Ethics
Jason Warner also touches on the ethical concerns in deploying AI models, using Q Star as an example. He describes how Poolside, his company, is experimenting with autonomous code writing through deconstructed semantic trees. This approach mirrors some of the methodologies rumored to be used by OpenAI's Q Star, emphasizing the importance of ethical considerations in AI research and deployment.
The advantage that you're describing with taking a similar approach to code is that you don't need to have, because you already have it, you have way more abundant data, orders and orders of magnitude more abundant data.
