I strongly believe that once we achieve Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), the transition to superintelligence could occur rapidly. AGI has the potential to continuously improve upon its own design at an accelerating pace, leading to superintelligence that far surpasses human intelligence in all domains. This transformative event could unfold very quickly, creating a new era of cognitive capabilities.

While AI safety is undoubtedly important, dedicating a third of compute resources solely to it may stifle innovation and progress. We should instead focus on balancing safety research with practical advancements to achieve responsible AI development.

I believe neural interfaces have the potential to facilitate easier AI alignment by providing a more direct and intuitive way for humans to interact with AI systems. By leveraging the brain's natural communication pathways, we can create more effective feedback loops and ensure that AI operates in harmony with human values and intentions.
