Every statement that passed quotation and attribution checks. Mix any filter with any other: certainty 1/5, debate potential 5/5, or both at once.

Kolter: Robotics AI is not yet ready for pure compute scaling
“Certain fields. I think things like robotics is still one. I don't think we're quite at the, let's just scale it up level with robotics yet. Some companies might argue we are. I don't think we are. I think we're still in the let's explore methods to find the r…”

Kolter: AI agent benefits outweigh security risks if deployed with proper guardrails
“Yes, I think so, actually. I think if you run with proper guardrails, you know, we release guardrails for coding agents, for example. If you're on proper guardrails with proper sandboxing, and right now, yes, you probably also take some care to be a little bit…”

Text model scaling is one of humanity's top scientific discoveries
“The discovery That when you train big enough models on lots of text, and then turn, and then a little bit of additional sort of, you know, fine-tuning text, and then turn them loose to generate, that this generates long-form coherent thought. That was probably…”
