Quotes

  • When someone makes [a large language model] that is capable of citing its sources, it will kill Google. [...] Some startup is going to figure it out. I think, if you ask me, [...] I think by the end of the decade Google won't be the number one web page anymore.
  • Sam Altman won't tell you that GPT-4 has 220 billion parameters and is a 16 weight mixture-model with 8 sets of weights.
  • Half of these AI alignment problems are just human alignment problems. And that's what's also so scary about the language that they use. It's not the machines you want to align; it's me.
