Reid, Michael and I were undergrad classmates, and Sean is the new CEO of Inflection AI (friendly LLM) and co-founder of the Earth Species Project (using AI to understand animal communication).
Sean:
“For humanness, EQ is as important as IQ.”
With Alexa use, “kids stop saying please and thank you. If we make brutalist tools, we will have a brutalist society.”
Reid:
“I predict that within five years, we will all have multiple research assistants to amplify our thinking.”
“The biggest illusion is that humanity is stable. We evolve with our technology. We are already cyborgs with our phones.”
“Mustafa wants to do the scaling agent” and left Inflection to Microsoft
“When dolphins and whales hunt together, they use a third language.”
“Scaling compute alone is insufficient for consciousness. It is a delight that there will always be more mysteries. No one really knows why the LLMs behave like they do.”
Michael:
“Newtonian physics is not wrong. It got us to the moon. But it’s incomplete. Can Brain Mind exploration show us what’s incomplete in our understanding of ourselves.”
