It also reported that three other vessels hit naval mines west of the Strait of Hormuz overnight, causing fires and forcing them to stop.

Something one way or the other will happen fairly soon.

Most people seem to think it’s after the election.

We’re gonna see what happens.

Pakistan and Qatar are trying to revive nuclear negotiations, offering sanctions relief and access to frozen funds in exchange for concessions.

I do think there's at least some percentage chance of it being an existential threat. But there's nothing I can do to stop it.

So I basically came to the conclusion I've got two choices, which is either be a participant or a spectator.

Being a participant is more interesting than being a spectator, and maybe I can shape it, hopefully in a good direction.

There's a lot of talk of having a regulatory agency, but the problem is that regulatory agencies take a long time to get established, and their rulemaking is very slow.

What if we just have a call once a week?

Maybe a week before we release a model, we give access to our competitors and say, "Why don't you try out the new model and see if you see any problems with it?"

I think competitors would keep each other honest in that situation.

If they say, "I was able to make a nuclear bomb with your AI," it's like, "Oh, we better fix that before we release it."

I came to the conclusion that there was no way we were going to solve the deficit from within the government.

Maybe if the president made that his primary goal, we could do that.

But the problem is, if you try to solve the deficit and stop wasteful spending, you make a lot of enemies.

And President Trump likes to be liked.

He doesn't like people being upset about some funding being stopped.

I think people will find ways to be happy, in the same way that people who retire seem to be fairly happy even though they're not working.

But the reality is that there won't be anything humans can do that AI and robots can't do better.

One analogy might be gardening. You don't have to grow your own fruits and vegetables. You can just buy them from the store.

But sometimes people like to grow their own fruits and vegetables and make dinner for friends. It's kind of a nice touch.

Once you have a robot that can manipulate atoms and shape objects, the value of intelligence becomes exponentially greater.

It could have a science lab, run experiments, and try to understand the nature of the universe.

I don't think money is going to matter in the future.

And I don't think even so-called wealthy people will ultimately control the AIs.

I think they'll control themselves.
