And it's, you know, there's usually, I mean, I kind of, this is in a sense, the sort of story of computational irreducibility.

There are always unexpected corners.

There are always unexpected consequences.

And I don't think that they kind of whack it over the head with something and then it's all gone is, you know,

That can obviously happen.

The Earth can be swallowed up in a black hole or something, and then it's kind of presumably all over.

But I think this question of what do I think the realistic paths are, I think that there will be sort of an increasing... I mean, people have to get used to phenomena like computational irreducibility.

There's an idea that we built the machines so we can understand what they do,

And we're going to be able to control what happens.

Well, that's not really right.

Now the question is, is the result of that lack of control going to be that the machines kind of conspire and sort of wipe us out?

Maybe just because I'm an optimist, I don't tend to think that that's in the cards.

I think that as a realistic thing, I suspect...

you know, what will sort of emerge maybe is kind of an ecosystem of the AIs just as, you know, again, I don't really know.

I mean, this is something it's hard to be clear about what will happen.

I mean, I think that, you know, there are a lot of sort of details of, you know, what could we do?

What systems in the world could we connect an AI to?

You know, I have to say, I was just a couple of days ago, I was working on this project

ChatGBT plugin kit that we have for Wolfram Language, okay?

Where you can, you know, you can create a plugin and it runs Wolfram Language code and it can run Wolfram Language code back on your own computer.
