  1. Our readingContinual learning will probably be solved within a year or two, but the trillions of dollars do not depend on solving it.

    Their wordsI think the trillions of dollars a year market, maybe all of the national security implications and the safety implications that I wrote about in adolescence of technology can happen without it, but I I I also think we, and I imagine others, are working on it. And I think there's a good chance that that, you know, that we get there within the next year or two.

  3. Our readingBanning state AI regulation for ten years with no federal rule to replace it is a crazy thing to do, because ten years is an eternity.

    Their wordsgiven the serious dangers that I lay out in adolescence of technology around things like the you know, kind of biological weapons and bioterrorism, autonomy risk and the timelines we've been talking about, like 10 years is an eternity. Like that's that's a that's a I I think that's a crazy thing to do.

  5. Our readingTraining a model on principles rather than a list of rules is not an ideology but an empirical finding: its behaviour is more consistent and covers edge cases.

    Their wordsit's it's kind of purely a practical and empirical thing that we've observed that by teaching the model principles, getting it to learn from principles, its behavior is more consistent, it's easier to cover edge cases, and the model is more likely to do what people want it to do.

  7. Our readingAnthropic now uses mechanistic interpretability techniques to audit new models for deception and scheming before releasing them.

    Anthropic

    Their wordsEven more recently, we’ve begun to use mechanistic interpretability techniques to improve our safeguards and to conduct “audits” of new models before we release them, looking for evidence of deception, scheming, power-seeking, or a propensity to behave differently when being evaluated.

  9. Our readingIt is unacceptable to deploy AI systems central to the economy and national security while remaining ignorant of how they work.

    Their wordsThese systems will be absolutely central to the economy, technology, and national security, and will be capable of so much autonomy that I consider it basically unacceptable for humanity to be totally ignorant of how they work.
