The a16z Show
Balaji Srinivasan: Prove Correct, Not Just Go Direct

It's mathematically constrained because it can't solve chaotic, turbulent, or cryptographic equations.

The a16z Show
Balaji Srinivasan: Prove Correct, Not Just Go Direct

It's practically constrained because you have to prompt and verify it.

The a16z Show
Balaji Srinivasan: Prove Correct, Not Just Go Direct

It does it middle to middle rather than end to end.

The a16z Show

And it's physically constrained because it requires humans to sense context and type that in via prompts rather than gathering that all for itself.

The a16z Show
Balaji Srinivasan: Prove Correct, Not Just Go Direct

And this is very different

The a16z Show

than the people who look at AI as AGI, Deus Ex Machina, that's just going to solve everything, right?

The a16z Show
Balaji Srinivasan: Prove Correct, Not Just Go Direct

To be clear, this is as of this time of writing, maybe somebody overcomes it, but at least I'm describing what the constraints are on the current generation, right?

The a16z Show

You could, in theory, unify the probabilistic system one impressionistic thinking of AI with the logical system two thinking that computers are good at, and cloud code and so on is starting to get there, perhaps.

But

The a16z Show
Balaji Srinivasan: Prove Correct, Not Just Go Direct

I think it's still something where context breaks down and so on.

And also, somebody, you know that famous graph that people show that it can do longer and longer problems?

The a16z Show
Balaji Srinivasan: Prove Correct, Not Just Go Direct

The meter graph, yeah.

The a16z Show
Balaji Srinivasan: Prove Correct, Not Just Go Direct

Yes.

The a16z Show
Balaji Srinivasan: Prove Correct, Not Just Go Direct

That particular graph, I saw a very good – once in a while out of 1,000 replies on X, there's somebody who's actually gem award, right?

The a16z Show
Balaji Srinivasan: Prove Correct, Not Just Go Direct

How do they put it, right?

The a16z Show
Balaji Srinivasan: Prove Correct, Not Just Go Direct

Gem alarm.

The a16z Show
Balaji Srinivasan: Prove Correct, Not Just Go Direct

Okay.

The a16z Show
Balaji Srinivasan: Prove Correct, Not Just Go Direct

Gem alarm.

The a16z Show
Balaji Srinivasan: Prove Correct, Not Just Go Direct

Yeah, exactly, right?

The a16z Show
Balaji Srinivasan: Prove Correct, Not Just Go Direct

Fine.
