In their words

The transcript segments this claim was taken from

“and then okay, I can do optimization over this,”
“but now I need to make my model very small or like have a specific form because”
“Because if it hasn't have this specific form, it doesn't fit into like a uh linear programme or whatever. And suddenly basically the the opinion starts to dim, the more you use it. And I have a feeling that the same thing is gonna be true for like the the world models. I think there's going to be a lot of like really really easy things like the low-hanging fruit which would are just going to be like grasped, and it might be that for many tasks this low-hanging fruit actually is already enough.”
