Everything you need to know about AI is in the first letter of the acronym. Living organisms are greater than the sum of their parts where code is NOT.
-
Natalie is one of the very few voices of common sense and sanity around this topic.
-
God I love Nat. Absolute bombshell, brilliant Bitcoiner. Expert in multiple fields and eloquently describes these issues. Great episode guys!

One reason why LLMs feel intelligent to people is because they’re trained to predict the next word given previous context. They are universal function approximators, with a huge number of parameters. Since many tasks that require intelligence can be approximated via next word prediction (because we can write them down in text), LLMs can simulate many tasks to varying degrees of accuracy. Equating the thing with a simulation of the thing is a map vs. territory error.

Brilliant, thank you for a fascinating overview of AI issues 👍👍
-
Awesome pod! Natalie is so great to listen to. Please have her on again after the US elections, I think that will be a great time to sync back up with Natalie and get an understanding of what may change given the election outcome.

Great conversation Peter. Measured questions and answers. Some really curious questions about humanity especially Natalie's take on diplomacy. Thanks for the podcast.

love this conversation. It is amazing how ego centric we view our world . AI may just want to think larger because it sees how small we think
-
