And I started wondering, are there things that I can do, systems that I can put into place, that will prevent bad things from happening?
Inside the mind of a master procrastinator — Tim Urban · TED
is to recognize that under stress you're not going to be at your best, and you should put systems in place. And there's perhaps no more stressful a situation
Inside the mind of a master procrastinator — Tim Urban · TED
and one of the things that happens at that moment is a whole bunch on systems shut down. There's an evolutionary reason for this.

The idea is to think ahead to what those failures might be, to put systems in place that will help minimize the damage, or to prevent the bad things from happening in the first place.

Unlike algorithms, living systems are deeply embedded in flows of energy and matter, and they continually regenerate their own conditions for existence

Of course the stakes increase, and there are big challenges. But the way we learn how to build safe systems is this iterative process

this is something we have to address. And I think as we move into these agentic systems, there's a whole big category of new things we have to learn to address.

I might accept that as a definition of AGI. But the current systems, you can't say like, hey, go do this task for my job,

And then we kind of all said, OK, we’ll build anti-fraud systems, and we can get comfortable with this. I think people are going to be slow to get comfortable with agentic AI
