We could even reach a point where resources are no longer the limiting factor for human progress, leading to an amazing new era of abundance.

We are standing in the foothills of the singularity. [...] I think what we're seeing is soft self-improvement, in the sense of these coding agents are making engineers much more productive.

So I think we'll solve it if we get our act together, we do this internationally, put all the best minds on it, we get going now... And I think given sufficient time with sufficient brain power — I believe in human ingenuity — I think we'll get this ...

Not explicitly. But it may happen implicitly. These systems might acquire some feeling of self-awareness. That is possible. I think it's important for these systems to understand you, self and other. And that's probably the beginning of something lik...

endowing rogue nations or terrorists with tools to synthesize a deadly virus. [...] keep the “weights” of the most powerful models out of the public’s hands.

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...

I sometimes talk about setting up an international CERN equivalent for AI where all the best minds in the world would collaborate together and do the final steps in a very rigorous scientific way involving all of society, maybe philosophers and socia...
