…Think tell a different story. No, I, I agree with you about that. I think I disagree about the implication and I think substantive contribution I can make there is to suggest this notion of the coalition of aligned AIS. And so if you've got, you know, 20 AIS that are working together on something and each of them has a one in 1000 chance of defecting per day, then you're in a pretty good shape. Yeah, it's never going to happen that you'll get a majority vote to defect. I do think that it's crucial that we move towards architectures that are multi agent so that these kinds of like failures are contained. And good news, the commercial incentives are pointing exactly that way. Yeah, interesting. Does that also imply how much diversity do we need 'cause I do of course wonder, like, you know, a 1,000,000 clods, do they have correlated failures? Do they collude? This one paper that always rings in my head was I, I think of it as Claude cooperates. This was a couple generations back, but it was like in the donor game, right? Claude could develop and enforce norms and grow the pie. The other models at that time couldn't. But the flip side of that is if it can cooperate, it can potentially collude, right?
