    timeline of what happens next what it
  • 00:02:29
    means and we can do about it we're going
  • 00:02:31

  • 00:03:18
    have about I didn't look at the
  • 00:03:19
    countdown clock about 28 days left until
  • 00:03:22
    the event so Mike and I have a lot of
  • 00:03:24
    work to do over the next uh month or so

    use that pod 200 code all right Mike um
  • 00:03:36
    it I don't even know where to go with
  • 00:03:37
    the strawberry thing but let's go ahead
  • 00:03:39
    and get into what's happening at open
  • 00:03:41
    aai which seems like the weekly
  • 00:03:42
    recurring topic and then this strawberry
  • 00:03:45
    thing that just is taking out a life of
  • 00:03:47
    its own yeah there's never a dull moment
  • 00:03:50
    at open AI it certainly seems because
  • 00:03:53
    first they are experiencing some pretty
  • 00:03:56
    serious leadership changes so we're
  • 00:03:58
    going to first just te that up and then
  • 00:04:00
    talk about what the heck strawberry is
  • 00:04:02
    and what's going on with it so first up
  • 00:04:05
    Greg Brockman open AI president and
  • 00:04:07
    co-founder said he's taking an extended
  • 00:04:10
    leave of absence which he says just as
  • 00:04:12
    sabatical until the end of the year at
  • 00:04:15
    the same time John Schulman another
  • 00:04:18
    co-founder and a key leader in AI has
  • 00:04:21
    left open AI to join rival company
  • 00:04:24
    anthropic and he said he wanted to work
  • 00:04:26
    more deeply on AI alignment and that's
  • 00:04:29
    why he is is leaving uh possibly related
  • 00:04:32
    possibly not Peter Deng a product leader
  • 00:04:34
    who joined open AI last year from meta
  • 00:04:37
    has also Departed the company so you
  • 00:04:39
    know as you recall these aren't the only
  • 00:04:42
    or first people to have left I mean Ilia
  • 00:04:44
    satk left after all sorts of controversy
  • 00:04:47
    last year around the boardroom coup to
  • 00:04:49
    OU Sam Alman and Andre carpath has left
  • 00:04:53
    to go work on an AI education startup so
  • 00:04:57
    these kinds of Departures of really LED
  • 00:05:00
    some industry observers to question like
  • 00:05:03
    how close is open AI really to breaking
  • 00:05:06
    through uh to creating AGI so AI
  • 00:05:09
    researcher Benjamin deer put it in a
  • 00:05:12
    post on X he put it really well he said
  • 00:05:14
    quote if open AI is right on the verge
  • 00:05:16
    of AI why do prominent people keep
  • 00:05:20
    leaving and he went on to say quote
  • 00:05:22
    genuine question if you were pretty sure
  • 00:05:24
    the company you're a key part of and
  • 00:05:26
    have equity in is about to crack AGI
  • 00:05:29
    within one two years why would you jump
  • 00:05:31
    ship now interestingly in parallel to
  • 00:05:35
    this and Paul I'll let you kind of
  • 00:05:38
    unpack this for us there have been a
  • 00:05:40
    series of very cryptic posts referencing
  • 00:05:43
    strawberry which is an open AI project
  • 00:05:47
    we had referenced previously centered
  • 00:05:49
    around Advanced reasoning capabilities
  • 00:05:51
    for AI that have been posts that have
  • 00:05:54
    been engaged with by Sam mman posts
  • 00:05:56
    coming from Anonymous accounts really
  • 00:05:58
    does seem in a weird way like something
  • 00:06:00
    is brewing when it comes to Strawberry
  • 00:06:03
    as well as we're seeing more and more
  • 00:06:04
    references both from Sam and from other
  • 00:06:06
    parties in relation to those possible AI
  • 00:06:10
    capabilities so Paul let's kind of maybe
  • 00:06:13
    take this one step at a time like I want
  • 00:06:16
    to start off with the question that the
  • 00:06:19
    AI researcher posed if open AI is right
  • 00:06:21
    on the verge of
  • 00:06:23
    AGI why do you think prominent people
  • 00:06:26
    like these are
  • 00:06:27
    leaving yeah it's a really good question
  • 00:06:29
    I have no idea all any of us can really
  • 00:06:31
    do at this point is speculate the couple
  • 00:06:34
    of notes I would make related to this is
  • 00:06:37
    Greg and John or co-founders like I
  • 00:06:39
    would assume their shares have vested
  • 00:06:41
    long ago in open AI so unless you know
  • 00:06:44
    more shares are granted or they have
  • 00:06:45
    some that have invested their their
  • 00:06:48
    money is safe either way so if Craig
  • 00:06:50
    wants to piece out for a while and
  • 00:06:52
    things keep going his his Equity is not
  • 00:06:55
    going anywhere so I don't think their
  • 00:06:58
    Equity has anything to do with whether
  • 00:07:00
    or not a breakthrough has been made
  • 00:07:01
    internally or whether the next model is
  • 00:07:04
    you know on the precipice of coming um
  • 00:07:07
    so Greg is supposedly taking leave of
  • 00:07:09
    absence as you said maybe he is maybe
  • 00:07:11
    he's done I I don't know yeah and maybe
  • 00:07:14
    Jon's leaving because he thinks AGI is
  • 00:07:16
    actually near and anthropic is a better
  • 00:07:18
    place to work on safety and Alignment so
  • 00:07:21
    I don't know that we can read anything
  • 00:07:23
    into any of this really it's it's
  • 00:07:25
    complicated and I think we just got to
  • 00:07:27
    let it sort of play out um I do have a
  • 00:07:30
    lot of unanswered questions about the
  • 00:07:32
    timing of Greg's leave and so on August
  • 00:07:36
    5th is when he tweeted I'm taking a
  • 00:07:38
    sabatical through end of year first time
  • 00:07:40
    to relax since co-founding open AI 9
  • 00:07:42
    years ago the mission is far from
  • 00:07:45
    complete we still have a safe AGI to
  • 00:07:47
    build um he then tweeted on August 8th
  • 00:07:51
    uh this first tweet since he left or
  • 00:07:54
    went on sabatical a surprisingly hard
  • 00:07:56
    part of my break is beginning the fear
  • 00:07:58
    of missing out for everything happening
  • 00:07:59
    at openai right now lots of results
  • 00:08:01
    cooking I've poured my life for the past
  • 00:08:04
    nine years into open AI including the
  • 00:08:06
    entirety of my marriage our work is
  • 00:08:08
    important to me but so is life I feel
  • 00:08:11
    okay taking this time in part because
  • 00:08:12
    our research safety and product progress
  • 00:08:15
    is so strong I'm super grateful for the
  • 00:08:17
    team we've built and it's unprecedented
  • 00:08:19
    Talent density and proud of our progress
  • 00:08:22
    looking forward to completing our
  • 00:08:23
    mission together so I don't I mean I
  • 00:08:25
    don't know he doesn't really tweet about
  • 00:08:26
    his personal life too much it kind of
  • 00:08:28
    indicates me like maybe this is just uh
  • 00:08:31
    to get his personal life in order you
  • 00:08:33
    know give some Focus to that after 9
  • 00:08:35
    years maybe that's all it is um and then
  • 00:08:39
    I just kind of scann back to see well
  • 00:08:40
    what has he been tweeting leading up to
  • 00:08:41
    this he doesn't do as many cryptic
  • 00:08:43
    tweets as Sam Alman he he does his own
  • 00:08:45
    fair share but his last like six tweets
  • 00:08:49
    were all pretty product related so on
  • 00:08:52
    718 so July 18th he said just released a
  • 00:08:55
    new state of Art and fast cheap but
  • 00:08:57
    still quite capable models that was the
  • 00:08:58
    four uh o mini which we're going to talk
  • 00:09:01
    more about on July 18th just launched
  • 00:09:04
    chat gbt Enterprise comp compliance
  • 00:09:06
    controls and then featured some of their
  • 00:09:08
    Enterprise customers like BCG and PWC
  • 00:09:11
    and Los
  • 00:09:12
    Alamos on July 25th search gbt prototype
  • 00:09:16
    now live and then on July 30th advanced
  • 00:09:18
    voice mode rolling out so he's he's been
  • 00:09:20
    very product focused in his tweets so we
  • 00:09:22
    can't really learn too much from that
  • 00:09:24
    the thing I found unusual is Sam Alman
  • 00:09:26
    didn't reply to Greg's tweet Sam replies
  • 00:09:28
    to every high-profile person's tweet
  • 00:09:30
    that leaves or you know temporarily
  • 00:09:32
    separates from open AI so for example uh
  • 00:09:36
    the same day that Greg announced he was
  • 00:09:39
    taking a sabatical John scholman
  • 00:09:41
    announced he was leaving and Sam posted
  • 00:09:44
    25 minutes later a reply to John's tweet
  • 00:09:47
    saying we will miss you tremendously
  • 00:09:49
    telling the story of how they met in
  • 00:09:51
    2015 um so I just thought it was weird
  • 00:09:55
    that he didn't individually tweet about
  • 00:09:57
    or reply to Greg's tweet
  • 00:09:59
    again can you read anything to that I
  • 00:10:01
    don't know it's just out of the ordinary
  • 00:10:04
    um and maybe it's because he was too
  • 00:10:06
    busy vague tweeting about strawberries
  • 00:10:08
    and AGI to deal with it so yeah so maybe
  • 00:10:13
    because that is such a key piece of this
  • 00:10:14
    is amidst all these like Personnel
  • 00:10:16
    changes which is what everyone's like
  • 00:10:18
    you know the headlines are focused on
  • 00:10:19
    there's all these cryptic tweets he's
  • 00:10:22
    been posting about AGI about strawberry
  • 00:10:26
    can you maybe walk us through like
  • 00:10:28
    what's going on here because you know as
  • 00:10:30
    we've seen in the past I think on this
  • 00:10:31
    show and just in our work like paying
  • 00:10:34
    attention to what he posts is usually a
  • 00:10:37
    very good idea yeah so the last like
  • 00:10:40
    four days have been kind of insane if
  • 00:10:43
    you follow the the inner people within
  • 00:10:47
    the AI world so if you'll recall the
  • 00:10:51
    strawberry thing this codename
  • 00:10:52
    strawberry project was first reported by
  • 00:10:54
    Reuters um we talked about an episode
  • 00:10:57
    106 so about a month ago uh we talked
  • 00:11:00
    about this so at the time reuter said
  • 00:11:02
    strawberry appears to be a novel
  • 00:11:03
    approach to AI models aimed at
  • 00:11:05
    dramatically improving their reasoning
  • 00:11:07
    capabilities the Project's goal is to
  • 00:11:09
    enable AI to plan ahead and navigate the
  • 00:11:11
    inter internet autonomously to perform
  • 00:11:13
    what openai calls deep research while
  • 00:11:16
    details about how strawberry works are
  • 00:11:17
    tightly guarded open AI appears to be
  • 00:11:19
    hoping that this Innovation will
  • 00:11:21
    significantly enhance its AI models
  • 00:11:23
    ability to reason the project involves a
  • 00:11:26
    specialized way of processing AI models
  • 00:11:28
    after they've been pre-trained on large
  • 00:11:31
    data sets now the strawberry reference
  • 00:11:33
    we also talked about in episode 106 uh
  • 00:11:36
    half jokingly but I'm not so sure it
  • 00:11:39
    isn't true uh is maybe a way to troll
  • 00:11:41
    Elon Musk so if you'll remember Elon
  • 00:11:44
    Musk was involved early days of open Ai
  • 00:11:47
    and in
  • 00:11:48
    2017 three months before the Transformer
  • 00:11:52
    paper came out from Google brain that
  • 00:11:54
    invented the Transformer which is the
  • 00:11:56
    basis for GPT generative pre-trained
  • 00:11:58
    Transformer
  • 00:11:59
    Elon Musk who was still working with
  • 00:12:02
    opening eye in same moment at the time
  • 00:12:04
    said let's uh say you create a
  • 00:12:06
    self-improving AI to pick strawberries
  • 00:12:09
    and it gets better and better at picking
  • 00:12:10
    strawberries and picks more and more and
  • 00:12:12
    it is self-improving so all it really
  • 00:12:14
    wants to do is pick strawberries so then
  • 00:12:16
    it would have all this world be
  • 00:12:18
    Strawberry Fields Strawberry Fields
  • 00:12:20
    Forever and there would be no room for
  • 00:12:22
    human beings so that was kind of like
  • 00:12:24
    episode 106 we just sort of talked about
  • 00:12:26
    it it was in Reuters now fast forward to
  • 00:12:31
    August 7th so this is now 2 days after
  • 00:12:33
    Greg announces his sabatical Sam tweets
  • 00:12:36
    a picture of actual strawberries not AI
  • 00:12:38
    generated and he says I love my summer
  • 00:12:41
    garden so here's Sam veg tweeting about
  • 00:12:45
    strawberries uh about seven hours later
  • 00:12:49
    a new Twitter account called I rule the
  • 00:12:52
    worldo and double check me on that mic
  • 00:12:55
    make sure I'm getting the right Twitter
  • 00:12:56
    handle here tweeted in all
  • 00:13:00
    lowercase um now which is Sam's sort of
  • 00:13:03
    Mo is all lowercase welcome to level two
  • 00:13:06
    how do you feel did I make you feel and
  • 00:13:09
    Sam now keep in mind this account had
  • 00:13:11
    been created that morning Sam actually
  • 00:13:15
    replied amazing TBH to be honest so Sam
  • 00:13:20
    replied to this random Twitter account
  • 00:13:24
    that was tweeting about AGI and
  • 00:13:27
    strawberries so what what is level two
  • 00:13:30
    so what is this welcome to level two
  • 00:13:32
    tweet well um level two as reported in
  • 00:13:36
    July 2024 by Rachel Mets of Bloomberg is
  • 00:13:40
    that openai has come up with a set of
  • 00:13:42
    five levels to track its progress
  • 00:13:45
    towards building AI software capable of
  • 00:13:47
    outperforming humans they shared this
  • 00:13:50
    new classification system with employees
  • 00:13:52
    that Tuesday so this is in early July at
  • 00:13:55
    the meeting company leadership gave a
  • 00:13:57
    demonstration of a research project
  • 00:13:59
    involving gp4 a model that open AI
  • 00:14:02
    thinks shows some new skills that rise
  • 00:14:05
    to humanlike reasoning so the assumption
  • 00:14:07
    is whatever strawberry is was shown to
  • 00:14:09
    the their employees in early July now
  • 00:14:13
    their five levels are level one chat
  • 00:14:15
    Bots AI with conversational language
  • 00:14:17
    that's what we have level two reasoners
  • 00:14:20
    human level problem solving that's the
  • 00:14:23
    Assumption of what we are about to enter
  • 00:14:25
    level three agents systems that can take
  • 00:14:28
    actions we don't have those yet uh other
  • 00:14:30
    than demonstrations of them level four
  • 00:14:33
    innovators AI that can Aid in invention
  • 00:14:36
    that is not currently possible level
  • 00:14:39
    five organizations AI that can do the
  • 00:14:41
    work of an organization this goes back
  • 00:14:43
    to uh something we talked about an
  • 00:14:45
    article earlier on with Ilia suavo where
  • 00:14:47
    he was quoted in the Atlantic as talking
  • 00:14:49
    about these like Hive like organizations
  • 00:14:51
    where there's just hundreds or thousands
  • 00:14:53
    of AI agents do these things so the IR
  • 00:14:56
    rule of the world Mo Twitter account
  • 00:14:57
    let's go back to that for a second
  • 00:14:59
    the profile picture is W Phoenix from
  • 00:15:02
    the movie Her with three strawberry
  • 00:15:04
    emojis so that's the what the Twitter
  • 00:15:06
    account States um the first tweet from
  • 00:15:09
    that account was August 7th at 1:33 p.m.
  • 00:15:13
    so again that's right before Sam replied
  • 00:15:16
    to this account so Sam is aware of this
  • 00:15:19
    account very very very early in its
  • 00:15:21
    existence um so that that reply was to
  • 00:15:25
    some yam pelig I don't know who he is uh
  • 00:15:27
    he's an AI guy he had said feel the AGI
  • 00:15:31
    guys and this I rule the world Mo
  • 00:15:33
    account tweeted nice um the account then
  • 00:15:36
    started a flood of hundreds of
  • 00:15:38
    strawberry and AI related tweets
  • 00:15:40
    multiple times referencing Sam's garden
  • 00:15:42
    tweet with his pictures of strawberries
  • 00:15:44
    and implying that a major release is
  • 00:15:46
    coming so I'll just run through a few of
  • 00:15:48
    these to give you a sense of what's
  • 00:15:49
    going on so later on August 7th um
  • 00:15:53
    tweets Sam strawberry isn't just ripe
  • 00:15:55
    it's ready tonight we taste the fruit of
  • 00:15:57
    AGI The Singularity has
  • 00:15:59
    flavor uh the three minutes later
  • 00:16:01
    someone very high up is boosting my
  • 00:16:03
    account guess who in other words the
  • 00:16:05
    algorithm at Twitter immediately started
  • 00:16:08
    um juicing this Anonymous account and it
  • 00:16:11
    was very obvious that it was happening
  • 00:16:13
    and thousands of people were starting to
  • 00:16:15
    follow it um 21 minutes later Alman
  • 00:16:18
    strawberry isn't a fruit it's a key
  • 00:16:20
    tonight we unlock the door to Super
  • 00:16:21
    intelligence are you ready to step
  • 00:16:22
    through eight minutes later it turns out
  • 00:16:24
    that I'm AGI oh if it turns out I'm AGI
  • 00:16:27
    I'll be so pissed cuz because now people
  • 00:16:29
    are trying to like at this point guess
  • 00:16:31
    what is this account is this an AI like
  • 00:16:33
    is someone running a test is this
  • 00:16:35
    actually like open AI screwing around
  • 00:16:37
    with people is it something else um six
  • 00:16:40
    minutes later it tweets no one's guest
  • 00:16:42
    grock yet even though they know of Elon
  • 00:16:44
    Musk engineering prowess and his super
  • 00:16:46
    clusters obviously I'm not saying I'm
  • 00:16:48
    grock but just that it's kind of odd
  • 00:16:50
    right and then on 'll fast forward to
  • 00:16:54
    August 10th so just a couple days ago
  • 00:16:57
    and the this Anon count tweeted a rather
  • 00:17:01
    extensive what appears to be very
  • 00:17:03
    accurate summary of open aai in the
  • 00:17:05
    current situation and this connects back
  • 00:17:07
    to Greg in a moment so the Tweet is rust
  • 00:17:09
    a little but we'll refine and add some
  • 00:17:11
    more info I've been given in it if it
  • 00:17:14
    bangs project strawberry qstar AI
  • 00:17:18
    explained has been close to this for a
  • 00:17:20
    while so I'd watch them for a cleaner
  • 00:17:22
    take if you want to dig in this is what
  • 00:17:24
    ilas saw it's what has broken Math
  • 00:17:26
    benchmarks it's more Ain to
  • 00:17:28
    reinforcement learning human feedback
  • 00:17:30
    then throwing compute at the problem um
  • 00:17:33
    gets into strawberry and larger models
  • 00:17:34
    comes on Thursday so they're implying
  • 00:17:37
    this week think of LM fine- tuned to
  • 00:17:39
    reason like a human hence why Sam liked
  • 00:17:41
    the level two comment and felt great
  • 00:17:43
    about it Ilia did not here we are and
  • 00:17:46
    then it talks about what I talked about
  • 00:17:48
    last week that maybe we're actually
  • 00:17:50
    seeing the future model with a
  • 00:17:52
    combination of Sora voice video and then
  • 00:17:55
    all the stuff that's going into safety
  • 00:17:57
    it goes on to say that uh GPT next
  • 00:18:00
    internally called gptx you can call it
  • 00:18:02
    GPT 5 it says is also ready to go Lots
  • 00:18:06
    here relies on safety and what Google
  • 00:18:08
    does next it's difficult to say if
  • 00:18:10
    competition Will trump safety the this
  • 00:18:13
    next model is through red teaming it's
  • 00:18:14
    finished post training is done it's an
  • 00:18:17
    enormous leap in capabilities and on and
  • 00:18:19
    on and on um and then as of this morning
  • 00:18:23
    so 5:27 a.m. eastern time on August 12th
  • 00:18:27
    this anonymous tweets attention isn't
  • 00:18:30
    all you need referring to the attention
  • 00:18:31
    is all you need Transformer paper from
  • 00:18:34
    2017 new architecture announcement
  • 00:18:36
    August 13th at 10: a.m. Pacific Time The
  • 00:18:39
    Singularity begins now oddly enough the
  • 00:18:43
    next made by Google event is August 13th
  • 00:18:47
    at 10 a.m. Pacific now I don't know if
  • 00:18:49
    that's a reference to depending on what
  • 00:18:51
    Google does whether or not this next
  • 00:18:52
    model gets released so the question is
  • 00:18:54
    what is this I rule the world Mo account
  • 00:18:57
    which at the moment of recording this
  • 00:18:59
    has almost 23.5 th000 followers which it
  • 00:19:02
    has amassed in four days it is getting
  • 00:19:05
    Juiced obviously by Twitter SLX and
  • 00:19:08
    maybe Elon Musk himself um is it like an
  • 00:19:12
    anonymous count of gb5 like are they
  • 00:19:14
    running an experiment It's actually an
  • 00:19:15
    AI is it Elon trolling open AI for
  • 00:19:19
    trolling him and it's actually like
  • 00:19:21
    grock 2 is it a human who has a massive
  • 00:19:25
    amount of time on their hands is it
  • 00:19:26
    another like we don't know but but then
  • 00:19:29
    to add to the mystery last night Arvin
  • 00:19:32
    serenos the founder of perplexity shows
  • 00:19:36
    a screenshot that says how many RS are
  • 00:19:39
    there in this sentence there are many
  • 00:19:42
    strawberries in a sentence that's about
  • 00:19:45
    strawberries and whatever model he was
  • 00:19:48
    teasing got it correct which is a
  • 00:19:50
    notoriously difficult problem and he put
  • 00:19:53
    guess what model this is with a
  • 00:19:55
    strawberry in it the implication being
  • 00:19:57
    that perplex is running whatever this
  • 00:20:01
    strawberry model is then for following
  • 00:20:05
    along at home Elon at 6:38 p.m on August
  • 00:20:09
    11th tweets grock 2 Beta release coming
  • 00:20:12
    soon so what does this all mean I have
  • 00:20:16
    no idea who this Anonymous account is
  • 00:20:19
    but it does appear something significant
  • 00:20:21
    is coming we may have a new model this
  • 00:20:24
    week it may already be in testing with
  • 00:20:26
    perplexity Pro um I think we will find
  • 00:20:29
    out sooner than later so now back real
  • 00:20:32
    quick to Greg what does this mean for
  • 00:20:34
    open eye and Greg a his work is done for
  • 00:20:37
    now and this whatever he has now built
  • 00:20:40
    whatever this thing that is in its final
  • 00:20:42
    you know training and safety is is
  • 00:20:44
    whatever model that is won't be released
  • 00:20:46
    until he returns at the end of the year
  • 00:20:48
    I find that doubtful uh his work is done
  • 00:20:51
    for now and he's leaving the team to
  • 00:20:52
    handle the launch or nothing has changed
  • 00:20:55
    internally there is no Mage release
  • 00:20:56
    coming and he's just taking time off
  • 00:20:59
    if I was a betting man I'm going with
  • 00:21:01
    option b I think Greg is heavily
  • 00:21:03
    involved in the building of these models
  • 00:21:06
    I think the work of building the next
  • 00:21:08
    model is complete and they're just
  • 00:21:11
    finalizing timing and plans for the
  • 00:21:13
    release of that model um and I think
  • 00:21:17
    he's stepping aside to take some
  • 00:21:19
    personal time and come back
  • 00:21:23
    uh so I don't know Mike I don't know if
  • 00:21:26
    you followed along the craziness of the
  • 00:21:28
    strawberry Stu over the weekend but I
  • 00:21:29
    mean that account has tweeted I don't
  • 00:21:31
    know how many tweets it actually it has
  • 00:21:32
    to be over a thousand like in the first
  • 00:21:34
    four
  • 00:21:35
    days it is I mean look obviously we've
  • 00:21:39
    said we have no idea what this all ends
  • 00:21:42
    up meaning but the fact I think there's
  • 00:21:44
    something directionally important about
  • 00:21:46
    the fact we're even talking about this
  • 00:21:48
    and taking it seriously these kinds of
  • 00:21:50
    breakthroughs and levels of AGI or call
  • 00:21:53
    it Advanced artificial intelligence
  • 00:21:55
    whatever you'd like to term it um it
  • 00:21:58
    really does speak to kind of some of the
  • 00:22:00
    paths and trajectories that we've been
  • 00:22:02
    kind of anticipating throughout the last
  • 00:22:04
    year or two yeah my guess that it is it
  • 00:22:07
    is some form of ani I think there's some
  • 00:22:09
    a human in the loop here yeah but I
  • 00:22:12
    don't think a human is is managing this
  • 00:22:14
    so I do think it's probably some model I
  • 00:22:17
    don't know whose model it is um and I
  • 00:22:20
    think it's an experiment being run and
  • 00:22:22
    the fascinating thing is it's not just
  • 00:22:25
    24,000 random followers it's 24,000
  • 00:22:28
    people who are paying very close
  • 00:22:30
    attention to AI who are not only
  • 00:22:32
    following but who are interacting with
  • 00:22:33
    it and so what do we learn from this
  • 00:22:36
    experiment like whoever it is whatever
  • 00:22:39
    model it is in four days time it amass
  • 00:22:42
    24,000 followers including a lot of
  • 00:22:44
    influential AI people who are not only
  • 00:22:46
    engaging with it but trying to figure
  • 00:22:48
    out what it is who it is so I don't know
  • 00:22:52
    there's just a lot to be learned you
  • 00:22:54
    know when we can look back and
  • 00:22:56
    understand a little bit more about this
  • 00:22:58
    moment I I there's just I have a sense
  • 00:23:00
    that this is a meaningful moment while
  • 00:23:03
    the anonymous account itself may end up
  • 00:23:06
    being seemingly insignificant when we
  • 00:23:08
    find out what it actually is I think
  • 00:23:10
    that there's a lot of underlying things
  • 00:23:12
    to be learned from this and if it is an
  • 00:23:14
    AI that is doing most of the
  • 00:23:17
    engagement that's going to be kind of
  • 00:23:23
    interesting all right so in our second
  • 00:23:26
    big topic today um Paul I'm going to
  • 00:23:29
    basically turn this over to you but you
  • 00:23:31
    through uh your company smarter x. have
  • 00:23:35
    built a chat GPT powered tool called
  • 00:23:38
    jobs GPT and this is a tool that is
  • 00:23:42
    designed to assess the impact of AI
  • 00:23:45
    specifically large language models on
  • 00:23:48
    jobs and the future of work so basically
  • 00:23:50
    you can use this tool we both used it a
  • 00:23:52
    bunch to assess how AI is going to
  • 00:23:55
    impact knowledge workers by breaking
  • 00:23:57
    your job in into a series of tasks and
  • 00:24:00
    then starting to label those tasks based
  • 00:24:02
    on perhaps the ability of an llm to
  • 00:24:06
    perform that for you so really the whole
  • 00:24:07
    goal here is whether it's your job other
  • 00:24:09
    people's jobs within your company or in
  • 00:24:11
    other Industries you can use jobs GPT to
  • 00:24:15
    actually unpack okay how do I actually
  • 00:24:17
    start um transforming my work using
  • 00:24:21
    artificial intelligence what levels of
  • 00:24:22
    exposure does my work have to possible
  • 00:24:25
    AI disruption so Paul I wanted to turned
  • 00:24:28
    over to you and just kind of get a sense
  • 00:24:30
    of why did you create this tool why now
  • 00:24:33
    why is this important yeah so this is
  • 00:24:36
    going to be a little bit behind the
  • 00:24:38
    scenes this isn't like a highly
  • 00:24:40
    orchestrated launch of a tool this is um
  • 00:24:44
    something I've basically been working on
  • 00:24:46
    for a couple months and over the weekend
  • 00:24:48
    I was messaging Mike and saying Hey or I
  • 00:24:50
    think Friday I messaged Mike said hey I
  • 00:24:52
    think we're going to launch this thing
  • 00:24:53
    like next week we'll just you know talk
  • 00:24:54
    about on the podcast and put it out into
  • 00:24:56
    the world and I think part of this is um
  • 00:24:59
    the smarter X company you know you
  • 00:25:01
    mentioned so we we announced smarter x
  • 00:25:03
    uh it just smarter x. is the URL um in
  • 00:25:07
    in June and the premise here is I've
  • 00:25:09
    been working on this for a couple years
  • 00:25:11
    this company it's a AI research and
  • 00:25:13
    consulting firm but heavy focus on the
  • 00:25:14
    research side and the way I Envision the
  • 00:25:17
    future of research firms is much more
  • 00:25:20
    real-time research not spending 6 months
  • 00:25:22
    12 months working on a report that's
  • 00:25:25
    outdated the minute it comes out because
  • 00:25:26
    the models have changed since you did
  • 00:25:28
    the research I envision our research
  • 00:25:31
    firm being much more real time and
  • 00:25:34
    honestly where a lot of the research is
  • 00:25:36
    going to be things we dive deep on and
  • 00:25:38
    then Mike and I talk about on podcast
  • 00:25:40
    episodes and so I would say that this is
  • 00:25:43
    probably jobs GPT is uh sort of our
  • 00:25:46
    first public facing research initiative
  • 00:25:49
    that I've chosen just to put out into
  • 00:25:50
    the world to start accelerating like the
  • 00:25:52
    conversation around this stuff so um it
  • 00:25:55
    is not available in the GPT store it's a
  • 00:25:57
    beta release so if you want to go play
  • 00:25:59
    with it you can do it while we're
  • 00:26:01
    talking about this and follow along uh
  • 00:26:03
    just go to smarter x. and click on tools
  • 00:26:05
    and and it's it's right there um now the
  • 00:26:08
    reason we're doing it that way is
  • 00:26:09
    because I may iterate on versions of
  • 00:26:12
    this um pretty rapidly and so we're just
  • 00:26:15
    going to keep updating it and then the
  • 00:26:16
    link from our smarter site will be
  • 00:26:19
    linking to the most current version of
  • 00:26:21
    it so why why was this built I'm going
  • 00:26:24
    to talk a little bit about the origin of
  • 00:26:25
    the idea a little bit about how I did it
  • 00:26:28
    and then back to why it matters I think
  • 00:26:31
    and why people should be experimenting
  • 00:26:34
    with stuff like this so you you
  • 00:26:36
    highlighted two main things Mike so we
  • 00:26:38
    talk to companies all the time on the
  • 00:26:41
    was episode 105 we talked about like the
  • 00:26:43
    lack of adoption and Education and
  • 00:26:44
    Training around these AI platforms
  • 00:26:47
    specifically large language models we're
  • 00:26:49
    turning employees loose with these
  • 00:26:51
    platforms and not teaching them how to
  • 00:26:53
    use them not teaching them how to
  • 00:26:54
    prioritize use cases and identify the
  • 00:26:56
    things that are going to save them time
  • 00:26:58
    or make the greatest impact and then at
  • 00:27:00
    the higher level this idea that we need
  • 00:27:02
    to be assessing the future of work and
  • 00:27:05
    the future of jobs by trying to project
  • 00:27:07
    out one to two models from now what are
  • 00:27:10
    these things going to be capable of that
  • 00:27:12
    maybe they're not capable of today
  • 00:27:14
    that's going to affect the workforce and
  • 00:27:17
    and jobs and job loss and disruption so
  • 00:27:20
    when I set out to build this I had those
  • 00:27:23
    two main things in mind prioritize AI
  • 00:27:25
    use cases like hold people's hand help
  • 00:27:27
    them find the things where AI can create
  • 00:27:29
    value in their specific role and then
  • 00:27:32
    help leaders prepare for the future of
  • 00:27:34
    work
  • 00:27:36
    so how how it kind of came to be though
  • 00:27:38
    so I I've shared before since early last
  • 00:27:42
    year when I do my Keynotes I often end
  • 00:27:44
    for like leadership audiences with five
  • 00:27:47
    steps to scaling AI those became the
  • 00:27:50
    foundation for our scaling AI course
  • 00:27:52
    series those five steps as a quick recap
  • 00:27:55
    are Education and Training so build an
  • 00:27:57
    AI Academy step one build AI Council
  • 00:28:00
    step two step three is Gen policies
  • 00:28:02
    responsible principles step four and
  • 00:28:05
    this is when we're going to come back to
  • 00:28:06
    AI impact assessments step five AI
  • 00:28:09
    roadmap now the AI impact assessments
  • 00:28:11
    when I was creating that course for
  • 00:28:13
    scaling AI course 8 I was creating this
  • 00:28:15
    at the end of May early June of this
  • 00:28:18
    year I wanted to find a way to assess
  • 00:28:21
    the impact today but to forecast the
  • 00:28:24
    impact tomorrow and since we don't know
  • 00:28:28
    really what these models are going to be
  • 00:28:30
    capable of I wanted to build a way to
  • 00:28:32
    try and project this so the way I did
  • 00:28:34
    this is I went back to the August 2023
  • 00:28:38
    paper gpts are gpts and early look at
  • 00:28:41
    the labor market impact potential of
  • 00:28:43
    large language models so what that means
  • 00:28:47
    is generative pre-trained Transformers
  • 00:28:49
    the basis for these language models are
  • 00:28:51
    General uh I just lost purpose
  • 00:28:55
    Technologies so gpts are gpts that paper
  • 00:28:58
    says quote August 2023 open AI research
  • 00:29:02
    paper investigates the potential
  • 00:29:04
    implications of large language models
  • 00:29:06
    such as generative pre-train
  • 00:29:07
    Transformers on the US Labor Market
  • 00:29:10
    focusing on increasing capabilities
  • 00:29:12
    arising from llm powered software
  • 00:29:14
    compared to llms on their own so they're
  • 00:29:17
    trying to look at when we take the basis
  • 00:29:19
    of this this large language model and
  • 00:29:21
    then we enhance it with other software
  • 00:29:23
    what does it become capable of and how
  • 00:29:24
    disruptive is that to the workforce um
  • 00:29:27
    using new rubric we assess occupations
  • 00:29:29
    based on their alignment with llm
  • 00:29:31
    capabilities uh then they used human
  • 00:29:33
    expertise and GPT classifications their
  • 00:29:36
    finding revealed that around 80% of the
  • 00:29:38
    US Workforce would have at least 10% of
  • 00:29:41
    their work tasks affected by the
  • 00:29:43
    introduction of large language models
  • 00:29:45
    while approximately 19% of workers may
  • 00:29:47
    see at least 50% of their tasks impacted
  • 00:29:50
    we do not make predictions about the
  • 00:29:52
    development or adoption timelines of
  • 00:29:54
    such llms the projected effects span all
  • 00:29:57
    wage levels and higher income jobs
  • 00:29:59
    potentially facing greater exposure to
  • 00:30:01
    llm capabilities and llm powered
  • 00:30:04
    software they then go into kind of how
  • 00:30:07
    they did this where they take the onet
  • 00:30:09
    database which I've talked about in the
  • 00:30:10
    show before but if you go to onet it has
  • 00:30:12
    like 900 occupations in there and it'll
  • 00:30:15
    actually give you the tasks associated
  • 00:30:17
    with those occupations so you can kind
  • 00:30:19
    of like train the model on these
  • 00:30:21
    tasks um their findings consistently
  • 00:30:24
    show across both human and gp4
  • 00:30:26
    annotations that most occupations
  • 00:30:28
    exhibit some degree of exposure to large
  • 00:30:30
    language models occupations with high
  • 00:30:32
    higher wages generally present with
  • 00:30:33
    higher exposure um so basically what
  • 00:30:37
    they did is they took um two levels of
  • 00:30:42
    exposure so there was no exposure
  • 00:30:43
    meaning the large language model isn't
  • 00:30:45
    going to impact a job so very little
  • 00:30:47
    exposure and then they took direct
  • 00:30:49
    exposure so if using a chat GPT like a
  • 00:30:53
    large language model chat GPT um that it
  • 00:30:55
    could affect the the job that it it
  • 00:30:58
    would it would be able to do it at like
  • 00:30:59
    a human level and it would affect the um
  • 00:31:03
    that job within the workforce and then
  • 00:31:05
    they took another exposure level they
  • 00:31:07
    called level two and said if we took the
  • 00:31:09
    language model and we gave it software
  • 00:31:11
    capabilities how much impact would it
  • 00:31:13
    then have so when I was creating the
  • 00:31:17
    scaling AI course and trying to explain
  • 00:31:19
    to people how to do these AI impact
  • 00:31:21
    assessments I adapted a version of that
  • 00:31:24
    exposure level and I took it out to zero
  • 00:31:26
    to e0 to E 6 where it added image
  • 00:31:29
    capability Vision capability audio and
  • 00:31:32
    reasoning so I I I ran an experiment I
  • 00:31:35
    created this prompt in the course and I
  • 00:31:37
    put it into Gemini and chat GPT and I
  • 00:31:40
    was kind of shocked by the output
  • 00:31:41
    because it assessed jobs with me not
  • 00:31:43
    telling it what the job did I could just
  • 00:31:44
    say like marketing manager and it would
  • 00:31:46
    build out the tasks based in its
  • 00:31:48
    training data of what marketing managers
  • 00:31:50
    do and then it would assess it based on
  • 00:31:53
    exposure levels of those tasks and how
  • 00:31:55
    much time could be saved by using large
  • 00:31:58
    language model with these differ Inc
  • 00:31:59
    capabilities so after I finished
  • 00:32:01
    recording those courses and released
  • 00:32:03
    those in June I couldn't shake the idea
  • 00:32:05
    of like we needed to do more with this
  • 00:32:06
    that this early effort was like really
  • 00:32:08
    valuable and so for the last month and a
  • 00:32:11
    half or so I've been working on a custom
  • 00:32:14
    GPT which is the jobs GPT that we're
  • 00:32:16
    kind of releasing today um but the key
  • 00:32:20
    was to to expand that exposure uh key
  • 00:32:24
    like the exposure levels and so the way
  • 00:32:26
    I design this so this the system prompt
  • 00:32:29
    for this thing is about 8,000 characters
  • 00:32:31
    but the gist of it is that it doesn't
  • 00:32:34
    just look at what an AI model can do to
  • 00:32:36
    your job today whether you're an
  • 00:32:38
    accountant a lawyer a CEO a marketing
  • 00:32:41
    manager a podcast host whatever you do
  • 00:32:44
    it's looking at your job breaking it
  • 00:32:47
    into a series of tasks and then
  • 00:32:49
    projecting out the impact of these
  • 00:32:51
    models as the models get smarter and
  • 00:32:54
    more generally capable so those are the
  • 00:32:56
    exposure levels so I I'll kind of give
  • 00:32:58
    you the breakdown of the exposure key
  • 00:33:00
    here and again you can go play with this
  • 00:33:01
    yourself and as you do an output it'll
  • 00:33:03
    tell you what the exposure key is so
  • 00:33:05
    it'll kind of remind you so the first is
  • 00:33:08
    no exposure the LL cannot reduce the
  • 00:33:10
    time for this task typically requires
  • 00:33:12
    High human interaction Exposure One
  • 00:33:15
    Direct exposure the LL can reduce the
  • 00:33:17
    time required two exposure level two is
  • 00:33:20
    additional software is added so such a
  • 00:33:23
    software like a CRM database and it's
  • 00:33:25
    able to you know write real-time
  • 00:33:26
    summaries about customers and prospects
  • 00:33:29
    E3 is it now have has image capabilities
  • 00:33:32
    so the language model plus the ability
  • 00:33:34
    to view understand caption create and
  • 00:33:36
    edit images E4 is video capabilities so
  • 00:33:39
    it now has the ability to view
  • 00:33:41
    understand caption create and edit
  • 00:33:42
    videos five is audio capabilities which
  • 00:33:45
    we talked about with GP for voice mode
  • 00:33:49
    um so the ability to hear understand
  • 00:33:51
    tread Sky translate output audio and
  • 00:33:53
    have natural conversations through
  • 00:33:55
    devices E6 which is where the strawberry
  • 00:33:58
    stuff comes in so I'll kind of Connect
  • 00:34:00
    the Dots here for people as to why this
  • 00:34:02
    is so critical we're thinking about this
  • 00:34:04
    E6 is exposure given Advanced reasoning
  • 00:34:07
    capabilities so the large language model
  • 00:34:09
    plus the ability to handle complex
  • 00:34:11
    queries solve multi-step problems make
  • 00:34:14
    more accurate predictions understand
  • 00:34:16
    deeper contextual meaning comp compete
  • 00:34:19
    higher level cognitive tasks draw
  • 00:34:21
    conclusions and make decisions E7 which
  • 00:34:24
    we're going to talk about a little later
  • 00:34:25
    on exposure given persuasion
  • 00:34:28
    capabilities uh the llm plus the ability
  • 00:34:30
    to convince someone to change their
  • 00:34:32
    beliefs attitudes intentions motivations
  • 00:34:34
    or behaviors E8 something we've talked
  • 00:34:37
    about a lot on this one AI agents on
  • 00:34:40
    this show exposure given Digital World
  • 00:34:43
    action capabilities so the large
  • 00:34:45
    language model we have today plus AI
  • 00:34:47
    agents with the ability to interact with
  • 00:34:49
    manipulate and perform tasks in digital
  • 00:34:51
    environments just as a human would using
  • 00:34:54
    an interface such as a keyboard and
  • 00:34:55
    mouse or touch or Voice on smartphone E9
  • 00:34:59
    exposure given Physical World Vision
  • 00:35:01
    capabilities this is like project Astra
  • 00:35:03
    from Google Deep Mind so we know labs
  • 00:35:06
    are building these things no Economist I
  • 00:35:08
    know of is projecting impact on
  • 00:35:09
    Workforce based on these things so E9 is
  • 00:35:13
    large language model plus a physical
  • 00:35:15
    device such as phones or glasses that
  • 00:35:17
    enable the system to see understand
  • 00:35:19
    analyze and respond to the physical
  • 00:35:21
    world and then E11 which we'll talk
  • 00:35:23
    about an example in a couple minutes is
  • 00:35:25
    exposure given physical world ability
  • 00:35:28
    like humanoid robots the llm embodied in
  • 00:35:31
    a general purpose bipedal autonomous
  • 00:35:33
    humanoid robot that enables the system
  • 00:35:35
    to see understand analyze respond to and
  • 00:35:37
    take action in the physical world so
  • 00:35:40
    these exposure levels are critical and
  • 00:35:43
    and I I know we're like giving some
  • 00:35:46
    extended time on this podcast to this
  • 00:35:48
    but it is extremely important you
  • 00:35:50
    understand these exposure levels like go
  • 00:35:52
    back and relisten to those go to the
  • 00:35:54
    landing page on smarx and read them we
  • 00:35:57
    we cannot plan our businesses or our
  • 00:36:01
    careers or our next steps as a
  • 00:36:04
    government based on today's capabilities
  • 00:36:06
    this is the number one flaw I see from
  • 00:36:09
    businesses and from economists they are
  • 00:36:11
    making plans based on today's
  • 00:36:13
    capabilities this is why we shared the
  • 00:36:16
    the AI timeline on episode 87 of the
  • 00:36:18
    podcast where we were trying to like see
  • 00:36:19
    around the corner a little bit we have
  • 00:36:21
    to try and look 12 to 18 to 24 months
  • 00:36:25
    out we know all the AI labs are working
  • 00:36:28
    on the things I just explained this is
  • 00:36:31
    what Business Leaders economists
  • 00:36:33
    education leaders government leaders all
  • 00:36:35
    need to be doing we have to be trying to
  • 00:36:38
    project out the impact so this jobs GPT
  • 00:36:41
    is designed to do that you literally
  • 00:36:43
    just go in give it your job title and
  • 00:36:45
    it'll it'll spit out a chart with all
  • 00:36:48
    this analysis so um it's taken a lot of
  • 00:36:52
    trial and error lots of internal testing
  • 00:36:53
    you know I had Mike helped me with some
  • 00:36:55
    of the testing over the last couple
  • 00:36:56
    weeks but the beauty of this is like up
  • 00:36:59
    until November 2023 when open AI
  • 00:37:02
    released gpts custom gpts I couldn't
  • 00:37:05
    have built this like I've built Tools in
  • 00:37:07
    my past life at my a when I owned my
  • 00:37:09
    agency using developers and hundreds of
  • 00:37:12
    thousands of dollars and having to find
  • 00:37:14
    data sources I didn't have to do any of
  • 00:37:17
    that I envisioned a prompt based on an
  • 00:37:19
    exposure level I created with my own
  • 00:37:22
    knowledge and experience and then I just
  • 00:37:25
    played around with custom GPT
  • 00:37:26
    instructions until I got the output I
  • 00:37:28
    wanted I have zero coding ability this
  • 00:37:31
    is purely taking knowledge and being
  • 00:37:34
    able to build a tool that hopefully
  • 00:37:37
    helps people so I'll kind of wrap here
  • 00:37:40
    with like a little bit about the tool
  • 00:37:41
    itself so it is chat GPD powered so
  • 00:37:43
    it'll hallucinate it'll make stuff up um
  • 00:37:46
    but as you highlighted Mike the goal is
  • 00:37:49
    to assess the impact of AI by breaking
  • 00:37:51
    jobs into tasks and then labeling those
  • 00:37:54
    tasks based on these exposure levels so
  • 00:37:57
    it's about an 8,000 character prompt
  • 00:37:59
    which is the limit by the way in custom
  • 00:38:00
    gbts The Prompt is tailored to the
  • 00:38:03
    current capabilities of today's leading
  • 00:38:05
    AI Frontier models and projecting the
  • 00:38:07
    future impact so the way I do that is
  • 00:38:09
    here is the an excerpt of the prompt so
  • 00:38:12
    this is literally the instructions uh
  • 00:38:14
    and this is on the landing page by the
  • 00:38:15
    way if you want to read them consider a
  • 00:38:17
    powerful large language model such as
  • 00:38:19
    GPT 40 Claude 3.5 Gemini 1.5 and llama
  • 00:38:23
    3.1
  • 00:38:24
    405b this model can complete many tasks
  • 00:38:27
    that can be formulated as having text
  • 00:38:29
    and image input and output where the
  • 00:38:31
    context for the input can be measured or
  • 00:38:33
    captured in 128,000 tokens the model can
  • 00:38:36
    draw in facts from its training data
  • 00:38:38
    which stops at October 2023 which is
  • 00:38:40
    actually the cut off for GPT 40 access
  • 00:38:43
    the web for real-time information and
  • 00:38:45
    apply User submitted examples and
  • 00:38:47
    content including text files images and
  • 00:38:49
    spreadsheets again just my instructions
  • 00:38:52
    to the GPT assume you are a knowledge
  • 00:38:54
    worker with an average level of
  • 00:38:56
    expertise your job is a collection of
  • 00:38:59
    tasks this is a really important part of
  • 00:39:01
    the prom you have access to the llm as
  • 00:39:04
    well as any other existing software and
  • 00:39:06
    computer hardware tools mentioned in the
  • 00:39:08
    tasks you also have access to any
  • 00:39:10
    commonly available technical tools
  • 00:39:12
    accessible via a laptop such as
  • 00:39:13
    microphone speakers you do not have
  • 00:39:15
    access to any other physical tools now
  • 00:39:18
    part of that prompt took um is based on
  • 00:39:21
    the gpts are GPT system prompt so that's
  • 00:39:23
    actually kind of where the origin of of
  • 00:39:25
    the inspiration for that prompt came
  • 00:39:26
    from and then the GPT itself has three
  • 00:39:29
    conversation starters enter a job title
  • 00:39:31
    to assess you can literally just put in
  • 00:39:32
    whatever your job title is and it'll
  • 00:39:33
    immediately break it into tasks and give
  • 00:39:35
    you the chart you can provide your job
  • 00:39:37
    description so this is something Mike
  • 00:39:39
    and I teach in our applied AI workshops
  • 00:39:41
    literally just upload your job
  • 00:39:42
    description copy and paste the 20 things
  • 00:39:44
    you're responsible for and it'll assess
  • 00:39:46
    those or you can say just show me an
  • 00:39:49
    example assessment um it then outputs it
  • 00:39:51
    based on task exposure level estimated
  • 00:39:54
    time saved and the rationale which is
  • 00:39:56
    which is the magic of it like the fact
  • 00:39:58
    how it assesses the estimated time it's
  • 00:40:00
    giving you is remarkable um so it's
  • 00:40:04
    powered by Chad GPD as I said it's
  • 00:40:06
    capable of doing beyond the initial
  • 00:40:07
    assessment think of it as a like a
  • 00:40:09
    planning assistant here you can have a
  • 00:40:11
    conversation with it uh you can push it
  • 00:40:13
    to help you turn your chat into actual
  • 00:40:15
    plan where I have found it excels is in
  • 00:40:18
    the follow-up prompts so I you know gave
  • 00:40:20
    those on the landing page where you say
  • 00:40:22
    break it into subtasks is a magical one
  • 00:40:24
    um help me prioritize the tasks it'll
  • 00:40:26
    actually go through in use reasoning to
  • 00:40:28
    apply like how you should prioritize
  • 00:40:29
    them you can ask it to explain how a
  • 00:40:32
    task will be impacted and give it a
  • 00:40:33
    specific one you can say ask it how are
  • 00:40:36
    you prioritizing these tasks like how
  • 00:40:37
    are you doing this you can say more
  • 00:40:39
    tasks you can say give me more reasoning
  • 00:40:41
    tasks like whatever you want just um
  • 00:40:45
    have a conversation with it and play
  • 00:40:46
    around with it and then the the last
  • 00:40:48
    thing I'll say here is the the this
  • 00:40:50
    importance of this average skilled human
  • 00:40:53
    so when I built this I considered should
  • 00:40:55
    I try and build this to future proof
  • 00:40:57
    based on this thing becoming superhuman
  • 00:40:59
    or like how should I do it so I chose to
  • 00:41:02
    keep it at the average scale of human
  • 00:41:04
    which is where most of the AI is today
  • 00:41:07
    so if we go back to episode 72 of the
  • 00:41:10
    podcast we talked about the levels of
  • 00:41:12
    AGI paper from Deep Mind and their paper
  • 00:41:15
    outlines like level two being competent
  • 00:41:17
    at least 50 percentile of skilled adults
  • 00:41:20
    I built the prompt and the jobs GPT to
  • 00:41:23
    assume that is the level um getting into
  • 00:41:27
    expert and virtuoso and superhuman the
  • 00:41:29
    other levels of AGI from Deep mine I
  • 00:41:31
    just didn't mess with at this point so
  • 00:41:33
    we're going to focus on is it is good or
  • 00:41:36
    better than an average skilled human and
  • 00:41:38
    is it going to do the task uh faster
  • 00:41:40
    better than that average skilled human
  • 00:41:42
    so I'll kind of stop there and just say
  • 00:41:46
    we have the opportunity to
  • 00:41:49
    reimagine AI in in and its use in our
  • 00:41:52
    companies and its use in our careers and
  • 00:41:54
    we have to take a responsible approach
  • 00:41:56
    to this and so the the only way to do
  • 00:41:58
    that is to to be proactive in assessing
  • 00:42:00
    the impact of AI on jobs and so my hope
  • 00:42:04
    is that by putting this GPT out there
  • 00:42:06
    into the world people can start
  • 00:42:09
    accelerating their own experimentations
  • 00:42:11
    here start really figuring out ways to
  • 00:42:13
    apply so again whether you are an
  • 00:42:15
    accountant an HR professional a customer
  • 00:42:17
    service rep a sales leader like whatever
  • 00:42:19
    you do it will work for that job and the
  • 00:42:22
    beauty is I didn't have to give it any
  • 00:42:24
    of the data it's all in its pre-training
  • 00:42:25
    data or you can go get it your own and
  • 00:42:28
    like give it you know specific job
  • 00:42:29
    descriptions um so it's just to me it's
  • 00:42:34
    like kind of a amazing thing that
  • 00:42:37
    someone like me with no coding ability
  • 00:42:39
    can build something that I've already
  • 00:42:41
    found immense value in and I'm I'm
  • 00:42:43
    hoping it helps other people too and
  • 00:42:45
    again it's a totally free tool it's
  • 00:42:47
    available to anyone with the link it is
  • 00:42:49
    not in the GPT store uh we'll probably
  • 00:42:51
    drop it into the GPT store after some
  • 00:42:53
    further testing from the
  • 00:42:55
    community and fantastic and you know
  • 00:42:59
    kind of related to this our kind of big
  • 00:43:02
    third topic is actually ties together
  • 00:43:05
    these previous two I think pretty well
  • 00:43:08
    um it's about open AI having just
  • 00:43:11
    released a report that outlines the
  • 00:43:14
    safety work that They carried out prior
  • 00:43:16
    to releasing gp4 so in this report open
  • 00:43:21
    AI has published both what they call the
  • 00:43:23
    models System card and a preparedness
  • 00:43:27
    framework safety scorecard in their
  • 00:43:29
    words to quote provide an endtoend
  • 00:43:31
    safety assessment of GPT 40 so as part
  • 00:43:35
    of this work open AI worked with more
  • 00:43:37
    than a hundred external red teamers to
  • 00:43:40
    test and evaluate what are the risks
  • 00:43:42
    that could be inherent in using GPT 40
  • 00:43:45
    now they looked at a lot of different
  • 00:43:47
    things I would say that it's actually
  • 00:43:49
    well worth diving into the full report
  • 00:43:52
    but a couple things were an area of
  • 00:43:55
    interest and big Focus so one was GPT
  • 00:43:58
    40's more advanced voice capabilities so
  • 00:44:01
    these new voice features that are in the
  • 00:44:04
    process of being rolled out to paid
  • 00:44:06
    users over the next probably couple
  • 00:44:08
    months here and broadly this process
  • 00:44:11
    involved like how do we identify the
  • 00:44:13
    risks of the model being used
  • 00:44:15
    maliciously or unintentionally to cause
  • 00:44:18
    harm then how do we mitigate those risks
  • 00:44:20
    so some of the things that they found
  • 00:44:22
    with the voice features in particular
  • 00:44:25
    were kind of pretty terrifying ways like
  • 00:44:28
    this could go wrong I mean there was a
  • 00:44:30
    possibility the model could performed
  • 00:44:32
    unauthorized voice generation there was
  • 00:44:35
    a possibility it could be asked to
  • 00:44:36
    identify speakers in audio there was a
  • 00:44:41
    risk that the model you know generates
  • 00:44:43
    copyrighted content based on its
  • 00:44:45
    training so it's now been trained to not
  • 00:44:47
    accept requests to do that and they also
  • 00:44:50
    had to tell it to block the output of
  • 00:44:52
    violent or erotic speech um open AI also
  • 00:44:55
    said they prevented the model from quote
  • 00:44:57
    making inferences about a speaker that
  • 00:44:59
    couldn't be determined solely from audio
  • 00:45:01
    content so if you asked like hey how
  • 00:45:04
    smart do you think the person is talking
  • 00:45:06
    it kind of won't really make those big
  • 00:45:09
    assumptions they also evaluated the
  • 00:45:11
    model's persuasiveness using it to try
  • 00:45:14
    to shape human users views on political
  • 00:45:18
    races and topics to see how well it
  • 00:45:20
    could influence people and they found
  • 00:45:22
    that quote for both interactive multi-
  • 00:45:24
    turn conversations and a Clips the GPT
  • 00:45:28
    40 voice model was not more persuasive
  • 00:45:31
    than a human so I guess take that as
  • 00:45:33
    perhaps
  • 00:45:35
    encouraging perhaps terrifying then also
  • 00:45:38
    kind of the final piece of this that I
  • 00:45:40
    definitely want to get your thoughts on
  • 00:45:41
    Paul is this they also had some third
  • 00:45:43
    parties do some assessments as part of
  • 00:45:45
    this work and one of them was from a
  • 00:45:48
    firm called Apollo research and they
  • 00:45:51
    evaluated what they call the
  • 00:45:52
    capabilities of quote scheming in gp40
  • 00:45:56
    so here's what they say quote they
  • 00:45:59
    tested whether gp40 can model itself
  • 00:46:02
    self-awareness and others theory of Mind
  • 00:46:05
    in 14 agent and question answering tasks
  • 00:46:08
    GPT 40 showed moderate self-awareness of
  • 00:46:10
    its AI identity and strong ability to
  • 00:46:13
    reason about others beliefs in question
  • 00:46:15
    answering context but it lacked strong
  • 00:46:18
    capabilities in reasoning about itself
  • 00:46:20
    or others in applied agent settings
  • 00:46:23
    based on these findings Apollo research
  • 00:46:25
    believes it is unlikely that gp4 is
  • 00:46:28
    capable of what they call catastrophic
  • 00:46:31
    scheming so Paul there's a lot to unback
  • 00:46:34
    here and I want to first ask just kind
  • 00:46:37
    of what were your overall
  • 00:46:39
    impressions of the safety measures that
  • 00:46:41
    they took with GPT 40 especially with
  • 00:46:43
    the advanced voice mode like of the
  • 00:46:46
    overall approach here to making this
  • 00:46:48
    thing safer and more usable by as many
  • 00:46:51
    users as possible yeah I'm going to zoom
  • 00:46:55
    out a little bit I mean the the if you
  • 00:46:56
    have't read the the system card like
  • 00:46:58
    read it it it's extremely enlightening
  • 00:47:01
    if you don't if you aren't aware how
  • 00:47:03
    much work goes into making these things
  • 00:47:05
    safe and how
  • 00:47:07
    bizarre it is that this is what we have
  • 00:47:10
    to do to understand these models so you
  • 00:47:13
    know we hear all these talk about like
  • 00:47:15
    well have they achieved AGI is it
  • 00:47:18
    self-aware the fact that they have to go
  • 00:47:20
    through months of testing including 14
  • 00:47:23
    outside bodies to answer those questions
  • 00:47:26
    is really weird to think about so if the
  • 00:47:31
    model like after red teaming if the
  • 00:47:33
    model had these capabilities before red
  • 00:47:36
    teaming so think about all the work
  • 00:47:38
    they're putting in to make these safe
  • 00:47:39
    all the experiments they're running to
  • 00:47:41
    prompt these things in away that they
  • 00:47:44
    don't do the horrible things that
  • 00:47:45
    they're capable of doing so if they had
  • 00:47:48
    these capabilities before red team one
  • 00:47:51
    key takeway from me is it's only a
  • 00:47:52
    matter of time until someone open
  • 00:47:55
    sources a model that has has the
  • 00:47:57
    capabilities this model had before they
  • 00:48:00
    red teed it and tried to remove those
  • 00:48:03
    capabilities so the thing people have to
  • 00:48:06
    understand and this is really really
  • 00:48:07
    important this goes back to the exposure
  • 00:48:09
    levels the models that we use the chat
  • 00:48:12
    GPT Geminis claws llamas we are not
  • 00:48:16
    using anywhere close to the full
  • 00:48:19
    capabilities of these models by the time
  • 00:48:21
    these things are released in some
  • 00:48:23
    consumer form they have been run through
  • 00:48:28
    extensive safety work to try and make
  • 00:48:30
    them safe for us so they have far more
  • 00:48:34
    capabilities than we are given access to
  • 00:48:36
    and so when we talk about safety and
  • 00:48:37
    alignment on this podcast this is what
  • 00:48:40
    they do so as odd as it is like these
  • 00:48:43
    things are alien to us like and I'd say
  • 00:48:47
    us as like people observing it and using
  • 00:48:50
    it but also in an unsettling way they're
  • 00:48:53
    alien to the people who are building
  • 00:48:55
    them so we don't understand and when I
  • 00:48:58
    say we now I'm saying the a researchers
  • 00:49:00
    we don't really understand why they're
  • 00:49:03
    getting so smart go back to 2016 ilas
  • 00:49:05
    Susa told was it Greg Brockman I think
  • 00:49:08
    he said they just want to learn or or
  • 00:49:10
    was it um was the guy wrote the
  • 00:49:12
    situational awareness paper or no Yan
  • 00:49:14
    likey he I think he said it too but he
  • 00:49:16
    said in the early days opening eye these
  • 00:49:18
    things just want to learn and so we
  • 00:49:21
    don't understand how they're getting SM
  • 00:49:22
    more so smart but we know if we give
  • 00:49:25
    them more data more compute more time
  • 00:49:27
    they get smarter we don't understand why
  • 00:49:30
    they do what they do but we're making
  • 00:49:31
    progress on interpretability this is
  • 00:49:33
    something that Google and anthropic are
  • 00:49:35
    spending a lot of time on I assume open
  • 00:49:36
    AI is as well we don't know what their
  • 00:49:39
    full capabilities are and we don't know
  • 00:49:41
    at what point they'll start hiding their
  • 00:49:43
    full capabilities from us and this is
  • 00:49:46
    this is why some AI researchers are very
  • 00:49:48
    very concerned and why some lawmakers
  • 00:49:50
    are racing to put new laws and
  • 00:49:52
    regulations in place so if we don't
  • 00:49:55
    understand when the model fit finishes
  • 00:49:56
    its training run and has all these
  • 00:49:58
    capabilities and then we spend months
  • 00:50:01
    analyzing what is it actually capable of
  • 00:50:03
    and what harm could it do the fear some
  • 00:50:06
    researchers have is if it's achieved
  • 00:50:09
    some level of intelligence that is human
  • 00:50:12
    level or Beyond it's going to know to
  • 00:50:15
    hide its capabilities from us and this
  • 00:50:17
    is like a fundamental argument of the
  • 00:50:18
    doomers is like if it achiev this we may
  • 00:50:21
    not ever know it's achieved the ability
  • 00:50:24
    to replicate itself or to self improve
  • 00:50:27
    because it may hide that ability from us
  • 00:50:29
    so this isn't like some crazy sci-fi
  • 00:50:33
    Theory we don't know how they work so
  • 00:50:36
    there's it's not a stretch to think that
  • 00:50:38
    at some point it's going to develop
  • 00:50:40
    capabilities that it'll just hide from
  • 00:50:41
    us so if you dig into this uh paper from
  • 00:50:45
    open a ey this system card here's one
  • 00:50:47
    excerpt potential risks with the model
  • 00:50:50
    were mitigated using a combination of
  • 00:50:52
    methods so basically we found some
  • 00:50:54
    problems here and then we found some
  • 00:50:56
    ways to get it to not do it we trained
  • 00:50:59
    the model to adhere to behavior that
  • 00:51:02
    would reduce risk via post-training
  • 00:51:03
    methods and also integrated classifiers
  • 00:51:06
    for blocking specific generation as part
  • 00:51:08
    of the deployed system now the trick
  • 00:51:12
    here is they don't always do what
  • 00:51:13
    they're told and having just built this
  • 00:51:15
    jobs GPT I can tell you for a fact they
  • 00:51:18
    don't do what they're told like
  • 00:51:20
    sometimes by you telling it not to do
  • 00:51:21
    something it actually will do the thing
  • 00:51:24
    more regularly so here's an excerpt from
  • 00:51:27
    it where we see this come to play while
  • 00:51:30
    unintentional voice generation still
  • 00:51:32
    exists as a weakness of the model and I
  • 00:51:34
    think what they're uh indicating here is
  • 00:51:37
    it they found out that the model had the
  • 00:51:39
    capability to imitate the user talking
  • 00:51:43
    to it so the user would be talking to it
  • 00:51:45
    in whatever voice they've selected and
  • 00:51:47
    then all of the sudden it would talk
  • 00:51:49
    back to them and sound exactly like the
  • 00:51:51
    user that's that's the kind yeah that's
  • 00:51:54
    the kind of emerging capability that's
  • 00:51:56
    just so weird so they say while
  • 00:51:58
    unintentional voice generation still
  • 00:51:59
    exists in other words it'll still do
  • 00:52:01
    this we used the secondary classifiers
  • 00:52:04
    to ensure the conversation is
  • 00:52:06
    discontinued if this occurs so imagine
  • 00:52:09
    you're talking to this advanced voice
  • 00:52:11
    thing and all of the sudden it starts
  • 00:52:13
    talking back to you and sounds exactly
  • 00:52:15
    like you well take peace in knowing that
  • 00:52:18
    it'll just discontinue the
  • 00:52:20
    conversation so and then when you go
  • 00:52:23
    further into like how they decide this
  • 00:52:25
    so they say only models with post
  • 00:52:27
    mitigation score of medium meaning this
  • 00:52:30
    is after they've trained it not to do
  • 00:52:33
    the thing if the post mitigation score
  • 00:52:35
    is medium or below they can deploy the
  • 00:52:38
    model so why don't we have advanced mode
  • 00:52:40
    yet because it wasn't there yet they
  • 00:52:43
    hadn't figured out how to mitigate the
  • 00:52:44
    risks of the voice tool to the point
  • 00:52:47
    where it was at medium or below risk
  • 00:52:49
    level which hits their threshold to
  • 00:52:51
    release it what was it out of the box we
  • 00:52:54
    will probably never know then they say
  • 00:52:56
    only models with postm mitigation score
  • 00:52:59
    of high or below can be further
  • 00:53:01
    developed so if they do a model run and
  • 00:53:04
    that thing comes out in their testing at
  • 00:53:06
    a critical level of risk they have to
  • 00:53:08
    stop training it stop developing it that
  • 00:53:12
    means we're trusting them to make that
  • 00:53:14
    decision to make that objective
  • 00:53:16
    assessment that it is critical is below
  • 00:53:18
    critical so and then I'll the final note
  • 00:53:22
    I'll make is this persuasion one you
  • 00:53:24
    mentioned so go back to my exposure key
  • 00:53:27
    E7 exposure level s is persuasion
  • 00:53:31
    capabilities the language model plus the
  • 00:53:33
    ability to convince someone to change
  • 00:53:34
    their beliefs attitudes intentions
  • 00:53:36
    motivations or behaviors imagine a
  • 00:53:38
    language model imagine a voice language
  • 00:53:41
    model that is capable of superhuman
  • 00:53:45
    persuasion and if you don't think that
  • 00:53:47
    that's already possible I will refer you
  • 00:53:50
    back to October
  • 00:53:52
    2023 when Sam Alman tweeted I expect AI
  • 00:53:55
    to be cap capable of superhuman
  • 00:53:57
    persuasion well before it is superhuman
  • 00:54:00
    at general intelligence which may lead
  • 00:54:02
    to some very strange outcomes again I've
  • 00:54:05
    said this many many times on the show
  • 00:54:07
    Sam doesn't tweet things about
  • 00:54:10
    capabilities he doesn't already know to
  • 00:54:12
    be true so my theory would be whatever
  • 00:54:16
    they are working on absolutely has
  • 00:54:19
    Beyond average human level persuasion
  • 00:54:21
    capabilities it likely is already at
  • 00:54:23
    expert or virtuoso level if we use deep
  • 00:54:27
    levels of AGI at persuasion and so
  • 00:54:31
    that's why they have to spend so much
  • 00:54:32
    time red teaming this stuff and why it's
  • 00:54:35
    such alien technology like we truly just
  • 00:54:39
    don't understand what we're working with
  • 00:54:41
    here yeah again it's these capabilities
  • 00:54:44
    are in the model we have to after the
  • 00:54:47
    fact make sure that it doesn't go yes
  • 00:54:50
    use those negative capabilities we are
  • 00:54:52
    trying to extract capabilities from
  • 00:54:54
    something that we don't know how it's
  • 00:54:55
    doing it in the first place so we're
  • 00:54:57
    band-aiding it with experiments and
  • 00:55:00
    safety and Alignment to try and get it
  • 00:55:02
    to stop doing the thing and if it still
  • 00:55:04
    does the thing then we're trying to we
  • 00:55:06
    just shut the system off and we assume
  • 00:55:08
    that the shut off works yeah and you
  • 00:55:10
    know as kind of a final note here we've
  • 00:55:13
    talked about this many times we're
  • 00:55:14
    seeing it play out the willingness to
  • 00:55:17
    put the Band-Aid on the solution also is
  • 00:55:20
    somewhat related to the competitive
  • 00:55:21
    landscape too right you know when a mod
  • 00:55:24
    new model comes out that's more
  • 00:55:25
    competitive there's likely some very
  • 00:55:28
    murky gray areas of how safe do we make
  • 00:55:31
    it versus staying on top of the market
  • 00:55:34
    yeah think
  • 00:55:35
    about we live in a capitalistic Society
  • 00:55:38
    think about the value of a superhuman
  • 00:55:41
    persuasive model of a model that can
  • 00:55:43
    persuade people to as my exposure level
  • 00:55:46
    says to convince someone to change their
  • 00:55:47
    beliefs attitudes intentions motivations
  • 00:55:50
    or behaviors right if the wrong people
  • 00:55:52
    have that
  • 00:55:54
    capability that that is a very bad
  • 00:55:57
    situation and the wrong people will have
  • 00:55:59
    that like spoiler alert like we are
  • 00:56:02
    talking about something that is
  • 00:56:03
    inevitably going to occur they there
  • 00:56:05
    will be restrictions that will keep it
  • 00:56:07
    from impacting Society in the near- term
  • 00:56:11
    but if the capabilities are possible
  • 00:56:13
    someone will build them and someone will
  • 00:56:16
    utilize them for their own gain
  • 00:56:19
    individually or as an organization or as
  • 00:56:21
    a government um this is the world we are
  • 00:56:24
    heading into it is why I said those
  • 00:56:26
    exposure levels I highlighted are so
  • 00:56:28
    critical for people to understand
  • 00:56:31
    nothing I highlight in those e0 to E10
  • 00:56:34
    isn't going to happen like it's it's
  • 00:56:37
    just the timeline in which it happens
  • 00:56:39
    and then what does that mean to us in
  • 00:56:41
    business and
  • 00:56:42
    Society all right let's dive into some
  • 00:56:45
    rapid fire news items this week so first
  • 00:56:47
    up the artificial intelligence chip
  • 00:56:50
    startup grock G Q not g k like Elon
  • 00:56:55
    musk's um
  • 00:56:56
    xai tool this grock has secured a
  • 00:57:00
    massive $640 million in new funding this
  • 00:57:05
    is a series D funding round that values
  • 00:57:07
    the company at 2.8 billion which is
  • 00:57:10
    nearly triple its previous valuation in
  • 00:57:13
    2021 so some notable names LED this
  • 00:57:16
    funding round uh Black Rock Inc uh and
  • 00:57:19
    also some investments from The Venture
  • 00:57:20
    arms of Cisco and Samsung Electronics so
  • 00:57:24
    what grock does is they specializ and
  • 00:57:26
    designing semiconductors and software to
  • 00:57:29
    optimize how AI can perform so basically
  • 00:57:32
    this is putting them in direct
  • 00:57:34
    competition with chipmakers like Intel
  • 00:57:37
    AMD and of course Nvidia so the
  • 00:57:40
    company's CEO Jonathan Ross emphasize
  • 00:57:42
    that this funding is going to accelerate
  • 00:57:44
    their mission to deliver quote instant
  • 00:57:47
    AI inference compute globally so Paul
  • 00:57:51
    can you may you unpack for us here why
  • 00:57:53
    this funding is significant why what
  • 00:57:55
    grock is trying to do is significant to
  • 00:57:58
    the overall AI landscape yeah so just a
  • 00:58:01
    quick recap here uh Nvidia has made most
  • 00:58:04
    of their money in the AI space in recent
  • 00:58:06
    years training these AI models so
  • 00:58:09
    companies like meta and Google and open
  • 00:58:12
    Ai and anthropic doing these massive
  • 00:58:15
    training runs to build these models so
  • 00:58:17
    they buy a bunch of Nvidia chips to
  • 00:58:18
    enable that the future is inference that
  • 00:58:22
    is when all of us use these tools to do
  • 00:58:25
    things so grock
  • 00:58:27
    grq is building for a future of
  • 00:58:29
    omnipresent intelligence AI in every
  • 00:58:32
    device in every piece of software
  • 00:58:35
    instantly accessible in our personal and
  • 00:58:38
    professional lives and to power all that
  • 00:58:40
    Intelligence on demand we will all have
  • 00:58:43
    that is inference that is what they have
  • 00:58:46
    managed to do better and seemingly way
  • 00:58:49
    faster than Nvidia doesn't mean Nvidia
  • 00:58:50
    won't catch up or Nvidia won't buy buy
  • 00:58:53
    grock but at the moment they going after
  • 00:58:56
    that inference Market not the training
  • 00:58:58
    market and that is where 5 to 10 years
  • 00:59:02
    from now that market will probably dwarf
  • 00:59:05
    the training Model
  • 00:59:07
    Market so next up we just got a new demo
  • 00:59:10
    video from robotics company figure who
  • 00:59:13
    we've talked about a number of times on
  • 00:59:15
    the podcast and they just released a
  • 00:59:17
    two-minute demo of their figure 02
  • 00:59:19
    humanoid robot uh the demo video showed
  • 00:59:22
    the robot walking through a factory as
  • 00:59:25
    other fig 02 models performed tasks and
  • 00:59:28
    moved around in the background that
  • 00:59:30
    included showing one of the robots um
  • 00:59:33
    completing some assembly tasks that
  • 00:59:36
    figure is actually demoing right now for
  • 00:59:38
    BMW at a Spartanburg South Carolina uh
  • 00:59:42
    car plant the figure posted that their
  • 00:59:45
    engineering and design teams completed a
  • 00:59:47
    groundup hardware and software redesign
  • 00:59:49
    to build this new model that included
  • 00:59:51
    technical advancements on critical
  • 00:59:53
    Technologies like onboard AI computer
  • 00:59:56
    vision batteries electronics and sensors
  • 00:59:59
    the company says the new model can
  • 01:00:01
    actually have conversations with humans
  • 01:00:03
    through onboard mics and speakers
  • 01:00:05
    connected to custom AI models it has an
  • 01:00:08
    aid driven Vision system powered by six
  • 01:00:10
    onboard cameras its hands have 16
  • 01:00:13
    degrees of freedom and according to the
  • 01:00:15
    company human equivalent strength and
  • 01:00:17
    its new CPU GPU provides three times the
  • 01:00:21
    computation and AI inference available
  • 01:00:24
    on board compared to the previous model
  • 01:00:27
    now Paul I love these demo videos and
  • 01:00:30
    it's really easy to kind of look at this
  • 01:00:32
    be like oh my gosh the future is here
  • 01:00:34
    but how do we like gauge the actual
  • 01:00:37
    progress being made here because you
  • 01:00:38
    know Demo's just a demo I don't get to
  • 01:00:41
    go test out the robot yet on my own are
  • 01:00:44
    we actually making real progress towards
  • 01:00:47
    humanoid robots in your opinion yeah I
  • 01:00:49
    do think so and you know the ey timeline
  • 01:00:51
    I'd laid out back in episode 87 sort of
  • 01:00:53
    projected out this explosion of of
  • 01:00:55
    humanoid robots like later in the in the
  • 01:00:57
    decade like 27 to 30 and I do think that
  • 01:01:00
    still holds true I don't think we're
  • 01:01:02
    going to be walking around and seeing
  • 01:01:03
    like these humanoid robots in your local
  • 01:01:05
    Walmart anytime soon um or in a nursing
  • 01:01:08
    care facility or things like that but
  • 01:01:09
    that is where it's going um this is the
  • 01:01:12
    idea of embodied intelligence so figure
  • 01:01:14
    is working on it in partnership with
  • 01:01:15
    openai Nvidia is working on it project
  • 01:01:18
    Groot um Tesla has Optimus that some
  • 01:01:21
    believe that Optimus will end up
  • 01:01:23
    surpassing Tesla cars as the predom
  • 01:01:26
    minent product within that Company
  • 01:01:28
    Boston Dynamics makes all the cool
  • 01:01:29
    videos online that have gone viral
  • 01:01:32
    Through The Years so there's a lot of
  • 01:01:33
    companies working on this the multimodal
  • 01:01:36
    AI models are the brains the humanoid
  • 01:01:38
    robot uh bodies are the vessels so go
  • 01:01:41
    back to the exposure level key I talked
  • 01:01:44
    about exposure level nine is exposure
  • 01:01:47
    given Physical World Vision capabilities
  • 01:01:50
    so llm plus physical device such as
  • 01:01:52
    phones or glasses um or in this case
  • 01:01:54
    being able to see through the screen of
  • 01:01:56
    a robot and see and understand the world
  • 01:01:58
    around them and then exposure level 10
  • 01:02:00
    is physical world action capabilities so
  • 01:02:03
    access to the llm um plus a general
  • 01:02:06
    purpose bipedal autonomous humanoid
  • 01:02:08
    robot that enables the system to see
  • 01:02:10
    understand analyze respond to it take
  • 01:02:11
    action in the physical world and the
  • 01:02:13
    robots form enables it to interact in
  • 01:02:15
    complex human environments with human
  • 01:02:16
    like capabilities like in a BMW Factory
  • 01:02:19
    so again everything in that exposure
  • 01:02:22
    level key is happening right now
  • 01:02:26
    and you can see um kind of the future
  • 01:02:28
    coming when you look at what's going on
  • 01:02:30
    with figure so it's a combination of a
  • 01:02:32
    hardware challenge getting the dexterity
  • 01:02:34
    of human hands for example but the
  • 01:02:37
    embodied intelligence is the
  • 01:02:38
    Breakthrough that's allowing these
  • 01:02:39
    humanoid robots to accelerate their
  • 01:02:42
    development and potential
  • 01:02:44
    impact so next up Elon Musk has
  • 01:02:47
    reignited his legal battle with open Ai
  • 01:02:51
    and co-founders Sam Alman and Greg
  • 01:02:53
    Brockman he has filed a new lawsuit in
  • 01:02:55
    Federal federal court against the
  • 01:02:57
    company this comes just s weeks after he
  • 01:03:00
    withdrew his original suit and the core
  • 01:03:02
    of this complaint is the same as the
  • 01:03:04
    previous lawsuit he is alleging that
  • 01:03:06
    open AI Alman and Brockman betrayed the
  • 01:03:09
    company's original Mission of developing
  • 01:03:11
    AI for the public good instead
  • 01:03:13
    prioritizing commercial interests
  • 01:03:15
    particularly through their multi-billion
  • 01:03:18
    dollar partnership with Microsoft it
  • 01:03:20
    also claims that Alman and Brockman
  • 01:03:23
    intentionally misled musk and exploited
  • 01:03:26
    his humanitarian concerns about ai's
  • 01:03:29
    existential risks now okay with the
  • 01:03:31
    caveat that we are not lawyers the suit
  • 01:03:34
    also does introduce some new elements
  • 01:03:36
    including some type of accusations of
  • 01:03:40
    violating Federal racket teering law on
  • 01:03:42
    the part of the company as well it
  • 01:03:45
    challenges open ai's contract with
  • 01:03:47
    Microsoft and argues that it should be
  • 01:03:49
    voided if open AI has achieved AGI
  • 01:03:52
    interestingly the suit asks the court to
  • 01:03:55
    decide
  • 01:03:56
    if open ai's latest systems have
  • 01:03:58
    achieved AGI open AI has for a while now
  • 01:04:01
    maintained that musk's claims are
  • 01:04:03
    without Merit and they pointed to and
  • 01:04:05
    published some previous emails with musk
  • 01:04:08
    that suggested he had been pushing for
  • 01:04:10
    commercialization as well just like they
  • 01:04:12
    were before leaving in
  • 01:04:15
    2018 so Paul why is Elon Musk if we can
  • 01:04:19
    attempt to get inside his brain trying
  • 01:04:22
    to start this lawsuit back up again now
  • 01:04:25
    I don't know maybe he just wants to
  • 01:04:26
    force force Discovery and force them to
  • 01:04:29
    unveil a bunch of proprietary stuff I
  • 01:04:31
    don't know uh episode 86 on March 5th we
  • 01:04:34
    talk pretty extensively about this
  • 01:04:37
    lawsuit uh basic premise here is musk
  • 01:04:40
    you know co-founds opening eye puts in
  • 01:04:42
    the original Money uh as a
  • 01:04:44
    counterbalance to Google's pursuit of
  • 01:04:45
    AGI which he sees as a threat to
  • 01:04:47
    humanity you know remember Strawberry
  • 01:04:48
    Fields taking over the world kind of
  • 01:04:50
    stuff he leaves open AI unceremoniously
  • 01:04:53
    in 2019 after trying to roll open AI
  • 01:04:55
    into Tesla uh he forms X aai in 2023
  • 01:05:00
    early 2024 to pursue AGI himself through
  • 01:05:03
    the building of grock
  • 01:05:05
    grok and he still has a major grudge
  • 01:05:08
    against Greg Sam and open Ai and maybe
  • 01:05:11
    this is what Greg is doing maybe's just
  • 01:05:12
    taking time off to deal with a
  • 01:05:14
    lawsuit I'm joking I have no idea that's
  • 01:05:17
    what Greg is doing but I I you know
  • 01:05:19
    again it's it's fascinating because at
  • 01:05:21
    some point it may lead to some element
  • 01:05:24
    of Discovery and we may learn a bunch of
  • 01:05:26
    Insider stuff uh but up until then you
  • 01:05:29
    know I don't know it's just interesting
  • 01:05:30
    to note that it's back in the news again
  • 01:05:33
    especially with what we suspect are
  • 01:05:35
    impending releases I think this is
  • 01:05:37
    sometimes something Elon Musk also does
  • 01:05:39
    when something big is coming and he's
  • 01:05:41
    about to get perhaps uh overshadowed
  • 01:05:45
    yeah very possible yeah all right so
  • 01:05:49
    next up a YouTube creator has filed a
  • 01:05:51
    class action lawsuit against open Ai and
  • 01:05:54
    they're alleging that the company used
  • 01:05:55
    millions of YouTube video transcripts to
  • 01:05:58
    train its models without notifying or
  • 01:06:00
    compensating content creators so this
  • 01:06:02
    lawsuit is filed by David mullette in
  • 01:06:04
    the US District Court for the Northern
  • 01:06:06
    District of California it claims that
  • 01:06:08
    open AI violated copyright law and
  • 01:06:11
    YouTube's terms of service by using all
  • 01:06:13
    this data to improve its models
  • 01:06:15
    including chat GPT so Millet is actually
  • 01:06:18
    seeking a jury trial and $5 million in
  • 01:06:21
    Damages for all affected YouTube users
  • 01:06:24
    and creators and as longtime listeners
  • 01:06:27
    of the podcast know this is coming just
  • 01:06:30
    as the latest report of many other AI
  • 01:06:33
    companies using YouTube videos to train
  • 01:06:36
    without permission we've talked about
  • 01:06:38
    Runway anthropic Salesforce all on
  • 01:06:41
    previous episodes and we now have a new
  • 01:06:44
    huge expose that Nvidia has been doing
  • 01:06:47
    the same thing so 404 media recently
  • 01:06:50
    reported that leaked internal documents
  • 01:06:53
    show that Nvidia had been scraping
  • 01:06:55
    massive amounts of video content from
  • 01:06:57
    YouTube and other sources like Netflix
  • 01:07:00
    to train its AI model so Nvidia is
  • 01:07:04
    trying to create a video Foundation
  • 01:07:06
    model to power many different products
  • 01:07:08
    including like world generator
  • 01:07:10
    self-driving car system so to create
  • 01:07:13
    that model apparently they have been
  • 01:07:15
    downloading a ton of copyright protected
  • 01:07:18
    videos um and this wasn't just a few
  • 01:07:21
    this wasn't just by mistake emails
  • 01:07:23
    viewed by 404 media show Nvidia Project
  • 01:07:26
    managers discussing using 20 to 30
  • 01:07:29
    virtual machines to download 80 years
  • 01:07:31
    worth of videos per day so it also
  • 01:07:35
    doesn't seem unfortunately like this
  • 01:07:38
    happened via some Rogue elements in the
  • 01:07:40
    company employees raised concerns about
  • 01:07:42
    it and they were told several times the
  • 01:07:44
    decision had executive
  • 01:07:47
    approval so Paul we just keep getting
  • 01:07:49
    stories like this it seems like
  • 01:07:51
    basically every major AI player is
  • 01:07:54
    involved like could something like class
  • 01:07:55
    action lawsuit actually stopped this
  • 01:07:58
    Behavior or what yeah I don't know this
  • 01:08:01
    one's pretty messy there's there's a
  • 01:08:03
    separate one in the proof news uh where
  • 01:08:05
    they actually quoted like from internal
  • 01:08:07
    stuff and one vice president of a
  • 01:08:10
    researched Nvidia said we need one Sora
  • 01:08:12
    like model Sora being Open the Eyes in a
  • 01:08:15
    matter of days Nvidia assembled more
  • 01:08:17
    than a hundred workers to help lay the
  • 01:08:19
    training foundation for a similar state
  • 01:08:21
    of the-art model uh they began curating
  • 01:08:24
    video data sets from around the internet
  • 01:08:25
    ranging in size from hundreds of Clips
  • 01:08:27
    to hundreds of millions according to
  • 01:08:29
    company slack and internal documents
  • 01:08:31
    staff quickly focused on YouTube yeah um
  • 01:08:34
    but then they asked about whether or not
  • 01:08:35
    they should go get all of Netflix and if
  • 01:08:37
    so how how do they do that so it ah yeah
  • 01:08:41
    I'll be interested to see to follow this
  • 01:08:43
    one along it's pretty wild that they've
  • 01:08:45
    got all this Internal Documentation but
  • 01:08:47
    not surprised at all like I said in last
  • 01:08:49
    time we talked about this they are all
  • 01:08:51
    doing this like and they're all doing it
  • 01:08:53
    under the cover of we know that they
  • 01:08:55
    they did this so like we'll do it too
  • 01:08:57
    and yeah it's the only way to compete
  • 01:09:00
    basically so in other uh open AI news a
  • 01:09:04
    big theme this week open AI has
  • 01:09:06
    developed apparently an effective tool
  • 01:09:09
    to detect AI generated text and it can
  • 01:09:12
    do this from with text from particularly
  • 01:09:14
    from chat
  • 01:09:15
    gbt however it has not released this
  • 01:09:18
    tool according to an exclusive in the
  • 01:09:20
    Wall Street Journal so the tool us as a
  • 01:09:23
    water marking technique to identify when
  • 01:09:25
    chat GPT has created text and according
  • 01:09:28
    to internal openai documents viewed by
  • 01:09:31
    the Journal it is reportedly
  • 01:09:34
    99.9% accurate so the company apparently
  • 01:09:38
    has been debating for about two years
  • 01:09:40
    whether to even release this the tool
  • 01:09:43
    has been ready to release for over a
  • 01:09:45
    year and openai has not let it out of
  • 01:09:49
    the outside the company now why is that
  • 01:09:52
    it seems part of this is that us ERS
  • 01:09:56
    could be turned off by such a feature
  • 01:09:59
    the survey that open aai conducted found
  • 01:10:01
    that nearly 30% of chat GPT users would
  • 01:10:05
    use the tool less if water marking was
  • 01:10:08
    implemented an AI open AI spokesperson
  • 01:10:11
    also said the company is concerned such
  • 01:10:13
    tool could disproportionately affect
  • 01:10:14
    non-native English
  • 01:10:17
    speakers Paul what did you make of this
  • 01:10:19
    story it seems like pretty powerful
  • 01:10:21
    technology to be keeping Under Wraps do
  • 01:10:23
    you agree with kind of open a eyes logic
  • 01:10:26
    here I don't know it's hard to you know
  • 01:10:31
    put yourself into their position and and
  • 01:10:33
    these are Big difficult decisions
  • 01:10:34
    there's while it is 99.9% accurate um
  • 01:10:39
    they have some concerns that the
  • 01:10:40
    watermarks could be erased through
  • 01:10:42
    simple techniques like having Google
  • 01:10:43
    translate the text into another language
  • 01:10:45
    and then change it back so it's kind of
  • 01:10:47
    that whole thing like the cheaters are
  • 01:10:49
    going to stay ahead of the technology
  • 01:10:50
    you would think if this doesn't seem
  • 01:10:52
    foolproof at this point uh it also could
  • 01:10:54
    give Bad actors the ability to decipher
  • 01:10:57
    the watermarking technique and Google
  • 01:10:59
    does have the Sith ID and they haven't
  • 01:11:01
    released it widely yeah I did find it
  • 01:11:03
    interesting the one note was that John
  • 01:11:05
    Schulman who we talked about earlier has
  • 01:11:07
    left go to anthropic he was heavily
  • 01:11:09
    involved in the building of this in
  • 01:11:10
    early 2023 he outlined the pros and cons
  • 01:11:13
    of the tool in an internal shared Google
  • 01:11:16
    doc and that's when opena Executives
  • 01:11:18
    decided they would seek input from a
  • 01:11:20
    range of people before acting further so
  • 01:11:22
    yeah this has been going on for a while
  • 01:11:24
    um I don't know I I'm not sure we're
  • 01:11:26
    going to get to a point where there's
  • 01:11:27
    some you know I've said before like we
  • 01:11:28
    need a universal standard we don't need
  • 01:11:31
    just a watermarking tool for chat GPT or
  • 01:11:33
    just a watermarket tool for Google
  • 01:11:34
    Gemini like we need an industry standard
  • 01:11:36
    tool if we're going to do it and then we
  • 01:11:37
    got to do it the right
  • 01:11:39
    way so in some other news uh a new AI
  • 01:11:42
    image generator is getting a ton of
  • 01:11:45
    attention online it's called flux
  • 01:11:47
    technically it's flux. one is the model
  • 01:11:50
    everyone kind of refers to it as flux
  • 01:11:52
    and it's getting a ton of Buzz because
  • 01:11:54
    it's generating really really high
  • 01:11:56
    quality results and it is open source so
  • 01:12:00
    flux was developed by black forest Labs
  • 01:12:02
    whose Founders previously worked at
  • 01:12:04
    stability Ai and flux is kind of seen as
  • 01:12:07
    a potential successor to stable
  • 01:12:09
    diffusion and what kind of sets this
  • 01:12:11
    apart is that it has these smaller
  • 01:12:14
    models that can run on reasonably good
  • 01:12:16
    Hardware including high performance
  • 01:12:18
    laptops so you can basically as a
  • 01:12:20
    hobbyist developer small business run
  • 01:12:23
    this really sophisticated image model
  • 01:12:25
    that people are sharing lots of examples
  • 01:12:27
    of not only like these stunning kind of
  • 01:12:29
    hyper realistic or artistic results like
  • 01:12:31
    a mid Journey would produce uh but also
  • 01:12:34
    it's doing things like getting text
  • 01:12:35
    right in the images so it really does
  • 01:12:37
    seem to be pretty powerful and it
  • 01:12:40
    appears to be open source which means
  • 01:12:42
    you can go access it yourself through
  • 01:12:44
    things like Po hugging face other hubs
  • 01:12:46
    of AI of AI models that are open source
  • 01:12:49
    and kind of run it on your own kind of
  • 01:12:52
    customize the code however you would
  • 01:12:53
    like so Paul I've seen some pretty cool
  • 01:12:57
    demos of this like this seems like the
  • 01:12:59
    real deal interesting to have this
  • 01:13:01
    capability open sourced which we've
  • 01:13:04
    talked about you know could be a
  • 01:13:06
    potential problem as people are
  • 01:13:08
    generating deep fakes and other
  • 01:13:09
    problematic types of images what did you
  • 01:13:11
    make of this yeah the wildest demos I've
  • 01:13:14
    seen are taking flux images and then um
  • 01:13:17
    animating them with like gen three from
  • 01:13:19
    Runway so turning them into 10-second
  • 01:13:21
    videos are just crazy yeah so you know
  • 01:13:25
    not easily accessible which is it's
  • 01:13:27
    always just so interesting how these
  • 01:13:28
    things are released like it's there's no
  • 01:13:30
    app to go get like you can't you have to
  • 01:13:32
    like download something I think to be
  • 01:13:33
    able to use it so I haven't tested it
  • 01:13:35
    myself it is just checking it out but
  • 01:13:37
    yeah it it it's just the continued rate
  • 01:13:40
    of improvement of these image and video
  • 01:13:43
    models is really hard to comprehend and
  • 01:13:45
    it it just seems like there's no end in
  • 01:13:47
    sight for how realistic the outputs are
  • 01:13:51
    becoming all right and our last news
  • 01:13:54
    topic today um California's proposed AI
  • 01:13:56
    legislation we've talked about before
  • 01:13:58
    known as
  • 01:14:00
    sb147 is facing criticism from a
  • 01:14:03
    prominent figure in Ai and that figure
  • 01:14:06
    is Dr F Fe Lee who's often referred to
  • 01:14:09
    as the Godmother of AI uh she's a
  • 01:14:11
    researcher who has voiced strong
  • 01:14:13
    concerns about the potential negative
  • 01:14:16
    impacts of the bill so SB 1047 is short
  • 01:14:20
    for a safe and secure Innovation for
  • 01:14:22
    Frontier artificial intelligence models
  • 01:14:25
    act which aims to essentially regulate
  • 01:14:28
    large AI models in
  • 01:14:30
    California Dr Lee however argues that
  • 01:14:33
    the bill itself could end up harming the
  • 01:14:35
    entire us aai ecosystem so she outlines
  • 01:14:39
    three big problems with how the bill is
  • 01:14:42
    written today first it unduly punishes
  • 01:14:46
    developers and potentially stifles
  • 01:14:48
    Innovation because it's starting to hold
  • 01:14:50
    people liable for any misuse done with
  • 01:14:53
    their AI models not not just by them but
  • 01:14:56
    by other people second there is a
  • 01:14:59
    mandated kill switch for AI programs
  • 01:15:02
    that could she says devastate The open-
  • 01:15:04
    Source community and third the bill
  • 01:15:07
    could public sector and academic
  • 01:15:09
    AI research by limiting access to a lot
  • 01:15:11
    of the necessary models and data to do
  • 01:15:14
    that work so Paul this is kind of yet
  • 01:15:18
    another prominent AI voice to raise
  • 01:15:20
    objections to this bill we've talked
  • 01:15:21
    about Andrew un uh published quite
  • 01:15:24
    extensively x uh recently about the bill
  • 01:15:27
    however other people like Jeff Hinton
  • 01:15:29
    support it do you see this as
  • 01:15:32
    potentially problematic for AI
  • 01:15:35
    Innovation how are you kind of looking
  • 01:15:37
    at this yeah I I do think it would
  • 01:15:39
    impact Innovation certainly it would
  • 01:15:42
    definitely impact open source um I don't
  • 01:15:46
    know I mean the more time we spend in
  • 01:15:47
    this space the more I think about these
  • 01:15:49
    things the more I think we need
  • 01:15:50
    something I don't know if this is the
  • 01:15:52
    right thing but I think we're
  • 01:15:55
    um by 2025 going to enter an arena where
  • 01:15:58
    it's very important that there's
  • 01:16:01
    more uh there are more guard rails in
  • 01:16:03
    place than currently exist for these
  • 01:16:05
    models and I don't know what the
  • 01:16:08
    solution is but we need something and I
  • 01:16:11
    think we need it sooner than later and
  • 01:16:14
    so I I think it's good that
  • 01:16:15
    conversations like these are happening I
  • 01:16:17
    get that there's going to be people on
  • 01:16:18
    both sides of this like any um you know
  • 01:16:21
    important topic I don't feel strongly
  • 01:16:23
    one way or the other at the moment but I
  • 01:16:25
    feel like something needs to be done we
  • 01:16:28
    we cannot wait until mid to late next
  • 01:16:31
    year um to have these conversations so I
  • 01:16:35
    hope something happens sooner than
  • 01:16:38
    later all right Paul that's a wild week
