I think that in our case, we have sufficient compute to prove, to convince ourselves and anyone else, that what we are doing is correct.

I think there’s a lot of merit because it’s very nice to not be affected by the day-to-day market competition.

There’ll be very strong economic forces for this, and I think the impact is going to be felt very strongly.

What’s the good world? It’s where we have these powerful human-like learners that are also… By the way, maybe there’s another thing we haven’t discussed on the spec of the superintelligent AI that I think is worth considering.

I want to emphasize that I think the value function is something that’s going to make RL more efficient, and I think that makes a difference.

Basically I think that there is a big benefit from AI being in the public, and that would be a reason for us to not be quite straight shot.

I think eventual convergence on the technical approach is probably going to happen as well, but I was alluding to convergence to the alignment strategies.

There may be another blocker though, which is that there is a possibility that the human neurons do more compute than we think.

I think there will be a convergence of strategies where at some point, as AI becomes more powerful, it’s going to become more or less clearer to everyone what the strategy should be.

I think that relying on people to teach our models to do things, especially to make sure that they are well-behaved and they don't produce false things is an extremely sensible thing to do.
