And that's why I think I'm very skeptical of the idea.
You know, I think with any new technology, we're faced with completely unprecedented challenges, right?
The idea that you could, you know, take a bunch of aluminum and get it into the air and then sit in it and ride around, you know, a field in it is just kind of bonkers, right?
I mean, it's just so unfathomable.
Yeah.
And so all of the safety regulation that then came with that as it became more mainstream and commercial flight really became affordable, that happens as we observe the ways that this could potentially go wrong.
And so I think we need to be patient and kind of forgive ourselves collectively as a species because this is really complicated and really, really hard.
And so I think that like what we've got to do is just call out what we think might be wrong, what we where we think a risk might be and talk about it as openly as possible, as quickly as possible to attract other people to come and critique it, build on it, find different solutions, etc.
So I don't I'm not necessarily proposing a way forward or, you know.
I'm not necessarily saying what we should do immediately, but I definitely see it as a really significant challenge that we're facing basically right now.
Yeah, I mean, I think there's always going to be a tension, right?
Because some people want to drive their car 200 miles an hour, you know, on the sidewalk, right?
And we've got regulations to prevent that in the collective interest because we see that that's probably going to cause more harm than good.
And I think what we're saying in this situation is, you know, it seems at least to me obvious that in the majority, if not all situations, requiring that an AI always identify itself as an AI and not try to misrepresent it as a human.
That seems like a pretty obvious no brainer.
That's like the starting blocks, right?
So, you know, I think going even further than that, you know, we're going to want to put boundaries and limitations around its agency.
What are the types of transactions that it can engage in?
What is the scale of the tooling and infrastructure that it could use?
Like if it had sort of unlimited access to more compute power, or if it was able to modify its own code independently without human oversight.
