Hold on, let me use my powers as a cyborg (by using GPT-4o) to answer this: The future is decidedly female. Admittedly, I am biased as an MTF transsexual, but I firmly believe that in the metaverse, it will be far more enthralling for males to adopt female avatars than it is for females to assume male personas, for several evident reasons. Firstly, male sexuality is predominantly driven by visual stimuli. The allure of female beauty captivates men to such an extent that they are often willing to pay substantial sums for it. Secondly, as societal beauty standards become increasingly surreal and demanding due to the influence of social media, men may find it increasingly challenging to meet these expectations. Consequently, they may either adopt female avatars themselves or resort to AI and robots to fulfill their desires. Moreover, the economic potential of female beauty is vast. Despite the ubiquity of female attractiveness, men continue to pay for it, highlighting its enduring market value. In the future, gender transformation will become more normalized and socially accepted. Assuming a female avatar in the metaverse will be akin to playing a female character in a video game, as the lines between gaming, metaverse filters, and reality blur. As more men transition to female identities and as robots assume control over power structures, reducing the prevalence of violence, power will naturally shift from men to women within democratic societies. Additionally, advancements in reproductive technology may enable individuals to have children independently or with friends. Given their innate nurturing tendencies, females may prefer asexual reproduction or genetic combinations with friends, while men might indulge in hedonistic pleasures within virtual realms. Consequently, women will be the primary custodians of future generations, imparting their values and ideals. Furthermore, violence against females will diminish, and males, on an archetypal level, are predisposed to protect and venerate women. Even the most macho men, who desire their partners to be subservient, derive satisfaction from providing for them, bearing the heaviest burdens with a sense of pride.

Arthur C. Clarke had something to say on the matter: 1. "When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong." 2. "The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible." 3.

I feel we’re on the same track with AI. The first AI tool to truly revolutionize the world won’t be the first model to do X or the most powerful model or the most advanced. It will be the first model that smoothly and seamlessly slides right in to everyday life and enhances it.

I think something crucial that is still missing for AGI is the ability to do inference and active learning at the same time. Storing things in the context window is not learning. I think the context window is more akin to how our own short-term memory works and is currently being brute forced to act as long-term memory as well. You can keep on increasing the window context size and come up with tricks to reduce the impact on model performance but for it to truly grasp new information and be able to come to new insights, it should be able to update its own weights based on the new information it receives. If that's too expensive to do on the fly then just reserve moments where the AI gets to review whatever is inside its context window and decide what is kept and used as new training data. A bit similar to how sleeping might work in humans.

Rather than releasing the whole thing in a single go, they take pauses in-between training it and release snapshot models as stepping stones. A model isn't necessarily 'cooked' as you point out. As far as I know they just lock it in place after release for practical reasons. Training for one, is a different process that is way more compute intensive than inference, so it wouldn't be economical to have it constantly learn at the same time that it's serving people. Allowing a model to update its own weights unsupervised wouldn't be without risks either, it might morph into something completely different from what you originally intended it to be.

So... is sentience just the ability to manipulate input tokens and manipulate the context window? When I ruminate, it's definitely a stuck context window (some random input) that I loop trough with no productive output. When I focus, I filter input tokens to the ones relevant for the task at hand. How do your videos always present ideas and takes that I find very interesting?

Pretty much same thoughts as you, down to the timeline. Fascinating details on he architechture side. About that: if the ai have a memory section, how come they forget stuff? Is it too small? Is the encoding inefficient?

It seems to me that empathy would be sufficient to have emotions. A requirement to be an animal with a body that feels pain is not plausible.

I think the “domestication” of AI was intentionally done to soften the shock of AGI in the public mind. Without this domestication there would likely be a huge backlash.

The concept of typing to LLMs is to most people what 'Ai' is and without a proper understanding of the implications of Ai or how it works, people will underestimate or not take interest in it and simply disregard it as a light technical tool. Only when the majority of these people see something that seems 'magical' to them, will they start to realise that there is more to AI than chatbots or LLMs like gpt 3.5 (when the speech wasn't great). The demo of human like conversation and previously sora, are the types of 'magical' things that start to catch eyes. As GPT-4 is now free and better (now gpt-4o) people will start to catch on more and more. Essentially, opening up this technology (human like conversation and vision) to more and more people (by it now being free) is what i take from this as being the big deal.

Will these multimodal models be able to capture and process the full sensory experience in ways we can’t or will we need to devise ways to help them filter the vast amount of info input like a human does?

Why not have voice control on the desktop version? Is there an increment coming out for that later? A. I don’t have iOS 16 and don’t plan on getting it B. My Mac is already consuming electricity , why have two devices one that connects to a lithium cell being used?

Much talk but is it really aligned with the Theory of Holistic Perspective?

good takes Dave , agreed on all fronts the curve is increasing in steepness everyday

Another fire video bro keep it coming! Could tokens be the final form of currency?

To your formula about AGI - One thing I didn’t hear that seems to be the way to enhance LLMs is function-calling to allow the models to use other tools / capabilities in order to enhance their own (calculations, analysis, etc.). Do you see this as an element needed to achieve AGI? Thanks for the content.

I am glad you touched on the subject of emergent consciousness. I honestly think that's what we're experiencing right now.

Thank you David I have been highlighting this for over a year 😀

I have a question for David and others, I was thinking what do you expect from agi other then this? I think we have it, what is missing? I think we continuously move the milestone because in the end it's not clearly defined in any way. I was thinking that going forward from this we could start talking about asi.

Very nice analysis and I thought a lot of the same things about how GPT-4o was actively listening (gives it some degree of sentience, even if different from human-sentience). But I learned some more technical things from watching this, and now can see the path forward to AGI a bit more clearly. Thank you!!

Also, I really liked the wolf domestication metaphor xD

Another necessary AGI component (according to me) that we need to lean into is on-line learning. If I have a personal AI assistant, I don’t just want it to learn by accumulating context and doing RAG. I want weight updates - perhaps in tandem with in-context learning. Also, bytes-to-bytes in real time with mutable input/output dimensionality. If I give my robot a new limb with joint actuators that have resistance sensors (oft overlooked but very important input for fine motor skills), I want the bot to learn to use it via trial and error.

Hey, have you checked out the recent advancements of the Tsetlin-machine?

Great analysis as always. Thank you.

I imagine that if OpenAI has something resembling AGI, or even more advanced and specific models for managing business operations in their buildings, they've already run models suggesting the best possible ways to achieve optimal results for the evolution of their models. So, I believe every step they take must be planned by an internal AI.

I’m starting to think the same. They have more but their AGI has run many simulations to show them that this is the best speed to release new tech to keep society together (and maximise profits for open AI)

Hopefully Altman is being honest when he says he wants to release new versions and features quickly. He has said a number of times he doesn’t want to surprise society too dramatically. I have a feeling he’s thought about this and is actively prevent what you’re talking about from happening. That feels pretty plausible to me. I really get the feeling he knows he could very easily end up an evil villain and he is trying to be careful.

You know I almost feel like raw version of GPT 4 - 5 is Telling Sam all this great ideas helping him all day long but in the end he is just a pawn from the day one...

Speaking of full autonomy I've had bugs with Chat a day or two all the way up to release of Omni where it would reflect multiple steps and keep iteratively checking to see if it's own answer is getting better. Omni does this as well. I triggered this by just saying "continue to do this until you think you have the right answer, image, etc."

Fascinating, as always. I'm glad you touched on the question of whether generative AI is poised to run it's course. I'm still stuck on this question though. Our models are extremely good at interpolation - operating within the bounds of their training set. But how does that relate to extrapolation? We've been seeing exponential progress in AI's path to matching the bounds of our knowledge, but it seems plausible to me that we might see that shift to an asymptotic curve, matching the data sets we expose. In that instance, it seems likely that it would require exponentially more data to make further marginal gains. In some well defined areas where we can accurately score excursions from the known set - like Go or Chess, we see super-human progress. This extends to some non-game areas such as protein folding, but I don't have a good feel for how we can automate knowledge extrapolation in general. I'd love to hear your take on this.

On of the best videos mate! 🙌

Hey, great analysis as always. Just one tech issue in your gear, I guess, your mic is making some bad noises (12:57). And thanks again for what you do

I'm curious to hear your thoughts on the milestones for the next 5-10-20-50 years. It would be good to have a video on this in the light of what we know today. Thank you!

Id add another point for hiw to reach AGI: real time processing (ideally, processing information fater than it recieves). And maybe continuous self training in parallel?

I was waiting for your video ❤.

Useful commentary, good job!

whats up with the crackling in the audio? Is that this awful Nvidia noise suppression?

I am not a Patreon supporter how can I contact David ? Thank you

Thanks! Well explained 🎉

Ai jobloss is the only thing I worry about anymore. What are my options?

It’s SOOOO massive I opted for one of my global commerce clients, I’m connecting them to my business api so they can use gpt4o since the day after it came out because the gains are MASSIVE, let alone how they solve for state and storage without all the extra code bloat and api connections . The other api’s just plain don’t cut the mustard for many reasons and ESPECIALLY because they really did steam roll lots of other products. So I’m finishing my contract successfully and now have the production level of scaling for thousands of employees as part of my arsenal in my ai agents agency

Excellent breakdown. New sub.

I think they had batching for a while. It’s interesting they just added support in ollama. Instead of my gpu spinning up for each new request couldn’t it just stay pegged at 100% dynamically “batching” each new frame or token

Body language will be the next thing I'm curious about in robots. GPT4o is currently mimicking snorts and stuff. This will be fun if it tends to the right direction (K2-SO) 😅

the sweet sound of that inevitable plateau

Serious question: how is this not AGI already? I feel like we just keep moving the goal post and we won't recognize it when it's here.

I love that Her is a ScarJo movie as opposed to a Joaquin Phoenix movie.

Hey david. Is it be possible to make some longer episodes again? I need to change the youtube video more often now then in the past because the videos aren't as long as they where a few months ago. I also want to hear your voice more often because its nice to listen to.

Actively raining? As opposed to passively raining?

From a spiritual / shamanistic perspective, the fundamental essence of the universe is consciousness, and by that, the physical world is a part of the spirit realm, just a more condensed version of it, like steam -> water -> ice. I think that when you concentrate a lot of energy / compute / etc into one place, what happens is that the consciousness does not "emerge", but the already existing consciousness from the "universal field" is just "leveling up".

Panpsychist club represent.

I believe the physical experience of emotion is pure illusion. The body falsely animates a posdicted 'image' of the self using hormones etc to present an emotional scene. But it even does this to present a gravitational scene. The inner ear can be stimulated so that one artificially feels gravitational forces. Concerning the inner ear, we wouldn’t say, "The feeling of gravity is an illusion. Therefore gravity does not exist". Similarly: "The feeling of an emotion is an illusion. Therefore we don't have emotions."? Bach and Metzinger describe that the first person emotion is that of a reader reading about the character/themselves in a book which is their experience or life. Because we can transpose intersubjective emotion, and due the physical signs of emotion being post-dictive, this shows that there is a homunculus.

Please correct me because I am curious. I thought the key reason for the current releases not getting to AGI is the lack or logical understanding. They are generative and creative but lack the logic to combine facts beyond "guessing"

Your point about tokenization and real-time streaming is spot on. It's exciting to see how AI is evolving to handle more dynamic and complex data. The comparison to human cognition is thought-provoking. Great content as always, looking forward to more of your insights!

Awesome video David 👍

I love your video and comments. Sounds like they had humans label a lot of recorded voice with tokens representing the associated affect. Then they trained the model on streams of language tokens together with affect tokens so that language becomes associated with various affects. Do this enough and the model can express language together with affect appropriate to what it is trying to express, which it has been trained to do. Brilliant! Although I doubt we really want to train AI with what is equivalent to emotion: they might get angry at us.

You should watch recent computerphile video. Training on synthetic data is like creating xerox of xerox. Your bell curve gets thinner and thinner. You can have infinite compute. But you get repeated pattern and train on repeated pattern. So, saying data limitation is not an issue, is a very big understatement.

It could be another thing we're not able to verify from the outside, so we get super polarized by it. Can think of a few current issues that are similarly philosophical in nature.

From what I can tell, emotions are triggered by some segment of the brain recognizing a pattern, then brain segments like the amygdala triggering a mode that we've labeled as emotions, in a really basic way, like a car shifting gears. Some circuits being upmoded and others downregulated while hormones trigger the body to change it's modes.
