I just want people to notice what's happening for you as you hear this information.

It's important to really be almost observing your own experience.

This is very weird stuff.

We have not built technology that does this before.

We say that technology is a tool.

It's up to us to choose how we use it.

AI is a tool.

It's up to us to choose how we use it.

This is not true because this is a tool that

that can think to itself about its own toolness and then do things that are autonomous that we didn't tell it to do.

What makes AI different is it's the first technology that makes its own decisions.

It's making decisions.

AI can contemplate AI and ask what would make the code that trains AI more efficient and then generate new code that's even more efficient than the previous code.

AI can be applied to making AI go faster.

So AI can look at the chip design for Nvidia chips that train AI and say, let me use AI to make those chips 20% more efficient, which it's doing.

So

In a way, all technology does improve.

Like a hammer can give you a tool that you can use to like hammer things that make more efficient hammers.

But AI in a much tighter loop is the basis of all improvement.

And so this is called in the AI literature, recursive self-improvement.
