“Somebody does a thing. It looks magical. It looks wonderful. We think it's the only thing. Three months later, somebody copies it and actually does it better.”
“Any sufficiently intelligent agent that has the ability to create subgoals will realize that it needs to survive in order to achieve the goals we gave it. So even if it is never externally…”
“Some linguists would have you believe what’s going on here is just some statistical correlations. I would have you believe this thing really doesn’t want to be shut down. This has already…”
“This was back when most people were still unaware and somewhat skeptical but of course - Jensen was 1000% correct, highly prescient and locked in very early.”
“All Software Is Being Rewritten.”
“AI is no longer a single breakthrough or application — it is essential infrastructure. Every company will use it. Every nation will build it. From energy and chips to infrastructure,…”
“The tricky thing about AI is that it can give the impression that you've actually learned the basics before you really have,”
“The positive is that when you know all these different tools and approaches to how to think about a problem, AI can often help you find the bit of information that you need,”
“Many of [these concepts] are just tools for thinking about where are we getting fooled. We can be fooling ourselves, the AI could be fooling itself, and then could fool us.”
“The goal of the startup is to bring about the next big revolution in AI: systems that understand the physical world, have persistent memory, can reason, and can plan complex action…”
“You have to pay them a lot because there's not a lot of these people for the world. And so there's tons of demand for these people, but there's not enough of those people to do the work…”
“I think we're in an LLM bubble, and I think the LLM bubble might be bursting next year.”
“You don't need it to tell you about the meaning of life, right? You can use a smaller, more specialized model that is going to be cheaper, that is going to be faster, that maybe you're…”
“If an AI could crack quantum gravity — and explain why — that might be enough to call it human-level smart.”
“I agree to that as the test.”
“I think to the extent that it can predict the next frames in a coherent way, that is a form of understanding, not in the anthropomorphic version of, it’s not some kind of deep philosophical…”
“So in a way that’s what I want to build AGI for is to help us as scientists answer these questions like P equals NP.”
“Soon, we'll also share our best science to help the research community better understand frontier AI systems.”
“Murati said Thinking Machines is building multimodal AI that will be compatible with the ways that people naturally interact with the world, including through conversation and sight.”
“I often say [there's a] 10% to 20% chance [for AI] to wipe us out. But that's just gut, based on the idea that we're still making them and we're pretty ingenious.”
