We might be witnessing the dawn of synthetic general intelligence. In this conversation I speak with David Shapiro who is an AI researcher and YouTube content creator.
We discuss the current state of the art LLMs, and the inevitable rise of autonomous AI given current global economic competition.
We cover the social implications in the near term and existential threats in the long term, as well as alignment and AI control.
