Alright, imagine this: You're at a fancy tech party, sipping on your artisanal kombucha, and someone asks, "Hey, what's gonna happen first? Will those big-brain general LLMs get good enough at specific tasks, or will the niche tools get those fancy LLM features first?"

Aravind Srinivas(01:26:42) ?And you don’t even need to ask the exact question we suggested, it’s more a guidance for you could ask anything else. And if AIs can go and explore the world and ask their own questions, come back and come up with their own great answers, it almost feels like you got a whole GPU server that’s just like, you give the task just to go and explore drug design, figure out how to take AlphaFold 3 and make a drug that cures cancer, and come back to me once you find something amazing.?And then you pay say, $10 million for that job. But then the answer came back with you. It was completely new way to do things. And what is the value of that one particular answer? That would be insane if it worked.?So that’s world that, I think we don’t need to really worry about AIs going rogue and taking over the world, but…
(01:27:47) ?It’s less about access to a model’s weights, it’s more access to compute that is putting the world in more concentration of power and few individuals. Because not everyone’s going to be able to afford this much amount of compute to answer the hardest questions.
Lex Fridman(01:28:06) ?So it’s this incredible power that comes with an AGI type system. The concern is, who controls the compute on which the AGI runs?
Aravind Srinivas(01:28:15) ?Correct. Or rather who’s even able to afford it? Because controlling the compute might just be cloud provider or something, but who’s able to spin up a job that just goes and says, go do this research and come back to me and give me a great answer.
Lex Fridman(01:28:32) ?So to you, AGI in part is compute limited versus data limited-

My Last Five Years of Work ?“I am 25. These next three years might be the last few years that I work. I am not ill, nor am I becoming a stay-at-home mom, nor have I been so financially fortunate to be on the brink of voluntary retirement. I stand at the edge of a technological development that seems likely, should it arrive, to end employment as I know it. I work at a frontier AI company. With every iteration of our model, I am confronted with something more capable and general than before.” -https://www.palladiummag.com/2024/05/17/my-last-five-years-of-work/
