Which is just, we won't be in control, right? voice-verified

We won't understand what it's doing and it will escape, right? voice-verified

The other is just that what we're talking about is a technology that has accelerating acceleration. voice-verified

And so what that means is normal ways in which you could retreat to a confident position such as, yes, we are going head to head with China. voice-verified

And if we have a set of guardrails and China breaks them, well, we will trust that the that the ingenuity and sort of democratic spirit will mean that we'll catch up. voice-verified

Or if one company doesn't follow a set of voluntary rules, but another does it, but they can hire better engineers and catch up. voice-verified

Right. voice-verified

All of those sort of voice-verified

kind of natural ways in which competition can overcome inequities in enforcement, in rules, right? voice-verified

Go out the window when what we're talking about is the possibility of some kind of accelerating acceleration of progress in which one company, one country, one organization leaps, leapfrogs ahead and it doesn't matter what anyone else does behind them, which I think is informing all of this, including what Amadai published. voice-verified

I think you should take the argument seriously that there is a risk of capture by the largest players. voice-verified

But part of that, it is the nature of a safety regulation, right? voice-verified

There is a good reason it is hard to start a car company. voice-verified

We demand that if you make a car, it is safe, and you have to pass a certain number of rules. voice-verified

It would be a more dynamic and interesting car market if anybody could just sell a car, and then if it turned out to not be safe, you could sue, and there were all kind of liability ways in which safety was enforced, and we'd have more interesting cars, but there would be a better chance of you dying while your skin melts while you're pounding against the inside of a window, right? voice-verified

We make certain compromises, right? voice-verified

to have a safe society. voice-verified

And over and over again, let's just treat this like a normal technology. voice-verified

We regret when we do safety second, right? voice-verified
