Few understand both the promise and limitations of artificial general intelligence better than Jack Clark, co-founder of Anthropic. With a background in journalism and the humanities that sets him apart in Silicon Valley, Clark offers a refreshingly sober assessment of AI's economic impact—predicting growth of 3-5% rather than the 20-30% touted by techno-optimists—based on his firsthand experience of repeatedly underestimating AI progress while still recognizing the physical world's resistance to digital transformation. In this conversation, Jack and Tyler explore which parts of the economy AGI will affect last, where AI will encounter the strongest legal obstacles, the prospect of AI teddy bears, what AI means for the economics of journalism, how competitive the LLM sector will become, why he's relatively bearish on AI-fueled economic growth, how AI will change American cities, what we'll do with abundant compute, how the law should handle autonomous AI agents, whether we're entering the age of manager nerds, AI consciousness, when we'll be able to speak directly to dolphins, AI and national sovereignty,  how the UK and Singapore might position themselves as AI hubs, what Clark hopes to learn next, and much more.

With their bachelor-party nightmare Birdeater in theaters and on demand in the US and en route to Canada, Australian filmmakers Jack Clark and Jim Weir drop by to share their love for Akira Kurosawa's relentless 1963 crime drama High and Low, starring Toshiro Mifune as an executive whose scheme to take over his own company is derailed when a kidnapper mistakenly abducts his chauffeur's son. Your genial host Norm Wilner has been waiting so long for someone to pick a Kurosawa movie, you have no idea.

On this episode, I interview BIRDEATER directors Jack Clark and Jim Weir. The movie, about a bride-to-be invited to her fiance's unhinged bachelor party, has taken Australian audiences by storm since its Sydney Film Festival premiere in 2023. Featuring at Melbourne International Film Festival & SXSW, the movie's garnered audience and critical praise, culminating (as of the time I write this) in a nomination for Best Indie Film at the 2025 AACTA Awards (think Australia's combined Oscars and Emmy shows).The film starts its limited American theatrical/digital run this week so what better occasion is there to bring Clark and Weir onto the show to chat about their nuanced, chaotic, delirious pressure cooker of a thriller? For such a passive aggressive movie, these guys are really amiable...---Follow, rate & review The Movies on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, wherever you fortify your cinematic spirit with rigorous, loving opinions.

In Jack Clark and Jim Weir's BIRDEATER, a Aussie bride-to-be (Shabana Azeez) is invited to her fiance's (Mackenzie Fearnley) "bucks party" - a bachelor party to us in the States, but god, doesn't that just sound cooler?She's not alone, as one of the boys also brings his girlfriend to this cabin in the Outback, but it's more of a friend-of-a-friend situation. Drinks flow, silliness inflates, but that's the thing about these kinds of nights: There's always a point of no return. The alcohol tips secrets over the edge. Once those come out, it's like trying to suck toothpaste back into the tube. It just can't happen.What results is a nervous death of a thousand cuts. Every conversation grows tense, regardless of who's speaking to whom. Passive aggression becomes a de facto state and no one's coming out of this party socially unscathed. Hostile, squawking jazz pairs with a bipolar camera designed against comfort. It either swirls wildly around its subjects like a cracked-out carousel or stops still, unflinchingly observing the most excruciating social crucifixions.And yet, this movie isn't A SERBIAN FILM, MARTYRS nor anything of that explicitly vicious ilk. What unsettles about BIRDEATER is how much these people inevitably remind me of folks I know. These portrayals bound between shifting perspectives and ideologies to a degree that makes it seem Weir and Clark refute each other's concerns about these people in real-time. The movie debates itself on matters of social hierarchy, emotional abuse, consent, otherism and the simple, yet debilitating matter of leaving your '20s with something constructive to show for it, despite your hedonistic, paranoid, terrified efforts to the contrary. --- Follow, rate & review The Movies on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, wherever you drizzle velvety film conversations inside your ear canals.

JACK CLARK grew up in the small, 1800 person town of Choteau, Montana. His family owned a small ranch and several small businesses throughout his childhood.The water well industry has been stagnant and afraid of change for decades. After realizing that the learning curve for drilling was too steep to go nationwide, he decided to franchise water well pump servicing. And so 180 Water was born. Jack hopes to grow the company to 1,000 franchise locations nationwide.     CONNECT WITH Jack Clark   Website: https://180waterfranchise.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/180-water/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/XeRD3GvJZnFdQqYK/ Website: https://x.com/180Water     JOIN THE FIGHT AGAINST FOOD INSECURITY   Join the fight against food insecurity here in the U.S. with an online donation. $25 will provide food and life essentials for 10 vulnerable families.

Higher food prices, economic instability, and other factors have made providing for a family even harder. 1 in 8 households in the U.S. is food insecure. That means these families don't have enough money or resources to buy enough food for everyone in their household. As recently as 2022, 7.3 million children lived in food insecure households. Also, 16.9% of children live in poverty.   SNAP Benefits More than 22 million U.S. households use SNAP benefits to help with food costs, as of April 2023. Sometimes known as “food stamps,” SNAP is the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. People who receive SNAP benefits can use it to buy groceries, seeds, and plants for food. SNAP cannot be used to purchase hot food or household items like cleaning supplies, vitamins, or diapers.   CONNECT WITH Cedric Francis Website: https://www.lead2greatness.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cedricbfrancis X (twitter): https://twitter.com/cedricbfrancis Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/leadtogreatness/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cedric-b-francis-a0544037/

Craig Syracusa is joined by Author and Journalist Matt Sieger to discuss his latest book The God Squad: The Born-Again San Francisco Giants of 1978 on Walk in Faith. In 1978, some of the born-again Giants were quite open about their faith during post-game interviews. Jack Clark and Rob Andrews were perhaps the most vocal, but Mike Ivie, Gary Lavelle, and Bob Knepper also talked about their relationship with Jesus in interviews. This was a relatively new phenomenon, as Christian ballplayers in the 1950s and 1960s did not speak openly about their faith.https://www.amazon.com/God-Squad-Born-Again-Francisco-Giants/dp/1631322079/

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: GPT2, Five Years On, published by Joel Burget on June 7, 2024 on LessWrong. Jack Clark's retrospective on GPT2 is full of interesting policy thoughts, I recommend reading the whole thing. One excerpt: I've come to believe that in policy "a little goes a long way" - it's far better to have a couple of ideas you think are robustly good in all futures and advocate for those than make a confident bet on ideas custom-designed for one specific future - especially if it's based on a very confident risk model that sits at some unknowable point in front of you. Additionally, the more risk-oriented you make your policy proposal, the more you tend to assign a huge amount of power to some regulatory entity - and history shows that once we assign power to governments, they're loathe to subsequently give that power back to the people. Policy is a ratchet and things tend to accrete over time. That means whatever power we assign governments today represents the floor of their power in the future - so we should be extremely cautious in assigning them power because I guarantee we will not be able to take it back. For this reason, I've found myself increasingly at odds with some of the ideas being thrown around in AI policy circles, like those relating to needing a license to develop AI systems; ones that seek to make it harder and more expensive for people to deploy large-scale open source AI models; shutting down AI development worldwide for some period of time; the creation of net-new government or state-level bureaucracies to create compliance barriers to deployment (I take as a cautionary lesson, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and its apparent chilling effect on reactor construction in the USA); the use of the term 'safety' as a catch-all term to enable oversight regimes which are not - yet - backed up by quantitative risks and well developed threatmodels, and so on. I'm not saying any of these ideas are without redeeming qualities, nor am I saying they don't nobly try to tackle some of the thornier problems of AI policy. I am saying that we should be afraid of the power structures encoded by these regulatory ideas and we should likely treat them as dangerous things in themselves. I worry that the AI policy community that aligns with longterm visions of AI safety and AGI believes that because it assigns an extremely high probability to a future AGI destroying humanity that this justifies any action in the present - after all, if you thought you were fighting for the human race, you wouldn't want to compromize! But I think that along with this attitude there comes a certain unwillingness to confront just how unpopular many of these ideas are, nor how unreasonable they might sound to people who don't have similar intuitions about the technology and its future - and therefore an ensuing blindnesss to the costs of counterreaction to these ideas. Yes, you think the future is on the line and you want to create an army to save the future. But have you considered that your actions naturally create and equip an army from the present that seeks to fight for its rights? Is there anything I'm still confident about? Yes. I hate to seem like a single-issue voter, but I had forgotten that in the GPT-2 post we wrote "we also think governments should consider expanding or commencing initiatives to more systematically monitor the societal impact and diffusion of AI technologies, and to measure the progression in the capabilities of such systems." I remain confident this is a good idea! In fact, in the ensuring years I've sought to further push this idea forward via, variously, Regulatory Markets as a market-driven means of doing monitoring; articulating why and how governments can monitor AI systems; advocating for the US to increase funding for NIST; laying out why Anthropic believes third-part...

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: SB 1047 Is Weakened, published by Zvi on June 6, 2024 on LessWrong. It looks like Scott Weiner's SB 1047 is now severely weakened. Some of the changes are good clarifications. One is a big very welcome fix. The one I call The Big Flip is something very different. It is mind boggling that we can have a political system where a bill can overwhelmingly pass the California senate, and then a bunch of industry lobbyists and hyperbolic false claims can make Scott Weiner feel bullied into making these changes. I will skip the introduction, since those changes are clarifications, and get on with it. In the interest of a clean reference point and speed, this post will not cover reactions. The Big Flip Then there is the big change that severely weakens SB 1047. 1. 22602 (f)(1): Definition of covered model changed from trained with at least 10^26 flops OR a model expecting to have similar capabilities to what 10^26 flops would have gotten you in 2024 "was trained using a quantity of computing power greater than 10^26 integer or floating-point operations, AND the cost of that quantity of computing power would exceed one hundred million dollars ($100,000,000) if calculated using average market prices of cloud compute as reasonably assessed by the developer at the time of training." 2. On and after January 1, 2026, the dollar amount in this subdivision shall be adjusted annually for inflation to the nearest one hundred dollars ($100) based on the change in the annual California Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers published by the Department of Industrial Relations for the most recent annual period ending on December 31 preceding the adjustment. 3. Later: They will also publish the annual inflation adjustments. Bolded text is exact, except I capitalized AND for clarity. The AND, rather than an OR, makes my heart sink. Effectively, the 10^26 requirement is dead. Long live the $100 million. Where the law previously strengthened over time, now it weakens further. It starts weakening this year. The cost for buying one-time use of 10^26 flops of compute seems likely to fall below $100 million this year. Consider this from Jack Clark, where he got napkin math of $70 million a few months ago, or $110 million if you rented A100s. Jack clarified on Twitter that he expects B100s to offer a large further cost reduction. The compute minimum to be a covered model will begin to rise. The strength of non-covered models then rises both with the fall in compute costs, and also with gains in algorithmic efficiency. The previous version of the bill did an excellent job of handling the potential for Type I (false positive) errors via the limited duty exemption. If your model was behind the non-hazardous capabilities frontier, all you had to do was point that out. You were good to go. Alas, people willfully misrepresented that clause over and over. In terms of the practical impact of this law, the hope is that this change does not much matter. No doubt the biggest models will soon be trained on far more compute than $100 million can buy. So if you train on what $100 million can buy in 2026, someone else already trained a bigger model, and you had a limited duty exemption available anyway, so you not being covered only saved you a minimum amount of paperwork, and provides peace of mind against people spreading hyperbolic claims. What this does do is very explicitly and clearly show that the bill only applies to a handful of big companies. Others will not be covered, at all. If you are spending over $100 million in 2024 dollars on compute, but you then claim you cannot comply with ordinary regulations because you are the 'little guy' that is being stomped on? If you say that such requirements are 'regulatory capture' on behalf of 'big tech'? Yeah. Obvious Nonsense. I have no intention of pretend...

Tune in to today's special episode airing a recent panel with the founders of Scale AI, Anthropic, and AI Fund who gathered in Washington DC to discuss China as an adversary. They argue that the papers out of Tsinghua University are just as impressive as those coming out of American universities. China is just as creative, but maybe even more motivated. While discussions of regulations have encompassed certain restraints, Alex Wang, Andrew Ng, and Jack Clark argue that we're not moving fast enough (moderated by US senator Cory Booker). This session was recorded live at The Hill & Valley Forum in 2024, a private bipartisan community of lawmakers and innovators committed to harnessing the power of technology to address America's most pressing national security challenges.

  There are some choices that need to be made about Abravanel Hall... Should it be torn down, or should we pay $200M to rehabilitate it? There is a petition going around to keep it as it is. Jack Clark, the organizer of the Save Abravanel Hall petition, joins the show to discuss why he started this petition.

Polls will once again open all across North Carolina on Tuesday, May 14. But with mostly down-ballot races on the ballot, will Republican primaries be decided by a tiny number of voters? Political scientist Chris Cooper of Western Carolina University shares some turnout trends and other dynamics for North Carolina's rare runoff primaries with WUNC's Colin Campbell. And we hear from the two Republican candidates for state auditor, Jack Clark and Dave Boliek, who offer contrasting backgrounds and visions for an important state government watchdog role.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: AI #63: Introducing Alpha Fold 3, published by Zvi on May 10, 2024 on LessWrong. It was a remarkably quiet announcement. We now have Alpha Fold 3, it does a much improved job predicting all of life's molecules and their interactions. It feels like everyone including me then shrugged and went back to thinking about other things. No cool new toy for most of us to personally play with, no existential risk impact, no big trades to make, ho hum. But yes, when we look back at this week, I expect what we remember will be Alpha Fold 3. Unless it turns out that it is Sophon, a Chinese technique to potentially make it harder to fine tune an open model in ways the developer wants to prevent. I do not expect this to get the job done that needs doing, but it is an intriguing proposal. We also have 95 theses to evaluate in a distinct post, OpenAI sharing the first draft of their model spec, Apple making a world class anti-AI and anti-iPad ad that they released thinking it was a pro-iPad ad, more fun with the mysterious gpt2, and more. The model spec from OpenAI seems worth pondering in detail, so I am going to deal with that on its own some time in the coming week. Table of Contents 1. Introduction. 2. Table of Contents. 3. Language Models Offer Mundane Utility. Agents, simple and complex. 4. Language Models Don't Offer Mundane Utility. No gadgets, no NPCs. 5. GPT-2 Soon to Tell. Does your current model suck? In some senses. 6. Fun With Image Generation. Why pick the LoRa yourself? 7. Deepfaketown and Botpocalypse Soon. It's not exactly going great. 8. Automation Illustrated.

Mmm, garlic bread. It's been too long. Language Models Offer Mundane Utility How much utility for how much cost? Kapoor and Narayanan argue that with the rise of agent-based systems, you have to evaluate different models on coding tasks based on dollar cost versus quality of results. They find that a simple 'ask GPT-4 and turn the temperature slowly up on retries if you fail' is as good as the agents they tested on HumanEval, while costing less. They mention that perhaps it is different with harder and more complex tasks. How much does cost matter? If you are using such queries at scale without humans in the loop, or doing them in the background on a constant basis as part of your process, then cost potentially matters quite a bit. That is indeed the point of agents. Or if you are serving lots of customers constantly for lots of queries, those costs can add up fast. Thus all the talk about the most cost-efficient approach. There are also other purposes for which cost at current margins is effectively zero. If you are a programmer who must evaluate, use and maintain the code outputted by the AI, what percentage of total costs (including your labor costs) are AI inference? In the most obvious baseline case, something akin to 'a programmer asks for help on tasks,' query speed potentially matters but being slightly better at producing good code, or even slightly better at producing code that is easier for the human to evaluate, understand and learn from, is going to crush...

The petition has already gathered nearly 19,000 signatures and he will join Rod to discuss his efforts.6:05 pm: Senator Mike Lee joins the program for his weekly conversation with Rod about what's happening in Washington, D.C., and today they'll discuss his new legislation targeting federal grant money to ultra-wealthy universities that support DEI programs and have lost control of antisemitic protests.6:20 pm: Mike Maughan, General Manager of Alta Ski Area, joins the program to discuss his “Red Snake Letter” to the Utah Department of Transportation about why he doesn't think a gondola, busing or tolling are the answer to the canyon's transportation issue and why metering lights could solve the problem.6:38 pm: Calder McHugh, Deputy Editor for Politico Nightly, joins Rod for a conversation about his piece on why late-night television hosts won't roast Joe Biden.

Continuing with Dave Schwartz (@Iowa_Dave_SportsCards on IG), we do a deep dive into the 1985 Cardinals. Despite not winning the World Series that season, they remain an iconic 80s team remembered for its blazing speed (Vince Coleman, Willie McGee, and their teammates stole 314 bases!), pitching (John Tudor! Joaquin Andujar!), defense (Ozzie!), and how Whitey Herzog built a winner by making the most out of playing on the Busch Stadium artificial turf. We relive the fastest man in baseball, Coleman, getting run over and rolled up by the slowest object on the field, the tarp. Finally, we get wistful about the late-afternoon diffused sunlight at Chavez Ravine and the NLCS late-game, heroic home runs by Ozzie Smith and Jack Clark off of Tom Niedenfuer that propelled the Cardinals to the World Series against the Kansas City Royals.

Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark says building a safe AI model — named Claude — will differentiate the company from its competitors. And he's calling on Washington to regulate. Will that ultimately help established companies like his? He joined host Steven Overly to discuss. 

This week, the two Republican candidates for State Auditor, Jack Clark and Dave Boliek, join host Tim Boyum. The two aim share their backgrounds with voters, what they hope to bring to this elected position and their focus if elected. Neither got the 30%+ necessary to avoid a runoff and face the current state auditor, Democrat Jessica Holmes, in the fall. The candidates will face off in the second primary on May 14.

Get ready to be the most informed voter on the block! Our latest podcast kicks off with a bang as we tackle the sizzling Republican primary runoff for North Carolina State Auditor. The competition is fierce, and we're here to spotlight the contenders, starting with Dave Boliek—his impressive resume boasts roles such as former prosecutor and UNC Board of Trustees chairman. But it doesn't end there; we're digging into the conservative endorsements that have rallied behind him. Then, there's Jack Clark, who matches up with his CPA credentials and a wealth of auditing experience. Ever wondered how crucial a CPA is for the auditor's office? We've got answers.As you gear up for the May 14th showdown, we don't just throw numbers and stats at you. We're painting full portraits of these candidates, providing insights into their campaign finances and personal anecdotes that reveal the men behind the policies. How does Jack Clark's family life fuel his public service passion? What's the game-changing strategy he proposes for audit selections? This is more than just a political rundown; it's a deep dive into the experiences of these candidates and why their visions for North Carolina matter. With this as the last of our three-part series for the 2024 Second Primary Election, you'll not only know who's on the ballot but also understand the heartbeat of each of their campaigns.Dave Boliek (Facebook) Jack Clark (Facebook, X, Instagram)NC Deep Dive's Voters' Guide for the 2024 Primary Election (pages 21-23)Campaign Finance Reports (State Races)Dave BoliekJack ClarkBallotpediaVoter Information --Register to Vote --Voter Info (Designated Polling Places, Sample Ballots, Registration Status, Voting Jurisdiction, Verify Address and Party Affiliation) --Election Information --Election Day Voting FAQs--Absentee by Mail FAQs Early Voting Locations April 25th-May 11thNorthern Regional Center 350 E.

Hour 1 We started with the Knicks and all of their injuries and Julius Randle in particular. There doesn't seem to be any timetable for his return. Boomer said everyone is annoyed with the bad weather, but Gio showed up today dressed really well in bright white. The Yankees lost their first game, 7-0 to the Diamondbacks. Nestor Cortes had another rough first inning but we can't really complain about the Yankees. Gio said Giancarlo Stanton continues to look terrible at the plate. The Mets got rained out and some fans were angry that they waited too long and let fans in before raining it out. Jerry is here for his first update and has sound from John Sterling and the Yankees loss in Arizona. The Knicks lost to the Heat and the Sixers got Embiid back. Indiana State will play Seton Hall in the NIT finals. Did Dan Orlovsky fart on the Pat McAfee show? In the final segment of the hour, a video emerged of Gary Cohen rolling his eyes after throwing it back to the studio during the rain delay. It's funny, but somebody had to leak that out as it wasn't on the actual broadcast. It had to be somebody at SNY or somebody at MLB that had the direct feed.  Hour 2 Dwight Gooden will be in studio today at 8am and he's coming with former Mets PR guy Jay Horwitz. Boomer is not giving up on the Mets winning more than 81 games. But if the Mets are out of it early, they are going to start dealing guys. Maybe Pete Alonso, Edwin Diaz. Jerry returns for an update but first we talked about how you can get a can of tuna in the vending machine here. Haason Reddick met the media to talk about joining the Jets. Paul Pierce was impressed with Caitlin Clark since she did it against black girls. In the final segment of the hour, Iowa/LSU had over 12 million viewers with the star power of Caitlin Clark.  Hour 3 Dwight Gooden is in studio to talk about his Mets career and his number being retired this month by the Mets. He also revealed that not only is he a grandfather, but he's a great grandfather. It's almost 40 years since Doc started with the Mets. He talked about how weird it felt to play in a Yankees uniform. Doc said that he and Strawberry are in a good place with each other right now, but may want to kill each other again in the future. He finished the interview with a great story about Jack Clark. Jerry returns for an update and starts with sounds from last night's Yankees loss in Arizona. Haason Reddick seems pumped to join the new look Jets. Jim Harbaugh talked about all sorts of things including the birth of Jesus Christ. In the final segment of the hour, Haason Reddick posted a goodbye to the Eagles. He was only there 2 years, so we wondered if he needed to do that. Although he did play for Temple there in Philadelphia as well. The people of Kansas City voted down a proposal to pay for renovations to the stadium. Is there any way the NFL would let the Chiefs move? Gio said there is no way they are moving the Chiefs. We also talked about Buffalo getting a new stadium and fans are upset that they are going to have to buy PSLs.  Hour 4 Boomer did a sports minute about Joe Maddon talking about the Ohtani gambling situation. Boomer thinks the investigation is going to find that Ohtani bet on sports, but not on baseball. Jerry returns for an update and starts with the Yankees getting shutout in Arizona for their first loss of the season. Nestor Cortes got in trouble again in the first inning but pitched well after that. Bryce Harper hit three home runs last night, including a grand slam. The Knicks lost to the Heat and Tom Thibodeau has had it with fouls not being called. Haason Reddick talked about the business decision the Eagles made and his excitement joining the Jets defense. The Moment of The Day involves Dwight Gooden and his Jack Clark story. In the final segment of the show, more information has come out about Rashee Rice and the multi-car accident he was involved with. He was street racing and he left the scene. Gio asked Boomer if his season is in jeopardy because of this. There's a Norwegian Cruise that left passengers who were not back in time from their excursion. It took them 20 days to get back to their cruise ship in another part of Africa.

Our SXSW Film Festival coverage is in full swing with two narrative films that deal with lies and finding out the truth.We Strangers follows a commercial cleaner as she tells a lie (that she can speak to the dead) that spirals out of control. We chat with director/writer Anu Valia about how she created the uncomfortable/anxious tone for the film, interweaving themes of race, power, and assimilation, and how she hopes this film sparks a greater conversation afterwards.Birdeater is a thriller that follows a bride-to-be as she joins her fiance at his bachelor party in the Australian outback. It was a packed house as we were joined by lead actors Shabana Azeez and Mackenzie Fearnley, and co-director/writer Jack Clark and co-director Jim Weir. We get into the environmental and logistical drama that happened off camera, the importance and impact of working with an intimacy coordinator, and the details behind a horrible game we learn about in the film (that's apparently popular in Australia?) called Paranoia.Follow director Anu Valia on IGFollow Birdeater on IGFollow director/writer Jack Clark on IGFollow director Jim Weir on IGFollow actor Shabana Azeez on IGFollow actor Mackenzie Fearnley on IGAudio engineering by Jeff Hunt from Storied: San FranciscoSupport the showThanks for listening and for your support!

Thursday marked the one-year anniversary of the release of ChatGPT. A lot has happened since. OpenAI, the makers of ChatGPT, recently dominated headlines again after the nonprofit board of directors fired C.E.O. Sam Altman, only for him to return several days later.But that drama isn't actually the most important thing going on in the A.I. world, which hasn't slowed down over the past year, even as people are still discovering ChatGPT for the first time and reckoning with all of its implications.Tech journalists Kevin Roose and Casey Newton are hosts of the weekly podcast “Hard Fork.” Roose is my colleague at The Times, where he writes a tech column called “The Shift.” Newton is the founder and editor of Platformer, a newsletter about the intersection of technology and democracy. They've been closely tracking developments in the field since well before ChatGPT launched. I invited them on the show to catch up on the state of A.I.We discuss: who is — and isn't — integrating ChatGPT into their daily lives, the ripe market for A.I. social companions, why so many companies are hesitant to dive in, progress in the field of A.I. “interpretability” research, and America's “fecklessness” that cedes major A.I. benefits to the private sector, and much more.Recommendations:Electrifying America by David E.

Last week, Senator Chuck Schumer brought together Congress and many of the biggest names in AI for the first closed-door AI Insight Forum in Washington, D.C. Tristan and Aza were invited speakers at the event, along with Elon Musk, Satya Nadella, Sam Altman, and other leaders. In this update on Your Undivided Attention, Tristan and Aza recount how they felt the meeting went, what they communicated in their statements, and what it felt like to critique Meta's LLM in front of Mark Zuckerberg.Correction: In this episode, Tristan says GPT-3 couldn't find vulnerabilities in code.
