Yes or no?

Contentious question.

Oh, God.

They call this a P-Doom out in San Francisco.

I won't give you a probability, I suppose.

But without getting to the question of like, will literally every single person die?

I do think there is a very good reason to be concerned about misalignment and rogue AI.

Because when you think about it, sometimes people say that safety and the safety of a model is maybe in tension with these goals.

Like,

acceleration and is the model really useful?

And I think the thing that's really interesting is in the history of AI research, it's often the people who make the biggest technical advances in these foundational models who end up the most concerned about misalignment.

And that's because actually the product functionality of the models, their utility

is only as good as how controllable they are and how much they do what you expect.

So when you say, hey, AI agent, go off and make me a million dollars or whatever, whether that model goes and does so in a law abiding and safe and nonviolent way, the safety of the model, the alignment of the model is very correlated with whether it is economically useful as well.

So I think that it's important that we not hold them in total tension.

And I think there are really good reasons to be concerned with whether these agents are doing the things that we expect them to do.

And it's worth noting that, for example, politicians will point to, say, retraining as the default.

We have never had a successful large-scale reskilling program in the history of the United States.

During, say, the deindustrialization, you lost all these factory jobs.

It wasn't that many jobs, and we created way more net jobs, say, in Silicon Valley, but the steelworkers did not learn to code, right?
