Human

“One of our biggest realizations has been that humans will always be the center of AI. And how humans expand their creativity and their thinking through this is what is going to actually drive the next wave of this.”

“I, there'll be more agents than humans in the not too distant future.”

“Like, only humans can generate, like, 200 page proofs right now.”

“I think the LLMs will make many fewer of these mistakes than humans pretty quickly.”

“I think it is the human's responsibility to first allocate the resources. That means to say how many tokens are we willing to spend to try to get a goal to set the goal right as well. So you set the goal and the budget and then to monitor, right? Like the over…”

“And then it turned out that somewhere along this transition, so at some point in 20, 29, you went from AIs that were kind of misaligned and reward hacky and sloppy and weren't really trying to do the right thing to AIs that are like competently scheming agains…”

“So, so we won't work on humans here because we've been asked the Neanderthal question. And so non-human primates in over, we won't work on, right? Giant epithecus would be amazing to see, but we're not going to do that.”

“Current LLMs, like you're using them as an ordinary person, for the most part, they are helpful, and they try to solve your task that you assign them, or give an answer that is, sometimes they hallucinate, or maybe deceive a little bit, but broadly speaking, t…”

“I think that's kind of mainstream because the capabilities of AI models have sort of, it's fair to say, have surpassed humans in certain cases from a coding perspective.”

“Maybe today, but I think very, very soon that's not going to be true, because AI is very good at making humans feel comfortable, and humans feel like AI isn't judging it because it's not another human. So I feel like AI will be capable of doing that if it's no…”

“If you think about our large scale models today, they probably see a thousand times as much data as a human does by the age of 18, yet the human by the age of 18 is better in a lot of things and, you know, on par with those frontier models that have seen way m…”

“That drone swarm in cyber will be coming, and the difference with that total recall it has that humans don't have, the instantaneous communication between different agents that have different objectives so they can coordinate at a speed humans cannot, this has…”

“If you project out maybe a year or two from now, do you think you're going to spend more on humans or tokens? And I don't think the answer is obviously humans. I think there's actually a good chance you spend more on tokens than you spend on humans.”

“While in these scenarios, humans found it very difficult to prompt inject the models, like we're aware of scenarios that a human would never fall for, that like Opus four seven would, right? Like a, you know, an email that comes to your inbox and it says somet…”

“I think that we will see. Agents will be core employee populations. You know, you'll have humans and agents, you'll have augmented and it's about working together”

“My experience and my feeling is that we will look back in a year and say, We actually have a lot more work to do. Humans have a lot more work to do. Even as models get better at doing work.”

“These models don't integrate well with software. Actually, I think it turns out and what we're learning as an industry is if you view them more like humans and you draft on the mechanisms we put in place for humans, they are much easier to integrate.”

“Given the technical nature of these agents and how much entropy they have and kind of how unruly they are, we're gonna have to go through the processes that we've refined around humans, because humans have all of those things, and so I just, you know, it's mor…”

“We haven't removed humans from the loop. We've just changed where they enter the loop.”

“But anything where you have to do a high ticket deal entrepreneurship, you're leading someone through a purchase decision of over 3000 dollars, they need to talk to a human.”

“That's the thing that we have to get used to as humans. Is, is it's, we have to get used to this. Obviously, when we're no longer in the you loop, it's better. Not worse, you guys. So, so that's the thing we have to get used to.”

“I think it's way easier to cross-function the line of the agents than with humans.”

“The agent hiring the people, which of course is going to happen, right? It's obviously going to happen.”

“AIs are really good at programming humans. Much better than humans are at programming AIs.”

“I think the main point of Sapiens, which is as relevant today as ever, is that, ah, history is shaped by the human imagination, by fiction, and not just by truth, that humans control the world because we know how to cooperate better than any other animal on th…”

“As a trained neuroscientist, I can look at the, what we call the cytoarchitecture, basically the cell structure of the cortex of a rat And a human, I can't tell the difference. So the human or the evolutionary biology version of Moore's law kind of ended about…”

“People don't know that these aren't humans.”

“And I think that's the easy way to succeed in an AI over humans is you can try more ideas faster.”

“And if you are smart, you build it in a way that just uses what the model already expects, you know, don't build it for humans, build it for models.”

“I think we know a lot more about how AIs learn right now than we know about how humans learn”

“There'll be more agents in this country than humans soon enough.”

“Humans have this evolutionary spirit, and we will do something else. We'll go back and do something which is completely wrong, which will be very cool.”

“Humans are more relatively goal coherent. Than any other object I know of in the universe.”

“The reason humans are so good at this is we have a really excellent theory of mind. I already know what you're likely to ask me to do. I already have a good model of what your goals probably are. So if you ask me to do it, I have an easy inference problem.”

“At some point, the computers are going after the humans, and I don't think it's that far away.”

“One thing I know for certain is that the CEOs, if they can reduce their cost structure in the short term, They're gonna replace, they're gonna take computers over humans.”

“We as humans do the same thing as we take this very complex, heavy tailed, stochastic universe, and we reduce it to kind of this geometric manifold, and then When we reason, we just move along that manifold.”

“I would say we'll be on Mars by 20 50. I don't think we would, I mean, colonized maybe is like, depends what that means, but I think there will be a human on Mars by 20 50.”

“I think AI is smarter than humans, and most people don't agree. I think most people don't agree, and the reason is that it's oftentimes it's very, very stupid, but that's very stupid, but if you give it all the context or you have, like, you build a purposeful…”

“Humans should get content for free again, because we've kind of paywalled way too much, frankly. And robots should pay a ton for it. Because again, every time a robot ingests something, it's in service of, Hundreds of thousands, if not millions of different hu…”

“AI is, is better for diagnosis on a lot of things than humans, right?”

“Every other tool that's ever been made, every other technological tool was a compliment to humans.”

“The marginal cost of keeping an H 100 running is much lower than the cost of keeping a human alive for a year.”

“Once we get AGI humans will not have high paying jobs.”

“I think that there is going to be an extreme premium, but on the humans that are able to sustain because of what they represent uniquely.”

“I don't think that the AI can fully, you know, replace human. We always have to have the human look into it. And even everything I'm doing right now is always have to have somebody reviewing it.”

“Gradient descent requires vast amounts of data to distill simple abstractions. Many orders of magnitude more data than what humans need. Roughly three to four orders of magnitude more.”

“Like current machine learning algorithms, like a thousand X less data efficient than humans. So yeah, you need a thousand X more data, right? If a human can learn something in one example, or 10 examples, the computer is going to need a thousand or 10,000.”

“I mean, I'd predict that there's gonna be, At least five times as many humanoid robots as there are humans, maybe 10 times.”

“We're now kind of like cooperating with AIs, and usually they are doing the generation, and we as humans are doing the verification. It is in our interest to make this loop go as fast as possible, so we're getting a lot of work done.”

“And they have a memory probably better than most humans, because a lot of times us humans like to forget some stuff. AI models, they can't really. Cause they're constantly being trained.”

“I think AI's goal is to replace humans functionality in society. So our existence is a threat to its usefulness.”

“The reality is very clearly in the next few years, the amount of lines of code written by a human will go down. Like the percentage of code written by humans will go down.”

“Yeah, we are a super expensive tool call. You know, if you're a model, you can either ask me, you know, meat bag over here to you know, help with something and I'll try to think really slowly. In the meantime, it could have like used browser and read like a hu…”

“Like, we're going to have these, you know, basically super intelligent entities that we talk to.”

“Agents, the comp is not other software, it's humans, right?”

“I think that humans are the biggest blocker to adoption, and they're gonna need a lot of hand-holding and help.”

“It's in no way like a true conversational partner in a way that people are interacting with AI voice now like it is a human or in some ways even better than a human.”

“I, a million dollars that a human has been on Mars by 2040. Like set foot, like planted the flag, like boot on sand. Like literally went out of a spaceship, like hung out, did a little dance and I'll bet you a million dollars.”

“I think the ultimate, Proof of how effective an agent is, is when an agent can interface with an agent and an agent can interface with a human.”
