No, I'm upset by it for sure. I was talking to someone recently who I did think of as close, and they said, like, Elon doesn't have any friends. Elon doesn't do peers. Elon doesn't do friends. And that was sort of a sad moment for me because I do think of him as a friend. But I don't know. I can look at this, like, somewhat dispassionately.

Like, I remember what it was like when he said opening eyes has a 0% chance of success, and, you know, you guys are idiots, and I'm pulling funding, and I'm going to do my own thing. I remember what it was like when there were moments since then where it felt like he kind of wanted to reconcile and figure out a way to work together.

And then I remember moments where he's just like, you know, off doing his thing on Twitter. But if it were only towards me, I think it'd be much more painful. But, you know, I think you see who he is on Twitter. And so I can like hold it somewhat impersonally and just be like, this is about Elon. This is not about me. It still sucks. I've had a long time to get used to it, I guess.

Great.

Great.

Great.

I think too much regulation clearly has huge negative consequences in society right now in many places we have experienced. too much. I mean, Elon has also been a lot of proponent of calling for AI regulation as have the heads of most other large efforts. When you step on an airplane, you think very high likelihood it's going to be a safe experience.

When you eat food in the US, you don't think too much about food safety. Some regulation is clearly a good thing. Now, I can imagine versions of AI regulation that are really problematic and would disadvantage smaller efforts. And I think that would be a real mistake. But for some safety guardrails on the most powerful systems, that should only affect the people at the frontier.

That should only affect OpenAI and a small handful of others. I don't think we're at the level yet where these systems have huge safety implications. But I don't think we're like wildly far away either. So that's the sort of art here.

I don't... Well, if what they're saying is we're behind opening eyes, so it doesn't matter, and what we're calling for is only regulation at the frontier, like only stuff that is... new and untested, but otherwise put out whatever open source model you want, I don't think it's reasonable for them to make that argument. I don't know, I'm curious what you think.
