I personally, I'm first of all willing to embrace the uncertainty about it.
And I think we all should.
But if you ask me to make one guess that I feel more comfortable about, I would say capabilities.
are probably going to continue to increase.
And I don't think there is any clear limit in front of us in the near term.
And so I do expect that there's going to be very significant economic impacts.
Yeah, and just to be sure, that was always meant to be a prediction about AI systems that are essentially at the level of AGI or beyond, not for the literal systems we had in 2017 that could barely tell apart a dog and a muffin.
So, I think ultimately where my perspective is coming from is that I have studied neuroscience, I have studied computer science, and at some level, you know, once basically deep neural networks became powerful…
I felt it is hard to not make the conclusion that, well, it looks like eventually these systems will be able to do pretty much anything that our brains can do.
And they're subject to much, much more relaxed constraints, like they don't need to fit into a tiny human skull.
We can scale them almost without bounds.
And in some sense, that's what we have seen over the past decade.
We have seen lots and lots and lots of scaling.
At this point, these systems consume the energy of cities as opposed to what our brain does, which is the energy of an energy-efficient light bulb.
And that's still not the limit.
They're still increasing in size, increasing in capabilities.
And of course, the algorithms are getting better and better.
So based on that perspective, I just don't see why there would be any natural limit.
And certainly not why there would be a limit that's below our human intellectual capabilities.
Yeah, it does feel very strange.
