“I mean, I think my sort of underlying beliefs on AI are AI should likely get regulated through the existing regulatory frameworks that exist. I don't see a lot of new harm or use cases or damage caused by just the narrow form of AI systems that we have today that Existing sort of regulatory frameworks or agencies don't have power already to sort of regulate and make decisions over that, that feels like smart and the right way to sort of think about that stuff.”

Knoop: LLMs are high-dimensional memorization, not general intelligence

Knoop: ARC solution will likely need under 10k code lines, not massive LLMs
“It's quite likely actually that the solution it can be like written in like 10,000 lines of code or less. And it's not gonna require these like, you know, gigantic You know, two hundred billion large parameter models in order to solve it.”
