Jeff Kluwe and Tim Rockteschel, for instance, built Rainbow Teaming, which is an automated red teaming setup where an AI...

tries to get another AI to say bad things and unsafe things, and then by virtue of them interacting with one another in this open-ended loop for a long time, you keep finding new ways to get an AI to say something bad, and then you can use that data to then make the AI not do it, right?

So AI has gotten safer and safer because of an open-ended AI solution to that very problem invented by the very founders of this company.

I'm really excited that we have that in mind and that I think we'll do a good job prioritizing it.

It means that when we look at the history of humanity,

as soon as we develop the scientific method and the enlightenment, and we're iterating on that, that when you zoom out, just factually speaking, things have gotten a lot better.

There were some dips in there, there were some terrible world wars, and those we should avoid through good policies and international trade and partnerships and so on.

But ultimately, the child-like

Death ratio has gone way, way down.

How many women die in child labor has gone way down.

The literacy rates have gone way up.

Like the wealth and people living in abject poverty numbers have improved.

Like most statistics that we look at, things have gotten better because of technological progress often.

There are no more rags to richer stories because no one has to wear rags anymore because clothing got so cheap because of automation a lot, right?

So there's a lot of positivity.

And so if you now have some optimism and you think that you can actually implement something and make an idea really work, then I think you're, historically speaking, more often right.

And that should hopefully help inspire people to then think actively about how to make the future better.

And I think that is something that's unfortunately missing in a lot of

public discourse in the media, in movies, in Hollywood and other places.

But, you know, if you just look at the past, like things have gotten a lot better in almost any 50 year window, especially since the scientific method has been developed.
