00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:03,720
Welcome to the Cerebral Valley 
Podcast. 

2
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:06,600
I'm Eric Newcomer. 
We're calling this fear 

3
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:09,760
mongering and forecasting. 
We're looking to the future. 

4
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:12,800
We're making predictions, or 
really I think we're going to be

5
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:17,360
relying on AI and chat bots to 
make our predictions and then we

6
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:20,000
will shit all over them. 
I'm here with Max Child. 

7
00:00:20,240 --> 00:00:22,040
Hey, Eric. 
And James Wilserman. 

8
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:26,200
Hey, hey guys. 
Ready to make some hot take 

9
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,600
predictions here? 
We're gonna use both Open AI, 

10
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:33,840
Chaji, BT and Anthropic, so 
we'll also get sort of the meta 

11
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,800
sense of who's which bot is 
making better predictions. 

12
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:42,280
But yeah, excited what? 
What is AI if not constantly 

13
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:46,160
looking to the future and 
charting out what could be given

14
00:00:46,160 --> 00:00:48,520
the rate of growth we've seen so
far? 

15
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:52,440
So it's very fitting that that 
in our last episode before this 

16
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:56,360
Ruebel Valley AI Summit on 
November 20th in San Francisco, 

17
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:02,080
we are going to fiendishly 
fantasize about what could be to

18
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,120
come. 
This episode is presented by 

19
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:09,080
Breck's The Financial Stack that
founders and VCs can truly bank 

20
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,280
on. 
Imagine what your founders could

21
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,560
do with their runway if they had
a banking solution that had no 

22
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:19,040
minimums, no transaction fees, 
and 20 times the standard FDIC 

23
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,880
protection. 
Plus, they could earn an 

24
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,120
industry leading yield while 
maintaining access to funds 

25
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,880
whenever needed. 
Brex simplifies financial 

26
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,960
services for startups so they 
can focus on building.

solutions. 

30
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:47,920
Without further ado, James. 
So for this episode I asked both

31
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:53,080
ChatGPT and Claude the same 
question to come up with a list 

32
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,960
of predictions about AI for the 
year 2025. 

33
00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:00,080
I also asked the predictions to 
be hyper specific and 

34
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:04,560
falsifiable so that by the end 
of 2025 we could easily 

35
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,600
determine whether the 
predictions were correct or 

36
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,520
incorrect. 
The predictions I said could be 

37
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:13,600
spicy, medium, mild. 
However, however hot Thai spicy.

38
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,840
I didn't get any pepper emojis 
out on the on the output. 

39
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:22,680
Maybe I should ask for that. 
But the, the, the predictions I 

40
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,840
was, I was pretty happy with how
they came out and I asked, you 

41
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,160
know, relevant to the AI 
industry and then I also asked 

42
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,520
to get a probability estimate 
for each prediction. 

43
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,440
So then you guys are going to be
able to provide me kind of the 

44
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,600
over undertake on each 
prediction. 

45
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,400
So we have our own prediction 
market basically. 

46
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,400
Exactly. 
We basically created a bunch of 

47
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:48,760
possible prediction markets 
around AI and you guys have to 

48
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,560
decide whether you're short or 
long each prediction. 

49
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:52,960
Nice, how's that? 
I love it. 

50
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,840
Is this is this GPT 01 or is 
this? 

51
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:04,040
Yeah, this is the ChatGPT 01 
preview and Claude Sonnet 3.5. 

52
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,880
OK, so the the most thinking 
oriented AI models. 

53
00:03:07,920 --> 00:03:11,600
We're paying the big bucks here.
We're premium subscribers for. 

54
00:03:12,640 --> 00:03:19,880
We're we're bankrupt now they're
running, but no, these these are

55
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,760
the best AI can do in a consumer
consumer product. 

56
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,320
It it feels if I was pretty 
impressed, like I was kind of 

57
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,440
skeptical actually, that this 
would work that well. 

58
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:32,600
You know, I think AI has a 
tendency to provide sort of 

59
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:37,520
generic takes in a lot of ways, 
but if you prompt it correctly, 

60
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,920
I was able to get these really 
specific, really specific 

61
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,800
predictions that. 
They could keep this is for 12 

62
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:45,480
months from now. 
Like what's the date? 

63
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,680
You have the year 25. 
Yeah, by the end of 2025, 

64
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,120
December 31st. 
OK, cool. 

65
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:55,800
All right, let's do it. 
All right, we'll start with O1 

66
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,400
preview from Open AI in Chacha 
BT. 

67
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:04,800
So here's the first prediction 
So. 

68
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,280
We have not heard these before. 
To be clear, Max and I are 

69
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:09,960
coming in blind. 
Unless. 

70
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,840
You guys, you guys are Co 
founders so maybe you're in 

71
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,240
cahoots. 
Nope, I got nothing running 

72
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,440
blind. 
All right, so first prediction, 

73
00:04:17,959 --> 00:04:24,760
Open AI will release ChatGPT or 
GBT 5 exceeding 10 trillion 

74
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,240
parameters. 
What do you guys think? 

75
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,040
How many parameters is 4? 
Again, one trillion. 

76
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:32,720
The bots are already smarter 
than me. 

77
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,600
What is that? 
You're like what's a parameter 

78
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,880
isn't. 
Isn't it like 400 billion? 

79
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,240
Can you can we get the number of
the current it's like 4 or 500 

80
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,200
billion, right? 
1.5 trillion. 

81
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,400
OK, let's add the. 
Elevator .76 trillion Is the 

82
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:46,600
rumours OK? 
1. 

83
00:04:47,280 --> 00:04:49,800
One to two, OK. 
So this would be, you know. 

84
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:51,920
What's it predicting to rate how
many? 

85
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,240
A 10X like like A7X basically or
whatever. 

86
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,640
And we think the current is 1.7 
something. 

87
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,760
Yeah. 
Also the the probability for 

88
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:05,560
this prediction is 50% so. 
Oh, over smash the over on that.

89
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,560
Wait, wait, wait, wait. 
Sorry, it's is it making a claim

90
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,520
about the name of it? 
Because I feel like I, I think I

91
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:15,560
was just listening to Dario on 
Lex Friedman and like, I feel 

92
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,640
like half of his, like Hemming 
and hawing about what they're 

93
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,120
gonna do is like not committing 
to the name of various models 

94
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,520
because you know, they're doing 
all these like half updates and 

95
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,080
stuff. 
So how much is this a prediction

96
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,240
about what the model is going to
be called? 

97
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:33,440
I think we can decide there, but
I would say both have to come 

98
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,040
true. 
The GPT 5 naming and the 10 

99
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,040
trillion. 
I think, you know, if I'm 

100
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,680
reading the tea leaves of what 
open what 01 was thinking and 

101
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,640
reasoning about here, maybe 
they're saying, hey, 10 trillion

102
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,880
is a big step up to the point 
where it would have to almost be

103
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,960
called, you know, GBT. 
Five, I mean, I don't know, this

104
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,240
is kind of pedantic, but I would
smash the over on a model that 

105
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,720
it has 10 trillion parameters, 
but I don't know if they're 

106
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,360
gonna call GBT 5 exactly. 
I feel like Altman has been you.

107
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,200
Committed to over already, I 
think the. 

108
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:03,280
Name. 
OK, fine, I'll commit. 

109
00:06:03,280 --> 00:06:06,640
Why are you guys so skeptical 
that it's gonna be called GBT 5?

110
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,760
I'm just chaotic on the names. 
The names are bad at the moment.

111
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:15,320
Like a circle that we get you 
introduced as like open AI chat 

112
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:19,640
GBTO one like they they need to 
like I I do I mean anthropic has

113
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,640
more colorful names, but they're
getting chaotic sure, but so I'm

114
00:06:23,840 --> 00:06:26,560
just take the under on the basis
of the name in terms of the 

115
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:32,640
parameters yeah, I'm probably 
bullish. 

116
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,880
I mean, thankfully it's a 
compound prediction, but yeah, 

117
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:37,880
the under. 
OK, All right, Well, I will 

118
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,080
stick with my over, but yeah, I 
mean, I think they're basically 

119
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:45,160
running into like the iPhone 4S5
S 6S problem where Apple used to

120
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,400
give the like in between phones,
like, you know, an S instead of 

121
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,280
a new number. 
And then I think the marketing 

122
00:06:50,280 --> 00:06:53,000
team realized like people want 
to see the number go up. 

123
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,200
Like we don't see, we don't we 
don't buy new iPhones unless the

124
00:06:56,200 --> 00:07:00,000
number goes from 14 to 15. 
So I think, I think This is why 

125
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,840
GBT is trying to move off these 
numbers because I think they're 

126
00:07:02,840 --> 00:07:05,400
like, nobody wants the new model
unless we give it a higher 

127
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:06,600
number, right? 
And they're like, they don't 

128
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,000
even care if we introduce like 4
O and voice mode and you know, 

129
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,840
O1 and all this stuff. 
So I just, I feel like Altman is

130
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,520
severely foreshadowing that 
they're gonna drop these 

131
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,920
numbers. 
I do think you're predicting. 

132
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,960
Yourself. 
No, I'm taking the over. 50% is 

133
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,520
a good price. 
I just think I understand where 

134
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:24,520
they're coming from with the 
names. 

135
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,000
James, are you making 
predictions? 

136
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,080
You'll give us a quick your 
quick take. 

137
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:30,720
Yeah, I'll just react to your 
guys takes. 

138
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,960
I think that yeah, you guys are 
way too focused on the naming 

139
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,720
conventions. 
I think the reason they are 

140
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:43,080
calling things like, you know, 
40 and 01 preview is to try to 

141
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:47,600
like, you know, downplay the 
model a little bit before the 

142
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,120
next evolution of the model. 
Like I think they will stick 

143
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,800
with the GPT 456 naming 
convention, but they will need 

144
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:58,280
it to be kind of step change, 
you know, improvement on the 

145
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,120
model. 
So I do think A10 trillion 

146
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:01,480
parameter model will get that 
name. 

147
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,960
But there's an open question. 
I mean, this is gonna be 

148
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:07,760
probably coming up throughout, 
just like how monumental is A10 

149
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,240
trillion parameter model change,
right? 

150
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:14,320
Like if it's true if they have 
consumed basically all the data 

151
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:18,400
there is to consume and set that
data has its limits. 

152
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,720
That's fair. 
Then if there's not a step 

153
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,000
change in the model 
capabilities, maybe they don't 

154
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,280
give the new name. 
OK, all right, let's move on. 

155
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:27,280
Good, good first discussion 
there. 

156
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,680
Are you over or under though? 
I never got that part. 

157
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,080
I'm over, OK? 
I mean if you want me to make 

158
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:34,760
make my own predictions. 
You've got to come in. 

159
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:35,640
I just. 
Say I just put. 

160
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,200
I'll say where you are. 
I'll take the over. 

161
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:45,800
All right, so next prediction 
from Chachi BT we have by the 

162
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:50,360
end of 2025, at least three 
countries will have implemented 

163
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:55,200
regulations at the national 
level specifically governing the

164
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:59,400
use of AI to diagnose healthcare
disease. 

165
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:04,200
And what's the price on that? 
70% probability. 

166
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,160
Short. 
Way short. 

167
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,840
I just think it's really, it 
takes a long time to write 

168
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:13,600
legislation. 
I mean, you're saying like 

169
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,280
national level entities are 
going to write complex 

170
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:20,000
legislation about healthcare and
AI in the next 14 months. 

171
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,680
Yeah, yeah, it's. 
Interesting, though I'll grab. 

172
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,720
Go ahead. 
I'll let Eric answer, but you're

173
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,800
just I'm. 
Taking the over, I mean, I don't

174
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,400
want to just do the opposite of 
Max every time here, but I do 

175
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:32,720
That's good. 
There are a lot of countries. 

176
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:36,600
There are a lot of countries 
we've actually seen aggressive 

177
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,080
AI regulation already. 
There's clearly a lot of 

178
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:40,920
appetite. 
And I don't think this 

179
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,720
prediction requires some sort of
comprehensive, they just need 

180
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:48,640
some regulation touching sort of
health, health diagnostics, 

181
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,160
right? 
Yeah, I, I guess. 

182
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:54,440
I guess the question is like, is
some random EU regulator issuing

183
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,680
a decree count as 35? 
Countries. 

184
00:09:56,680 --> 00:09:58,320
Yeah, exactly. 
I think it should like I think 

185
00:09:58,320 --> 00:09:59,000
it. 
Should. 

186
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:00,360
Well, yeah, of course you think 
it should. 

187
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,280
Like, yeah, but I'm just saying 
like, you know, I'm this. 

188
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,640
Episode isn't gonna be about the
nature of predictions more than 

189
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,760
this underlying. 
Game. 

190
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:15,120
You know, for every good game, 
we've realized the rules are 

191
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:19,840
really what's most important to 
discuss, not the actual OK the 

192
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:21,880
gameplay. 
All right, well, I'm still I'm 

193
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:25,000
still grabbing the under here. 
But yeah, that just seems like a

194
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,840
lot of work for three different 
nation states to execute and 

195
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:29,600
then in the 12 month time frame 
would be mine. 

196
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:33,080
Are we getting more point like 
or so like does he get more 

197
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,680
return on his investment for 
predicting something that was at

198
00:10:35,680 --> 00:10:37,200
70? 
Yeah, that's a good idea. 

199
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,400
I think that we could use 
something like that. 

200
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,760
If you take the over on a low 
probability prediction and then 

201
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,520
at the end of next year you're 
proven correct, I think we'll 

202
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:47,840
give you give you some more 
points. 

203
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,240
I think we need. 
ROI like let's let's let's save 

204
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,360
the exact one. 
Right, exactly. 

205
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:55,920
Could we get into another rule 
here? 

206
00:10:55,920 --> 00:11:00,960
Yeah. 
James, what are you picking? 

207
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,040
OK, I am taking the over there 
and I think, you know, we're 

208
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,200
just going to see this come up a
lot in the next year is like 

209
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,920
people using AI for their jobs, 
maybe in areas where they're not

210
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:13,880
supposed to. 
And I just think that'll be a 

211
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:15,920
key kind of political 
discussion. 

212
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:20,120
Point is, hey, why is why is my 
doctor, you know, using ChatGPT,

213
00:11:20,560 --> 00:11:22,240
right? 
And is that a should that be 

214
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:23,880
legal? 
So I wouldn't be surprised by 

215
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:25,960
three countries. 
Taking I want them to be to be 

216
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,240
clear or like as an assistant. 
I think it would be good. 

217
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,880
I'm not saying that's a bad 
thing, but maybe it should be a 

218
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:32,800
little bit regulated, right? 
There should be something. 

219
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,600
I might just, I might just be 
biased based on living in the 

220
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,440
United States where we have just
epic legislative gridlock. 

221
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:42,200
But yeah, I mean they. 
Passed AI regulations in 

222
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,600
California. 
Well, that's true. 

223
00:11:45,560 --> 00:11:46,680
I mean, you're. 
Not the big one. 

224
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:48,960
But you're saying the state, the
state government, Yeah. 

225
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:50,120
Yeah, which is like one of. 
The. 

226
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:51,520
Well, they didn't pass it 
because the. 

227
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,120
They passed other ones, they 
passed it all there other. 

228
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,440
Things OK, this prediction 
specifically says national, 

229
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,160
national. 
Yes, wouldn't count. 

230
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,000
Yeah, all right. 
But Europe? 

231
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:05,640
'S like anyway, sorry. 
Moving on prediction, by 

232
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:11,000
December 2025, Tesla will 
release fully self driving cars 

233
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:16,080
that are legally approved for 
unsupervised operation on a on 

234
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,160
public roads in at least one US 
state. 

235
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:27,320
What's the price? 
We are saying 40% probabilities.

236
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:33,160
Interesting. 
I'll go over actually I one of 

237
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:36,440
my predictions coming in was 
around Tesla AV capabilities. 

238
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,840
I just think that Waymo's proved
it's possible. 

239
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:43,840
Elon's got more chips than 
anyone. 

240
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:45,560
They've got more video data than
anyone. 

241
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:47,120
They're obsessed with this 
problem. 

242
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:48,680
He thinks it's the entire future
of the company. 

243
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,280
And then coming down to the 
ticky tacky state approval bit, 

244
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,920
you know, he's got his boy in 
the White House and he's got 

245
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,160
friends in every Republican 
government in America. 

246
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,600
So like fucking Wyoming could 
approve this shit and he win the

247
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,960
bat. 
So I think that I'll take the 

248
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:10,440
over at 40%. 
So it it's to be driving like 

249
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,280
without a driver behind the 
wheel. 

250
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,000
Yeah, that's I think 
unsupervised, meaning you don't.

251
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,680
Have to I still, I still think 
there's a very likely scenario 

252
00:13:18,680 --> 00:13:24,800
where it's like in Texas or 
Wyoming or whatever you, you 

253
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,520
know, you can sort of allow it 
to drive, but people are 

254
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:31,080
effectively behind the wheel. 
Like I'm not very bullish on 

255
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,160
Tesla's like technology, I don't
think. 

256
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,880
Are you talking about like 
remote assistance, like remote 

257
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:39,000
drivers taking over or something
or like I think? 

258
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,800
That would be that would count 
or not I feel like. 

259
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:43,800
That would count like that's 
what Waymo does. 

260
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,120
Right, Waymo has remote takeover
if there's. 

261
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:47,680
No takeover. 
Remote takeover, yeah. 

262
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,320
But it's a little. 
It's like a remote. 

263
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,960
How is what they have right now 
not already passing that? 

264
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,040
Like people are allowed to use 
autopilot. 

265
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,080
You're talking about Tesla. 
Tesla you. 

266
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:03,080
From a legal perspective, you 
have to have a driver in the car

267
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,800
behind the wheel, ready to take 
over at a moment's notice. 

268
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,560
Basically it also has to be 
supervised, like you know that 

269
00:14:08,560 --> 00:14:11,320
you have to be looking at the 
road or disengage. 

270
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:15,040
Like they have a camera on your 
eyes that show that checks if 

271
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,960
you're watching the road or not 
and it gets mad at you if you're

272
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:19,840
like on your phone. 
I've tried this. 

273
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:25,080
Oh, wow, yeah, yeah, it it 
literally throws a warning up on

274
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,560
the screen saying I like, I can 
tell you're looking at your 

275
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,160
phone. 
And I'm like, well, what's the 

276
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,120
point of self driving if I can't
look at my phone? 

277
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:39,880
Like that's the entire use case.
I think I'm I'm taking the over 

278
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:43,800
just because of all this sort of
seeming cases where this would 

279
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,760
count as approved. 
I don't think they're close to 

280
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,280
Waymo. 
I'm not bullish on Tesla's 

281
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:53,400
approach, but I think there are 
lots of ways to sort of fudge 

282
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,560
this with humans still sort of 
behind the wheel. 

283
00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:00,280
All right, for bonus points, 
which is the 1st state. 

284
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:04,400
That will allow this Texas. 
Texas would be the obvious 

285
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,840
choice, but it's also really big
and there's a lot of complicated

286
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,400
roads and cities and stuff 
there, so I don't. 

287
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,200
Know, but does it have to be the
whole state for the rules or? 

288
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,200
Yeah, Yeah. 
It's a state government, right? 

289
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:16,680
Yeah. 
Wait the whole state. 

290
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,080
It says one state. 
Will approve it. 

291
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,040
That's interesting. 
You mean like Waymo is not in 

292
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:22,800
the whole state, it's in San 
Francisco, right? 

293
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,600
Or I think. 
I think it would just have to be

294
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:29,680
not the whole state, but you 
know, somewhere within somewhere

295
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:31,920
in the state. 
Yeah, like the whole state. 

296
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:33,760
I would change my whole. 
Yeah, yeah. 

297
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,040
I think it has certain. 
Things I guess, like I wasn't 

298
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:40,080
even thinking you'd be able to 
own a Tesla but only use it for 

299
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,040
full self driving if you're in 
one city. 

300
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,440
Yeah, that's interesting. 
All right, Texas. 

301
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:48,120
All right, We'll see how that 
plays out. 

302
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:53,520
James. 
Yeah, my take taking the over as

303
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:54,880
well. 
I think you guys are, you guys 

304
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:58,960
are spot on. 
And yeah, I think I will 

305
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,920
actually go a little contrarian 
and take California as the first

306
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,240
thing. 
Wow, OK, wow all. 

307
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:08,680
Right guys, let's move on to the
next prediction we have and 

308
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:13,880
another prediction from ChatGPT.
By the end of 2025, AI generated

309
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:20,200
content will constitute at least
50% of online news articles 

310
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:25,840
published by a major news 
outlet, probability 30%. 

311
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:28,960
What's major? 
Again, I think this is a key 

312
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:30,640
question here. 
Like how major? 

313
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:38,120
Mitigated after the fact. 
What would be capital M major? 

314
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,600
I mean like I'm. 
Watching the I'm taking the 

315
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:44,240
over, I think Conde Nast is 
clearly major. 

316
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:46,640
I think Forbes is probably 
major. 

317
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,320
And I think if you're just 
talking articles, you know, 

318
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,720
we've seen a lot of media just 
be willing to produce a lot of 

319
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:58,680
articles to, you know, get get 
gobbled up by SEO. 

320
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:02,880
And so it's not necessarily the 
majority of their homepage, but 

321
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,040
the majority of the articles. 
One outlet. 

322
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,240
I say yes. 
I think, yeah, I think it's 30. 

323
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,680
I'd grab the over. 
I just think 3 to one odds on 

324
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:13,480
that or two to one odds sounds 
pretty good. 

325
00:17:13,599 --> 00:17:17,240
I think to your point, like 
yeah, the SB Nation network I 

326
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:21,880
could see or Vox or whatever, 
like just somebody is gonna give

327
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:26,440
in to the SEO, the SEO 
temptation to have a crap load 

328
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,360
of articles generated by AI that
people are going to link to. 

329
00:17:29,360 --> 00:17:31,200
So will. 
They talk about that publicly. 

330
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,640
Do you think like will they? 
No, I'm sure there will be some 

331
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,680
journalist that gets leaked to 
in a bar where where Eric lives 

332
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,440
in Brooklyn and then then 
somebody will write an. 

333
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,080
Angry story about I don't think 
Axios would necessarily do it, 

334
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,920
but there's definitely a breed 
of sort of business first media 

335
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:50,120
publication that would brag 
about this to seem cutting edge.

336
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,200
I bet someone will write a 
cranky article before somebody 

337
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,160
brags brags about it. 
But before. 

338
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:57,400
Yeah, yeah. 
We'll see. 

339
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:05,400
AI itself break the news that. 
Not until it hooks up to the 

340
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,360
Bitcoin network and starts 
getting paid for it. 

341
00:18:09,360 --> 00:18:15,440
I'll take the under on 30% I'm 
sure have to litigate what 

342
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:21,480
content a major outlet, but I'm 
skeptical that it'll hit 50% of 

343
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:25,120
articles like I mean, at least 
in the next year. 

344
00:18:25,120 --> 00:18:27,720
I think that I think that it'll 
maybe start, you know, kind of 

345
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,200
long form like some some indie 
Blogger or something. 

346
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,880
We'll be generating hundreds of 
thousands of articles or 

347
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,920
something with AI next year, but
I'm skeptical that a major 

348
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:39,560
outlet will be doing that at 
that scale next year, but we'll 

349
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:40,480
see. 
I just like. 

350
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,000
Media outlets. 
I just go with the, yeah, the 

351
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,400
Logan Roy attitude here, which 
is that money wins. 

352
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,240
And there's a lot of private 
equity firms that own these now 

353
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,200
and. 
If they're not doing this, 

354
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,320
they'll they'll yeah, management
will get fired. 

355
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,520
This is an amazing way to cost 
cut and it's also an amazing way

356
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,920
to get links from Google search.
So I just think it's going to be

357
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,360
very tempting for a lot of these
companies. 

358
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:08,760
All right, next prediction. 
By December 31st, 2025, the 

359
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:13,120
first AI generated feature 
length film will be released in 

360
00:19:13,120 --> 00:19:18,000
theaters, with the script and 
visuals both entirely crafted by

361
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:25,880
AI. 25% probability under. 
I'm crushing the under on that. 

362
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:29,400
I just think that you have to do
a deal with theaters like get 

363
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,160
distribution and Hollywood's 
going to lose their effing minds

364
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,000
if somebody tries to do this in 
the next year. 

365
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:38,040
So I just think the the Gears of
entertainment don't turn that 

366
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,000
quickly. 
I'm not saying somebody won't 

367
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,160
generate a feature film by the 
end of 25 that plausibly could 

368
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,720
be in a theater, although I I 
would actually debate that as 

369
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:47,200
well. 
But I think that the odds that 

370
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:48,840
it's like actually released in 
theaters. 

371
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:50,640
I'm I'm just super under on 
that. 

372
00:19:51,360 --> 00:19:54,320
They barely, they barely let 
Netflix into the Oscars. 

373
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,360
And your mistake is 
misunderstanding the 

374
00:19:57,360 --> 00:20:01,760
entertainment industry. 
Even though you're you grew up, 

375
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:06,760
you grew up in LA area, but. 
The you can pay to play in 

376
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,600
theaters any day. 
Like there are all these sort of

377
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,240
documents, there are all these 
films that sort of pay to get 

378
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,040
theatre distribution so that 
they account for stuff and you 

379
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,120
can absolutely do that. 
I'm taking the over. 

380
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,440
There are tons, tons of 
companies with an interest to 

381
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:24,240
have this achieved and somebody 
will just buy the theatre plays 

382
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,320
to make it so you. 
Have the like, buy the US 

383
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:29,160
Constitution angle here, which 
is somebody's just gonna fucking

384
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,400
do it because it's gonna sound 
cool basically, and pay to play 

385
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:33,120
the theaters. 
OK? 

386
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,520
I mean, there's already, there's
already a. 

387
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:40,440
Film that Sarah, my wife saw 
that you know, there are some 

388
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:44,040
boundaries like it was shot by 
humans, but then it reorders 

389
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,880
based on AI, you know, so that 
was already in theaters. 

390
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:49,560
So I think. 
This is a good, this is a good 

391
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:50,800
robust debate. 
I like that. 

392
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,760
You're like, you guys believe in
the forces of change and I 

393
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,600
believe in the entrenched hating
institutions. 

394
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,120
I haven't taken my. 
I haven't taken my. 

395
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,040
Well, I was referencing the the 
legislation discussion from 

396
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,600
earlier, but yeah, this is a 
meta point about how quickly the

397
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,080
Gears of power turn. 
And you guys are like really 

398
00:21:07,120 --> 00:21:08,360
quick. 
And I'm like, I don't know. 

399
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,080
So, all right, James, what do 
you think? 

400
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,400
I am also taking the under on 
this one. 

401
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:19,880
Yes, and not for any remote 
reason around theater 

402
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,800
distribution, but just purely 
from model capability. 

403
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:26,680
Like the specification of this 
prediction is that the script 

404
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:30,600
and visuals have to entirely be 
created by AII think that we are

405
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,800
not there on visuals, we're 
barely there on scripting. 

406
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:36,800
I don't think we're there on 
scripting either, by the way. 

407
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,120
I haven't. 
Seen the script as you started 

408
00:21:39,120 --> 00:21:42,680
the episode with is that there's
a lot of control in models over 

409
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,040
prompting. 
And so it's like if they prompt,

410
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:49,720
they could prompt a whole script
into it and then output a script

411
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,960
and say it was AI. 
And that I just think there's 

412
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,680
such a strong incentive for the 
result to be it was AI that like

413
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,120
humans can put a lot of thought 
into it and get what they want. 

414
00:21:59,120 --> 00:22:01,080
I don't think it'll be hard to 
do a script. 

415
00:22:01,120 --> 00:22:04,680
I mean, it won't be a good 
script, but I do think it'll be 

416
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,080
hard to create a full feature 
length. 

417
00:22:07,120 --> 00:22:08,760
Does it say it says feature 
length? 

418
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:12,760
I don't know that Probably 120 
minutes or something of visuals 

419
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:17,240
like a that's extremely 
expensive to create, and also B,

420
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,200
it's like very hard to get any 
sort of consistency of the 

421
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,480
characters or anything. 
I'm just skeptical of the 

422
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:23,160
visual. 
Aspect. 

423
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,600
I think our guys at Runway will 
personally make sure this 

424
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:28,320
happens. 
Yeah, probably the guys. 

425
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,400
It's probably the way Eric wins 
is at the runway. 

426
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:33,120
Our friends at Runway just 
bribe. 

427
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:34,560
Have a theater chain into doing 
right? 

428
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:36,600
Yeah. 
They listen to this episode, 

429
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:38,560
they listen to this episode and 
they're like. 

430
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,840
They're like Eric's got some 
skin in the game and we're gonna

431
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,440
help him out here. 
We do this, Eric is gonna brag 

432
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,760
about us on the next. 
Year's yeah. 

433
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:50,840
I Episodes I. 
Don't know they haven't even 

434
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:54,040
released Sora you know yet or. 
It's coming soon. 

435
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:55,920
Somebody was just one of the 
competitors. 

436
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,400
I think Runway maybe was saying 
we think Sora is about to come, 

437
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:00,720
come all right. 
All right, good discussion. 

438
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:05,480
Let's switch over to Claude and 
see how anthropics predictions 

439
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:09,120
do and how you guys respond to 
the probabilities. 

440
00:23:09,120 --> 00:23:12,160
And then we can have a little 
discussion at the end of who's 

441
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:17,200
better at predicting, but meta 
discussion but starting with. 

442
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:20,000
We're already having a 
discussion about our opinions on

443
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,080
their predictions, and then 
we're going to have a higher 

444
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,360
level of discussion about our 
opinions of the relative 

445
00:23:25,360 --> 00:23:27,480
predictive power of the two 
models. 

446
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:31,080
And then we're going to have AI 
watch this represent and react 

447
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,360
to our predictions. 
It's all good. 

448
00:23:33,360 --> 00:23:35,960
It's all good. 
Well, I guess on a certain 

449
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,480
level, you know, think about AI 
is all about intelligence. 

450
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,640
So it's like, how do we 
introspect our introspection 

451
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:41,920
even more anyway? 
Sure. 

452
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:46,000
Yeah, somebody. 
Someday we'll be teaching a 

453
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,720
class in university. 
About this episode. 

454
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,320
All. 
Right, too self indulgent. 

455
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:55,760
All right, all right. 
Starting with Claude's first 

456
00:23:55,760 --> 00:24:00,320
prediction, by December 31st, 
2025, at least three major 

457
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:05,200
smartphone manufacturers among 
Apple, Samsung, Google and 

458
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:10,120
Xiaomi will release phones with 
dedicated AI Co processors 

459
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:14,680
capable of running large 
language models with at least 7 

460
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:20,120
billion parameters entirely on 
device probability 75%. 

461
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,160
And the parameters ones are 
where I'm like. 

462
00:24:23,360 --> 00:24:25,440
I don't even know how many 
parameters they can run on 

463
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:27,960
device right now. 
Can't they run 7 billion locally

464
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:29,720
already? 
Is that wrong? 

465
00:24:30,360 --> 00:24:33,120
I think that the Apple 
intelligence chip can run 7 

466
00:24:33,120 --> 00:24:34,000
billion, right? 
I thought. 

467
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:38,200
It's at least three to four, you
know. 3 billion. 3 billion. 

468
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:38,960
Yeah. 
OK, three to four. 

469
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:40,360
All right, I got it. 
I nailed. 

470
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:44,040
It Apple's current. 
Just to reiterate there, Apple's

471
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:49,600
current on device LLM uses 100% 
local LLM with three billion 

472
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:54,560
parameters and then can also 
connect to external servers for 

473
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,960
larger parameter models. 
And what's the price on this? 

474
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:05,160
Over 75% or probability 75%? 
OK, well I'm gonna grab the 

475
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:10,080
under on that cuz I think 
dedicated Co processor is really

476
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:13,120
what's holding me back here cuz 
that requires like a separate 

477
00:25:13,120 --> 00:25:15,960
chip essentially to go into the 
hardware. 

478
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:19,200
I'm a avid follower of Apple 
rumors and I have not gotten any

479
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,480
sense that they're interested in
adding chips like separate chips

480
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:24,400
to their system to do this kind 
of thing. 

481
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:27,640
And so you'd basically have to 
get Xiaomi, Google and Samsung 

482
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,400
to all do this separately chip 
in the next year. 

483
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:34,560
And there's not really clear 
sentiment that that's necessary 

484
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:38,360
to run these models. 
So yeah, I'll take, I'll take 

485
00:25:38,360 --> 00:25:41,520
the under at 75 for sure. 
You sold me under. 

486
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:47,440
Hardware Hardware timelines are 
really long, and it that that's 

487
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:49,560
only a slightly larger model 
than they can already run 

488
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,280
locally, so it's just not clear.
To me, the parameters make 

489
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:58,560
sense, I And it's also not all 
these come on device for Google.

490
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:00,160
Like, is that really in their 
mission? 

491
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,720
Like there's so much like, we'll
send everything to the cloud. 

492
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,040
Like, are they really? 
Yeah, Apple's the one selling 

493
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:06,800
like everything will happen on 
device. 

494
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:11,200
I think I'd like grab the over 
at like 10% on this, but that's 

495
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:16,360
75 I think under big time. 
Yeah. 

496
00:26:16,360 --> 00:26:20,480
I mean, I guess I'm hearing what
you're saying on the dedicated 

497
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:24,320
aspect, but like I feel like you
could quibble with that 

498
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:30,160
semantically of like as long as 
it's a GPU at all that is 

499
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:34,440
dedicated to running AI tasks. 
Like that's what the. 

500
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,160
GPU. 
They already have a GPU, right? 

501
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:39,320
I mean, yeah. 
OK, so they have essentially a 

502
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:44,360
GPU and then there's a set of 
cores, right? 

503
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:49,640
I guess it's. 
Just what is the neural engine I

504
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:51,040
guess is what? 
I'm yeah, it's like are we 

505
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:54,360
counting the current neural 
engine on there for like 8 years

506
00:26:54,360 --> 00:26:56,680
already as as a yes to this 
because. 

507
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,120
Then it's like. 
Sure. 

508
00:26:58,120 --> 00:27:01,880
Like I guess I mean like, but I 
don't think that's the spirit of

509
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:05,000
the prediction, right, OK. 
Like the the thing they've had 

510
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:06,760
on the phones for the last eight
years. 

511
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:07,840
Is I don't. 
Know. 

512
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,600
So far, Cha Chi BT is beating 
Anthropic because I feel like 

513
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:12,240
there's. 
A quality of prediction. 

514
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:13,200
I don't love this. 
This. 

515
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:16,800
Whatever, Yeah, Anyway. 
James, Just pick, pick and we'll

516
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:20,400
litigate everything afterwards. 
Yeah, I'll take the over and 

517
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,480
I'll try to litigate my take 
that the neural ending. 

518
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:24,720
All right, Great, great. 
All right. 

519
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:30,160
Prediction #2 Anthropic will 
release a model that achieves a 

520
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:35,240
score above 90% on the Unified 
Benchmark for AI Reasoning, or 

521
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,840
Bar Evaluation Suite, which will
become the first model to 

522
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:43,640
outperform the human baseline. 
Human expert baseline of 87%, 

523
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,520
probability 65%. 
Where are they at right now? 

524
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,280
Unified. 
What was the the metric? 

525
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,400
It was unified. 
Benchmark for unified, benchmark

526
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:57,240
for AI reasoning. 
We're all going to frantically 

527
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:00,120
Google for that, yeah? 
It's funny that we have 

528
00:28:00,120 --> 00:28:02,880
anthropic predicting its own 
intelligence. 

529
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:07,080
Capabilities I know. 
I mean, a key part of this is 

530
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:10,120
the claim that it's the first 
also, right? 

531
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:15,800
It says first, right? 
Yeah, it'll be the first model. 

532
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:19,800
For this, for the record, is 
this benchmark real? 

533
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:23,240
I'm I can't find this benchmark.
Is this is this benchmark? 

534
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,560
Being my God, that would be 
hallucinated. 

535
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,320
I think it's my God. 
I can't find this. 

536
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,320
Unified benchmark for AI 
reasoning. 

537
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,760
It's like I was like God. 
I was like, I've never heard of 

538
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,600
this benchmark like. 
I love it. 

539
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:44,280
It's crazy. 
It's hallucinate a benchmark. 

540
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:50,000
I mean, can you find it? 
Like it says something about our

541
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:54,960
deference that at first I'd. 
Wear like I did not defer. 

542
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:58,080
I didn't. 
No, no, no, I assume. 

543
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:00,640
That it's. 
Do do not loot me into this. 

544
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,400
Definitely. 
I feel like I I immediately 

545
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:05,320
googled it and I was like, what 
I've never heard of this. 

546
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:08,600
I've heard of like MMLU. 
I've heard of like, you know, a 

547
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,720
couple other evals, but I've 
never heard of the bar like or 

548
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,800
whatever. 
Maybe this is like internal 

549
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:18,480
philanthropic. 
Maybe this is like like, we'll 

550
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:22,000
all be proven idiots when this 
becomes a benchmark, right? 

551
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,560
And then? 
They leaked this. 

552
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:26,840
Yeah, OK. 
I guess I will. 

553
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:29,160
I'll take the under given I'm 
not sure this benchmark. 

554
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:33,040
Is real I guess if it doesn't 
exist we can create it and you 

555
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:35,680
know y'all rule it and you can 
make it true. 

556
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:39,400
We'll have to do some more 
Googling. 

557
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:43,000
Later OK, but I don't think this
benchmark exists for my own 

558
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:47,160
recent. 
Just very quick for the listener

559
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,520
to get to the substance. 
I know we're focused on 

560
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:53,280
technicalities. 
Do you think someone will 

561
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:58,240
surpass sort of human 
intelligence overall by the end 

562
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:00,640
of next year? 
And do you think it will be 

563
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:02,480
anthropic first? 
Just quick 10. 

564
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,520
In some kind of evaluation, 
you're saying basically like, 

565
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:09,160
yeah, yeah, for sure. 
I, I sort of think we're like 

566
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:11,280
already there. 
But I guess it depends what 

567
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:13,000
invented benchmark. 
Exactly. 

568
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,960
That's the take I was going to 
get, which is we have sort of 

569
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:19,800
quietly passed humans on a lot 
of things already. 

570
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:25,040
And we're just this, you know, 
since people, you know, smartest

571
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:27,400
in every domain still remains 
smarter than it. 

572
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:31,000
Like we've sort of under 
undersold how exciting it is for

573
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,520
it to be smarter than the 
average human on on a lot of 

574
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:35,840
stuff. 
Totally. 

575
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:40,720
Next prediction from Claude. 
At least 5 Fortune 500 companies

576
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,920
will replace more than 25% of 
their middle management 

577
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:48,520
positions with AI systems for 
task delegation and performance 

578
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:51,840
monitoring, publicly 
acknowledging this transition in

579
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:58,840
their annual reports. 
Probability 25%. 25% chance that

580
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,880
25% of middle management 
positions get axed. 

581
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,600
What if they become ICS? 
If they become individual 

582
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,360
contributors where they don't 
get fired, is this met? 

583
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,240
I think that this would be met 
because I think that we're 

584
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:16,120
saying past delegation and 
performance monitoring, meaning 

585
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:18,720
it's most most of the management
responsibilities. 

586
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:23,400
I'll, I'll, I'll take that over.
And my reasoning is essentially 

587
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,600
just that there's a lot of 
companies, there's in fact 500 

588
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,440
companies in the Fortune 500 
and. 

589
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:30,400
A lot. 
There's some. 

590
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:31,840
Number. 
Yeah, yeah. 

591
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,040
There's a pretty high number, 
somewhere around 500 of them. 

592
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:39,680
And and plenty of those 
companies are not growing or 

593
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:45,440
shrinking and need to cut talent
in some way or another to manage

594
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:48,840
the business. 
And this will be the greatest 

595
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,800
freaking like cover stories. 
Yeah, exactly. 

596
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:55,320
Smoke and mirrors. 
Like, you know, look over here, 

597
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:58,760
like the left hand's doing some 
AI doing layoffs because they're

598
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:00,440
right. 
Yes, right, right. 

599
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:03,360
This is going to be an amazing 
way to drop in your earnings 

600
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:06,120
report that like we had to 
layoff a bunch of people, you 

601
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:08,760
know, but it's cool because 
it's, it's about the future dog.

602
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:12,280
We're adopting AI. 
So I think that, yeah, I just 

603
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:17,920
totally buy that, you know, 5 
out of 500, we'll need to do 

604
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:21,720
that in the next year. 
And it's just an amazing cover 

605
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:23,640
story for doing layoffs. 
What's the percentage? 

606
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:28,080
Eric James. 
They need to replace more than 

607
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:32,520
25% of their management 
positions and the probability is

608
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,960
25% that this occurs. 
Wow, so it's a much better 

609
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,760
return for me to say. 
Yes, yeah, you get a, you get a 

610
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,840
4X return on the Yes. 
Yeah, over. 

611
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:46,880
I mean, yeah, I, I think the, 
the covers you guys, I'm, I'm 

612
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:50,360
not, I'm not as excited about AI
in middle management 

613
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:54,120
necessarily, but I do think 
there are too many middle 

614
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:57,200
manager like we have this whole 
separate trend of like Facebook 

615
00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:01,200
and companies saying let's just 
like be flatter organizations 

616
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:02,600
overall. 
And I feel like we're in that 

617
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:05,800
trend. 
And I do agree that the AI trend

618
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:10,200
is sort of going to get mixed in
with that, but I'm not convinced

619
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:14,320
that AI is going to come for the
middle managers first. 

620
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:17,360
I think it's going to supplement
sort of the coders and 

621
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,240
frontline. 
You know, I to me, the 

622
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:22,040
deployment model is more like 
people are actually doing the 

623
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:26,120
work, figuring out how AI makes 
them better and sort of adding 

624
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:29,640
it to their just making 
themselves look better to their 

625
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,280
bosses. 
And I think that's how my model 

626
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:35,640
for how AI is getting deployed 
in workplaces, which is just 

627
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:38,960
sort of like people hacking shit
together and delivering results.

628
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,600
But I'm still taking the over. 
Yeah. 

629
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:45,960
I, I don't know, you kind of 
convinced me to take the under 

630
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:50,400
there. 
I think that I think that AI 

631
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:54,400
will have a much bigger impact 
on sort of IC roles. 

632
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:57,640
And you know, we've seen this 
already and some of the customer

633
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:02,040
service oriented companies sort 
of announcing and bragging that 

634
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:05,000
they can hire less 
representatives. 

635
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:08,760
So I think we're more likely to 
see that first before companies 

636
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:14,760
start taking this AI approach on
management, but could be wrong. 

637
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:19,320
25% is a big number at a Fortune
5. 

638
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:24,080
Exactly like are are they gonna?
I I, I think I'm gonna I've my 

639
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:26,800
whole argument is the under. 
I feel like I should just like. 

640
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:28,159
No, you're not allowed to 
switch. 

641
00:34:28,159 --> 00:34:31,560
You you really you? 
You made me not switch on like 

642
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:33,080
2. 
On the fence, I could see the 

643
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:34,600
advantage you. 
Know you're on the fence, you 

644
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:37,560
know, No, I'm committed or I'm 
over. 

645
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:38,120
Yeah. 
Committed. 

646
00:34:38,159 --> 00:34:40,679
It's funny that I made the whole
case for the I. 

647
00:34:40,679 --> 00:34:42,320
Know, I know. 
Thank you. 

648
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,040
Thank you for. 
Your all right, all right. 

649
00:34:45,679 --> 00:34:47,159
Once you say the words, you're. 
Locked. 

650
00:34:47,159 --> 00:34:48,719
Yeah, once you say the words, 
you're locked, Bear. 

651
00:34:49,199 --> 00:34:53,040
It locked. 
All right, let's go to the next 

652
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:59,040
prediction from Claude. 
This prediction is that the deep

653
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:02,960
mind or let's say Google 
broadly, will demonstrate an AI 

654
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:06,680
system capable of discovering at
least one novel pharmaceutical 

655
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:11,520
compound that also passes phase 
one clinical trials, reducing 

656
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:16,560
that typical discovery to trial 
timeline by around 50%. 

657
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:20,000
We will just specifically say 
that it has to have discovered a

658
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:23,640
compound and passed phase one 
trials within the next year, 

659
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:27,640
probability 20%. 
I'm gonna take the Max world 

660
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:30,640
view, which is like a lot of 
these are predictions about 

661
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:33,360
society. 
And I definitely don't think 

662
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:37,440
drug approvals are going to sort
of just get much faster because 

663
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:40,400
AI companies say they should. 
So I'm going to take the under. 

664
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:44,480
Who's Running the FDAI guess is 
another. 

665
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:45,760
Yeah, exactly. 
Oh yeah, that's. 

666
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:48,280
Trump I'm only conflicted 
because the Trump administration

667
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:50,080
is about to take over. 
But they don't like Google, 

668
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,000
Google or they're not going to 
like Fast Track Google. 

669
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:53,880
That's the last company. 
That's the company they want to 

670
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,320
hit the most. 
Yeah, they don't like the FD. 

671
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:58,120
Or sorry, Yeah, they don't like 
Google. 

672
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:01,960
They also like pretend they 
didn't do Operation Warp Speed 

673
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:03,480
even though that was like the 
coolest thing ever. 

674
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:07,160
I don't really know how long, 
like Phase 1 specifically. 

675
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:08,440
I know I don't know a lot. 
About. 

676
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:11,360
I mean, I know the entire half. 
The time, right? 

677
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:12,680
Yeah, so. 
I know the entire. 

678
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:15,880
I don't know. 
I think that's just like kind of

679
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:19,200
an additive less necessary 
component of the prediction 

680
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:21,160
reducing the typical discovery. 
OK. 

681
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:24,840
So well it just says bypassing 
phase one clinical trial within 

682
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:27,360
a year, it is reducing the. 
Typical would be very fast. 

683
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:30,520
Would be a 50% improvement in 
speed I guess. 

684
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:32,680
I know the entire time is like 
passage. 

685
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:36,080
It's like 10. 10 to 15 years. 
And so it's on the order of 

686
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:41,960
years for sure for phase one. 
Gosh, yeah, I think I just got 

687
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:44,240
to stick with my, I don't 
believe that the the 

688
00:36:44,240 --> 00:36:47,880
institutions change as fast as 
the technology here and take the

689
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:50,840
under even though 20% with the 
new administration is is 

690
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:54,600
appealing, that's just feels 
like a high bar to pass phase 

691
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:56,520
one trials. 
It does seem like phase one 

692
00:36:56,520 --> 00:37:00,840
involves actual experiments on 
yeah, which AI cannot speed up. 

693
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:06,320
I just read Dario's essay and 
like one of the main points that

694
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:10,880
he makes in his bowl case on AI 
is just a lot of the limits will

695
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:13,920
be human systems and things 
where you have to run real world

696
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:17,160
experiments and even if it has 
good ideas, the experiments 

697
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:21,120
could take a while anyway. 
All right, would you say? 

698
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:24,760
I'm taking the under too. 
I think that it just seems too 

699
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:28,400
fast to occur. 
Would you guys take the over on 

700
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:32,160
Google entering phase one trials
or something with something? 

701
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:35,840
Yeah, I think there'll be a 
discovery or some. 

702
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:38,440
Yeah, yeah. 
Registering for them or 

703
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:39,960
something? 
Over 20%, I would take the 

704
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:43,680
around 20%. 
Obviously Demis at DeepMind is 

705
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:46,960
quite passionate about biology, 
is a major application for AI. 

706
00:37:47,240 --> 00:37:49,720
So yeah, I mean, I think that 
would be a cool thing for them 

707
00:37:49,720 --> 00:37:52,280
to demo, say, hey, look, we made
a drug. 

708
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:54,240
Yeah. 
All right. 

709
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:59,120
Let's do one more from Claude. 
All right, prediction. 

710
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:02,560
The first international treaty 
specifically governing AI 

711
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:06,800
development and deployment would
be ratified by 15 countries or 

712
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:12,360
more, including three of the 
following countries, US, China, 

713
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:16,480
EU, UK. 
What's the percentage on this? 

714
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:18,040
Is 5% like? 
Yeah. 

715
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:21,480
What is this like a 1%? 
They're legally binding 

716
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:26,240
commitments on things like model
evaluation and a standard. 

717
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:27,920
What is the percentage they 
gave? 

718
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:31,400
Yeah, 50%. 
Oh my God, this is that's the 

719
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:33,400
Claude's. 
That's the I feel like that we 

720
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:35,800
needed much better. 
That's like that's the easiest. 

721
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:39,200
Under Under. 
Claude's like, under Claude's 

722
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:42,560
like dreaming of this fantasy 
safety world or it's something 

723
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:45,360
where where every country has 
come together. 

724
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:47,960
China, or like I didn't get the 
memo. 

725
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:51,920
You don't need the US or China 
because you only need three of 

726
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:56,520
these entities. 
So you could have EUUK and Japan

727
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:58,040
all entering some sort of 
treaty. 

728
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:02,120
OK, interesting. 
EUI would believe I mean UK 

729
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:05,880
though is sort of I mean I 
definitely am picking the. 

730
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:09,680
Under I just feel like the yeah,
the UK is a mess economically 

731
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:11,840
right now. 
Like our, you know, is the 

732
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:14,440
Labour Party really going to be 
like, yeah, guys, we're not 

733
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:17,240
fixing the economy, but we 
signed this dumb AI treaty that 

734
00:39:17,240 --> 00:39:20,400
none of you care about. 
Like, I, I don't know, I, I 

735
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:22,200
think they got bigger fish to 
fry there. 

736
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:27,760
Yeah, under, under A50 for sure.
Yeah, I agree with you guys 

737
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:32,760
taking the under on that. 
Yeah, I think this is Claude's 

738
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:37,080
own fever dream of hoping for. 
A better place, a better world, 

739
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:39,680
a better world. 
AI where Claude itself is highly

740
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:45,320
regulated, Yes. 
Yeah, OK, great. 

741
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:48,240
Great work everyone. 
That was fun. 

742
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:52,280
How do you guys think ChatGPT 
did compared to Claude? 

743
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:54,880
What do you like about the 
different predictions? 

744
00:39:56,720 --> 00:39:58,680
Well, it seemed like Claude 
made-up some stuff. 

745
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:03,160
I did think it had a little bit 
of a safety ISM trend line. 

746
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:08,800
So I don't know. 
They're all blur to me but it 

747
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:10,840
felt like the first half. 
Were. 

748
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:15,200
More interesting in the second. 
It seemed like GBT's predictions

749
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:19,160
were more entertaining as well 
as more somewhat realistic. 

750
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:22,840
I guess. 
So I think I would give GBT the 

751
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:26,240
clear victory in this round of 
entertaining and reasonably 

752
00:40:26,240 --> 00:40:28,400
accurate predictions. 
Maybe you prompted? 

753
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:32,200
For O1 for reasoning models. 
Yeah, you prompted exactly the 

754
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:33,000
same stuff. 
Or. 

755
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:35,040
Exact same prompt. 
Yeah, yeah. 

756
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:37,680
Right. 
Well, that's a that makes me 

757
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:40,280
more excited for the full 
version of O1 coming out. 

758
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:42,400
Yeah, that would that's probably
one of our one of our 

759
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:43,840
predictions. 
I think that's coming out this 

760
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:47,880
year, right, is the rumor. 
I mean, the zoom out thing that 

761
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:53,560
I took from this is just how 
much human systems interplay 

762
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:56,680
with the things we want AI to 
deliver. 

763
00:40:56,680 --> 00:41:02,600
And even if we are bullish on 
rapid development of AI, there 

764
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:05,040
are a lot of things where we're 
like, well, the human systems 

765
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:07,840
will still effectively limit 
what it can do. 

766
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:11,960
That's self driving drug 
development, sort of everything 

767
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:14,320
under the sun. 
And so I think that's 

768
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:17,080
interesting to come out of this.
How much? 

769
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:22,600
Yeah, this this sort of societal
piece is still sort of a strong 

770
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:25,200
clever on what AI can 
accomplish. 

771
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:29,360
I feel like the way we get to 
that treaty is that something 

772
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:32,400
horrible goes on, right? 
Yeah, exactly right. 

773
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:34,240
Like, yeah. 
Something cool. 

774
00:41:34,240 --> 00:41:36,720
Yeah. 
We underestimated Black Swan. 

775
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:40,440
We have to narrowly escape from 
some horrible thing to get a 

776
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:42,880
binding treaty between a bunch 
of countries, I think. 

777
00:41:43,240 --> 00:41:44,280
Oh. 
Yeah, then we'll look really 

778
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:44,760
dumb. 
Yeah. 

779
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:47,720
It's like they, you know, AI 
does figure out how to like. 

780
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:50,600
Although we just had a paper. 
Clips or whatever to send a 

781
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:53,000
nuclear. 
Bomb we just had a pandemic and 

782
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:55,280
nothing came out of that like 
hey. 

783
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:58,040
Move on. 
It's not like. 

784
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:00,560
Some tragedies that bother us 
more than others. 

785
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:03,120
Yeah, but the US, China and the 
EU didn't get together and be 

786
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:05,280
like, hey, maybe we should like 
control pandemics a little more 

787
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:06,840
carefully. 
Like, you know, let's let's 

788
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:09,280
regulate that a little bit. 
It's like, Nah, we we got 

789
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:10,440
through it. 
Don't worry about it. 

790
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:14,520
Let's just get on the record on 
yeah, I mean the core just 

791
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:17,120
because it is a prediction 
episode and like we, we got into

792
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:21,680
sort of the technicals like do 
you think the models will be 

793
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:26,560
significantly smarter next year,
like by the end of next year in 

794
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:30,320
that they will we'll see the 
same basic rate of progress, 

795
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:33,680
meaning these are like PhD 
level. 

796
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:39,280
Thinkers I think by the next 
year, I think next year the 

797
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:41,560
overall take from this 
discussion like you said is the 

798
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:44,520
difference between things that 
can be facilitated by software, 

799
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:47,800
things that can be require 
hardware and then things that 

800
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:51,480
require institutions and 
government and so on right and I

801
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:54,480
think next year I think it's 
going to be a crazy year for 

802
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:58,120
leaps forward and software. 
I think that GBT 5 is going to 

803
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:01,680
come I think 01 or O2 or 
whatever the GBT 5 level version

804
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:02,960
of the thinking model is going 
to come. 

805
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:06,000
I think these computer use 
API's, as I said in a previous 

806
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:08,960
episode, or just an incredibly 
powerful interface to the 

807
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:11,480
Internet and the software world 
for these models. 

808
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:17,520
And so I think it's going to be 
like a crazy, crazy software a 

809
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:18,920
year. 
I'm I think it'll be the 

810
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:22,640
beginning of the impact on 
hardware and institutions. 

811
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:26,960
But it feels like the old Intel 
like tick tock strategy where 

812
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:29,600
you have one year where you have
huge progress and then one year 

813
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:31,400
of refinement. 
And that's like the tick and the

814
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:34,280
talk or whatever. 
I think 24 was kind of a talk 

815
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:37,240
year where we didn't have really
dramatic progress in the models,

816
00:43:37,240 --> 00:43:40,800
but we started to see the 
existing models eat away at all 

817
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:44,240
these, you know, tools and 
software that we have. 

818
00:43:44,240 --> 00:43:46,720
And now next year, I think we 
have a big, big tick here. 

819
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:50,040
And that'll be the foundation 
for like, you know, societal 

820
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:52,640
transformation for years and 
decades to come. 

821
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:55,640
So I'm I'm very long model 
progress in 25. 

822
00:43:56,200 --> 00:44:01,920
I think that next year we'll 
we'll be talking about this 

823
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:04,440
trend of AI getting slower and 
slower. 

824
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:09,000
So we started out. 
Just going slower and adventure 

825
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:10,120
define. 
Slower. 

826
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:12,000
All right. 
No, no, no, I don't know. 

827
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:14,880
I'm not talking about reasoning 
capability. 

828
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:16,880
I'm talking about inference time
essentially. 

829
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:21,680
And basically what you, what 
we've seen already is like with 

830
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:24,440
O1, right? 
And now it takes, you know, 5 to

831
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:27,000
30 seconds to return an answer, 
but it can be better. 

832
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:30,800
What we're hearing is that, you 
know, internally, at least in 

833
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:33,960
open AI, they feel like that's a
whole new scaling paradigm to 

834
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:36,880
get better and better reasoning 
is, is inference time compute. 

835
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:41,480
And what I think, you know, 
we'll see is like, like Max 

836
00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:45,200
said, a lot of these computer 
use models are opening up 

837
00:44:45,240 --> 00:44:48,360
opportunities for kind of 
agentic systems. 

838
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:51,440
And we'll start to see, you 
know, people like ourselves 

839
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:55,880
using these models that take 
hours to return US information, 

840
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:57,760
right? 
So Eric could go talk to an 

841
00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:00,120
agent and just be like, hey, 
could you go research this thing

842
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:02,520
for an upcoming article I'm 
writing? 

843
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:07,480
Or, you know, Max and I could 
have one of these agents go off 

844
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:10,760
and kind of research some game 
genre that we're looking to 

845
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:13,440
build, right? 
But it will just take longer and

846
00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:15,760
longer to return. 
And, and, you know, I think 

847
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:17,120
that'll be a really interesting 
trend. 

848
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:21,600
And I think that, you know, 
maybe that's the prediction for 

849
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:24,480
our, our own internal usage of 
how things are, how we're going 

850
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:27,400
to be changing how we work with 
these age, these AI systems. 

851
00:45:27,720 --> 00:45:32,000
But I also think more specific 
prediction for like industry or 

852
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:36,120
or enterprise would be that 
we're going to see a lot of use 

853
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:39,040
cases in, in sort of the finance
space for these agents, right? 

854
00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:44,120
Like there will be new forms of 
hedge funds or investment groups

855
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:47,280
that are like using these agents
to actually trade. 

856
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:49,800
And, you know, maybe we'll see 
that primarily in crypto, but I 

857
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:52,800
could also see that occurring in
sort of traditional assets. 

858
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:55,520
But I do think we're going to 
see a lot of like adoption of 

859
00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:59,160
these agentic models to like 
trade their own portfolios on 

860
00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:04,440
behalf of their, you know, human
kind of owners or overseers, I 

861
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:06,280
guess. 
I mean, this isn't a prediction.

862
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:10,960
And I think it sort of I mean, I
think one thing we are seeing is

863
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:15,000
that intelligence can be out 
there and most a lot of people 

864
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:17,800
don't know how to use it, right.
So I think we're going to see 

865
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:22,240
obviously this uptick in 
applications taking existing, 

866
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:25,120
you know, the intelligence that 
has been proven with open AI, 

867
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:28,800
Anthropic and others and making 
it much more straightforward for

868
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:30,800
people to use it in particular 
use cases. 

869
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:33,640
And I think there's going to be 
a ton of money there. 

870
00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:36,000
So that's applications, which 
we've talked a lot about. 

871
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:38,680
And then I think the other piece
that you're sort of touching on 

872
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:41,600
is that they're going to be 
these sort of specialists that 

873
00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:44,520
appreciate how intelligent these
models are. 

874
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:46,880
And they're going to figure out 
either how to use it and make 

875
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:51,360
money on it directly or become 
service providers for people who

876
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:54,400
haven't really figured it out 
and do things better and say, 

877
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:56,400
all right, just pay me. 
I'll solve this problem. 

878
00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:59,600
Secretly I'm using AI or not so 
secretly I'm using AI so I can 

879
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:01,800
do it cheaper than you. 
And I think that's how we're 

880
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:05,320
going to see these two models. 
There's sort of two ways people 

881
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:08,760
are going to implement AI. 
And I think so we'll see more AI

882
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:10,840
applications and AI service 
companies. 

883
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:13,560
And, you know, the AI 
applications will almost 

884
00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:17,960
certainly lag the actual power, 
the thinking power of AI. 

885
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:22,240
So it'll be an interesting sort 
of push and pull there. 

886
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:24,880
For sure. 
Cool. 

887
00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:27,800
Yeah, Super fun. 
Yeah. 

888
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:32,400
Well, I feel, I don't know, 
James, you'll try and come up 

889
00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:34,960
with the score of those 
predictions. 

890
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:38,040
I don't know. 
I think, I think to me they were

891
00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:42,440
more like what the draft I am 
invested, ego invested in the 

892
00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:44,240
outcome. 
I feel like these predictions 

893
00:47:44,240 --> 00:47:48,960
were more thought experiment 
than necessarily to me, the sort

894
00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:53,040
of perfect proxy for what we 
think, how accurately we see 

895
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:55,880
what's coming in AI, but 
certainly enjoyed it. 

896
00:47:56,520 --> 00:47:58,880
That was a fun, fun concept. 
Fun episode. 

897
00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:00,920
Yeah. 
Yeah, Greg. 

898
00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:03,880
Well, like really really 
demonstrated that AI was better 

899
00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:06,440
at creating the grist for the 
content. 

900
00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:07,880
Than we are. 
Yeah, exactly. 

901
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:10,040
I mean, we were supposed to come
up with predictions as like, 

902
00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:12,160
yeah. 
I got a couple. 

903
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:14,080
Ideas. 
I mean it shows that sometimes 

904
00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:16,600
like just having throwing shit 
at the wall to react to you is 

905
00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:19,440
better than like overthinking my
perfect prediction. 

906
00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:23,000
And getting and getting your hot
picks live, right? 

907
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:24,720
Getting. 
Yeah, exactly. 

908
00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:27,560
Having to think through it. 
Seeing the thinking, that's 

909
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:30,560
something that, you know, AI is 
just starting to learn how to 

910
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:33,320
do. 
You know, humans still went on 

911
00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:38,160
the showing our thought process.
Anyway, we will be back after 

912
00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:43,160
Cerebral Valley and we will be 
publishing all the talks. 

913
00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:46,480
We're going to be throwing you 
our favorite clips and then we 

914
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:50,920
will be back with Max and James 
after the conference, reacting 

915
00:48:51,240 --> 00:48:52,880
to everything that happened on 
stage. 

916
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:56,520
So come back and see us, 
newcomer. 

917
00:48:56,720 --> 00:48:57,600
All right. 
Thanks so much. 

918
00:48:58,320 --> 00:48:58,640
Thank you.
