Cat Wu: belief

Transcript context

…I love this answer. There's this question I've been asking people in your shoes, folks that are kind of at the bleeding edge of what AI is capable of and building with the latest tools, which is just like, where will human brains continue to be useful and necessary for a while until we get to superintelligence? What I'm hearing here is essentially picking the things to work on knowing where the market's going and figuring out what to prioritize, essentially. And then it's knowing if the thing you've built is good and right and getting it out there in some early version, at least. Does that sound right? Is there anything else of just like where human brains will continue to be useful for at least the next few months? I think humans still provide a level of common sense that the models don't. And there's like a thousand moving pieces to any product launch. Some of them are very small, but there's always a lot that could potentially go wrong. I think the model doesn't always have a great sense of who all the stakeholders are, how they relate to each other, what their preferences are, what are the right venues to communicate with them, to keep them on board. I think a lot of this like more tacit common sense, like EQ kind of knowledge is still very valuable. Of course, we want the models to get better at this, and I think they will be. But right now, I think there's still gaps. How do you just kind of deal as a human going through so much constant change, just like just being on the inside of the tornado? Maybe it's calm there, but just like how do you how do you stay on top of what's going on? How do you stay sane through all this craziness that we're moving through?…
