Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Possibility of an AI Bubble
Q: Are we indeed now in the midst of an AI bubble?
There is good and bad investment; the term bubble historically refers to speculative markets, not necessarily the intrinsic value of technology.
The Possibility of an AI Bubble
Q: Do you think that this is something that Google should worry about?
Yes, absolutely. Google has to optimize their page to maximize revenue, which limits their opportunity to experiment.
Understanding AGI
Q: Is AGI inherently dangerous?
AGI itself is not inherently dangerous; it is a tool, and the dangers come from disparities in technology and its application.
Understanding AGI
Q: How close do you think we are to achieving AGI?
We are closer to AGI than ever, particularly with the advancements in agent-based approaches where multiple AI models work together to perform tasks.
Understanding AGI
Q: What is AGI and how do you define it?
AGI is the ability to perform most human-level knowledge tasks, such as operating a web browser and completing tasks that would typically require human intervention.
