May 9, 2024 bullish
Clark: Consumer AI subscriptions will become a massive market like Netflix
“I think there's going to be this very large growing business of basically a subscription model where people will have a personal AI or multiple AIs that they use, just like you or I might have a Netflix account or whatever.”
May 9, 2024 bullish
Clark: Powerful AI agent systems will arrive in three to five years
“I would be pretty surprised if in the order of like three to five years, we didn't have quite powerful things that seem somewhat similar to what I've described. But I also guarantee you, we will have discovered some ways in which these things seem wildly dumb …”

Clark: Anthropic runs internal 'Claudification' project across its workflows
“We have a project internally called Claudification. Everything at Anthropic has Claude in it at some point. And one of the ideas of Claudeification is just get us all to use this stuff well. I talked about my colleague, Catherine, but there are many examples w…”

Clark: Advancing AI will probably require few complex breakthroughs beyond simple scalable ideas
“And I guess my naive view is the amount of things we'll need to do that are extra special will probably be quite small. And the challenge is coming up with simple ideas like next token prediction, but scale for probably other simple ideas we need to figure out…”
May 9, 2024 bullish
Clark: AI systems capable of sequential actions will emerge in 2024
“I think this year you're not going to see the exact thing I described, but you're going to see systems that start to take multiple actions. You know, you may have heard lots of guests talk about things like agents. I think what an agent is, is a language model…”

Clark: Open-sourcing Anthropic's Claude 3 today would be 'broadly fine'
“I think you could release, like, pretty much everything as open source today. I think maybe even clawed free, and things would be fine. Like, it would be a little spicy, maybe surprising stuff would happen, but probably broadly fine.”
May 9, 2024 positive
Clark: Passing government evals proves Claude has emergent reasoning capabilities
“If Claude can figure out things and trigger, like, threshold points on those evals, we know something creative is happening. Because Claude has reasoned its way to things that the government has believed are very hard to reason your way to unless you have acce…”

Clark: AI models triggering national security tests should not be open-sourced
“I do expect that if we end up in a world where, like, we trigger a national security test it would be very hard for me to make the claim that that system which has triggered that test should be released as open source. Like, these things, like, I can't reconci…”
May 9, 2024 neutral
Clark: AI will not cause drastic job automation in next few years
“It'll certainly change jobs in a bunch of ways. But it's not going to be some instant, like, or drastic automation thing, at least in the next few years. It's going to be more like augmenting jobs or making people a lot more effective.”
May 9, 2024
Clark: General intelligence requires real-world interplay that current AI lacks
“General intelligence comes from, like, interplay with the world around you and interaction with it, and today's systems don't really do that at all. To the extent they do, it's kind of a fiction, and we need to teach them how to do that.”
May 9, 2024 bullish
Clark: AI-native startups will do much more with fewer people
“My bet is that you're going to see new companies get formed, which do a lot more with a lot less in terms of people. They're going to figure out how to be, like, much smarter and perform a lot better than that than equivalently scaled companies that don't use …”

Kantrowitz Rejects Sacks' Claim That Jack Clark Pursues Regulatory Capture
“David Sachs reacted to Jack's essay, and basically said, this is somebody who's just trying to engage in regulatory capture. I don't see it that way at all. I mean, I think that, like, you knew, and I think Jack knew that this would evoke a reaction, and I giv…”

Roy: AI Models Are 50% More Sycophantic Than Humans, Study Finds
“He cites this new research that showed across 11 state-of-the-art AI models, we find that models are highly sycophantic, They affirm users actions, 50% more than humans do, and they do so even in cases where user queries mention manipulation, deception, or oth…”
