#405 โ€“ Jeff Bezos: Amazon and Blue Origin

If you're talking about generative AI, large language models, things like ChatGPT and its soon successors, these are incredibly powerful technologies. To believe otherwise is to bury your head in the sand, soon to be even more powerful. It's interesting to me that large language models in their current form are not inventions, they're discoveries.

The telescope was an invention, but looking through it at Jupiter, knowing that it had moons was a discovery. Like, my God, it has moons. And that's what Galileo did. And so this is closer on that spectrum of invention. We know exactly what happens with a 787. It's an engineered object. We designed it. We know how it behaves. We don't want any surprises.

Large language models are much more like discoveries. We're constantly getting surprised by their capabilities. They're not really engineered objects. Then you have this debate about whether they're going to be good for humanity or bad for humanity. You know, even specialized AI is can be very bad for humanity.

I mean, it's just regular machine learning models that can make certain weapons of war that could be incredibly destructive and very powerful. And they're not general AIs. They could just be very smart weapons. And so we have to think about all of those things. I'm very optimistic about this.

So even in the face of all this uncertainty, my own view is that these powerful tools are much more likely to help us and save us even than they are to unbalance, hurt us, and destroy us. I think we humans have a lot of ways of We can make ourselves go extinct. These things may help us not do that. So they may actually save us.

So the people who are overly concerned, in my view, overly concerned, it's a valid debate. I think that they may be missing part of the equation, which is how helpful they could be in making sure we don't destroy ourselves. I don't know if you saw the movie Oppenheimer, but

To me, first of all, I loved the movie, and I thought the best part of the movie is this bureaucrat, played by Robert Downey Jr., who some people I've talked to think that's the most boring part of the movie. I thought it was the most fascinating, because what's going on here is you realize we have invented these awesome, destructive, powerful technologies called nuclear weapons.
