Zvi MowshowitzHOST
But if someone who thinks this is a can't happen wants to offer odds that properly reflect that attitude, then yes, I would bet.
Alastair CookeHOST

Alastair CookeHOST
With cybercriminal groups like Cyber Cartel weaponizing accessible non-frontier models against critical systems, Gary Marcus warns that regulatory fixation on speculative future supermodels leaves existing financial infrastructure wide open to an immediate wave of automated attacks.
Alastair CookeHOST

MarcusHOST
Think about that.
MarcusHOST
The thing can't be fully insured against.
MarcusHOST
Now, Gary Marcus, AI critic, is already flagging what's missing.
MarcusHOST
no Q3 numbers, calls the timing evasive.

We don't even know what all the human diseases are.

And Gary Marcus at NYU makes the argument that I think is unanswerable.
Connor MacIvorHOST
You cannot compress a clinical trial.
Connor MacIvorHOST
You cannot, you can find the target in a month.
Jeffrey FunkGUEST
You know, he thinks that these pronouncements have meaning when they don't.
Jeffrey FunkGUEST
And Gary Marcus has shown me his messages to Tyler saying that, you know, I'd like to go on, I'd like to debate you.
Jeffrey FunkGUEST
Tyler Cohen said, no way, I don't want to debate you.
Jeffrey FunkGUEST
You're just a troll.
Justin ColleryHOST

Frank PrendergastHOST
and your your old friend gary marcus also oh yeah because i i i was kind of i was looking into this i was like could this be a more cynical move here and i typed in my theory that maybe they were just trying to get um goodwill, public goodwill ahead of their IPO.
Frank PrendergastHOST
And when I when I put my theory in, it was like, well, that's what Gary Marcus thinks.

Justin ColleryHOST
Then you know it's wrong, I would say.
Jonathan DenwoodHOST
And then the sixth thing, it's totally useless.

Jonathan DenwoodHOST

Dan NathanHOST
But away from just, I guess, the corporate aspect of it, think about this.
Dan NathanHOST
So a few weeks ago, you probably read them on the Substack or Twitter, a guy named Gary Marcus, who's an infamous sort of AI skeptic, not about the technology, about a lot of the things that we've been talking about.
Dan NathanHOST
I guess we talked a little bit about P doom, right? This was a thing the last few months, people were talking about the percentage of just the doomsday scenario, that sort of thing.
Dan NathanHOST
Seems kind of silly, right? And I'm sure you're sitting over there.
