Oh, well, I think there are people who will really be a jerk on Twitter who will still not like abuse the system of a country they're now in a sort of extremely influential political role for. That seems completely different to me.

Not bad.

Not bad.

No, but on your general point, you are right that we do not sit there and throw tomatoes back and forth on Twitter. The reason for this one was we had to make a legal filing, and we wanted to provide some context. We've published about this once before, also when we had to make a legal filing. I've lost track of how many times that Elon has sued us.

I think it's like four withdraws, changes, goes for this preliminary injunction, whatever. Our job is to build AGI in a way that benefits humanity and figure out how to safely and broadly distribute it. Our job is not to engage in like a Twitter fight with Elon. But when we have to respond to illegal filing, we will and sometimes we'll provide context. I think we've only done this twice.

One, I think I was, like, a little bit wrong about that. And I have been—although I have had concerns, I have been impressed by how much not just us but the other AI labs have— even though they have this like wild sort of market or economic incentive, have really been focused on developing safe models. I think there's many factors that went into that.

We did get a little lucky on the direction the technology went. But also if you deploy these models in a way that is harmful to people, you would like very quickly, I believe, lose your license to operate if it was an obvious one. Now, there are subtle things that can go wrong.

I think social media is an example of a place where maybe the harms weren't so obvious at the time, and then there was an emergent property at scale, and you could imagine something happening with AI that could be like that.

But the incentive problem has been better than I thought at the time, and I will cheerfully say I was a little bit naive about how the world works 10 years ago, and I feel better now.
