Okay.
But I know what I was thinking and the kinds of things I've been saying.
So at that time I thought, well, first of all, like the Terminator scenario is ridiculous, yes?
Like time travel and stuff.
Okay, well, yeah, the time travel, yeah.
Yeah.
But also, it was clearly not reflective of the kind of actual risk, like we don't have robots and even less in 2019.
But more importantly, I think the main reason I was saying those things, well, is I was hiding behind the belief that it would be so far into the future that we could reap the benefits of AI well before we got to that point.
And...
why did I not pay attention or not that much attention to say the loss of control risk?
Because I've been exposed to it for more than a decade.
I've like, I've read some of the AI safety literature.
In 2019, I read Stuart Russell's book.
I have, you know, I had, you know,
David Kruger as a student and- He's very, very doomy, yeah.
He exposed me to these thoughts.
But remember, I was actively working on making AI smarter and you want to feel good about your work.
That's it, it's not money.
Yes.
And now it's interesting to ask me, why did I change my mind?
