JET GPT is the kind of thing a human comes up with where you hear that idea and you go, wow, I have a thought about that that's intriguing. It causes connections in your brain as we'll see. And it actually involved some things that chat GPT is relatively strong about if it was directed in that position and some things where it's relatively weak. One area so like one of the things that JET G PT is best at is what I call vibing. This is the idea of getting the overall sense of how other people will vibe based on the statements that they are making.

The future of AI keeps Zvi Mowshowitz up at night. He also wonders why so many smart people seem to think that AI is more likely to save humanity than destroy it. Listen as Mowshowitz talks with EconTalk's Russ Roberts about the current state of AI, the pace of AI's development, and where--unless we take serious action--the technology is likely to end up (and that end is not pretty). They also discuss Mowshowitz's theory that the shallowness of the AI extinction-risk discourse results from the assumption that you have to be either pro-technological progress or against it.
