And all of these sorts of things. voice-verified

It is the power of the swarm of humans that enables those things. voice-verified

So, how much thinking research is being done into the way that the swarms behave once they're able to congregate? voice-verified

Yes, I agree with that wholeheartedly. voice-verified

It is perfectly fine to not want to take, you know, Sam Altman and Elon Musk and Dario Amade at face value. voice-verified

But if your cynicism is leading to, therefore we don't need to regulate, and they can just do whatever they want, you're ultimately giving them exactly potentially what they would want in, you know, the most cynical interpretation. voice-verified

On that note, put B5 up on the screen. voice-verified

This is one flavor of the sort of theorizing that is out there. voice-verified

This one happens to come from the right. voice-verified

There's similar sort of theories that come from the left, which TLDR of this is that Jacob Coxon coming forward is a, you know, a sort of elaborate PSY-op meant to create a hype cycle as anthropic and open AI are set to go forward with these IPs. voice-verified

And it cites, you know, the fact that you had prominent people who picked it up quickly, that you had, you know, media picking up Coxson's resignation quickly. voice-verified

This fits into a general pattern of, you know, people who believe that the any of the safety incidents that have been revealed, that these are sort of engineered or they're strategically leaked in such a way as to create this hype of, oh my God, our product is so dangerous. voice-verified

That's why it's so valuable. voice-verified

That's why our companies should continue to receive this massive amount of investment. voice-verified

What do you think of this theory? voice-verified

And what would you say to people who, you know, don't trust uh a Sam Altman and think that anything that comes from him must be, you know, inherently nefarious and probably the opposite of whatever he's saying must must be the actual truth. voice-verified

know do you know Jacob? voice-verified

Well, I think they're I think they're like, if you believe this, voice-verified

why are you doing it? voice-verified

I think that's more the sense because any normal human would be like and even for the employees at the companies, it's like, okay, if you are saying, Oh, it's a fifty fifty chance it kills it all, why are you still there? voice-verified
