The question ultimately is, it's great to have powerful large language models and the next generation that are coming online are amazing. But do we need more than that? Is GPT for equivalent large language models enough to give us sort of the benefits to humanity without sort of bordering on the existential threats of AGI? And ultimately, the parallel question to that is, are large language models sufficient to get to AGI in your opinion? I think that these things are quite complicated. They're actually like game consoles. Like a lot of the chat GPT functionality was already present from the model over a year ago, but it just wasn't in nice format and usable and testable.
In this episode, Emad and Peter hop onto Twitter Spaces to discuss the latest petition to halt AI training, if language models will lead to AGI, and what could happen if the power of AI is abused.
