Science is a collaborative endeavor, right?

It's all good for humanity in the end if you cure terrible diseases and you come up with an incredible cure.

This is net win for humanity.

And the same with energy, all of the things that I'm interested in helping solve with AI.

So I just want that technology to exist in the world and be used for the right things.

And the kind of the benefits of that, the productivity benefits of that being shared for the benefit of everyone.

So I try to maintain good relations with all the leading lab people.

They have very interesting characters, many of them, as you might expect.

But yeah, I'm on good terms, I hope, with pretty much all of them.

And I think that's going to be important when things get even more serious than they are now.

that there are those communication channels and that's what will facilitate cooperation or collaboration if that's what is required, especially on things like safety.

Yeah, that would be awesome.

And we've talked about that in the past and it may be a cool thing that, that, you know, we can do.

And I agree with you, it'd be nice to have, um, kind of side projects in a way where, where one can just lean into the collaboration aspect of it.

And it's a sort of, uh, win-win for both sides.

And it's, um, and it kind of builds up that, that, that, uh, collaborative muscle.

I agree.

And I would love to see a lot of people, a lot of the other labs talk about science, but I think we're really the only ones using it for science and doing that.

And that's why projects like AlphaFold are so important to me.

And I think to our mission is to show how AI can...
