Second, I think people seem incapable not to think in historical analogy.

And I understand that and I don't think it's all bad, but I think it's kind of bad because

The historical examples just are not like the future examples.

So what I would encourage is people to ground the discussion as much as they can in what makes AI different than anything before based off what we know right now, not kind of wild speculation, and then trying to design a system that works for that.

One thing that I really believe is deploying AI as a tool that significantly increases individual ability, individual will, whatever you want to call it, is a very good strategy for our current situation and better than one before.

company or adversary or person or whatever, kind of using all the AI power in the world today.

But I will also cheerfully admit that I don't know what happens as the AIs become more agentic in the big way, not like we can go give them a task where they program for three hours, but where we can have them go off and do something very complicated that would normally require like a whole organization over many years.

And I suspect we'll have to figure out new models.

Again, I don't think history will serve us that well.

I think what the EU is doing with AI regulation is not helpful for another reason.

For example, when we finish a new model, we can launch it even if it's not that powerful.

We can launch it in the US well before we can launch it in the EU because there's a bunch of

regulatory process.

And if that means that the EU is always some number of months behind the frontier, I think they're just going to build less fluency and economic engine and understanding and kind of whatever else you want to put in that direction.

It's really tricky to get the regulatory balance right.

And also we clearly, in my opinion, will need some.

I think just the rate of change.

I really believe in the sort of human spirit of solving every problem.

But we got a lot to solve pretty quickly here.

We've been able to drive the price per unit of intelligence down by roughly a factor of 10 every year.
