I don't know if I believe in fast takeoff. I don't think there's a hyperbolic singularity, right? A hyperbolic singularity would be achieved on a finite time horizon. I think it's just one big exponential. And the reason we have an exponential is that we have... More people, more resources, more intelligence being applied to advancing this science and the research and development.

And the more successful it is, the more value it's adding to society, the more resources we put in. And that's sort of similar to Moore's Law as a compounding. exponential. I think the priority to me is to maintain a near equilibrium of capabilities.

We've been fighting for open source AI to be more prevalent and championed by many organizations because there you sort of equilibrate the alpha relative to the market of AIs, right? So if The leading companies have a certain level of capabilities and open source and truly open AI trails not too far behind.

I think you avoid such a scenario where a market leader has so much market power, it just dominates everything and runs away. And so to us, that's the path forward, is to make sure that every hacker out there, every grad student, every...

kid in their mom's basement has access to, uh, you know, AI systems can understand how to, uh, uh, work with them and can contribute to the search over the hyper parameter space of how to engineer the systems, right? If you, if you think of, you know, our collective research as, as, as a civilization, it's really a search algorithm. And the more, uh,

points we have in the search algorithm, in this point cloud, the more we'll be able to explore new modes of thinking, right?

That's what we're trying to avoid. To me, I think another point of failure is the centralization of the supply chains for the hardware. We have NVIDIA is just the dominant player. AMD is trailing behind. And then we have TSMC as the main fab in Taiwan, which geopolitically... sensitive. And then we have ASML, which is the maker of the lithography, extreme ultraviolet lithography machines.
