"There is a real possibility that AI will displace human labor at very large scale."

"If AI models are going to be widespread"

"we keep finding things that are mysterious, even unsettling. We find structures that mirror results from human neuroscience. We find evidence of introspection. We find internal states that functionally mirror joy, satisfaction, fear, grief, and unease."
