So Noam Chomsky, who most people would know as a left-wing activist, he has been deeply involved in all of this for absolutely decades.
And the thinking was that
AI could never acquire general intelligence.
It couldn't acquire actual human intelligence because a lot of what we do is in a it relies on semantic reasoning and inference and that AI would only do, as you're saying, Chris, what it could learn.
It's machine learning.
So you teach the machine how to do a certain amount of tasks, and it could get very, very good of those, good at those, but there would be a limit to
What it could do.
So the example that was given back then always was, you know, an 18-month-old child can understand almost everything that's been said to it, or a two-year-old child, even though it can't actually speak itself.
And that kind of human intelligence and the neural networks and the way that works, we don't know how that works.
Noam Chomsky doesn't know how that works.
So how on earth could you teach um a computer to do that?
But it looks like the sheer power.
of the L LMs and the machine learning means that may not matter.
I don't know if Sean agrees with that, that if you just slam enough power at this stuff, the level of learning and mimicking will power it to go and take these initiatives itself.
Is that where you are, Sean, with this?
Yeah,
Sean, what would you do then?
So given where we are and given the power.
uh that they have.
If you were in charge of the world, what would you do?
