Great interview. One thing I wonder about that they almost touched on but not quite is that LLMs know the world by way of text on the internet. Much of the internet DOES NOT adequately reflect global human consciousness and culture. How does this affect the birth and growth of AI. An actual intelligent being would quickly see and understand that history, culture, geography and other factors play a large role in the rise of the digital world, the groups that had a disproportionate role in creating and populating it.

While some groups of humans ignore this, an AI likely won't. What might that mean for us all?

This will change soon. Datasets are starting to include video (youtube, etc) and audio (radio, podcasts...)

One thing to think about is that the majority of content online is either content that people wanted to put online (a blog post, a youtube video of their kid, etc) or content that was recorded/published to note something notable (a youtube video of a person freaking out, security camera footage of a crime...)

What about mundanity? The 99.99% of human life that is unrecorded because it is boring and unremarkable. Surely there's data there, and not using it seems like it would poison the well.
