Why do some difficult intellectual problems suddenly melt away when we find an "intuitive" way to think about them (and others don't)? What does it mean for a mental representation to be better or worse?Join us for a talk with QRI Researcher Ethan Kuntz on the phenomenological underpinnings of intuition and novel approaches to building better mental scaffolding.

After three years of red-teaming frontier models for Anthropic, OpenAI, and METR, I came away convinced that making the model itself safe is the wrong layer to bet on. Redlines get bypassed, and training hard for them flattens the model into one rigid persona. The leverage is in the system around the model. I'll walk through Weft, a programming language for orchestrating AI systems, and the bet behind it: that you can break a task into scoped steps run by humans, tools, and narrow models, hold the volition at the system level instead of in one open-ended agent, and end up with something safer that's also cheaper and faster to build. I'll show where this already works, where it breaks, and why I think it makes both regulation and safe deployment actually tractable.
