we might face this problem that we wouldn't have any idea how to control them, that they would in some sense have more power than we do because they're more intelligent.
And that's why we have power over all the other species.
And then we would be in the same inferior situation.
Just a few weeks ago, Anthropic put out a blog post saying, this is happening.
We are experiencing what's called now recursive self-improvement, or RSI.
And Anthropic itself called for a worldwide halt on further development of AI.
I think both.
In 1995, if you go back and read that section of the book, it sort of says, well, you know, it's a long way off
It's hard to really predict what's going to happen.
Maybe there's reason to be cautiously optimistic.
It's very agnostic about whether to take this seriously.
And what changed in me in around 2013, so I was on sabbatical in Paris, and I just started thinking more about
whether we could succeed, whether we could really produce superintelligence.
And I became convinced that we were close to being able to have a roadmap.
So a roadmap meaning here are a series of engineering challenges that we can apply ourselves to.
And if we knock those over one by one, we'll get to superintelligence.
Yeah.
And Yoshua Bengio, one of the other godfathers of deep learning, as they're often called.
In my case, so back in 2013, seeing that we might be able to achieve superintelligence, but also realizing that the standard model that we were working in was basically flawed.
Because remember what standard model says.
