And you know, a lot of people saying, oh, the AIs are really dumb. It it sort of sounds to me like someone saying, you know, hey, I taught my horse to multiply numbers. And they're like, oh, that horse can only multiply five-digit numbers. It can't multiply 12-digit numbers. My calculator can multiply 12-digit numbers.
Clearly this training process for making horses smarter is like not going anywhere. And it's like, holy crap, guys, we got a horse to to multiply. What are we gonna do next? You know? And I think a lot of what people are missing about AI is this question of where are we gonna go next?
And now the good fight with Yasha Monk. The progress of artificial intelligence has been impressive and also scary. Do we actually know whether these AI systems are going to obey our commands? whether they have a will of their own. And once they reach superintelligence, are they going to pursue their own ends at any cost, including perhaps the destruction of humanity?
