I was blown away by the tsunami of innovations and everything else. The ability to allow many, many minds of varying interests to use the base technology is going to be able to allow far greater innovations than a closed system. I think something getting back to what we're doing, an open source generative model that's trained on like the world's knowledge,. You put it out there, people would find things to do with it that you will have just simply no idea.
David Ha is the Head of Strategy at Stability AI, and one of the top minds working in AI today. He previously worked as a research scientist in the Brain team at Google. David is particularly interested in evolution and complex systems, and his research explores how intelligence may emerge from limited resource constraints. He joins the show to discuss the advantages of open-source models, modelling AI as an emergent system, why large language models are bad at maths and MUCH more! Important Links:
