Today's AI models train once. We don't work that way. We learn continuously, forget what doesn't matter, and retain what does. That gap is what Dan Biderman and Jessy Lin are closing at Engram. AI that never stops learning, with memory that lives inside the model instead of bolted...

Here's my conversation with Charan Ranganath, psychologist & neuroscientist at UC Davis, specializing in human memory. We talk about memory, imagination, deja vu, false memories, why we remember, why we forget, and a lot of other fascinating mysteries about the human mind. It's here on X in full, and is up on YouTube, Spotify, and everywhere else. Links in comment.

Here's my conversation with Lucas Atkins and the team at Arcee.ai on their path to training and releasing Trinity Large today. From going all in on open models built end to end in the US 6 months ago to having the model in hand is no easy feet. I loved this conversation on how to design a startup around open models and take a bold step to scale it up. I'm openly an Arcee fan, watching them take risk and pull it off. We discuss: - The state (and future) of open vs. closed models, - The business of selling open models for on-prem deployments, - The story of Arcee AI & going “all-in” on this training run, - The ATOM project, - Building frontier model training teams in 6 months, - and other great topics. I really loved this one, and think you well too.

Yoshua Bengio thinks he knows how to make provably safe superintelligent agents. Bengio built the foundations of modern AI and is the most cited living scientist. He believes his alternative training setup would: 1. Guarantee honesty 2. Prevent unintended goals 3. Produce capable agents 4. Port over most data and techniques from current LLMs 5. Not be inherently more expensive, and perhaps be more intelligent Bengio claims the honesty and lack of unintended goals can be proven mathematically, at least given particular assumptions. And his new organization, LawZero, is aiming to build a scrappy prototype as soon as possible. The architecture is called 'Scientist AI' and it's based on training a model to explain empirical observations, including what people say, rather than training AIs that mimic human behaviour or seek our approval. (Bengio's frank assessment is that "reinforcement learning is evil" and that allowing AIs to independently train their successors is "the most crazy, dangerous bet that unfortunately we are on track to do.") But skeptics question whether Scientist AI really does solve the fundamental problem of 'eliciting latent knowledge' from AI models. And with the commercial race for superintelligence so intense, it's not clear whether the proposal will be able to compete or have time to bear fruit, even if it's sound in theory. On The 80,000 Hours Podcast, links below – enjoy! • Making AI honest and safe (00:00:00) • Scientist AI in plain English (00:02:27) • How Scientist AI differs from LLMs (00:06:32) • How the training data works (00:14:02) • Can this become an agent?

Yoshua Bengio thinks he knows how to make provably safe superintelligent agents. Bengio built the foundations of modern AI and is the most cited living scientist. He believes his alternative training setup would: 1. Guarantee honesty 2. Prevent unintended goals 3. Produce capable agents 4. Port over most data and techniques from current LLMs 5. Not be inherently more expensive, and perhaps be more intelligent Bengio claims the honesty and lack of unintended goals can be proven mathematically, at least given particular assumptions. And his new organization, LawZero, is aiming to build a scrappy prototype as soon as possible. The architecture is called 'Scientist AI' and it's based on training a model to explain empirical observations, including what people say, rather than training AIs that mimic human behaviour or seek our approval. (Bengio's frank assessment is that "reinforcement learning is evil" and that allowing AIs to independently train their successors is "the most crazy, dangerous bet that unfortunately we are on track to do.") But skeptics question whether Scientist AI really does solve the fundamental problem of 'eliciting latent knowledge' from AI models. And with the commercial race for superintelligence so intense, it's not clear whether the proposal will be able to compete or have time to bear fruit, even if it's sound in theory.

It's brain versus AI time. Here's our full episode with Sebastian Seung. He's started a new company to reverse engineer the brain and master the intelligence created by nature with the hopes of informing the intelligence we've created with machines. Sebastian has done pioneering AI and neuroscience work and is now blending the two to make a digital brain. Mostly, he's fun to listen to. The Core Memory podcast is made by possible by the intelligent finance powerhouse Brex and the people who back the biggest ideas @e1ventures.
