In their words

The transcript segments this claim was taken from

“but i think that's like i think that's overstated uh i think people's intuitions for like how hard this kind of deployment is comes from cases where the deployment of the technology wouldn't be like that valuable uh so it might come from housing like we have a lot of regulations in housing maybe it comes from nuclear power maybe it comes from supersonic flights uh i mean those are all technologies that would be useful if they were like maybe less regulated”
