In their words
The transcript segments this claim was taken from
“hard problems in general is i think it becomes absolutely it's like almost uh you know a moral compunction to think harder before every single experiment that you fire off um i think uh as maybe baron millage on doakash recently who said you know um that perhaps you should think for 100 years you know before you fire off an experiment and then think for another 100 years of human equivalent with these models”
“about the results of that AI experiment because the experiment in the middle is pretty expensive and takes a certain amount of wall clock time and so I think you get there also with things like chip design where there are these kind of fundamental wall clock time bottlenecks for the more conventional algorithms we're going to be generating a lot of reasoning tokens before we go and place a given circuit.”Play from 27:26Report a misattribution
