This is a fantastic and really important conversation.

On Glasswing: I believe this represents a key opportunity to build meaningful self governance for frontier models, but it requires getting all the labs on board and building real partnerships with governance. What do you think it would take to get OpenAI and others on board?

I wrote some ideas on how to build from glasswing to full self regulation here:

I'm only halfway through, but really enjoying this one! Keep up the good work 💚 🥃

formal verification remains a pipe dream until automation handles the edge cases

No comments on the outro music yet? Killer.
