  9. Ilya Sutskever: The thing which I think is the most fundamental is that these models somehow just generalize dramatically worse than people., Dwarkesh Podcast: We're moving from the age of scaling to the age of research (Quotes)
  10. Ilya Sutskever: So it’s back to the age of research again, just with big computers., Dwarkesh Podcast: We're moving from the age of scaling to the age of research (Quotes)
  11. Ilya Sutskever: So for research, you definitely need some amount of compute, but it’s far from obvious that you need the absolutely largest amount of comput, Dwarkesh Podcast: We're moving from the age of scaling to the age of research (Quotes)
  12. Ilya Sutskever: One consequence of the age of scaling is that scaling sucked out all the air in the room. Because scaling sucked out all the air in the room, Dwarkesh Podcast: We're moving from the age of scaling to the age of research (Quotes)
  13. Ilya Sutskever: Number three, I think it would be really materially helpful if the power of the most powerful superintelligence was somehow capped because i, Dwarkesh Podcast: We're moving from the age of scaling to the age of research (Quotes)
  14. Ilya Sutskever: If you think about the term “AGI”, especially in the context of pre-training, you will realize that a human being is not an AGI., Dwarkesh Podcast: We're moving from the age of scaling to the age of research (Quotes)
  15. Ilya Sutskever: I think that’s been guiding me a fair bit, thinking from multiple angles and looking for almost beauty, beauty and simplicity., Dwarkesh Podcast: We're moving from the age of scaling to the age of research (Quotes)
  16. Ilya Sutskever: But now that compute is big, compute is now very big, in some sense we are back to the age of research., Dwarkesh Podcast: We're moving from the age of scaling to the age of research (Quotes)
  17. Ilya Sutskever: All the pre-trained models are pretty much the same because they pre-train on the same data., Dwarkesh Podcast: We're moving from the age of scaling to the age of research (Quotes)
