I mean, that's what this is all in service of is what is the narrow path that is not the default maximalist rollout.

And there's, there's two ways to fail here.

Let's just name the twin sort of gutters in the bowling alley.

Because one is you, quote, let it rip.

You give everybody access to AI.

You open source it all.

Every actor in society from every business to every developing country can train their own customized AI in their own language.

But then because you're decentralizing all these benefits, you're also decentralizing all the risks.

And now a rogue actor can do something very dangerous with AI.

So we have to be very careful about what we're letting rip and how we open source it.

People say we have to lock it down.

We have to have only five players do this in a very safe and trusted way.

This is more of the policy of the last administration.

But then there you get the risk of a handful of actors that then accumulate all the wealth and all the power.

And there's no checks and balances on that because how do you have something that's a million times more powerful be checkable by other forces that don't have that power?

And what we need to find is something like a commitment to a narrow path where we are balancing responsibility and power along the way.

And we have foresight and discernment about the effects of every technology.

So what would that look like?

It's like humanity wakes up and says, we have to get onto another path.

We pass basic laws, again, like liability laws and around AI companions.
