Eric Schmidt says the 10x advantage is no longer execution. It is defining what counts as success. A programmer writes a spec and an evaluation function, runs it at 7pm, and wakes up to what was invented overnight. The advantage now belongs to whoever can specify the problem precisely.... show more

Eric Schmidt says this is a once-in-history moment. A non-human intelligence has arrived. It can't be stopped. It is a competitor. What we choose now will echo for thousands of years.

Eric Schmidt, former Google CEO, on why top programmers won't be replaced by AI, they'll be amplified by it: He starts with an observation about the existing hierarchy in software: "The very top programmers were worth 10 times more than the ones right below. There's something special about the mathematical reasoning skills of programmers." Rather than flattening that gap, he argues AI will widen it: "Those people will become more valuable, not less valuable, because these systems need to be controlled by humans at the moment. Those people will be capable of grasping the parallelization and the activities of this." To show what this amplification actually looks like in practice, Eric shares a story from a startup he's involved with. He was talking to one of the programmers there, who works on UIs, about his daily workflow: "He said, 'I write the spec of what I want and then I write a test function, an evaluation function. And then I turn it on.' I said, 'What time?' And he goes, '7:00 in the evening.' And I go, 'Okay. What do you then do?' Well, he has dinner with his wife and he goes to sleep." Eric continues: "I said, 'Do you wake up?' Said, 'No, I sleep very well.' 'When does it finish?' 'Oh, 4:00 in the morning.' And then he gets up, has breakfast, you know, does whatever he does, and then he sees what's been good." Eric Schmidt calls the whole thing "mindboggling." The story captures what amplification really means. The programmer isn't writing less code. He's producing a night's worth of work while asleep, because the machine is running on his spec, his tests, his judgment of what "good" looks like. The leverage belongs to those who can define the problem precisely, write the tests that matter, and recognize good output when they see it.

Ex-Google CEO explains the Software programmer paradigm is rapidly coming to an end. Math and coding will be fully automated within 2 years and that's the basis of everything else. "It's very exciting." - Eric Schmidt All of that's gonna happen. The question is: what is the point in which this becomes a national emergency?

Eric Schmidt says war is no longer constrained by humans. It's AI vs AI. “No human can plan a battle… without reinforcement learning.” The real conflict lives in data centers and drone swarms. No human can follow it in real time.

Most times, being the first mover is a disadvantage. Last mover advantage and building something 10x better is what counts. The question isn't who got there first. It's who built the thing no one can leave.

Eric Schmidt says we don't yet understand what AI will do to society -- but resisting it isn't an option. Kissinger warned: people will see it as either a gift from God or something to resist. “His view was we will either embrace it or fight it. If we fight it, we'll lose.”

#WATCH | Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu: On the opposition's allegations regarding the delimitation and women's bill, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu says, "What is the logic? There must be some logic to an argument. If the seats are increased by 50% per seat, what is your problem? They will have to answer this... Everyone will have a uniform advantage, and women will also get a reservation."

Joscha Bach says consciousness is not a mysterious extra ingredient. It is a model of what it would be like if you existed. The self is virtual by definition. It can only run inside a system capable of simulation. This does not make it less real. It makes it substrate-dependent in exactly the way software is. The hard problem may not be hard. It may be a category error about where to look.

When cognition scales, matter wakes up. Michael Levin says every system that learns to pursue goals has a “cognitive lightcone,” the slice of reality it can care about. A bacterium tracks sugar. A human plans for centuries. Life is matter expanding what it can care about.

Max Tegmark says the way through the AI black box may be to deploy its outputs instead. A cat can learn, but it cannot export what it learned. A human scientist can. As intelligence rises, more knowledge may become externalized into code and proofs. Deploy what the mind can verify, not the mind itself.

Warren Buffett: “The stock doesn’t care what you paid. The stock doesn’t even care that you own it. You are nothing to the stock. It is everything to you.” You have an advantage Carnegie and Rockefeller never had. You can rearrange your entire business empire at a moment’s notice with practically no cost. Most people turn that advantage into a disadvantage.
