Chris KoopmanGUEST
I think that you have – you have sort of three, I would say like three distinct groups of people who have all converged on this issue.

Chris KoopmanGUEST
In the one group, you have sort of, let's call them like traditional enviro groups that are worried about Resource use, worried about increasing energy consumption.

What is your suggestion for how to properly calibrate response to potential risks with also incorporating the benefits of AI? How do I take this stuff seriously when needed without losing our minds? What's the right balance?

Chris KoopmanGUEST
So I would say at the highest level, right? Like how do we respond in policy, but how do we respond as people, right? Who hear these things and as individuals, I would say we should take these incidents seriously, but take the forecasts lightly, right? These incidents have occurred.

Chris KoopmanGUEST
There are logs of them having occurred, but the forecasts were being given about where that takes us next.

Chris KoopmanGUEST
There's a clear track record there and they're consistently overblown and they're wrong.
