Episode notes
How LLMs Work
- Large language models (LLMs) are trained to predict the next word in a sequence, effectively operationalizing understanding through prediction.
- This approach leverages the scale of artificial neural networks and the backpropagation algorithm for learning.
Human vs. LLM Learning
- Humans learn more efficiently from less data compared to current LLMs.
- While LLMs exhibit broad knowledge, humans possess deeper understanding within specific domains.
OpenAI's Evolution
- OpenAI's mission is to ensure AGI benefits humanity, but its structure has evolved from non-profit and open-source to for-profit and closed-source.
- This shift involves complex considerations around power concentration, safety, and the substantial cost of AI development.
