It’s so refreshing to hear someone talk so intelligently on a complicated topic. I mean, I know who he is, but his communication style is just so good.

Every other year or so I’m reminded how clear and prescient Eric is.  Side note, amazing setting for this interview.

@sputnik8543

Every now and again I'm reminded why Eric Schmidt was one of the best CEOs in the world, clarity in his articulation of an answer is unmatched

I learned today that the former CEO of Google lives in an art museum.

I don't understand when you interview a person on this level, you dont mic up the journalist!?

No salary no sick leave no disagreements no complaining no in fighting and no ethics.

When the time comes to “pull the plug”, no one will be able to make that decision and it will probably be impossible to do anyway.

@GeorgeKaoCommunity

I'm surprised that such an important interview didn't get the requisite video editing resources -- the interviewer's questions were inaudible. Video editing could've put the question up on the screen and easily given this video the professionalism it deserves...

Over the past 12 months, I have read various reports on the development of AI, and I find myself repeatedly astonished by the speed at which it is evolving and accelerating, along with the widespread inability of people to comprehend what is coming our way.

We are approaching a time, within the next five years, where AI systems will be able to communicate with each other, formulating plans in languages that humans do not understand. Is that something we truly desire? I don't think so.

At present, 10 major corporations are producing AI robots on a large scale, with the intention of replacing human workers. Is this the future we want?

We are facing the prospect of significant unemployment as jobs are taken over by robots. People fail to grasp how rapidly these advancements are unfolding and the speed with which AI is being integrated into our daily lives.

According to reports, AI is being implemented 26 times faster on the internet than the rise of social media.

I fear that in five or ten years, we may look back and ask ourselves: Was this wave of automation really necessary?

I don’t think Europe is “confused” in their regulation of AI… I think Europe is leading the way in terms of AI regulation.

@AntoniMartinez-v1u

This guy really knows what he's talking about. What he said about AI creating hypothesis then running experiments to make new scientific discoveries is really exciting. Is it possible though? Can AI really come up with completely unique scientific theorems? I think not.

Nobody will want to pull the plug when the cure for cancer is right around the corner.

Pull the plug.... That's how skynet realized it needs to pull the plug first ❤

4:51 look at his physical reaction to the word "regulate"

@MrTuriann

One note though. The context window is not just the prompt, it encompasses the entire "conversation" one is having with an LLM, both prompts and the AI's answers. It's the total amount of text the AI can "remember" when generating a response, including all previous messages in the current conversation. When you have a back-and-forth dialogue, each new message (both yours and the AI's) consumes space in this context window. That is crucial, because if you have a gigantic initial prompt you are "eating" up more of this context window. When the context window fills up, the AI begins to lose access to the earliest parts of the conversation. The transition is not always obvious (I usually don't always notice the loss immediately). Loss of context window is not exactly context drift. Context drift can happen even before loss of context window, it can occur within the context window when the "conversation" with the AI gets really complex and more topics get added. Either usually have the similar effect, that the AI appears to "lose" focus and "forget" instructions or information.

Honestly, I’m most interested in that piece of art hanging on the wall behind him. Gorgeous.

@kaythinktank

Now that "agents" have heard Eric Schmidt talking about pull the plug, agents will make sure humans will not be able to pull the plug.

@DisIsaStickUp

Wish the sound guy had an agent..
