The accelerating timeline for achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI) has sparked discussions, with some predicting it could be achieved as early as 2027. Despite this urgency, top AI labs are not prioritizing AI safety due to competition and the desire to bring new models to market quickly. The geopolitical implications of AGI are also highlighted, with the US government aiming to obtain AGI before rivals like China. An international treaty on AI safety is deemed unlikely due to lack of trust between major powers. Recent developments in the AI industry, such as venture capital enthusiasm for startups and new models by OpenAI, are noted. The importance of embracing AI-driven models for businesses is emphasized, with Nvidia announcing a major deal to produce $500 billion worth of AI infrastructure in the US.

The FTC has sued Meta, claiming that the acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp were anti-competitive tactics. If Meta loses, they may be forced to divest the two apps. This case has far-reaching implications for the tech industry as a whole, as it questions the current structure of big tech acquiring startups. If Meta loses, it could impact the entire ecosystem, affecting startups' ability to exit to tech giants. Zuckerberg's testimony is crucial not just for Meta but for the future of big tech M&A. The outcome of this trial could potentially freeze big tech deal-making and impact liquidity for VCs and their investors. The case also raises questions about the monopolistic market concentration that has developed over time in the tech industry. Zuckerberg's testimony will play a significant role in shaping the future of tech acquisitions and the industry as a whole.Shifting focus to various other tech-related topics discussed in recent news, an interview with Palantir's CEO, Alex Karp, emphasizes the importance of business performance over convincing people in Silicon Valley. It also covers Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg's defense in a lawsuit filed by the FTC, Nvidia's plan to invest $500 billion in U.S. AI infrastructure, and Hugging Face's acquisition of robotics startup Pollen Robotics.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedGood morning from OWITH.ai: the podcast that gives you only what's important to hear in AI and tech world. Today, we delve into the impacts of past economic downturns on automation, with a focus on how businesses turn to technology to cut costs. Research suggests that previous recessions have actually accelerated automation and digital technology adoption, leading to jobless recoveries as businesses adopt new technologies such as automation and computer technologies. Despite concerns about the current global recession triggered by tariffs, there is reason to believe that a tariff-induced recession could benefit AI adoption in the U.S. as businesses seek to increase efficiency.Shifting gears, we explore a report titled "AI 2027" that predicts the impact of superhuman AI between 2025 and 2027. While the report is praised for its depth and concreteness, biases towards American perspectives and challenges in predicting immediate revolutions due to barriers are noted. Despite these setbacks, AI continues to advance and shape society and the economy.Moving on, we discuss how a tariff-induced downturn may impact the venture capital industry. Historically, funding to VC firms has decreased significantly during economic downturns, with limited partners facing challenges such as lack of expected distributions. The recent implementation of tariffs could further impact the industry, causing companies to put IPO plans on hold and investors to consider alternative asset classes. The future of the VC sector remains uncertain amidst potential challenges like sustained bear markets or recessions.In other news, the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered AI released its annual AI Index report showing an increase in global AI usage and investment.

1 Unpacking the AI and Tech World: From Scaling to Semiconductors and Tariffs 3:18
3:18 Play Later Play Later Lists Like Liked3:18
Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedGood morning from OWITH.ai: the podcast that gives you only what's important to hear in AI and tech world.The current state of scaling in AI, limitations of large language models (LLMs) in reasoning, and the potential deflation of the AI bubble have been discussed. New evidence confirms that scaling with model and data size is no longer effective, and LLMs struggle with mathematical reasoning. The financial performance of generative AI companies like Nvidia and Meta may indicate a bubble bursting. There are also mentions of Sam Altman's firing from OpenAI and his untrustworthiness, as well as criticisms of the reliance on unreliable LLMs in decision-making. The author, Gary Marcus, maintains that his predictions for 2025 are on track and argues for the development of more reliable AI approaches.Transitioning to the semiconductor industry news, TSMC and Intel are reportedly in talks for a potential historic deal where TSMC would mass produce chips in the U.S. with Intel, involving a significant investment of $165 billion. This partnership has geopolitical and national security implications, as well as implications for the semiconductor industry and trade relations with China. The White House and the U.S. Department of Commerce are pushing for this partnership to bolster Intel's foundry business, but concerns have been raised about potential national security risks. The deal reflects America's urgency to avoid a semiconductor crisis and stabilize its chipmaking capabilities.Moving on to the discussion about critical thinking in AI, an April Fool's joke made by the author, Gary Marcus, about having a sneak preview of GPT-5, a generative AI, was highlighted. Despite the joke being obvious to some, others believed it to be real, emphasizing the issue of AI's inability to critically analyze information. This lack of critical thinking in AI is contrasted with humans' ability to distinguish between reality and fiction.Shifting gears to the impact of tariffs on the venture capital industry, particularly on hardware and semiconductor companies, recent tariffs imposed by President Trump could increase costs for hardware companies, affecting cloud-based services like AI and potentially slowing down innovation. Despite concerns, some venture capitalists see potential opportunities for businesses to become globally competitive and consumers to find bargains.Discussing global tech stocks experiencing a significant decline due to sweeping U.S. import tariffs causing the worst market slide since 2020.
