Why?

Because I contributed to building this.

Because I mean, when Jeffrey Hinton, one of my favorite moments when we were filming Chasing Utopia is that Jeffrey is very big for all of us.

We really think the world of him.

And I was telling him just as a sort of like an older mentor, if you want.

I was like, Jeffrey, do you regret doing this?

You know, I genuinely believed when we were building those things that we were going to make the world better.

And he said, well, yeah, I too was naive.

I thought that we, I didn't think he said, I didn't think we will get there so quickly before we figured out the alignment problem.

Right.

The alignment problem.

That AI has our best interest in mind.

And I think all of us were faced with that.

All of us were faced with that idea of we're building the best thing ever for humanity.

And then suddenly you realize, oh my God, in the wrong hands, it's the worst thing ever for humanity.

And I have to say, I came to terms with this 2024, end of 24, that yes, I can try, but I accept that the world is what it is.

And from that point of calm and stoicism, if you want, I think I can have a much bigger impact on the world.

I don't know why so many people are asking.

Am I going to go anytime soon?

I don't know why so many people are asking me that question.
