I'm going to add a line to the system prompt that like the AI should put like this group first or something like that.
So for a while, I think it'll be this like terrible political football and we'll end up with these like horrible kludge system prompts.
And then the hope is just that at some point, like everyone serious starts to realize, okay, we need to like deliberate about this about as hard as we did with the actual constitutions of countries.
Well, exactly, exactly.
I mean, I'm also like sort of reflexively fearful of the government.
I hope that came across in all of this.
Not really.
That's probably why my PDM is so high, basically.
Yeah.
I mean, I'm very worried about bioweapons, and I think that that's going to be a good justification for government control that's nonetheless going to be excessive.
Yeah.
If there's such a technical solution, that would be a total bonanza.
I would be over the moon and that would lower my PDM substantially.
Specifically, if we could find a way to say everyone gets open source AI, somehow we're disabling them from doing basically terrorism and other very destructive power grabs.
But otherwise, they get to actually serve users.
I would be like, yay, I want to live in that world.
Correct, yes.
Yeah, so they've raised money, they're hiring, and their basic pitch is we're going to avoid the kind of gradual disempowerment, intelligence curse dynamics by giving people control over their own automation.
And so the service that they're planning to provide is you upload your data to some sort of secure private enclave.
We will host it.
