TRANSCRIPT: EZRA KLEIN INTERVIEWS DARIO AMODEI (3 HOUR READ)

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Exponential growth can get out of control really quickly. The scaling law hypothesis says that AI systems are on a growth curve where their capabilities will continually grow exponentially as long as we keep feeding in more data and computing power. This interview with Dario Amodei, who led the team at OpenAI that created GPT-2 and GPT-3 before leaving OpenAI to co-found Anthropic where he is now CEO, discusses growth in AI, how AI is being adopted by society, the amount of energy the technology consumes and how to mitigate its effects on the planet, and much more.
