It's a promising field of endeavor.
But again, we do not totally understand what's going on inside these machines because we didn't have to understand them to build them, however ironic that sounds, because they just kind of evolved given the technology.
demands we placed on them the constraints so uh you know there is hope that we'll figure out how to do this alignment thing and make them good citizens and so on but what i would say is
Slowing down wouldn't hurt.
This stuff is going to have a huge impact, and I would encourage a more cautious approach than we're taking now.
It's kind of a race environment, an arms race environment right now.
Labs are moving as fast as they can, and I think slowing down would be good.
Yeah, rogue actors are one of several concerns.
An AI can help a rogue actor make a bioweapon.
An AI can be a weapon that a rogue actor can use.
We've recently seen with this anthropic model called Mythos that...
They have already what you could call superhuman hacking abilities, okay?
The ability to go in and penetrate a cybersecurity system.
In principle, you could have an AI that self-replicates, it hacks into data centers, it commandeers the computing power, it gets stronger as it goes, hops from data center to data center.
These things are possible, it's not just science fiction.
So and you can imagine a rogue actor setting one of those in motion.
You can also imagine this happening in a different way from the AI just kind of getting out of control and for whatever reason going rogue on itself.
But yeah, you know, the encouraging thing is the U.S.
and China at the recent Beijing summit agreed to start talking together.
And of course, these are the two AI superpowers about keeping things under control.
