I tend to be pretty optimistic about breakthroughs too.

So I mean, so I think if you normalized for my normal optimism, then maybe it would be even slower than what I'm saying.

But even within that, like I'm not even opining on the question of how many breakthroughs are required to get to general intelligence because no one knows.

Sure.

So I still don't think I have any particular insight on when a singular AI system that is a general intelligence will get created.

But I think the one thing that most people...

in the discourse that I've seen about this haven't really grappled with is that we do seem to have

organizations and structures in the world that exhibit greater than human intelligence already.

So one example is a company.

It acts as an entity.

It has a singular brand.

Obviously, it's a collection of people.

But I certainly hope that Meta, with tens of thousands of people, makes smarter decisions than one person.

But I think that that would be pretty bad if it didn't.

Another example that I think is even more removed from kind of the way we think about like the personification of intelligence, which is often implied in some of these questions, is think about something like the stock market, right?

probably millions of people around the world are basically voting every day by choosing what to invest in.

But it's basically this organism or structure that is smarter than any individual that we use to allocate capital as efficiently as possible around the world.

And I do think that this notion that there are already these cybernetic

systems that are either melding the intelligence of multiple people together or melding the intelligence of multiple people and technology together to form something which is dramatically more intelligent than any individual in the world is something that seems to exist and that we seem to be able to harness in a productive way for our society

as long as we basically build these structures and balance with each other.
