#403 – Lisa Randall: Dark Matter, Theoretical Physics, and Extinction Events

It could be a tool that helps us go a step further than we would and a lot more efficiently. And it's already done that to some extent. Or it could be like the parts of the internet that we can't control that are ruining politics or whatever. And there's certainly a lot of indications that can do that.

Then there are even bigger things that, you know, people speculate about, about AI being able to do its own things. But in terms of actually figuring things out, you know, we're in the early stages.

So large language models are more or less like generalizations of stuff that we have. So the question is, so there's still breakthroughs in AI waiting to happen, and maybe they are happening, and maybe they'll be good, maybe not. But that's not quite the same. I mean, maybe in some cases, it's just pattern recognition that leads to important things.

But sometimes it could be something more insightful than that, that I can't even put my finger on. So it forces us to... I mean, we don't really understand how smart we are. We don't understand how we think about things all that well, actually. But one thing is true, though. We are a lot more efficient right now than computers in coming up with things. We require a lot less energy to do that.

So if computers figure out how to do that, then it's going to be a totally different ballgame. And so there are clearly kinds of connections that we don't know how we're making, but we are making them. And so... That's going to be interesting. So, you know, I say we're in early stages, but this is changing very rapidly.

So there are sort of abstract questions like that. There's also questions of how is it that we can address to some extent, you know, how will AI be used in the context of the world we live in, which is based on, you know, at least our country is based on capitalism and a certain political system. And how will global politics deal with it? How will... our capitalist system deal with it?
