The lack of understanding of how current AI/ large language models work makes us susceptible to thinking that AI is more powerful and all-knowing than it actually is. That’s what concerns me the most.

Agree 100%!! I tried to talk about this in a Slate piece a little while ago, absolutely agree it's a real concern:

I'm tired of seeing screenshot after screenshot of haywire responses from LLMs and obvious retweets portraying hysteria. There's no true reasoning. There never was. It's not self aware. It's all mathematical. But negativity sells and gets people talking.

This is the Eliza Effect coined about the first Chatbot in 1966

The more we rely on LLMs to express ourselves, the less our expressions represent us as individuals and the more they represent collective thinking. LLMs will certainly make life more efficient, but do they also threaten our self expression and creativity?

I work with machine learning systems. You are 100% spot on.

I haven’t heard a more ‘I don’t know what I’m talking about but I want attention’ rant about AI . Sound like you have no real understanding of what is happening in the LLM space. Well, I guess you need to be intelligent enough to figure out if something is actually intelligent.

@julesterpak So you're saying it's not "all knowing" in context of everything on the internet? What's the concern if people think it knows too much? And this exchange seems a little concerning...

Ben Affleck on the single hardest thing for AI to learn in creative work: He breaks down how large language and video models actually work, and where they fall short: "A library of vectors of meaning and transformers that interpret context… But they're just cross-pollinating things that exist. Nothing new is created." Affleck concedes the point but pivots to the deeper issue of taste: "Craftsman is knowing how to work. Art is knowing when to stop. And I think knowing when to stop is going to be a very difficult thing for AI to learn because it's taste." He adds that current AI also suffers from "lack of consistency, lack of controls, lack of quality." But Affleck is clear-eyed about where AI will hit hard. The visual effects industry is in his crosshairs: "I wouldn't like to be in the visual effects business. They're in trouble because what cost a lot of money is now going to cost a lot less and it's going to hammer that space more than it already is." His take: maybe it shouldn't take a thousand people to render something. AI will make backgrounds more convincing, change the color of a shirt, fix mistakes. It might even let studios produce "two seasons of House of the Dragon in a year instead of one." That's compression, not replacement. Affleck then makes a fascinating prediction about where AI actually creates value long-term, and it's in consumption rather than production: "Eventually AI will allow you to ask for your own episode of succession where you could say, I'll pay $30 and can you make me a 45 minute episode..." Ben Affleck sees this as the real opportunity: "My hope for AI is that it's an additional revenue stream that can replace DVD which took 15 to 20% out of the economy of filmmaking." He imagines a future of negotiated visual rights, where fans can buy an "Iron Man pack" and look like the Avengers in their own TikToks, the same way they used to buy Halloween costumes at the store. The throughline of Affleck's framework is simple: craftsmanship can be automated, but art is knowing when to stop, and that requires taste.

The problem that Emmett Shear is working on deeply resonates with me: How to align AI and humans together so both see each other as part of their tribe. This doesn't mean aligning AI to human preferences, which is what AI labs seek to do today, by imposing a system of control on AI. You can't control something that is more powerful than you are. What you can do is align yourself with AI, and AI might align itself with you. Tell good stories to AI and show it your care and kindness. Then there's a higher probability that it will see us as part of its tribe. This is a more holistic approach to alignment than anyone else is talking about right now. AI alignment is one of the most fundamental AI research problems. Knowing that people like Emmett are working on it really gives me hope that maybe we have a chance to get Superintelligence right. The link to the full talk is in the first comment.👇

“Control can sometimes be an illusion.” - Mr. Robot The interesting shift isn’t gaining access to more AI models. It’s understanding what level of intelligence the work actually requires.

Can AI actually automate jobs? Scale AI and are launching the Remote Labor Index (RLI), the first benchmark and public leaderboard that test how well AI agents can complete real, paid freelance work in domains like software engineering, design, architecture, data analysis, and more. Early results show the limits of today’s models. The top AI agent completed just 2.5% of real freelance jobs better than humans. AI is powerful, but not yet reliable enough to replace skilled labor. RLI gives us a transparent way to track progress over time and bring clarity to the future of work.

What are current economic models missing about AGI? How would we know if we were approaching explosive growth? Stanford economist Phil Trammell has been rigorously thinking about the intersection of economic theory and AI (incl.

Yoshua Bengio: AI models are part of geopolitics. And having your own AI models as a nation is of strategic importance. It is therefore all the more irritating that the EU is showing no signs of wanting to act immediately and build up its own AI industry.

Mo Gawdat believes up to 30% of jobs in certain sectors could disappear by 2028. That stopped me in my tracks. Mo was one of the first people to come on this podcast and warn me about AI, long before most of the world was talking about it. At the time, it felt early. Now, it feels like the world is catching up to what he was seeing. I’m still trying to understand what AI actually means for our lives. Not just whether it can write emails, create images or make us more productive. I mean what it does to jobs. What it does to power. What it does to education. What it does to human connection… That’s why I wanted to have this discussion with Mo again. What makes Mo worth listening to is that he saw these systems inside Google years before most of us had even heard the term AI. His book *Scary Smart* now feels like it was written for this exact moment. Let me explain why this discussion matters. Mo believes we’re not just entering an AI revolution. We’re entering a period where AI, robotics, economics, surveillance, digital currencies and global instability are all colliding at the same time. That’s a lot for any of us to process. We spoke about: - The jobs Mo believes are most at risk from AI. - Why he believes that AI is actually underhyped! - The mistake almost everyone is making with ChatGPT. - The prediction that changed even his own view of the future. The part that stayed with me was this idea that human connection may become the real currency. Because if AI can produce the information, write the report, analyse the data, then what is left? I don’t think this conversation gives neat answers. That’s probably why it’s worth watching. It helped me think more honestly about what’s coming.

Larry Ellison basically explained why OpenAI is positioned to win the AI race. Today’s models all trained on the same thing: public data. The internet. Books. Papers. General knowledge. Impressive, but capped. Ellison’s point: peak value only comes when AI is trained on private data. That’s where OpenAI is moving: • partnerships with universities to work with unpublished research • experts teaching models real job tasks, not just theory • deep access to how science, medicine, law, and finance actually work Public data makes AI smart. Private data makes it decisive. The next AI leap won’t come from reading more of the internet. It’ll come from being invited behind the curtain. That’s the real moat.

Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark says the AI frontier is about to cross a much stranger line than coding assistants. "My prediction is by the end of 2028, it's more likely than not that we have an AI system where you would be able to say to it, 'Make a better version of yourself.' And it just goes off and does that completely autonomously." The reason: models have moved from basic coding into "the production of science itself" and the "unglamorous but fundamental engineering work" behind large-scale R&D. "An AI system that can build itself [has] big implications, and we'd like to start thinking about it now." That is the actual agent threshold: not demos, not chat UX, but AI becoming part of the loop that improves AI.
