It's more like if the horse was lazily moving in the general direction of the wide open barn door and we are all sitting around discussing if we should close the door or just gamble that it's just going to lay down on the hay pile.

You mean that self improving AI is very far away? I'm not sure how much I believe that now it's solving Erdos problems?

Only if you think LLMs are the horse (I don't think they are). If they're not, then we should be building a brick wall in front of that door and hiring a full time security guard to watch it.
I realize he's saying it for hype, but if the CEO of the company goes around talking about how scared he is of what they're creating, hey, lets just take Dario at his word and put in some strict regulation. He won't mind if they're really about safety. (they're not)
Besides, yes, the knowledge of how to build these systems is out there, but the cost of doing it is staggeringly high (ie you can't run a frontier AI lab in your garage). There's only a limited number of known entities that need to be managed, and you can stop "progress" in its tracks by cutting off the money firehose.
