“But when I read Superintelligence by Nick Bostrom in around 2016, it really became real for me where he just describes how hard it will be to make sure that an AI system trained with the kinds of optimization techniques that we had at the time would be anywhere near aligned, would even understand our values at all.”

“The first one I mentioned before, Replacing Guilt by Nate Soares. Love that one. The second one is Good Strategy Bad Strategy by Richard Rumelt. Just thinking about in a very clear way, how do you build product? It's one of the best strategy books I've read and strategy is a hard word to even think about in many ways. And then the last one is The Alignment Problem by Brian Christian. Just really thoughtfully goes through what is this problem that we care about that we're trying to solve here? What are the stakes in a version that's more updated and easier to read and digest than superintelligence?”

“My brother works in the semiconductor industry and he was telling me that you can't actually shrink the size of the transistors anymore because the way semiconductors work is you dope silicon with other elements and the doping process would result in either zero or one atom of the doped elements inside a single fin because they're so, so, so tiny.”

“Yeah, so initially we thought that it would be sort of one or the other, but I think since then we've realized that it's actually kind of convex in the sense that working on one helps us with the other thing.”

“A tiny example of this is we published a computer using agent reference implementation in our API only because when we built a prototype of a consumer application for this, we couldn't figure out how to meet the safety bar that we felt was needed for people to trust it and for it not to do bad things.”
