#407 โ€“ Guillaume Verdon: Beff Jezos, E/acc Movement, Physics, Computation & AGI

You're kind of deforming the market artificially compared to sort of subverting or coursing the market or dancing with the market to convince it that actually this function is important, adds value, and here it is, right? And so I think, you know, this is sort of the way between this sort of degrowth, like ESG approach versus say Elon, right?

The degrowth approach is like, we're going to manage our way out of a climate crisis. And Elon is like, I'm going to build a company that is self-sustaining, profitable and growing. And we're going to innovate our way out of this dilemma, right? And we're trying to get people to do the latter rather than the former at all scales.

It is somewhat because he's very much against regulation in many aspects, but for AI, he's definitely... a proponent of regulations. I think overall, he saw the dangers of say,

opening eye, cornering the market, and then getting to have the monopoly over the cultural priors that you can embed in these LLMs that then, as LLMs now become the source of truth for people, then you can shape the culture of the people. And so you can control people by controlling LLMs. And he saw that

Just like it was the case for social media, if you shape the function of information propagation, you can shape people's opinions. He sought to make a competitor. So at least I think we're very aligned there that the way to a good future is to maintain sort of adversarial equilibria between the various AI players. I'd love to talk to him to understand sort of his thinking about how to make...

you know, how to advance AI going forwards. I mean, he's also hedging his bets, I would say, you know, with Neuralink, right? I think if he can't stop the progress of AI, you know, he's building the technology to merge. So, you know, look at the actions, not just the words, but.
