Sure. “Crunch time” is not exactly a technically precise term, and it is quite likely our time is measured in decades. The thing I want to ask is whether Buck expects the timeline will fully run out before we solve alignment, or whether we’ll manage to successfully build an AGI that helps us achieve our values and an existential win, or whether something different will happen instead.

I see. I asked only because I was confused why you asked “before crunch time” rather than leaving that part out.
