单集文稿 ...

  • Today, this is going to be an Ask Me Anything episode.

  • I'm joined with my friends Trenton Brickin and Shilter Douglas.

  • You guys do some AI stuff, all right?

  • A double.

  • They're researchers at Anthropic.

  • Other news, I have a book launching today.

  • It's called A Scaling Era.

  • I hope one of the questions ends up being why you should buy this book.

  • But we can come two birds with one stone, but okay, let's just get at it.

  • What's the first question that we got to answer?

  • So I want to ask the fly ball question that I heard before of why should ordinary people care about this book?

  • Like, like, why should my mom buy and read the book?

  • Yeah.

  • First, let me tell you about the book, what it is.

  • So, you know, these last few years, I've been interviewing AI lab CEOs, researchers,

  • people like you guys, obviously,

  • but also scholars from all kinds of different fields, economists, philosophers and.

  • They've been addressing, I think, what are basically the gnarliest,

  • most interesting, most important questions we've ever had to ask ourselves.

  • Like, what is the fundamental nature of intelligence?
