It is not a biological being. It is not alien. It is not conscious. It is computer software. We say things like we
00:00:11
don't understand it at all. It is not true. We understand a lot of things about this technology.
00:00:15
>> If you were in the seat in the boardroom of Anthropic over that whole scuttlebutt
00:00:21
with the department of war, what would do you think you would have told Daario and that team to do maybe differently to
00:00:26
try to change some of this outcome and some of this perception? The first thing that I would say about anthropic is
00:00:30
first of all the technology is incredible. We are a large consumer of anthropic technology. Yeah. The desire
00:00:36
to warn people about the capability of the technology is also really terrific. We just have to make sure that we
00:00:43
understand that the world has a spectrum and that warning is good, scaring is less good because this technology is too
00:00:49
important to us. I think that it is fine to predict the future but we need to be
00:00:53
a little bit more circumspect. We need to have a little bit more humility that in fact we can't completely predict the
00:00:59
future and to say things that are quite extreme, quite catastrophic, that there's no evidence of it happening
00:01:05
could be more damaging than people think. And of course we are technology leaders, there was a time when nobody
00:01:11
listened to us. Yeah. >> Um but now because technology is so important in the social fabric, such an
00:01:17
important industry, so important to national security, our words do matter. And I think we have to be much more
00:01:22
circumspect. We have to be more moderate. We have to be more balanced.
