control something as sprawling as AI โ what does that look like? What do we need in terms of โ how do we get prepared?

And they could learn how to pursue an agenda and keep it hidden, right, to deceive in their own interest. Yeah. So what would that look like in terms of โ what are the dark fears here?

Wow. So what are some of the darkest fears? I mean, starting nuclear war, you set it to defend territory with drones and it gets โ decides it needs to be more aggressive than the generals want to. I mean, what is it โ what are the fears?

Right, right. You know, there's something that you wrote in the book. You wrote about a couple of tech guys, Tristan Harris and Azar Raskin, who had real experience in the tech world, who said they worried about AI because it's a technology whose creators confess they do not understand why their models do what they do. Is that literally true? That's kind of scary. Yeah.

One more thing about the national political scene. There's a lot of talk about tech bros and Donald Trump. Elon Musk is clearly a driving force in the administration's effort to cut federal workforce and contracts. There are a bunch of billionaires from the tech world at his inauguration. Do you think that there's an elite tech agenda to radically reshape society at work through Donald Trump?

You know, the account that you give us in the book is pretty detailed and really interesting about how all this unfolded. One of the things that struck me is that some of the leading players in developing AI weren't just coders or computer nerds. A lot of them studied classics or philosophy or worked in completely unrelated fields. Is there a connection here?
