I think that what you need to have is the LLMs have a certain responsibility to a training set of safety, not infinite responsibility. This is what the lawyers will be working on. And so I think part of what we'll do is we'll have AI hopefully more on the side of angels than on devils. That's part of the reason I'm an advocate for acceleration, move fast the future,. Because it's part of being more safe there.
In his second appearance, Reid Hoffman joined Tyler to talk everything AI: the optimal liability regime for LLMs, whether there’ll be autonomous money-making bots, which agency should regulate AI, how AI will affect the media ecosystem and the communication of ideas, what percentage of the American population will eschew it, how gaming will evolve, whether AI’s future will be open-source or proprietary, the binding constraint preventing the next big step in AI, which philosopher has risen in importance thanks to AI, what he’d ask a dolphin, what LLMs have taught him about friendship, how higher education will change, and more. They also discuss Sam Altman’s overlooked skill, the biggest cultural problem in America, the most underrated tech scene, and what he’ll do next.
