Gary Marcus is always fuming. It's like Gary Marcus has a Gary Marcus agenda to push as a Gary Marcus cognitive scientist. If Gary Marcus could shut the *fck up for one week about how much AI sucks, I would be impressed - but Gary Marcus is incapable of doing that. Gary Marcus! Gary. Marcus.
This is the most honest explanation for whole AI situation at the moment: better frontier models are coming. They might not be AGI, but still can have a huge impact on the industry - cheaper, better reasoning, less hallucination and so on. Anyone who architects the product assuming the frontier model will be stuck at today's capabilities, won't be in a good situation.
People went from being blown away at GPT-4 to assuming AI will be stuck at it in the space of literally one year. Even Claude 3.5, which is better, didn't do much to change that perception, because it wasn't astoundingly better. It is the strangest and least justified assumption to make about a rapidly advancing technology in living memory. It's how we are wired as humans, that we are almost impossible to impress, but even so, rationally, it is nonsensical. I don't care if it takes one, two or even three more years for the next major leap in frontier models - if GPT-5 is to GPT-4 what GPT-4 was to GPT-3, it will be a staggering improvement, and we will be entering territory that if it isn't AGI, will be so capable as to render the term meaningless. AGI is such a vague term with so many definitions now that the term is already functionally meaningless - yeah yeah, AGI or not, what can this model DO? AlphaFold 2 has been cited over 20,000 times in papers since it became open-source exactly three years ago, turning medicine on its head. But human trials by their very nature take time. And now AlphaFold 3, which is substantially simpler and better, is out, and who knows what it will do, along with all the other AI models being integrated into medicine right now. But because we don't already have the cure for cancer or whatever, and these are medical models and not sexy chatbots, nobody notices outside of those of us who take a particular interest in such things.
This tells me GPT-4 was the top of the last sigmoid curve, and it will take about a year from now to scale the next generation of models for release. And no, he is not some hack, he DOES know what he is talking about. Check out his Wiki bio.
A year is also very fast if you take into account the change in capabilities of gpt 3 vs gpt 4, gpt 5 would be crazy. And If that be the case I will start believing in this theory of scaling laws
@@nuclearenergy919 Indeed. If it be the case. But really, twice as long as that would still be insanely fast too, again considering the jump between 3 and 4. Even if scaling stopped dead tomorrow, what we already have is enough to massively change society as it is integrated into all kinds of systems over the next decade, and we know that the models are just going to keep getting better in that timeframe anyway, whether it be due to scaling or other methods. There's lots of gas in the tank, scaling is just one tool. Interview was grounded and hype-free. Dude is based af, as others here have said.
Either way, we’ll know whether scaling LLMs has exhausted itself or hit diminishing returns in no more than a few years. None of these companies can hype forever. But they’re working on other approaches if scaling fails, and there is no lack of potential in those. These companies didn’t get where they are by being idiotic or investing in one approach. If the LLM bubble bursts, AI will bounce back quickly.
@@niederrheiner8468 I didn't say Microsoft specifically. I just said "none of these companies", by which I meant big tech in general. They are not hedging everything on LLMs and scaling. AlphaFold isn't generative AI, and it's pretty f*cking amazing. Of course, that's DeepMind. But all of these half-dozen or so companies would have to be loaded with morons to not be investing heavily in architectures that aren't generative AI.
co piolt is too hyper filtered. microsoft is a corporation that does not care about out privacy but hes a really neat guy. Lets not forget with their openai partnership and all the sketch behind openai since day one..... then the nsa on the board thats scary. still hes a neat guy.
He could retire now and pursue life 2 but if he's concerned about impact stay. My son works there and feels like a cog at times. He feels like he wants to fix things right but of course there is always pressure to just get it done.
I was at LinkedIn during the msft acquisition, and stayed another 5 years after that. Imho Microsoft is amongst the very best tech companies to work for. Feeling like a cog is obviously par for the course in capitalism across the board, but in my experience it's less prevalent at Microsoft than other places. YMMV, but I prefer being a cog to being a nail, which is fairly common at many startups :)

@LevelofClarity we've not only held back and censored our psychology we've been disciplining and attacking our mind thru sanctions, fines,suspensions,monopolization, chasing material dope or physically carving up our bodu tissue to try and fix problems in our lives. We really need this streamlining to help free parents up and allow us to better incentives the family cells pay them back for all that been charged upon passing down countless generations of burden
From $37K to $45K that's the minimum range of profit return every week I thinks it's not a bad one for me, now I have enough to pay bills and take care of my family.
YES!!! That's exactly her name (Elizabeth Maria Hawley) so many people have recommended highly about her and am just starting with her 😊 from Brisbane Australia🇦🇺
Kevin is incredible in this interview. i appreciate him being so open. thank you!!!!
Great interview. Happy to be a partner to Microsoft with this guy as CTO
every time we hear Kevin Scott get interviewed the more we like him
29:15 the frontier model analogy versus inference as an equivalent of building out your own phone and OS to build an app.😂

This channel is a go-to for information. It's the best!
Speaking of Solomonoff, it would be really interesting to find out the details of why Microsoft didn't underwrite the Hutter Prize back in 2006.
this feels such a genuine interview
so incredibly based
Great interview
this is very good but watch at 2.5x speed
Not all of us are hooked on the crazy fast talk of a lot of these interviews.
is the sequoi digital currency?
it listed in pancake swap?
Please answer me soon i'm in hurry

Excuse me for real?,how is that
possible I have struggling
financially, how was that possible?
Thanks to Elizabeth Marie Hawley.
Though I started with as low as $15,000 actually because it was my first time and it was successful, She's is a great personality in the states
YES!!! That's exactly her name (Elizabeth Maria Hawley) so many people have recommended highly about her and am just starting with her 😊 from Brisbane Australia🇦🇺
I have heard a lot of wonderful things about Elizabeth Maria Hawley on the news but didn't believe it until now. I'm definitely trying her out
44:00 Devin mentioned. Stopped watching. No sub.
It’s too monotone for my ears 😞
Old people talking slowly…
@@JumpDiffusion Dude is 52. He's only "old" to a teenager, for whom everyone over 30 is old.
dude doesn't know anything ai, he has to pretend because he's cto
Yeah, a couple minutes in I realized he’s just spitting words. Can’t complain when Microsoft axed their own AI team for OAI lol
This guy's voice does not match his face.
funny, this guy doesn't seem to know anything lol or maybe it's just a poker face... can't tell.
You don't become Microsoft Chief Technical Officer by knowing nothing.
