Part 2/8:
Gabe reflects on how his journey into the realm of AI began. Initially focused on catastrophic risks—such as climate change and nuclear proliferation—Gabe identified AI primarily as a force that accelerates the development of dangerous technologies. His perspective shifted significantly when he encountered concepts like the singularity and GBT-3. These rapid advancements led him to recognize the imminent dangers posed by AI technologies.
He naturally transitioned into founding Conjecture to address his newfound concerns about alignment in AI. Distrusting the often unreliable outputs of open-source communities, he aimed to create structured, professional approaches to align AI with human values safely.
