I actually think a lot of them feel like it would be great if we had robust social and political solutions to these problems.
But since that like does not seem like it's happening anytime soon, we might have to just like try to do what we can on a technical level.
Well, so... I mean, that really is, like, the big question, right?
Which is, like, given all of the, like, existing harms and the possible harms and the theoretical catastrophic harms, like, why are we doing this?
And...
The like rosy picture that some of the executives paint is like, if we get this right, these things are gonna cure cancer and solve climate change and help us build Dyson spheres or whatever.
And there certainly are some people who like buy into that.
And it's not something that I even feel like it's possible to, like, have an evidence-based opinion about.
Like, who the fuck knows?
Like, maybe it'd be great.
But there's no, like, evidence so far that one could, like, point to to suggest we're on that trajectory.
That's just, like, purely speculative and wishful.
And so that's, like, a matter of faith, I think.
And then there's the attitude of, like...
We got to do this because we got to beat the bad guys who are trying to do this.
And I will say that, like, China almost never came up in my conversations.
But, like, Sam Altman kind of felt like a subtext of a lot of things.
But then I think that on...
The deepest level, the reason that like we are doing this for the people who are the most candid is like because we can.
That like if you are capable of building something like this, you're just going to do it because it's like really fucking interesting to do.
