Episode notes

David Frum: We need more communication in a world. In general, just talking to people is a good thing. He says we should maybe think about modeling how children go about learning and bring it into our conception of training these models better. "I was watching the older kids and even my two and a half year old granddaughter"

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:
