Ilya Sutskever

And then you can say that's a precarious place to be in.

But, so I'm going to preface by saying, I don't like this solution, but it is a solution.

And the solution is if people become part AI with some kind of Neuralink++.

Because what will happen as a result is that now the AI understands something, and we understand it too.

Because now the understanding is transmitted wholesale.

So now if the AI is in some situation, now it's like you are involved in that situation yourself fully.

And I think this is the answer to the equilibrium.

So I think there's a more general point.

I think it's actually really mysterious how the brain encodes high-level desires.

Sorry, how evolution encodes high-level desires.

Like, it's pretty easy to understand how evolution would endow us with the desire for food that smells good.

Because smell is a chemical.

and so just pursue that chemical it's very easy to imagine such a evolution doing such a thing but evolution also has endowed us with all these social desires like we we really care about being seen positively by society we care about being in a good standing we like all these social intuitions that we have i feel strongly that they're baked in and i don't know how evolution did it

Because it's a high level concept that's represented in the brain.

Like what people think, like, let's say you are like, you care about some social thing.

It's not like a low level signal, like smell.

It's not something that, for which there is a sensor.

Like the brain needs to do a lot of processing to piece together lots of bits of information to understand what's going on socially.

And somehow evolution said, that's what you should care about.

How did it do it?
