The Twenty Minute VC (20VC): Venture Capital | Startup Funding | The Pitch
20VC: UiPath's Daniel Dines on Why Agents Do Not Mean RPA is F***** | Why We Have Reached the Upper End of Scaling Laws | The Future of Work in an Agent World and What Everyone Misunderstands About Enterprise AI

And it's not about RPA or automation. I think it's a lot. Every industry will be subject for a big change. I also believe that we need a new giant leap in order to get there. I don't believe that actual LLMs reason in the sense that I expect a guy with 120 IQ reason. It's a stochastic engine in the end. There is a big argument. Is the intelligence purely stochastic or it's something else?

I believe there is something else. Why? I am stupid compared to LLMs in many tasks, but I am much better than LLMs in so many others. Why LLMs make logical mistakes that I cannot do, while can solve some problems like math, Olympia problems that I don't have any chance to do? Why? This question has to be answered. It shows me that actually the essence is different.

It's a different type of intelligence. But that intelligence is not equipped to work in the context of business operations where you need reliability.

It's very small to invest $9 trillion to create $9 trillion a year. I think it would be an easy investment if there is a predictable outcome. But do you really think that just adding GPUs and with the existing algorithm to train, they will suddenly become godlike intelligent? I don't understand. There are many signals that the training kind of plateaued.

What is the signal that the training plateaued? I heard even Sundar saying recently that they are not seeing much more gains by training alone. So there should be something else.

yes we we had the rocky ride into the public markets and probably in 2021 we were to what extent was that avoidable versus unavoidable i think if i do a second ipo i would be better equipped what would you do differently if you did a second ipo i would look into into finance and go to market a bit differently what does that mean sorry go into finance and go to market differently
