Without that, you know, is something missing.

Or without that, are you making fewer mistakes?

Sometimes the gut feeling is not one you should have followed.

So Dr. Frankenstein, you know, creates life, right, out of dead matter.

In a way, that's what we do with AI as well.

We take dead matter, it's like, you know, silicon chips and wires and metals and whatnot, you know, and put them together and then, you know, coat them and boom.

Look, I'm an incorrigible optimist by nature.

So that's why, yeah, I grew up in the Soviet Union.

Yes.

And I saw the collapse of democracy in Russia.

And I still believe that, you know, the history of humanity gives us reasons to be optimistic.

I'd like to imagine a future where we have built, we have developed human systems that bring the best out of us rather than the worst out of us.

I think it's a time where we have to reconsider, you know, this is how in this new environment, which is dominated by computers, we can find a robust democracy.

Because humans still have monopoly for evil.

And that's why, you know, let's stop worrying about the terminators and metrics.

Let's recognize that it's about us.

Machine is like a mirror.

And if you don't like what we see in the mirror, you have two choices.

Either you can work on your body to improve the picture, or you can try to distort the mirror.

The latter decision is just, it's a recipe for disaster.
