which they might.

And second, I think there is a lot of value in the best and most powerful AI being out there impacting the world.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Ilya Sutskever – We're moving from the age of scaling to the age of research

I think this is a meaningfully valuable thing.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Ilya Sutskever – We're moving from the age of scaling to the age of research

So I'll make the case for and against.

Ilya Sutskever – We're moving from the age of scaling to the age of research

The case for is that you are... So one of the challenges that people face when they're in the market is that they have to participate in the rat race.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Ilya Sutskever – We're moving from the age of scaling to the age of research

And the rat race is quite difficult in that it exposes you to difficult trade-offs which you need to make.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Ilya Sutskever – We're moving from the age of scaling to the age of research

And it is nice to say we'll insulate ourselves from all this and just focus on the research and come out only when we are ready and not before.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Ilya Sutskever – We're moving from the age of scaling to the age of research

But the counterpoint is valid too.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Ilya Sutskever – We're moving from the age of scaling to the age of research

And those are opposing forces.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Ilya Sutskever – We're moving from the age of scaling to the age of research

The counterpoint is, hey, it is useful for the world to see powerful AI.

Dwarkesh Podcast

It is useful for the world to see powerful AI because that's the only way you can communicate it.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Ilya Sutskever – We're moving from the age of scaling to the age of research

Communicate the AI.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Ilya Sutskever – We're moving from the age of scaling to the age of research

Okay, so let's suppose you read an essay about AI.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Ilya Sutskever – We're moving from the age of scaling to the age of research

And the essay says, AI is going to be this, and AI is going to be that, and it's going to be this.

Dwarkesh Podcast

And you read it and you say, okay, this is an interesting essay.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Ilya Sutskever – We're moving from the age of scaling to the age of research

Now suppose you see an AI doing this, an AI doing that.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Ilya Sutskever – We're moving from the age of scaling to the age of research

It is incomparable.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Ilya Sutskever – We're moving from the age of scaling to the age of research

Like basically, I think that there is a big benefit from AI being in the public.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Ilya Sutskever – We're moving from the age of scaling to the age of research

And that would be a reason for us to not be quite straight shot.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Ilya Sutskever – We're moving from the age of scaling to the age of research

Well, I think on this point, even in the straight shot scenario, you would still do a gradual release of it.
