And you could have a drastic acceleration without having an AI system that can do everything better than humans can do.

I guess you could have new acceleration when you have an ASI that is better than humans at everything.

But it's just very expensive or very slow or something.

So I don't find that particularly meaningful or useful.

I just prefer thinking about the overall effects on the world and what AI systems are capable of producing those types of effects.

I mean, I think AI systems will be very diverse, and so it's not super meaningful to ask

something about this very diverse range of systems and where we stand in relation to them.

I mean there will be many things that we just like will fail to understand and to some extent there are many things today that –

people don't understand about how the world works and how certain things are made.

And then, you know, how important is it for us to have access or, in principle, be able to access those considerations?

And I think it's not clear to me that that's particularly important, that, like, any individual human should be able to access all the relevant considerations that produce some outcome.

Like, that just seems like overkill.

Like, why do you...

need that to happen.

I think it would be nice in some sense, but I think if you want to have a very sophisticated world where you have very advanced technology, those things will just not be accessible to you.

So you have this trade-off between accessibility and maybe how advanced the world is.

And from my point of view, I'd much rather live in a world which has very advanced technology, has a lot of products that I'm able to enjoy, and a lot of inventions that I can improve my life with, if that means that I just don't understand them.

I mean, I think this is a very simple trade that I am very willing to make.

Current GDP per capita on average in the world is 10k a year or something, right?

And there are people who enjoy millions of dollars.
