“I think autonomy is one of the lines that we have to cross carefully. It’s possible that there will be such autonomous AIs, but it’s one of the areas like self-improving code, autonomy are areas that I pay a lot of attention to because right now, I’m — as you know — a huge advocate of its amplifying human capabilities and being a personal AI, being a copilot to the stuff that we’re doing.”

“Matter of fact, at the moment, if someone had said, “Hey, there’s a self-evolving bot that someone let in the wild,” I would say, “We should go capture it or kill it today.” Because we don’t know what the services are.”
