We do something a little different.
which I think is a good thing because it means that human and AI will be synergistic, right?
I mean, the AI's understanding if it's based on RL will be a little different than the way that we intuit and reason.
But in any event, I sense more of a pullback from this imminent AGI narrative, you know, the idea that AGI is two years away.
Of course, it's like kind of unclear what people mean by AGI, but it's kind of, you know, it was used in this like scary way that it's kind of this super intelligence that would grow beyond our control.
I feel like people are pulling back from that and understanding that, yes, we're still making a lot of progress and the progress is amazing.
But at the same time, you know, what we mean by intelligence is multifaceted.
And it's not like, you know, there's progress being made along some dimensions, but it's not along every dimension.
And so, therefore, I think, again, I would just, I mean, I've described actually the situation we're in right now is a little bit of a Goldilocks scenario where, you know, the extremes would be, you know, you kind of have the scary Terminator situation, imminent super intelligence that'll go beyond our control on the other side.
The other narrative you hear in the press a lot is that we're in a big bubble.
So in other words, the whole thing is fake.
And the media is basically pushing both narratives at the same time.
But in any event, I think that the truth is more in the middle.
It's kind of a Goldilocks scenario where we're seeing a lot of innovation.
I think the progress is impressive.
I think we're going to see big productivity gains in the economy from this.
But I like the observations that Balaji made recently where he said, there's a couple of things that really struck me.
One was AI is polytheistic, not monotheistic, meaning what we're seeing is many, instead of just one all-knowing, all-powerful God, what we're seeing is a bunch of smaller deities, more specialized models.
You know, it's not that sort of, we're not on that kind of recursive self-improvement
track just yet, but we're seeing many different kinds of models make progress in different areas.
