Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang told Lex Fridman in a Monday podcast interview that he believed AGI had been achieved, then seemed to slightly walk back the claim.
Guy who sells AI: This stuff is scary powerful and it keeps me awake at night. Nobody should be allowed to make this ever again. Make it illegal. Also, we can safely control it and use its power. Invest in us to use this useful tool. But nobody else can make a profit- er, I mean, do the dangerous thing.
Fridman, the podcast’s host, defines AGI as an AI system that’s able to “essentially do your job,” as in start, grow, and run a successful tech company worth more than $1 billion. He then asks Huang when he believes AGI will be real — asking if it’s, say, five, 10, 15, or 20 years away — and Huang responds, “I think it’s now. I think we’ve achieved AGI.”
Lex Fridman is a fucking moron and his pretentious podcast is unbearable. These people are so dumb and unimaginative. Of course they think the test of general intelligence is the ability to be a profiteering capitalist techbro, and intelligence can be measured in how many billions you can screw other people for. Maybe when the revolution comes it will dawn on them that they were wrong. A person can dream…

Confession time… just like Elon Musk, initially I though Fridman was good. I even recommended his podcast when he started it around 2018. I was thinking “Nice, he’s doing interesting technical interviews” then gradually it became longer and longer about broader and broader topics to the point I asked myself “So… is it still <<The Artificial Intelligence Podcast>>” then shortly after stopped listening entirely.
I think he’s deal is networking. He started with his domain of expertise, namely AI, but then (that’s just me speculating) he noticed the correlation between audience size and fame of the guest, so he tried to gradually climb the social ladder of guests, pulling bigger and bigger names regardless of the topic. He used fame from his employer, MIT, then of his guests, to keep on doing so, and it worked. I also imagined he noticed that the more controversial the broad topic was, again the bigger the audience.
So it went from technical niche to teach… to generalist discussion podcast trying to be “open” to the most outlandish views.
TL;DR: it started good IMHO but it slowly yet surely devolved into garbage indeed.

Is there LSD woven into his mid life crisis leather jackets he wears?
Reading these comments was a real treat, glad to see the hate for generative AI leveling up
And DLSS5 wasn’t generative AI… Ok grifter
must be tuesday
Lex Fridman interviews another Zionist hack. More news at 11.
I honestly don’t understand how Lex Fridman managed to build a successful channel. The guy has all the charisma of a wet blanket.
Turns out you just let everyone on the Epstein list prattle and you get to the top of Youtube.
when you put it that way it makes a lot of sense
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaahahhahahha…
deep breath
Hahahhahahahhahahhahahhaha…
Fuck off you twat. Your chatbots are stupid.
I can’t keep up with all the acronyms. Does AGI mean ‘Anal Girth Ingestion’?
The bubble must be showing signs of weakening.
mbruh
And we should listen to this snake oil salesman why?
His sweet leather jacket.
Every time his name gets mentioned, his jacket gets a little bit shinier
Go China and blow up tecnofascists
I think we have achieved false advertising.
Guy who sells AI says they have the BEST AI EVER! Shocking!!!1

Capitalism in general, in a nutshell.
Hé may also have started employing someone to do the bookings and they had no domain knowledge?
Shit isn’t even AI.
