I'm not relying on some invisible big other force here.

I'm more saying that companies are starting to test for this and monitor for this in their own systems.

Just having a non-regulatory external test of whether you truly are testing for that is extremely helpful.

I've seen us go from zero to having what I think people generally feel is an effective bioweapon testing regime in maybe two years, two and a half.

So it can be done.

It's really hard, but we have a proof point.

So I think that we can get there.

And you should expect us to kind of speak more about this this year, about precisely how we're starting to try and build monitoring and testing things for this.

And I think this is an area where we and the other AI companies will need to be significantly more public about what we're finding.

We're not not being public now.

It's in the model cards and things that you can read.

But clearly, people are starting to read this and say, hang on.

This looks like quite concerning and they are looking to us to produce more data.

I...

believe that this technology is going to make its way into the broad knowledge economy, and it will touch the majority of entry-level jobs.

Whether those jobs actually change is a much more subtle question, and it's not obvious from the data.

We maybe see the hints of a slowdown in graduate hiring, maybe.

If you look at some of the data coming out right now, we maybe see the signatures of a productivity boom, but it's very, very early, and it's hard to be definitive.

But we do know that all of these jobs will change.

All of the entry-level jobs are eventually going to change because AI has made certain things possible.
