I believe that models like GPT-4 are already incredibly powerful tools, but this is very dependent on who uses them, and I think that at the moment more than 95% of the population, if not 99%, hasn't even understood what they are and their potential.

An engineer can halt a training run, but a corporation cannot stop a profitable enterprise. And as more groups join the race, the only button they manufacture for themselves to press is ACCELERATE.

As a analyst testing AI prompts almost on a regular basis, I can confirm that we would only reach AGI only in an increamental way. It won't be radical. But as Sam mentioned, small step would def take you there. Currently, people are out of their freak out period of GPT4. It's not perfect but it is still helping us to make daily tasks easier.

Thing is.. He's gotta walk a fine line between hype, and not scaring governments too much.. AGI will be huge, and it will quickly lead to ASI, which is even more world-changing. Some parts of how humans like to live won't change, but a LOT will. The idea that everyone will always be able to compete for a job, for their survival, needs to be the first mentality we let go of.

Those guys give me the same vibes as Stockton Rush trying to sell trips to the Titanic

I like the statement about "tight feedback loop with the world". That's a real statement. On the flip side, whomever can't see socialism at this point is blinded by greed. A world where we can all be happy, even without the most amount of stuff and events, etc. Or a world where I can be happy at someone else's expense (or vice versa).

AI is making those who use it wisely increasingly more intelligent in ways that reading books or listening to lectures cannot achieve. It can be used interactively, thereby "customizing" the learning process = accelerated knowledge. This is just one example of its power. We can never go back.

"Knowledge is no longer power; ownership is. Bestowing the world with knowledge, absent a means to utilize it, breeds frustration."

00:45 As humans we have a insatiable greed of curiosity that will be our downfall

May be the "AGI" will redefine the meaning of the word "Job" in future.

00:02 Sam Altman and Satya Nadella discuss the future of AI 00:37 The rapid diffusion of general purpose technology is causing concerns about job displacement. 01:10 GPT-4 and GPT-5 revolutionize productivity and workflow. 01:35 AI development will lead to AGI in the future. 01:59 AGI poses an uncertain future for humanity. 02:24 Expert predictions of technological revolutions are often wrong 02:54 Nation states will have a say in regulating technology development. 03:25 No magic red button to stop AI :virtualhug::elbowcough:
