There's a 2001 gap between the amount of money going into making AI more powerful and the amount of money into making AI controllable, aligned, or safe.

Progress versus safety.

Well, like power versus safety.

So like, I want to make the AI super powerful so it does way more stuff versus I want to be able to control what the AI does.

Exactly.

So that's like saying, what happens when you accelerate your car by 2000x, but you don't steer?

It's like, obviously you're going to crash.

It's just like not rocket science.

We're not advocating against technology or against AI.

We're advocating for pro steering, steering and brakes.

You have to have that.

I think there's this mistake in arms race thinking that like, if you beat someone to a technology, that means you're winning the world.

Well, the US beat China to the technology of social media.

Did that make us stronger or did that make us weaker?

If you beat your adversary to a technology that then you govern poorly, you flip around the bazooka and blow your own brain off because you brain rotted yourself, you degraded your whole population, you created a loneliness crisis, the most anxious depressed generation in history.

Read Jonathan Haidt's book, The Anxious Generation.

You broke shared reality.

No one trusts each other.
