1:24 What could Aristotle have accomplished if he had a modern machine-learning system? Could he have discovered logic?
39:21 Didn't Noam Chomsky also do some work in the intersection between math/logic and language? I wondered if language models are based on that at all?
45:42 Will the next generation of ChatGPT or VoiceGPT have any negative recourse, especially when it comes to impersonation?
48:43 A similar Chomsky idea is "can a submarine swim?" In English it can't, and in Japanese it can.
49:42 Do you think AI presents an existential risk? If so, how could we mitigate it?
1:02:04 How do you think Einstein or even Stephen Hawking would react to ChatGPT? Are there any figures in science who predicted this development?
1:08:31 Given what we have learned from AI models, does learning from history allow us to better predict the future? Does modeling the past imply modeling the future?
1:19:20 Ants are structured distinctly enough and that can lead to immediate conclusions on many levels.
