That is crazy if true.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Let's go to AI singularity. All right. So the starting point of this is just that Elon Musk tweeted a few days ago, just one of his one-liners, that the AI singular... I think... Is it the AI singularity is near? Is that what he tweeted? It was...

uh yeah so we are on the event horizon of the singularity that's the tipping point of a black hole where like you can't get out of it basically and uh so for those who aren't who've missed it the singularity is the idea that we could improve ai to the point where an ai is smarter than a human and the ai is therefore capable of improving itself we were still about 10 years out from that right

It was one of those things we're perpetually 10 years out from for decades on end since it was coined. And then I think with the chat GPT thing taking off a couple of years ago, it feels suddenly much more relevant that we could be close to that. We've seen the AI models have gotten a lot better in the last two years. They've gotten a lot better in the last six months.

There are allegedly abilities that we can see that are behind the scenes and are not public yet that are getting better and better and better. The question is, would it ever reach the point where, as it was, if they are able to improve themselves without our input, the idea is you could just...

turn on the AI and it's able to go run away improve itself make more AIs make better AIs and then in theory within a matter of not even just kill us all it could be there are people who think this is paradise we have the AI and it solves all of our problems that you could set it off and in

A month that comes back and it says I've advanced physics and chemistry and biology by a thousand years each and I figured out how to make unlimited food and unlimited energy and we can sail to the stars and you're all immortal now. That's in theory what the good singularity could be. The bad singularity is it becomes a runaway intelligence and it decides to turn all of us into paperclips.

Yeah, exactly. It is very interesting because each, you know, they have to train these basically. And the training is you're just feeding it essentially every image, every sentence, every piece of music ever created to find all the patterns. And every time they upgrade it, so we started with, you know, GPT-1, GPT-2, and of course all the spin-offs.

Kind of every time they upgrade the quality, apparently the amount of energy they have to put into training it is huge. is like an order of magnitude higher.

But the flip side of this is also crazy, which is, have you heard about DeepSeek? Yeah, the Chinese thing. So the Chinese thing. But what's crazy with the deep seek.
