Part 5/11:
Diving deeper into the technological landscape, the speaker traces AI's evolution back to Nvidia's GPU revolution in 2012, which enabled deep learning breakthroughs like recognizing images at human-like accuracy. They argue that current developments—such as OpenAI's recent launches of custom GPT models and rapid advancements in Nvidia's chip capabilities—are part of an ongoing, decades-long arms race among tech giants. This race is driven by the quest to develop artificial general intelligence (AGI), which could democratize or vastly disrupt human labor and societal structures.
