I think the researchers would get really angry at me if they heard the last 5 minutes of this. Good thing they won't!
Description: Max talks about Alphabet's DeepMind launch of Gato AI - a large scale transformer model. Some of the researchers believe that they are on the path to human level intelligence while others disagree.
Aaron ( @OldWindways ) stopped by yesterday and we talked about the private space initiatives of Branson (Virgin Galactic), Bezos, and Musk.

Starting today, all your paid subscriptions will be moved over to substack!
I'm still a huge fan of the locals platform, but with my small audience, and desire to publish podcasts and articles directly, substack is a better fit for The Local Maximum right now.
The substack is at localmaximum.substack.com - you should be getting some emails for the latest episodes. Always feel free to reach out at [email protected]
Folks - I know we've been on hiatus for the last few weeks, but I'm looking forward to getting back into the Local Maximum, and also supporting our move over to substack! I hope to reach out to you individually as well!
Happy holidays everyone!
Let's disrupt our festivities with some thought-provoking insights into our future.
In this week's episode, Max and Aaron finished their discussion on "The Fourth Turning is Here" and talk about what may be in store for the rest of the Fourth Turning Crisis and what the next several decades might look like as a result.
Make sure to tune in as you welcome the new year!
