I mean, it seems like there are a lot of moving parts here.
There's a lot of things that are uncertain.
There's a lot of debate over, like...
the trends that you're describing, when things are going to begin slowing down, how capable our AI systems will be at the point at which things start slowing down.
And I think it strikes me, just kind of moving this back to the book itself, that what people can do with their careers to make things go well really depends on whether they have three years or 30 years to act before things just start going crazy.
So how do you write a book of career advice at a time like this?
And how can you make the advice actually useful?
Like why people think that it's useful?
Yeah, it's simply you just got to do the math.
How should people work out where they should be kind of optimizing, like what worlds they should be trying to be optimizing their efforts for?
Like, how do you go about that thinking process?
Right.
So my understanding is that the book itself takes sort of all things considered view where it's like you kind of do the averaging out across the possibilities and then you try to provide people the most useful advice with all those things taken into consideration.
And what you kind of come to is that
At this sort of moment in history, it seems like the sort of top, top options you recommend people work on are just various challenges in AI.
So in particular, I think you highlight the chance of loss of control of AI systems and kind of protecting ourselves against losing control of AI systems.
as they become more autonomous.
And the other one being protecting against AI, just extremely concentrating power into the hands of just a few people.
But you do mention other problems that the world is facing that are also useful to be working on at this time, all things considered.
It's kind of stepping back.
