My impression is that the OpenAI Hugging Face hack has blown the Overton Window right open.

We shouldn't assume that this will last forever. It certainly didn't after the launch of ChatGPT.

It's not clear how many further windows of opportunity like this there will be. How we best take advantage of this opportunity that we've been lucky enough to have been given. to try to increase the chance that AI goes well?
