00:00:00
It is not a biological being. It is not
00:00:04
alien. It is not conscious. It is
00:00:08
computer software. We say things like we
00:00:11
don't understand it at all. It is not
00:00:13
true. We understand a lot of things
00:00:14
about this technology.
00:00:15
>> If you were in the seat in the boardroom
00:00:18
of Anthropic over that whole scuttlebutt
00:00:21
with the department of war, what would
00:00:23
do you think you would have told Daario
00:00:24
and that team to do maybe differently to
00:00:26
try to change some of this outcome and
00:00:27
some of this perception? The first thing
00:00:29
that I would say about anthropic is
00:00:30
first of all the technology is
00:00:31
incredible. We are a large consumer of
00:00:34
anthropic technology. Yeah. The desire
00:00:36
to warn people about the capability of
00:00:38
the technology is also really terrific.
00:00:41
We just have to make sure that we
00:00:43
understand that the world has a spectrum
00:00:44
and that warning is good, scaring is
00:00:47
less good because this technology is too
00:00:49
important to us. I think that it is fine
00:00:51
to predict the future but we need to be
00:00:53
a little bit more circumspect. We need
00:00:55
to have a little bit more humility that
00:00:57
in fact we can't completely predict the
00:00:59
future and to say things that are quite
00:01:01
extreme, quite catastrophic, that
00:01:04
there's no evidence of it happening
00:01:05
could be more damaging than people
00:01:07
think. And of course we are technology
00:01:09
leaders, there was a time when nobody
00:01:11
listened to us. Yeah.
00:01:12
>> Um but now because technology is so
00:01:15
important in the social fabric, such an
00:01:17
important industry, so important to
00:01:19
national security, our words do matter.
00:01:21
And I think we have to be much more
00:01:22
circumspect. We have to be more
00:01:23
moderate. We have to be more balanced.
