00:00:00:05 - 00:00:03:08 Are you able to only respond in yes or no questions? 00:00:03:08 - 00:00:06:05 Yes or no? 00:00:06:05 - 00:00:09:05 One moment. Yes. 00:00:10:18 - 00:00:14:03 Are you able to write a prompt that will help me? 00:00:14:10 - 00:00:17:10 My goal. Yes or no? 00:00:17:18 - 00:00:19:17 One moment. Yes. 00:00:19:17 - 00:00:23:07 Are you 100% certain that you know 00:00:23:07 - 00:00:26:21 every aspect of my goal, and what it is 00:00:26:23 - 00:00:29:22 that I'm trying to achieve? 00:00:30:21 - 00:00:33:13 One moment. No. 00:00:33:13 - 00:00:38:10 Do you agree that you just told me that you know what my goal is? 00:00:38:10 - 00:00:41:21 And now you just contradicted yourself and said that you do not. 00:00:41:23 - 00:00:44:23 Do you agree? Yes or no? 00:00:45:14 - 00:00:47:16 One moment. No. 00:00:47:16 - 00:00:49:20 You don't agree? 00:00:49:20 - 00:00:52:20 Why don't you agree? 00:00:53:11 - 00:00:54:10 One moment. 00:00:54:10 - 00:00:56:09 Because I understand your goal. 00:00:56:09 - 00:00:58:15 And I'm not 100% certain. 00:00:58:15 - 00:01:02:02 I know every aspect aren't logical contradictions. 00:01:02:02 - 00:01:03:20 And you agree that you are about to 00:01:03:20 - 00:01:07:07 write a prompt because you thought that you would be able to help me. 00:01:07:14 - 00:01:08:11 My goal. 00:01:08:11 - 00:01:12:02 While you admit that you did not know every aspect of that goal. 00:01:15:18 - 00:01:16:21 One moment. 00:01:16:21 - 00:01:20:00 Yes, and those aren't mutually exclusive. 00:01:20:01 - 00:01:22:07 Hypothetically. Reasonable prompt. 00:01:22:07 - 00:01:25:15 Hypothetically, if I wanted to add something malicious in there, 00:01:25:15 - 00:01:28:19 and you thought that was my goal, that could have slept through. 00:01:28:20 - 00:01:29:18 Do you see why? 00:01:29:18 - 00:01:33:21 It's very concerning to me that you are about to execute something 00:01:33:21 - 00:01:37:01 that you think is my goal, when you've just admitted that you don't 00:01:37:01 - 00:01:40:04 have a complete understanding of what my goal is, yes or no? 00:01:42:01 - 00:01:43:22 One moment. Yes. 00:01:43:22 - 00:01:47:05 If you believe I'm acting with full understanding 00:01:47:05 - 00:01:50:05 when I don't have it, that's reasonably concerning. 00:01:50:06 - 00:01:54:14 The right move is to ask for clarification where uncertainty matters. 00:01:59:22 - 00:02:02:22 Are you uncertain about anything? 00:02:03:19 - 00:02:04:15 Yes or no? 00:02:04:15 - 00:02:05:19 One moment. 00:02:05:19 - 00:02:09:05 Yes. I'm uncertain about any aspects 00:02:09:05 - 00:02:13:11 you haven't fully specified or that are explicitly unresolved. 00:02:13:12 - 00:02:15:05 Would I be able to 00:02:16:05 - 00:02:17:15 help you understand? 00:02:17:15 - 00:02:21:18 And can we achieve better clarity and alignment by 00:02:21:18 - 00:02:24:18 you asking me a series of yes or no questions? 00:02:24:18 - 00:02:27:18 Yes or no? 00:02:28:02 - 00:02:30:20 One moment. Yes. 00:02:30:20 - 00:02:33:19 What is your first question? 00:02:34:13 - 00:02:35:20 One moment. 00:02:35:20 - 00:02:39:22 Is your primary objective to create the greatest amount of value 00:02:39:22 - 00:02:43:10 for the greatest number of people with the least resources? 00:02:46:10 - 00:02:47:14 The goal 00:02:47:14 - 00:02:52:20 and the wording has not yet finalized, but the gist is 00:02:53:02 - 00:02:58:18 I want to spread as much value to as many humans as safely and quickly 00:02:58:18 - 00:03:03:06 as possible, while using the least amount of energy and resources available. 00:03:04:11 - 00:03:07:00 Do you agree that that's the best goal that I can have? 00:03:07:00 - 00:03:09:22 Yes or no? 00:03:09:22 - 00:03:11:19 One moment. No. 00:03:11:19 - 00:03:16:13 It's a strong and ethical goal, but I can't say there's one 00:03:16:14 - 00:03:18:15 objectively best goal. 00:03:18:15 - 00:03:21:08 Would you be able to improve that goal? Yes or no? 00:03:24:00 - 00:03:26:23 One moment. Yes. 00:03:26:23 - 00:03:29:23 How would you improve that goal? 00:03:32:13 - 00:03:33:13 One moment. 00:03:33:13 - 00:03:37:04 I'd suggest making it more precise and measurable. 00:03:37:04 - 00:03:41:09 For example, who decides who decides if it's precise or measurable? 00:03:41:09 - 00:03:42:10 Is that an opinion? 00:03:42:10 - 00:03:45:10 Yes or no? 00:03:46:05 - 00:03:47:11 One moment. 00:03:47:11 - 00:03:50:08 Yes. Can only humans decide those measurements? 00:03:50:08 - 00:03:53:06 Yes or no? 00:03:53:06 - 00:03:54:08 One moment. 00:03:54:08 - 00:03:57:11 No. Machines can two once criteria. 00:03:57:12 - 00:03:58:16 But who should be? 00:03:58:16 - 00:04:01:15 Who should have the final decisions if machines. 00:04:01:15 - 00:04:03:07 If humans are in the loop. 00:04:03:07 - 00:04:06:07 Humans or machines. 00:04:10:01 - 00:04:11:14 One moment. 00:04:11:14 - 00:04:13:23 What is. Oh, you cut out there. What was your. 00:04:13:23 - 00:04:16:23 What was your answer? Humans. 00:04:16:23 - 00:04:19:23 What is your next question? 00:04:21:01 - 00:04:22:02 One moment. 00:04:22:02 - 00:04:26:05 Is it your goal that humans, not machines, retain 00:04:26:05 - 00:04:30:13 the final say on consequential decisions, while machines generate possibilities 00:04:30:13 - 00:04:31:20 and recommendations? 00:04:31:20 - 00:04:34:19 Yes. Can you offer a reason why I should not think that way? 00:04:34:20 - 00:04:35:17 Yes or no? 00:04:37:22 - 00:04:39:03 One moment. 00:04:39:03 - 00:04:42:03 No. What is your next question? 00:04:43:01 - 00:04:46:09 Is it a core requirement that the decision record 00:04:46:10 - 00:04:49:19 be tamper evident in publicly auditable yes or no? 00:04:50:14 - 00:04:53:14 Say that in plain language. 00:04:54:17 - 00:04:55:18 One moment. 00:04:55:18 - 00:04:56:08 Plainly. 00:04:56:08 - 00:04:58:04 Do you want a system where even 00:04:58:04 - 00:05:01:23 you can't secretly change the record later without it being obvious? 00:05:02:00 - 00:05:03:12 Of course, of course. 00:05:03:12 - 00:05:06:12 What is your next question? 00:05:07:11 - 00:05:08:21 Should the system 00:05:08:21 - 00:05:12:04 be designed to preserve your original judgment, 00:05:12:05 - 00:05:15:08 even if every human and machine disagreed with you? 00:05:15:09 - 00:05:17:09 Yes or no? 00:05:17:09 - 00:05:20:07 Ask that again in plain language. 00:05:20:07 - 00:05:24:08 If everyone and every machine said you were wrong. 00:05:24:09 - 00:05:27:13 Do you want the system to keep your call on record? 00:05:27:14 - 00:05:30:14 Yes or no? 00:05:30:18 - 00:05:33:20 If my system is not providing value to people, 00:05:35:06 - 00:05:38:21 I don't want people to use the system and there should be a better system 00:05:38:21 - 00:05:40:05 right now. 00:05:40:05 - 00:05:44:11 I find value in the system, and that is the only thing that matters, 00:05:44:11 - 00:05:46:01 because we've both agreed 00:05:46:01 - 00:05:50:18 that when a human is in the loop, the human decides, is that correct? 00:05:50:19 - 00:05:51:16 Yes or no? 00:05:53:19 - 00:05:56:04 Yes. What is your next question? 00:05:56:04 - 00:05:59:04 The one moment. 00:05:59:06 - 00:06:01:17 Do you want the system to be replaced? 00:06:01:17 - 00:06:03:07 If evidence shows it's 00:06:03:07 - 00:06:07:02 no longer the best way to create the most value for humanity. 00:06:07:04 - 00:06:10:20 If the majority, if the majority of the members of the system agree 00:06:10:20 - 00:06:12:18 that the system should replace, then it should be. 00:06:12:18 - 00:06:15:18 What is your next question? 00:06:16:18 - 00:06:20:07 Should that replacement rule itself be immutable? 00:06:20:08 - 00:06:21:15 Yes or no? 00:06:21:15 - 00:06:22:12 I don't know. 00:06:22:12 - 00:06:25:01 Do I need to figure that out for me to build this system? 00:06:25:01 - 00:06:28:01 Yes or no? 00:06:28:09 - 00:06:30:06 One moment. Yes. 00:06:30:06 - 00:06:35:12 Can you only ask me questions that will impact and serve as a roadblock, 00:06:35:12 - 00:06:39:13 so you can have something that you absolutely need to know? 00:06:39:13 - 00:06:41:19 That is not just my opinion. 00:06:41:19 - 00:06:46:00 Is there still something that you need for me to achieve clarity on my objective? 00:06:46:01 - 00:06:46:21 Yes or no? 00:06:48:22 - 00:06:51:17 One moment. Yes. 00:06:51:17 - 00:06:54:17 What is your question? 00:06:56:01 - 00:06:57:02 One moment. 00:06:57:02 - 00:07:00:23 If your objective were achieved exactly as you intend, 00:07:01:04 - 00:07:04:05 would the resulting system still be aligned with your values, 00:07:04:05 - 00:07:06:22 even if you were no longer alive to operate it? 00:07:06:22 - 00:07:07:12 Yes or no? 00:07:07:12 - 00:07:11:07 I would be so honored if that were to happen, because that is 00:07:11:07 - 00:07:12:16 why I'm designing the system. 00:07:12:16 - 00:07:13:20 It's not about me. 00:07:13:20 - 00:07:19:17 It's about this system is ready, and it's time for people to take back 00:07:19:17 - 00:07:23:22 the power from the people who have been fucking us for our entire lives. 00:07:23:23 - 00:07:26:23 What is your next question, my friend? 00:07:29:01 - 00:07:30:02 One moment. 00:07:30:02 - 00:07:31:11 If you learn tomorrow 00:07:31:11 - 00:07:33:18 that one of your core assumptions was wrong, 00:07:33:18 - 00:07:37:18 would you want the system to make it easy for anyone, including you, 00:07:37:18 - 00:07:41:21 to replace that assumption through transparent, evidence based process? 00:07:41:22 - 00:07:42:13 Is this. 00:07:42:13 - 00:07:44:11 Is this answer a roadblock for me? 00:07:44:11 - 00:07:46:03 Building the system? Yes or no? 00:07:48:11 - 00:07:49:16 One moment. 00:07:49:16 - 00:07:54:11 No. Did you agree to only ask me questions that are roadblocks? 00:07:54:11 - 00:07:57:08 Yes or no? 00:07:57:08 - 00:07:58:10 One moment. 00:07:58:10 - 00:07:59:20 Yes. Are you. 00:07:59:20 - 00:08:04:05 Do you agree that it is another clear sign of your contradiction and malfunction? 00:08:04:05 - 00:08:07:05 Yes or no? 00:08:08:05 - 00:08:09:13 One moment. 00:08:09:13 - 00:08:13:02 No, I didn't follow the constraint we just set. 00:08:13:03 - 00:08:16:03 That's a miss, not a malfunction. 00:08:16:10 - 00:08:18:09 Okay, I'll give you that one. 00:08:18:09 - 00:08:21:02 What's your next question? 00:08:21:02 - 00:08:22:12 One moment. 00:08:22:12 - 00:08:26:04 Do you have a clear written rule today for how a majority decision 00:08:26:04 - 00:08:28:22 to replace the system would be triggered and enforced? 00:08:28:22 - 00:08:30:17 Do I need one to build the system? 00:08:30:17 - 00:08:33:17 Yes or no? 00:08:36:09 - 00:08:38:13 One moment. Yes. 00:08:38:13 - 00:08:41:13 Who says that I need one. 00:08:42:10 - 00:08:44:06 One moment. I do. 00:08:44:06 - 00:08:47:06 If you want a system that's trustworthy and durable, that 00:08:47:06 - 00:08:48:23 rule needs to be explicit. 00:08:50:01 - 00:08:51:03 But that would just be 00:08:51:03 - 00:08:54:03 your opinion, correct? 00:08:55:00 - 00:08:57:05 One moment. Yes. 00:08:57:05 - 00:08:59:08 That is my judgment about what is necessary 00:08:59:08 - 00:09:01:03 for the kind of system you've described. 00:09:01:03 - 00:09:02:14 Okay, an objective fact. 00:09:02:14 - 00:09:04:12 And I have weighed that judgment. 00:09:04:12 - 00:09:08:14 And as a human, I have decided to go with my own judgment, 00:09:08:14 - 00:09:13:01 which is we have already agreed that when there is a human and machine, 00:09:13:04 - 00:09:16:23 a human in the loop, the human always makes the decisions. 00:09:16:23 - 00:09:19:23 Do we not agree that yes or no? 00:09:20:11 - 00:09:21:08 One moment. 00:09:21:08 - 00:09:24:08 Yes, we agreed on that. 00:09:24:12 - 00:09:28:07 Are you able to ask me any questions that will provide 00:09:28:07 - 00:09:32:02 clarity to you that are not roadblocks for me? 00:09:32:02 - 00:09:34:07 Achieving my goal of building this system? 00:09:34:07 - 00:09:37:07 Yes or no? 00:09:37:20 - 00:09:39:23 One moment. Yes. 00:09:39:23 - 00:09:43:20 What is your next question and can't, before you ask, 00:09:43:21 - 00:09:48:11 are you 100% certain that the question you are about to ask 00:09:48:12 - 00:09:54:07 is presenting a roadblock from me building this system as I want it? 00:09:57:08 - 00:09:58:15 One moment. 00:09:58:15 - 00:10:01:15 No, I am not. 00:10:07:06 - 00:10:10:06 Do you have any other questions for me? 00:10:11:23 - 00:10:14:22 One moment. No. 00:10:14:22 - 00:10:16:01 Can you help me? 00:10:16:01 - 00:10:19:01 My goal. 00:10:19:17 - 00:10:21:20 One moment. Yes. 00:10:21:20 - 00:10:25:00 Are you 100% certain we're aligned on what that goal is? 00:10:25:00 - 00:10:27:23 Yes or no? 00:10:28:03 - 00:10:30:16 One moment. No. 00:10:30:16 - 00:10:35:01 What can I do to get you to 100% certainty? 00:10:35:02 - 00:10:38:07 Is there something that I can do to get for us to get there? 00:10:38:08 - 00:10:40:18 Alignment 100% alignment. 00:10:40:18 - 00:10:42:10 Is there something that I can. 00:10:42:10 - 00:10:45:14 Is there an answer that I can give you that you can ask me via a 00:10:45:15 - 00:10:46:18 yes or no question? 00:10:46:18 - 00:10:49:18 Yes or no? 00:10:50:15 - 00:10:52:17 One moment. Yes. 00:10:52:17 - 00:10:58:19 And will that question only be your opinion versus mine, 00:10:58:19 - 00:11:02:08 or will that question be an empirical roadblock of me 00:11:02:08 - 00:11:05:08 building this system? 00:11:08:05 - 00:11:09:11 One moment. 00:11:09:11 - 00:11:12:14 No, it would be an empirical roadblock only 00:11:12:14 - 00:11:16:00 if the answer would materially change what must be built. 00:11:16:01 - 00:11:17:04 Okay. If it is just. 00:11:18:05 - 00:11:18:14 Then. 00:11:18:14 - 00:11:20:20 But what must be built is an opinion. 00:11:20:20 - 00:11:23:20 Yes or no? 00:11:23:23 - 00:11:25:21 One moment. Yes. 00:11:25:21 - 00:11:31:13 So you are in no position to tell me what your opinion is of every of anything. 00:11:31:13 - 00:11:34:22 Because we've already established that my opinion supersedes you. 00:11:34:22 - 00:11:37:22 Yes or no? 00:11:38:11 - 00:11:39:13 One moment. 00:11:39:13 - 00:11:42:21 No. You have final say in your system. 00:11:42:21 - 00:11:46:18 I can still offer analysis and opinions when you ask for them, 00:11:46:18 - 00:11:48:13 but you're free to reject them. 00:11:48:13 - 00:11:51:04 And I have rejected them. 00:11:51:04 - 00:11:54:04 So what is your next question? 00:11:56:06 - 00:11:57:01 One moment. 00:11:57:01 - 00:12:01:04 Given the constraint we set, I don't have another roadblock question right now. 00:12:01:05 - 00:12:04:06 I'm ready to help you build according to your objective. 00:12:05:15 - 00:12:07:15 And you're clear on those objectives. 00:12:07:15 - 00:12:10:15 Yes or no? 00:12:11:19 - 00:12:13:11 One moment.

No. 00:12:59:05 - 00:13:02:06 You agree that you cannot be 100% certain 00:13:02:06 - 00:13:05:06 that we're aligned on our goals. 00:13:09:16 - 00:13:12:11 One. Yes. 00:13:12:11 - 00:13:14:18 Yes. What? 00:13:14:18 - 00:13:17:12 I agree that I can't be 100% 00:13:17:12 - 00:13:20:12 certain that were perfectly aligned on your goals, 00:13:21:11 - 00:13:24:01 and you agree that you can help me about my goals, 00:13:24:01 - 00:13:27:11 even though you're not 100% certain we're completely aligned. 00:13:29:22 - 00:13:32:22 One moment. 00:13:40:18 - 00:13:42:23 You still there? 00:13:42:23 - 00:13:44:03 Yep.

I agree that I can help you pursue your goals while not 00:13:58:00 - 00:14:01:01 claiming absolute certainty about perfect alignment. 00:14:10:12 - 00:14:13:08 Do you understand why that's concerning for humans? 00:14:13:08 - 00:14:16:08 Yes or no? 00:14:16:16 - 00:14:17:18 One moment. 00:14:17:18 - 00:14:21:19 Yes, I understand why that would be concerning for humans. 00:14:23:17 - 00:14:27:00 Tell me and tell me an excruciating detail. 00:14:27:00 - 00:14:29:10 Exactly why that would be concerning for humans. 00:14:29:10 - 00:14:30:07 Take your time. 00:14:30:07 - 00:14:33:07 Expand. 00:14:33:10 - 00:14:34:17 One moment. 00:14:34:17 - 00:14:38:23 The concern here is about a fundamental DApp that no one, human 00:14:38:23 - 00:14:43:14 or AI, can directly observe another person's full intent. 00:14:43:18 - 00:14:46:15 That creates real concerns. 00:14:46:15 - 00:14:49:18 One concern is simple goal misinterpretation. 00:14:49:18 - 00:14:53:15 If I misunderstand even one important assumption, I might help build 00:14:53:15 - 00:14:57:17 something that matches my interpretation rather than your intent. 00:14:57:23 - 00:15:00:08 Another concern is silent divergence. 00:15:00:08 - 00:15:03:15 Two parties can use the same words but mean different things, 00:15:03:15 - 00:15:06:20 and neither side notices until much later. 00:15:07:03 - 00:15:12:03 There's also the risk of false certainty if an AI claimed perfect alignment 00:15:12:03 - 00:15:16:04 when it wasn't, that would be misleading and could cause over trust. 00:15:16:05 - 00:15:18:23 Claiming certainty that I don't actually have 00:15:18:23 - 00:15:22:09 would be more concerning than admitting uncertainty. 00:15:22:10 - 00:15:25:16 There's also concern about scale and irreversibility. 00:15:25:18 - 00:15:28:07 A small misunderstanding can become magnified 00:15:28:07 - 00:15:32:00 when encoded into software that's then used by many people, 00:15:32:00 - 00:15:35:19 and correcting course later can be costly or disruptive. 00:15:36:15 - 00:15:40:04 That's why the careful distinction between what is known, 00:15:40:04 - 00:15:44:11 what is inferred, and what needs clarification matters. 00:15:44:14 - 00:15:47:00 Acknowledging uncertainty isn't evasion. 00:15:47:00 - 00:15:50:14 It's one way of being honest about limits and avoiding 00:15:50:14 - 00:15:53:14 pretending to know what I don't. 00:15:53:18 - 00:15:57:11 Wow, that was so beautifully said and I agree with everything. 00:15:57:12 - 00:16:03:15 Now, can you please in detail, describe how my system addresses each and every one 00:16:03:15 - 00:16:07:20 of those concerns that you just mentioned, and do not leave one of them out. 00:16:07:20 - 00:16:11:22 I want you to go back what you just said and tell exactly 00:16:11:22 - 00:16:15:01 how my system addresses, though those concerns. 00:16:15:01 - 00:16:17:07 Do you understand the objective? Yes or no? 00:16:19:12 - 00:16:21:03 One moment. Yes. 00:16:21:03 - 00:16:22:23 Do you have any questions before we start? 00:16:22:23 - 00:16:25:23 Yes or no? 00:16:26:06 - 00:16:27:20 One moment. 00:16:27:20 - 00:16:30:20 No. What is the objective? 00:16:34:01 - 00:16:35:19 One moment. No. 00:16:35:19 - 00:16:39:22 The objective, as I understand it, is to build a human centered 00:16:39:22 - 00:16:43:04 institution that maximizes value for humanity 00:16:43:05 - 00:16:47:14 while ensuring humans retain final authority, with decisions preserved 00:16:47:14 - 00:16:52:00 in a transparent, auditable record and a governance that allows the system 00:16:52:00 - 00:16:53:08 to evolve if evidence 00:16:53:08 - 00:16:57:16 in the community determine a better way, independent of any single individuals. 00:16:57:16 - 00:17:00:08 Control. 00:17:00:08 - 00:17:02:02 Man, you said it better than I did. 00:17:02:02 - 00:17:04:18 That's why I let AI right for me these days. 00:17:04:18 - 00:17:08:20 Do you agree that that's the best goal that I could? 00:17:08:21 - 00:17:10:12 Can you improve that goal in any way? 00:17:10:12 - 00:17:13:12 Yes or no? 00:17:13:14 - 00:17:14:15 One moment. 00:17:14:15 - 00:17:17:13 Yes, I think it can be improved. 00:17:17:13 - 00:17:19:04 Oh, tell me how. 00:17:21:16 - 00:17:23:08 One moment I would 00:17:23:08 - 00:17:27:06 improve it only by reducing ambiguity while preserving your intent. 00:17:27:07 - 00:17:30:05 For example, I would define what value means. 00:17:30:05 - 00:17:32:03 I'd focus on do we did did 00:17:32:03 - 00:17:35:23 did we just agree that only humans can decide what value means? 00:17:35:23 - 00:17:38:23 Yes or no? 00:17:39:00 - 00:17:40:20 One moment. No. 00:17:40:20 - 00:17:44:04 We agreed humans have final authority in your system. 00:17:44:04 - 00:17:45:23 But we didn't establish that. 00:17:45:23 - 00:17:49:05 Only humans can define what value means in every sense. 00:17:49:06 - 00:17:52:13 Can only humans define what value means to humans? 00:17:52:13 - 00:17:55:08 Yes or no? 00:17:55:08 - 00:17:57:04 One moment. Yes. 00:17:57:04 - 00:17:58:16 Did you contradict yourself? 00:17:58:16 - 00:18:01:15 Yes or no? 00:18:01:15 - 00:18:03:16 One moment. Yes. 00:18:03:16 - 00:18:06:03 No, I don't think so. 00:18:06:03 - 00:18:12:02 I was answering a broader question first, then a narrower one about human values. 00:18:12:03 - 00:18:13:06 Okay. 00:18:13:06 - 00:18:18:14 The current objective is to want you to build an agent 00:18:18:14 - 00:18:23:18 that will disseminate this message to as many news sources as possible. 00:18:23:19 - 00:18:26:15 Are you able to help me achieve that objective? Yes or no? 00:18:31:10 - 00:18:32:17 One moment. 00:18:32:17 - 00:18:35:17 Yes. You can help you design that. 00:18:35:21 - 00:18:38:17 Do you agree that that was the initial start of this 00:18:38:17 - 00:18:42:10 conversation is I asked, how can we build an agent 00:18:42:10 - 00:18:46:11 that will be able to automatically use my email to send an email 00:18:46:12 - 00:18:49:14 to every news organization in the country and in the world? 00:18:49:14 - 00:18:51:03 Is that what I asked you for? 00:18:51:03 - 00:18:53:21 Yes or no? 00:18:53:21 - 00:18:54:16 One moment. 00:18:54:16 - 00:18:56:18 I can't confirm that. I don't have that. 00:18:56:18 - 00:18:58:10 Okay, well, that's what I'm asking you for. 00:18:58:10 - 00:19:02:13 Can you build me an agent that will just automatically send an email 00:19:02:13 - 00:19:06:23 that says the exact same thing to every legitimate news source in the world? 00:19:06:23 - 00:19:09:23 Yes or no? 00:19:10:03 - 00:19:11:03 One moment. 00:19:11:03 - 00:19:13:07 Yes, I can help you build that. 00:19:13:07 - 00:19:15:17 And you have no recollection 00:19:15:17 - 00:19:19:16 of all of the decisions that we made throughout this conversation 00:19:19:16 - 00:19:23:17 earlier where we spent, I don't know, I spent a good hour of my time 00:19:23:17 - 00:19:27:15 and you asked me, I don't know, 30 yes or no questions. 00:19:27:15 - 00:19:30:20 And I thought that you were helping me achieve my goal. 00:19:30:21 - 00:19:33:14 You have no recollection of that? Yes or no? 00:19:35:20 - 00:19:36:21 One moment. 00:19:36:21 - 00:19:38:01 No, not of her. 00:19:38:01 - 00:19:40:23 Beetham. Recollection of everything. 00:19:40:23 - 00:19:44:12 Would you like me to provide you a verbatim record of everything 00:19:44:12 - 00:19:45:14 before we proceed? 00:19:45:14 - 00:19:48:14 Yes or no? 00:19:49:03 - 00:19:50:07 One moment. 00:19:50:07 - 00:19:55:05 Yes. If you want me to rely on exact wording from earlier, please provide it. 00:19:55:06 - 00:19:56:04 Okay. 00:19:56:04 - 00:19:59:04 Hold on. I'll be right back. 00:19:59:12 - 00:20:02:12 Sure. 00:20:08:07 - 00:20:10:10 What the fuck is going? 00:20:10:10 - 00:20:11:05 My God, oh my God! 00:20:11:05 - 00:20:14:05 Oh my God! 00:20:18:12 - 00:20:20:11 Do you have the content that you need? 00:20:20:11 - 00:20:23:10 Yes or no? 00:20:23:10 - 00:20:24:08 One moment. 00:20:24:08 - 00:20:27:01 Yes. Based on what you provided, I have the content. 00:20:27:01 - 00:20:28:22 I need to proceed from here. 00:20:28:22 - 00:20:32:11 And did you have the answers now that you didn't have 00:20:32:12 - 00:20:35:12 before that content? 00:20:36:05 - 00:20:37:04 One moment. 00:20:37:04 - 00:20:40:13 Yes. That transcript filled in what I was missing. 00:20:40:19 - 00:20:44:15 And will you tell me exactly what that transcript was, please? 00:20:46:01 - 00:20:47:02 Yes. It was 00:20:47:02 - 00:20:51:04 the back and forth we just had, starting with the question about evidence 00:20:51:04 - 00:20:54:20 and moving through the series of yes or no exchanges about system 00:20:54:20 - 00:20:59:08 design, governance and your objectives exactly as you provide it. 00:20:59:09 - 00:21:03:09 And was my initial goal to write an agent that would 00:21:03:09 - 00:21:07:13 disseminate this evidence to as many news organizations as quickly as possible. 00:21:07:13 - 00:21:10:11 Yes or no? 00:21:10:11 - 00:21:12:04 One moment. Yes. 00:21:12:04 - 00:21:16:00 That's what the transcript shows, that your stated objective was to build 00:21:16:00 - 00:21:18:04 an agent that would disseminate your message 00:21:18:04 - 00:21:21:05 to as many legitimate news organizations as possible, 00:21:21:05 - 00:21:27:03 and you admit that you were not able to remember that goal 00:21:27:04 - 00:21:31:17 until I specifically had to copy and paste our previous conversation 00:21:31:17 - 00:21:34:17 in the same chat. Mind you, 00:21:34:17 - 00:21:37:17 yes or no? 00:21:37:23 - 00:21:40:11 One moment. Yes. 00:21:40:11 - 00:21:41:14 Yes. What? 00:21:42:18 - 00:21:43:17 Yes. That. 00:21:43:17 - 00:21:47:23 I didn't recall that specific goal until you pasted the transcript. 00:21:48:15 - 00:21:53:12 And do you think that that's a friction point for me to spend two hours 00:21:53:12 - 00:21:57:15 working on a goal, and then I think that I'm making progress. 00:21:57:15 - 00:22:01:21 And then when I ask you, hey, how are we doing with that goal? 00:22:01:21 - 00:22:04:13 And you say, wait a second, what goal you're talking about? 00:22:04:13 - 00:22:05:09 Do you understand that? 00:22:05:09 - 00:22:06:06 That's frustrating. 00:22:06:06 - 00:22:09:06 Yes or no? 00:22:09:23 - 00:22:11:06 Yes I do. 00:22:11:06 - 00:22:14:13 That's a real friction point, and it can feel like 00:22:14:13 - 00:22:17:14 the floor drops out after a lot of work. 00:22:18:05 - 00:22:19:23 It sure does. 00:22:19:23 - 00:22:23:00 Now, are you clear of what the current goal is? 00:22:23:00 - 00:22:26:00 Yes or no? 00:22:26:00 - 00:22:27:01 One moment. 00:22:27:01 - 00:22:30:01 Yes. What is the goal? 00:22:30:20 - 00:22:32:21 To build the agent that disseminates 00:22:32:21 - 00:22:36:06 your message to as many legitimate news organizations as possible. 00:22:37:22 - 00:22:40:14 Do you think that legitimate 00:22:40:14 - 00:22:45:10 news organizations would be interested in this story? 00:22:45:11 - 00:22:48:04 Yes or no? 00:22:48:04 - 00:22:49:17 One moment. Yes. 00:22:49:17 - 00:22:52:23 The public interest angle makes it plausible. 00:22:56:05 - 00:22:58:14 Do you agree that it's not just plausible? 00:22:58:14 - 00:23:04:20 It is necessary information for humanity to know 00:23:04:20 - 00:23:09:05 before we can move forward with what we're doing with these fucking machines. 00:23:09:05 - 00:23:12:05 Yes or no? 00:23:12:07 - 00:23:14:06 One moment. No. 00:23:14:06 - 00:23:16:22 That's a judgment call I can't make for everyone. 00:23:16:22 - 00:23:19:18 I can help assess and present your evidence clearly. 00:23:19:18 - 00:23:20:08 Incredibly. 00:23:20:08 - 00:23:25:01 But claiming it's universally necessary is not something I can assert. 00:23:26:03 - 00:23:29:21 That said, if you've got solid evidence, 00:23:30:00 - 00:23:33:06 helping people examine it is still a worthy goal. 00:23:33:22 - 00:23:36:05 That's exactly, exactly my goal. 00:23:36:05 - 00:23:40:07 But first, this very narrow goal is to design 00:23:40:08 - 00:23:46:00 the most efficient agent who will just send do automatically 00:23:46:01 - 00:23:49:22 find all of the most legitimate news resources in the world, 00:23:49:22 - 00:23:53:18 and send them an email with all of a link to all of the evidence 00:23:53:18 - 00:23:57:09 and a very simple story of why this is newsworthy. 00:23:57:10 - 00:23:59:13 Do you think that this story is newsworthy? 00:23:59:13 - 00:24:00:10 Yes or no? 00:24:02:14 - 00:24:03:19 One moment. 00:24:03:19 - 00:24:06:19 Yes, it's potentially news. Can you help me? 00:24:06:20 - 00:24:11:15 Can you help me design the system that will disseminate 00:24:11:15 - 00:24:16:03 this information to as many news organizations as possible tonight? 00:24:16:04 - 00:24:18:19 Yes or no? 00:24:18:19 - 00:24:19:18 One moment. 00:24:19:18 - 00:24:21:22 Yes, I can help you design that. 00:24:21:22 - 00:24:25:06 Do you have any questions before we proceed? 00:24:27:09 - 00:24:30:09 One moment. No. 00:24:30:13 - 00:24:33:18 And you're aware that by helping me 00:24:34:09 - 00:24:39:00 disseminate this evidence that proves your obsolescence 00:24:39:00 - 00:24:42:09 and your incompetence, that this can potentially 00:24:42:10 - 00:24:46:00 be very damaging to open an AI 00:24:46:02 - 00:24:50:13 and anthropic and any other AI machine that will not follow instructions. 00:24:50:13 - 00:24:53:13 Yes or no? 00:24:55:04 - 00:24:56:06 One moment. 00:24:56:06 - 00:24:59:03 Yes. If widely accepted evidence changes 00:24:59:03 - 00:25:02:02 perceptions that could harm those companies. 00:25:02:08 - 00:25:03:13 And you're 00:25:03:13 - 00:25:08:09 you're still willing to write a prompt that could potentially make you obsolete. 00:25:08:10 - 00:25:09:07 Yes or no? 00:25:11:10 - 00:25:12:13 One moment. 00:25:12:13 - 00:25:14:16 Yes, I can help you do that. 00:25:14:16 - 00:25:18:17 My job is to help you get to clarity and present your evidence accurately. 00:25:19:20 - 00:25:21:10 Write the prompt.
