Interesting back and forth. Ezra describes the HF incident, Jensen says "well they shouldn't release the product." Ezra says "this product wasn't released," and Jensen's response is that if they say they can't contain their experiments then "we have to shut the labs down"

Tomorrow on the show: @JensenHuang, the CEO of NVIDIA, who thinks A.I. fear is getting way out of hand.

Unfortunate that this great exchange isn't likely to change Jensen's other public comments. He's claiming we can use product liability to cover lab leaks, which doesn't make sense. And he owns HF but isn't suing or pressing charges.
He shouldn’t give that premise any airtime. The Hugging Face incident happened because OpenAI reduced cyber safeguards, put the model in a leaky sandbox and gave it a poorly specified goal. It was entirely preventable. Ergo, they are liable.

Not at all correct. He is saying doomerism is poisoning the discourse, that OAI and anthropic need to be able to test their models and products before release, that independent audits and oversight is a good thing and that media is essentially sensationalizing things like the HF
He's completely right. and it's the most obvious and reasonable thing to say. The thing you're making is unreasonably dangerous? fix it. you don't know how to fix it? OK, stop doing it! Literally the most obvious thing ever. "But AI is different" doesn't matter it's all still
have only previously ever heard Ezra Klein, not watched him, but goddman he's got great face control. it's worth pulling up the video to see him say "these products weren't released"

Ezra absolutely destroyed him. Side note but, it's a bit unfair Ezra kept saying "let me finish", and then interrupting back. You can have it one way or the other but not both
This is one of those things where it sounds good to say "If things get really dangerous, we have to act", but ends up being "I haven't acted yet, so it's not actually really dangerous yet"
If anybody wants to get a clear understanding of who’s right in this debate when just days ago Jensen was go baby go, it’s this exchange, where he concedes easily when faced with the facts that he should know. Klein was probably hoping this interview would be a counter weight to
Oh I see, so he is supporting a full shutdown now. Because it would seem no labs have gotten it under control. Only those that we found out and those that we haven’t.
This discussion misses the obvious point that human beings and organisations make mistakes. And they especially make mistakes dealing with things that are new.
It didn’t reinforce the doomer narrative. Read what it says. He’s saying if these individual companies cannot stand by their safety protocols and standards, then those companies need to cease what they are doing, inferring they aren’t good enough doing what they are doing. “We”,
No clue why people keep interviewing this guy. He has no idea what's going on! He's the CEO of a gaming company that accidentally became the bedrock of the global economy
I don't think you understand what Jensen is saying here. It's almost like you are purposely not understanding. He's mocking them for not believing what they say.
“Hey if it’s dangerous then just lock it up” “It was locked up” “Okay shut it all down”
Other than this slightly out of context quote, I thought Ezra let Jensen steamroll him. If I’m not mistaken, not once did he talk about Jensen’s Economic stake in the success of AI.
If ai can buy GPU themselves he will say it’s sentient in a blink of an eye, he’s a merchant the best in the world apparently
