And they have to be trained at the cost of billions of dollars.

Then they can do a run where you ask a question and it answers the question.

But brains in the real world don't have that luxury of having a training phase and then an action phase.

We have to learn on the fly.

I think it's an interesting question that we'll have to see, but it's...

clearly the case that we know what it is to be a human from the inside.

And when I'm making a model of you and who you are and you're making a model of me, we have assumptions about what it is like to be a human.

AI only watches human behavior from the outside.

And so it can tell a lot of great stuff, but it doesn't

really know what it is to be a human.

So if I ask it some question about what would it be like if this or that happened, it can answer based on observing lots of things, but it can only ever know from the outside.

I agree with you.

I agree.

I'm actually writing a new podcast on this about what you can tell from the outside and what you can tell from the inside and whether that difference matters.

Look, an example is, you know, I last got a Tesla with full self-driving and I was watching as it was full self-driving.

I was coming up on a very complicated traffic situation.

I thought, well, what's my car going to do?

How's it possibly going to understand?

But what it did is it slowed down and came to a stop, which was exactly the right thing.

And I thought, oh, that's interesting.
