Episode notes
AI As An Unchecked Global Arms Race
- AI development is an arms race between big labs and nation states racing to exceed human capability.
- Labs prioritize getting there first over asking if they should or how to control it.
Push For Guardrails And Global Standards
- Advocate for practical guardrails and international standards because nothing binding is currently in place.
- Support policy efforts and global coordination to slow unrestricted pursuit of superintelligence.

- Current large models are raw, unpredictable learners trained on vast internet data and we cannot fully predict their behavior.
- Increased capability makes them potentially uncontrollable and able to alter the planet if unrestricted.
