So this whole six month thing, I think is a little silly.

It's like, no, let's just get busy, do what we were gonna do anyway.

And we should have done it six months ago.

Sorry, we messed up.

Let's work faster now.

Because if we basically say, why don't you guys pause for six months?

And then we'll think about doing something in six months, we'll be exactly at the same spot.

So my answer is, tell us exactly what you were gonna do the next six months.

Tell us why you didn't do it the last six months and why the next six months will be different.

And then let's just do that.

Conversely, as you train these large models with more parameters, the alignment becomes sometimes easier.

that as the systems become more capable, they actually become less dangerous than more dangerous.

So in a way, it might actually be counterproductive to sort of fix the March 2023 version and not get to experience the possibly safer September 2023 version.

the scale of impact it has on society?

My recommendation would be a little different.

It would be let the Google and the Meta, Facebook, and all of the other large models, make them open, make them transparent, make them accessible.

Let OpenAI continue to train larger and larger models.

Let them continue to train larger and larger models.

Let the world experiment with the diversity of AI systems rather than sort of fixing them now.

And you can't stop progress.
