Kevin Roose is AGI-pilled. Why aren’t you?
TL;DR
Today, I’m talking to Kevin Roose, journalist and author of the new book The AGI Chronicles, which details the recent and explosive transformation of the AI industry. Kevin was a longtime New York Times reporter and host of the popular podcast Hard Fork, but he and friend of the show Casey Newton just left the Times to start the all-new tech podcast Machine Gods, which launched last week.
Nauti's Take
The episode is most useful as a lens on the thinking behind the AGI race. Before turning its predictions into a team roadmap, test one concrete assumption: which task should become measurably better with more capable AI within six months, and what evidence would convince you?
