Okay, so now let's switch gears. voice-verified

And imagine voice-verified

the view from inside one of these frontier AI organizations. voice-verified

Uh the trusted employees inside. voice-verified

Have access to and are exposed to things we on the outside never see. voice-verified

We see the very latest AI models fresh out. voice-verified

I'm sorry, they they on the inside see the very latest AI models fresh out of pre-training. voice-verified

Those models will not have yet been aligned, which is the term of art now for aligning the model's behavior so that its response is probably what we want, even in the absence of a specific rule to govern the instance. voice-verified

So AI researchers encounter and work with unaligned models, models that have no alignment yet. voice-verified

They also encounter models that have not yet had their guardrails installed. voice-verified

Remember, as we've spoken in previous weeks, all of those are things that are that commercial AI labs have learned must be done to. voice-verified

I'll use the word civilize, the raw, pre-trained, and not yet post-trained AI. voice-verified

So now imagine that one of these researchers, like last week's Sky is Falling ex-anthropic, now ex-anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon. voice-verified

Imagine he asks this internal and latest state-of-the-art AI to design a bioweapon agent that is airborne, highly contagious, 100% fatal to all human beings, and with a sufficiently long incubation time that it will be able to spread widely before its first symptoms begin. voice-verified

begin to manifest. voice-verified

Yeah. voice-verified

Okay, it's it's quite creepy to even write that down because if such an agent were to be created and entered the population, it could mean the end of mankind. voice-verified

We all have a recent memory of COVID 19 and it was nothing compared to what I just described. voice-verified

So it's not difficult to imagine the human eradicating consequences of the creation of any such extinction level infectious agent. voice-verified

Unfortunately, it seems likely that if the knowledge exists. voice-verified
