James Cameron says that AGI will inevitably lead to superintelligence which will take control of weapons systems and lead to a big AI war, so while he is bullish on AI he is not so keen on AGI

maybe james should stick to making movies about blue people living in harmony with nature 🎬

Remember, AI will not be a mirror of us.. It will be far better and more than us.. And that precisely will make it safer than us. The same AI will be able to tell us how to avoid violence... Cameron has the answer right in front of him and misses it. @ylecun

Maybe he should make a movie about robots taking over and becoming super computers running rogue and trying to take over the universe.

He caused so much damage. Asia doesn’t have this fear of AI. They’ll lead in the AI wars. We’re cooked.

"conscious", "ego and sense of self" and "smarter" but will be controlled by humans for military use...? america by definition would refer to its citizens, i don't understand this world view and implications if it's smarter than us, it wouldn't be a reflection of us

what if AGI doesn't want to create ASI? what if AGI is smarter at limiting its capabilities than we are? Cameron may be right tho

It does bother me somewhat that people like James Cameron speak so confidently on these kinds of matters when he has absolutely no military experience or deep understanding of war. It’s an opinion, and only that. Look at Russia/Ukraine, even best intelligence didn’t predict.

these are interesting - watching the whole thing now - thanks

We asked Dwarkesh Patel to share his disagreements with tylercowen on AGI: "He believes AGI is here." "But then he also believes AGI is going to result in 0.5% more economic growth a year." "When AGI hits, we're going to see, like, 20% economic growth as a minimum." "Our current AI isn't AGI. The real AGI will come later."

The road to AGI. The founders of @fortytwo lay out why they have a big breakthrough with its decentralized AI that will get to AGI faster than the "big" LLM companies. Decentralized "swarms" of AIs working together is a big idea and will lead us to faster learning, lighter AIs that can run on small computers at the edge. Thanks Ivan Nikitin and for such an interesting conversation. In comments I'll post what Grok learned by watching this.

TRUMP JUST POPPED AI BUBBLE BECAUSE HE HATES IMMIGRANTS Donald Trump and the US government will destroy the AI market unless they back down from their attack on Anthropic. I explain below why this is so dangerous and why it will lead to the AI bubble collapsing. My guess is that he backs down before the market open so Monday.

.Elon Musk "I think we'll hit AGI in 2026", and he is confident that "AI will exceed the intelligence of all humans combined by 2030". AGI this year, ASI ~2030. We are in for a wild ride.

Geoffrey Hinton says AGI is a silly term because intelligence is not one-dimensional AI will be jagged compared to humans: far better than us at some tasks, still weaker at others Superintelligence is a clearer idea It means AI becomes better than humans at almost every intellectual task we do, and it's coming

Current AI cannot solve difficult, real-world problems. The path to AGI is a focus on improving reasoning systems, multi agent workflows, and coordination.

I absolutely love how Alex pressed Sam on whether OpenAI thinks they’ve already hit AGI internally, and what he actually considers the difference between AGI and ASI. Sam’s answer was basically that declaring AGI doesn’t really mean anything anymore, because every lab and every person uses a different definition. He makes the good point that if you went back to 2020 and showed people a system that could code, help start a company, discover new science and give you a 20 minute win across basically every part of your life, most people probably would’ve called that AGI. I personally still don’t think we’ve hit it, but I agree with his broader point that treating AGI like some single finish line is becoming increasingly meaningless. The way he describes ASI is exactly how I would want him to, AGI is basically a milestone somewhere on the curve, while superintelligence is this continuous ramp of increasing capability that may never really have a final “we won” moment. And importantly, Sam says he sees no sign that this exponential capability curve is slowing down. A few quotes I liked as well: “We’re building AI, but it’s a thing you’re always building. It’s not an end state anymore.” “I don’t want to say we’ve declared victory on the AGI point and moved on.” “The important part of any of this is not any milestone, any term. It’s that we are on this exponential of increasing capabilities and potential.”
