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

It will continue to improve, but it will also not be it.

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

So the it, we don't know how to build.

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

And I think that a lot hinges on understanding reliable generalization.

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

And I'll say another thing, which is like...

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

You know, one of the things that you could say is what would that cause alignment to be difficult is that human value that it's it's your ability to learn human values is fragile, then your ability to optimize them is fragile, you will you actually learn to optimize them?

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

And then can't you say are these not all instances of unreliable generalization?

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

Why is it that human beings appear to generalize so much better?

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

What if generalization was much better?

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

What would happen in this case?

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

What would be the effect?

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

But those questions are right now still unanswerable.

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

So one reason why I liked the AI that cares for sentient life, and we can debate on whether it's good or bad, but if the first N of these dramatic systems actually do care for love humanity or something, care for sentient life, obviously this also needs to be achieved.

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

This needs to be achieved.

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

So if this is achieved by the first N of those systems,

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

then I can see it go well, at least for quite some time.

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

And then there is the question of what happens in the long run.

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

What happens in the long run?

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

How do you achieve a long-run equilibrium?

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

And I think that there is an answer as well.

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

And I don't like this answer, but it needs to be considered.
