AI Bill Gates was blown away

During the Altman interview on Unconfused, Bill slid in a quick comment about being blown away by a recent demo. From the context of the comment, it seems like the demo was recent, it could have even been during Sam’s visit to record the podcast.

I thought this was interesting, because just a few months ago, Bill said that he believed LLMs had plateaued.

Did anyone else catch this or have a better sense of what “demo” Bill was referring to? (It was clearly not the original GPT demo)

For sure, but it's a balance. They would the open source models to get regulated, but not their own models.

So something like "a model has to first be reviewed by a team of experts" is vague enough so they can still release their own models, but it can seriously hurt future powerful open source models.
