AI Development

“Bernie Sanders is now picking up on this, and he's demanding a total pause on AI development.”

“And I just, you haven't seen in the history of AI development, big breakthroughs happen in secret. These usually, you know, these papers come out, they ping pong around everybody, you know, it cross pollinates and then people come up with ideas around the same…”

“We paused training, or we may have to pace the rate of AI development to give ourselves enough time for society to harden around some of these new capability levels.”

“We may have to pace the rate of AI development to give ourselves enough time for society to harden around some of these new capability levels and trying to figure out how we do that in a way that does not feel like regulatory capture for anyone, and also does …”

“Craft can no longer look like going into your little studio and tinkering for several weeks before coming out with something to show for it. And craft also doesn't mean that all of us can feel the same ownership of the product through consensus. We actually ha…”

“You've got people talking about international treaties or whatever. I don't think any of that's going to happen. I don't know what my position is on that, but I just don't think it's going to happen. I just, I think there's no way this is just math and Silicon…”

“I think there's absolutely no way you get China to agree to anything like that. I think there's it's impossible at this point. And I think a enforcement of anything like that would effectively be impossible.”

“And by saying you want to slow down AI, that's saying like, These people who have relationships with loved ones who have dementia, you're like, no, no, no, sorry, you guys, you gotta maintain that relationship for a little bit longer. We're scared. We don't kn…”

“If the U S stops developing AI, if we hand this leadership to other countries, it'll make the United States poor. It'll make the American people poor, and it will seed our leadership. Globally, we will not be the preeminent power in the world anymore.”

“If we do an own goal here and slow down because we think somehow that this is the path to greater economic growth, it's going to be a real problem, both national security as well as economic security. Three, five years down the line.”

“I guess if we're, you know, predicting whether it's going to take. 10 or 20 or 40 years, that is probably more a function of the pace of AI development than it is a pace of the pure biology side.”

“Governing a national AI market and governing AI development, we think is primarily Congress's role.”

“I would be shocked if we didn't hit a plateau on the way, but yeah.”

“So, so, so good architecture still matters a lot kind of from personal experience, from customer experience. It's maybe let me rephrase it. It matters even more. Right. So, so it not only matters a lot, but it matters even more.”

“The good news is that AI development is there in some five countries in the world. So it conversation only needs to be had between these five countries.”

“And so if California tomorrow says, look, We're passing a European-style bill to severely curtail, which I think would be a disaster, to severely curtail AI development. That would, in effect, be a national bill.”

“We're at the 64 K IBM PC era of the microcomputer.”

“And it turns out that if you're building like agents that are multi-modal, multi-turn, real-time, it's just a totally different shape of programming problems and best practices than most other kinds of AI development even.”

“If you could have one AI do that, then you could make, you know, a 100,000 copies of these and have them perform research simultaneously. So that could lead to some very substantial acceleration in the rate of development. You might get a decade's worth of AI …”

“An individual company pausing their development while others race ahead doesn't make game theoretic sense.”

“I honestly think right now at where we are in AI development today We are more bottlenecked by data than we are compute.”

“The knobs are not as easy to add as simply like, I'm going to add a parameter to this and it's going to make it happen. It's like, you kind of have to redo the quality process for everything.”

“A lot of the learnings in AI are not on the technology side. It's not about creating a new AI model from scratch. It's about learning how to prepare data, how to augment the data so that you don't need quite as much of it, learning how to normalize or regulari…”

“Intelligence is profoundly valuable for many, many reasons, and I don't know of any way to globally get everybody to stop using and developing this very, very valuable technology. And so, as far as I can see, this will be developed”

“When he did his tech optimist manifesto, when was that? A couple months ago. Didn't he say that any type of deceleration of AI would cost lives? And so if you're slowing down AI development, you're basically a murderer.”

“And so if the U.S. Does try to regulate Or does try to put the brakes on the development of tools where the US can have kind of a great economic benefit and a great economic interest. There will be advances made elsewhere, without a doubt. And those markets an…”
