  1. Our readingGenerative models will let us build media a person genuinely cannot look away from, and that is the likeliest way humanity ends.

    Their wordsWe’re actually going to build that, I think, but it’s not going to be one static tape. I think the human brain is too complex to be stuck in one static tape like that. If you look at ant brains, maybe they can be stuck on a static tape, but we’re going to build that using generative models. We’re going to build the TikTok that you actually can’t look away from.

  3. Our readingWe will build superintelligence long before we build anything as robust as a bird, because nothing we have built can survive in nature at all.

    Their wordsI think we’re going to build super intelligence before we build any sort of robustness in the AI. We cannot build an AI that is capable of going out into nature and surviving like a bird. A bird is an incredibly robust organism. We’ve built nothing like this. We haven’t built a machine that’s capable of reproducing.

  5. Our readingAI safety advocates will build the very thing they fear: one controlled, aligned model is the only route to being turned into paperclips.

    Their wordsWhat’s ironic about all these AI safety people is they’re going to build the exact thing they fear. We need to have one model that we control and align. This is the only way you end up paper clipped. There’s no way you end up paper clipped if everybody has an AI.

  7. Our readingAn AI you rent from a big company in the cloud is fundamentally aligned to that company and not to you, which is why the hardware has to be yours.

    the cloud

    Their wordsOf course, when you talk to an AI that’s made by a big company in the cloud, the AI fundamentally is aligned to them, not to you. And that’s why you have to buy a tiny box. So you make sure the AI stays aligned to you.
