Dwarkesh Podcast
Ilya Sutskever โ€“ We're moving from the age of scaling to the age of research

It's how I would imagine it.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Ilya Sutskever โ€“ We're moving from the age of scaling to the age of research

The gradualism would be an inherent component of any plan.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Ilya Sutskever โ€“ We're moving from the age of scaling to the age of research

It's just a question of what is the first thing that you get out of the door.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Ilya Sutskever โ€“ We're moving from the age of scaling to the age of research

That's number one.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Ilya Sutskever โ€“ We're moving from the age of scaling to the age of research

Number two, I also think, you know, I believe you have advocated for continual learning more than other people.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Ilya Sutskever โ€“ We're moving from the age of scaling to the age of research

And I actually think that this is an important and correct thing.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Ilya Sutskever โ€“ We're moving from the age of scaling to the age of research

And here is why.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Ilya Sutskever โ€“ We're moving from the age of scaling to the age of research

So one of the things, so I'll give you another example of how thinking, how language affects thinking.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Ilya Sutskever โ€“ We're moving from the age of scaling to the age of research

And in this case, this will be two words, two words that have shaped everyone's thinking, I maintain.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Ilya Sutskever โ€“ We're moving from the age of scaling to the age of research

First word, AGI.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Ilya Sutskever โ€“ We're moving from the age of scaling to the age of research

Second word, pre-training.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Ilya Sutskever โ€“ We're moving from the age of scaling to the age of research

Let me explain.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Ilya Sutskever โ€“ We're moving from the age of scaling to the age of research

So the word, the term AGI, why does this term exist?

Dwarkesh Podcast
Ilya Sutskever โ€“ We're moving from the age of scaling to the age of research

It's a very particular term.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Ilya Sutskever โ€“ We're moving from the age of scaling to the age of research

Why does it exist?

Dwarkesh Podcast
Ilya Sutskever โ€“ We're moving from the age of scaling to the age of research

There's a reason.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Ilya Sutskever โ€“ We're moving from the age of scaling to the age of research

The reason that the term AGI exists is, in my opinion, not so much because it's like a very important essential descriptor of some end state of intelligence, but

Dwarkesh Podcast
Ilya Sutskever โ€“ We're moving from the age of scaling to the age of research

Because it is a reaction to a different term that existed, and the term is narrow AI.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Ilya Sutskever โ€“ We're moving from the age of scaling to the age of research

If you go back to ancient history of game-playing AI, of checkers AI, chess AI, computer games AI, everyone would say, look at this narrow intelligence.

Dwarkesh Podcast

Sure, the chess AI can beat Kasparov, but it can't do anything else.
