I can imagine a world soon where AIs are just like unbelievably more capable than us and doing these amazing things.

And

When I imagine that world and I imagine the people in it, I imagine those people still caring about the other people quite a lot.

Still thinking about relative status and sort of these silly games relative to other people quite a lot.

But how many people are going to be measuring themselves against, you know, what the AI is doing and capable of?

Yeah, there are people in the world that can do this, that can kind of expand our mind in some way or other.

It's very powerful.

There's just not very many of them.

And it's a rare privilege to get to talk to them.

If we can make an AI that is like the world's best dinner party guest, super interesting.

knows about everything, incredibly interested in you and takes the time to like understand where they could push your thinking in a new direction.

That seems like a good thing to me.

And I've also had this experience with AI where I had the experience of talking to a real expert in an important area and that changing how I think about the world, which for sure there is some human that could have done that, but I didn't happen to be with him or her right then.

Yeah, I think a lot of people are still stuck back in the GPT-3 days, ancient history back in 2021 when none of this stuff worked really.

It did hallucinate a lot.

If you use the current chat GPT,

It still hallucinates some for sure, but I think it's like surprising that it's generally pretty robust.

We train these models to make predictions based off of all the words they've seen before.

There's a bunch of wrong information in the training set.

There's also sometimes cases where the model fails to generalize like it should.
