The speaker argues that while AI excels at automation, it currently struggles with basic, real-world tasks, necessitating the development of ‘agents’ to bridge this gap for the foreseeable future.”, “themes”=>[“The timeline and impact of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)”, “Limitations of current AI models”, “The role of ‘agents’ in bridging the AI capability gap”, “The future of human labor in an increasingly automated economy”, “The iterative process of AI model improvement”]}]

💬 Key Insights
"And we need agents for everything."
"For everything that the models can't do, like imagine in 10 years when we want models to be able to go out and build a startup for 30 days. We need agents for that."
"Our perspective is that these models are extraordinary in automating a lot of things very quickly, but there's a lot of things that they're horrible at."
"The key question is how long there's going to be things in the economy that humans can do that AI can't do."
"That road to improving models will last for as long as there's anything in the economy that humans can do which models can't and be a huge portion of what the future looks like."
"It can't schedule time on my calendar. It can't draft emails for me. It can't use basic tools."
