“The progress in that domain isn't necessarily limited by intelligence but by other social artifacts. So as an example, and I'm not an expert in this area, but if you think about the pharmaceutical industry, my understanding is, you know, the, one of the main bottlenecks is clinical trials. So no matter how intelligent a system would be in discovering new therapies. It may not materially change that, and so you may have something that's discovering new insights in math, and that would be delightful and amazing. But the existence of that system that's super intelligent in one domain may not translate to all domains equally.”

Taylor: Generating AI code in human-designed programming languages is a local maximum
“It feels like a local maximum in a really obvious way to me, which is you have a bunch of code written by people written in programming languages that were designed to make it easy for people to tell a computer what to do.”
Taylor: Treating software engineers as machine operators will make development more robust
“I have a strong suspicion that if we designed these systems with the role of a software engineer in mind being an operator of a machine rather than the author of the code, we could make the process Much more robust and much more productive.”
Taylor: Pre-training a fourth-best foundation model offers highly questionable ROI
“If you're pre-training a foundation model that's the fourth best that's gonna cost you a lot of money, and the return on that investment is, is probably fairly questionable, because why use your fourth best large language model versus a frontier model or an op…”
Taylor: AI model market will consolidate into a few massive capex players
“I think we have probably have too many people building models right now. There's already been some consolidation actually of companies being folded into Amazon and Microsoft and others. But I do think it will play out a bit like the cloud infrastructure busine…”
