It's so great.

So maybe the mission has something to do with health and AI plays an important component of it.

I guess what's strange, though, is that AI itself creates its own potential pitfalls.

I mean, the industry, as you mentioned, is obsessed with the pitfalls of its own making, right?

Yeah.

And so there is almost no way that AI can just be a tool in service of some other mission.

Because almost everyone who knows something about AI sees potential for extreme exacerbation of inequality, potentially AI robots that will be misaligned and want to kill us all when they have sufficient capabilities.

Yeah, right.

And so like, on the one hand, like, yes, as a technology, it might fit into some of these other big missions.

But on the other hand, it sort of feels like it has to there has to be some like, AI specific goal of like, where do we want this technology to go?

Or how do we how do we curb it or whatever it is, that seems very distinct.

And I don't think it is marketing, or just marketing, because A, there's already this very big tech backlash, right?

So like, it's not working.

You know, if the idea is, oh, we wanna plump our valuations, and so we do that by saying the TAM is all human labor,

Yeah.

Well, you're really upsetting a lot of people by saying this.

It's not that's not obviously good.

And B, you know, as we've written about or talked about, you know, some of these big labs like they were founded from day one with the premise that this is not normal technology, which is why it's like housed in a nonprofit or something like this.

So I tend to think that when the CEOs of these companies talk about this stuff, they kind of mean what they say.

They, too, are they, too, are concerned.
