I would advocate for a kind of CERN for AGI, and by that, I mean a kind of international research-focused high-end collaboration on the frontiers of AGI development to try and make that as safe as possible. You would also have to pair it with a kind... more Unverified source (2025)

Yeah, I think those systems would be right on the boundary. So I think most emergent systems, cellular automata, things like that could be model-able by a classical system. You just sort of do a forward simulation of it and it’d probably be efficient... more Unverified source

Assuming we steward it safely and responsibly into the world, and obviously we’re trying to play our part in that, then we should be in a world of what I sometimes call radical abundance. [...] It should lead to incredible productivity and therefore ... more Unverified source (2025)

We must take the risks of AI as seriously as other major global challenges, like climate change. It took the international community too long to coordinate an effective global response to this, and we’re living with the consequences of that now. We c... more Unverified source (2023)

Maybe. I mean, maybe we have to evolve to something else that's better, I don’t know. Like, there's some problems with democracy too. It's not a panacea by any means. I think it was Churchill who said that it's the least-worst form of government, som... more Unverified source (2025)
