Why stop that?
Why end that process?
We have all these interesting building blocks now.
LLMs are the most obvious one.
And they enable all kinds of design.
The design space is massively opened up right now.
And it's really underexplored and underexploited.
And yeah, so we think that there's much room to kind of improve that.
But maybe you think that this is only a temporary measure.
I think that could be the case.
But even in that case, there are some really important decisions to be made by society, by individuals, by groups, by societies about where we actually go next and how it is that we're directing that when we're making various kinds of transitions and which transitions we're making.
I think a lot of people think of this kind of linear timeline, you know, when are things going to happen?
And then it's just bish, bosh, bosh, you know, ABC happens.
But actually, the sequence of things and even the choices we have about what parts of the tech tree we explore, I think these are genuinely open.
I don't think it's just naive to think that there are actually decisions to be made.
And so if we can, in the meantime, enable better decisions to be made by individuals, by societies,
And better on their own lights.

They're not kind of preachy.
They're not giving a specific position, but they're supporting reasoning and helping people to come to better decisions.
