Just listened to the talk and I’m confused about what people think Dario said. The only mention I noticed of RSI at the end was when the moderator said: “Last question. What will have changed in a year.”
Dario said, paraphrasing, that the most important thing to watch this year is AIs building AIs, which could lead to wonders or a great emergency in front of us if it turns out that works and causes a meaningful speedup.
Is that what you’re talking about? I’m pretty sure I agree that this is one of the most important things to pay attention to in the next year.
Over the interview, it’s clear that Dario’s stated timelines are significantly more confidently short than Demis’s; e.g. see here https://youtu.be/02YLwsCKUww?t=1030
it’s clear that Dario’s stated reason for NOT slowing down HIS research, seemingly refering to the short-timelines research, i.e. the RSI research, is something about China.
Did you mean to ask me, rather than someone else in this thread? (I had a quick look at the new essay but haven’t read it in full yet; what I did see didn’t seem very surprising, so I don’t really feel better or worse at this stage. Happy to say more once I’ve read it properly, but I think you might have meant to ask someone else, as I wasn’t really taking a position in this thread—just pointing out a relevant section of the talk that I thought you might have missed.)

Would you please listen for 2 minutes to the beginning of the interview around the 1 minute mark, here:

Then, if you listen here for a couple minutes:

There’s a relevant section near the beginning, when the moderator asks him about his timeline: https://youtu.be/9Zz2KrBDXUo?si=9kHfNC_ec-2yTk8e&t=61
Does Dario’s new essay make you feel better, or worse?
