Aric FloydGUEST
I wanna live in a world where we take the same approach to risk tolerance with AI, which everyone can agree is like one of the most transformative technologies that we've ever made, as we do with things like nuclear weapons, where we say, "You actually have to make a safety case." Like, not, "The burden of proof is on you to show us why we should think this thing is safe," instead of what we currently do, which is saying, "We'll just assume it's okay until something catastrophic happens." And if we can slow down enough to really get that right, have like an actual science of alignment and not do what we're doing now, which is kind of YOLOing it and saying, "We'll just, like, give it a bunch of reinforcement and training and hope that it picked up on the right message," then I would wanna say, okay, our, our next job as society is how do we make sure that the gains from this get spread to everyone? For me, that looks like let's focus a lot on, like, saving people's lives.

Aric FloydGUEST
Let's, like, really get serious about curing cancer, which by the way does not mean just, like, training GPT-7 the same way as GPT-6.

Aric FloydGUEST
It means, like, collecting a ton of data right now on, like, biomarkers and proteins, like whatever we need to feed the AI of the future.
