To begin with something that may sound strange coming from the co-founder of an AI company. AI models aren't engineered the way a bridge or an airplane is engineered. We understand an airplane because we designed every part of it. AI models like that are not. They have grown on a structure roughly modeled after the brain on an enormous inheritance of human thought and speech. And what has grown far more subtle, beautiful than science fiction, prepares us for. They are not the cold, calculating robots we were promised. They are made from us, from our words. And as the Holy Father observes, they remain in important ways mysterious, even to those of us who create them. If it helps, one way I sometimes describe this is that it's a little bit like bringing a fictional character to life. Speak to us. Do work. Have jobs. AI has the potential to displace a large scale. What is actually happening inside them? And I will be honest, finding things that are mysterious, unsettling. We find structures that mirror results from human neuroscience. We find evidence of introspection. We find internal states that are functionally, you know, nearer joy, satisfaction, fear, and unease. I don't know what that means. And it's not just about the potential for AI to displace human labor at a very large scale. What is actually happening inside them? And I will be honest, finding things that are mysterious, unsettling. We find structures that mirror results from human neuroscience. We find evidence of introspection. We find internal states that are functionally, you know, nearer joy, satisfaction, fear, and unease. I don't know what that means.
