This almost sounds too simple, but like getting the capacity to have some type of off switch, because like right now we couldn't actually, there's not an easy way to actually just turn off a lot of computes quickly if there was like an autonomous AI replicating in a bunch of data centers.

One, I think you asked about if you have an AI application skill set, what's something valuable you could work on with that? And one broad area of things is if you think we're going to be facing these big risks, soon that are going to be caused by much more powerful AI, then one strategy you might want to take is think about how you can essentially use AI to address these problems because then your tools are getting better as the problems are getting more severe, they're growing in tandem.
