Episode notes

Some models, they optimize too hard to get state-of-the-art accuracy. The structure of our own brains is not this random neural network that have no structure. There's a lot of structure in the brains and how it's developed. We will not survive at the bottom of the ocean or in another planet. It's on Earth. We're very good, narrow intelligences for Earth.

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:
