AI Leaps Forward: Robot Butlers & Nvidia's Super Brain Chip

Summary

In this episode, Dalton discusses the latest breakthroughs in AI, including Nvidia's Blackwell chip and the Figure01 robot. The Blackwell chip is a new architecture that can train a one trillion parameter AI, making it 30 times faster and 25% more energy-efficient. The Figure01 robot, developed by Figure AI in partnership with OpenAI, can communicate with humans and perform tasks instructed by them. Dalton also talks about DeepMind's general agent, which learns to play games in a virtual environment without a specific purpose. He raises ethical questions about the future of AI and its impact on society.
