Everyone's at each other's throats.

You maximized outrage, economy, and rivalry.

You beat China to a technology that you governed in a way that completely undermined your societal health and strength.

It's a Pyrrhic victory.

It's a Pyrrhic victory.

Exactly.

Well said.

This is an area where I'm not somewhat... The layer of the stack that I focus on, which is on societal impact, there are other people far more qualified than me to comment on that.

I think if you look at people like Dario, even though Gary Marcus has a point that the current LLM paradigm is not accurate enough and reliable enough to get you to AGI...

If you keep instrumenting these technologies with enough data, enough compute, and you keep scaling them and you like, they're reliable enough that they can do.

I mean, if you're coding, if you're automating 90% of the code written at Anthropic, that's the stat, by the way.

So there you are in Anthropic.

It's automating 90% of all the programming happening at Anthropic.

That's right.

We are extremely close to recursive self-improvement right now.

The companies, I think, are planning to do this in the next 12 months.

The asteroid is coming for Earth.

This is the last moment that we have to steer and say that if we don't want this anti-human future that we're heading towards, we can change it.

And part of what we're promoting right now is this is not inevitable.

It is obviously very late in the game.
