There is a heatwave in London, perhaps Demis needs to stay out of the sun and drink more water. Or perhaps he is seeking more funding/a fight to maintain his divisions AGI research budget.

Show me the incentive and I’ll show you the outcome.

These people who read too many scifi books and confused them with reality are royally annoying.

There is real and potential harm from AI, but the more someone talks/write abut AI safety, the less they care about actual harm to real people, economy and what not.

The premise is "Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), a system that exhibits all the cognitive capabilities the brain has, is probably only a few short years away". If this is true, establishing an institution to ensure things like "publishing model cards with technical details, maintaining strong internal cybersecurity, vetting key personnel, and providing sufficient resourcing for safety and security research" is…

The A(G)I can tell us if and how it needs to be regulated :-/

On the STEM side, yes no doubt he is a lot smarter than me.

But as per the documentary of his life, he is wholly focused on AGI and will remain unfulfilled if he, or indeed anyone else, doesn't achieve it within his lifetime.

> what sorts of new economic models will be needed to help everyone thrive in a post-scarcity world

What sort of new economic models did we come up with to help everyone thrive in a post-X world? Like, food production is really a solved technical problem. We can feed anyone on the planet if we wanted to. Another example: we could put everyone who's homeless into some sort of a house. Have we done that yet?

All the frontier labs are lobbying hard to lock down the AI market, because they see that their position at the top is temporary and that there's no secret sauce.

no, this post was written by Demis from Deepmind.
