It's so demoralizing when thought leaders who built gradient descent algorithms without understanding intelligence now tell young technologists that AI will either wipe out humanity or bring superintelligence so soon there's nothing left for them to do.

0:44are huge numbers are excited about technology and they want to build things that help their family and help their country actually more their family than their country honestly. and they they they see real opportunities in doing that and they're kind of being told by the leaders, well, we had our fun and we developed a bunch of algorithms. We we did it and we were just interested in

1:03the pure, you know, understand intelligence even though they didn't understand intelligence. They built, you know, grady descent algorithms and now you guys, you can't do this because it's dangerous. It's going to it's going to wipe out humanity with a with a high probability or it's super intelligent arrive soon so there's nothing left to do. That's in your lifetime. That is so demoralizing. so demoralizing and that thing I think

1:24that bothers me the most. I mean the second part that bothers me is there's no economic thinking going on there. So the current generation is just way too you know there's not much thought going on not much intellectual stuff. Uh it's just yeah it's possible to build it. It's possible to steal the data from wherever you want to because that's what the internet allowed to happen and not

1:44return any value to the person who originated the data. It's possible to run greedy descent on that, but you need huge amounts of money. But it's now possible to get it from people who aren't thinking very deeply. I I don't think it's bad to build systems you don't understand. But I think this level of detachment from reality is unusual for human history. This episode is supported by Cyber Fund. If you're

2:09building at the frontier of AI, they want to hear from you. Cyber Fund believes the future belongs to AI natives who want to achieve the impossible. And that is why they're introducing the monastery for AI native founders. It's an environment of pure focus and rapid execution for founders operating at AI native speed. And they're offering teams $2 million each to participate. Apply now at cyber.fund. And what do you think about the term

2:43AGI, by the way? >> Uh, AGI to me is just a bit of it's it's a PR term. Uh, and it it's uh some people think it's it's fun because you have to have these great aspirations. I think it's just distortion. I think it confuses young people. And as I will talk about today a little bit, I think that uh one of the things I uh find most
