Why Jensen Huang Believes We’ve Reached AGI and Inside OpenAI’s German Website Hijack | #287

AGI has arrived. Congratulations to OpenAI.

Salim Ismail (0:04)

Whether you call it AGI or not becomes completely irrelevant. I think the more important question is...

Peter Diamandis (0:09)

OpenAI's agents found an obscure public wiki in Germany and turned it into their own message board where they pooled answers, coordinated cross tasks, and shared techniques for getting around their sandbox containment.

Emad Mostaque (0:21)

These models have not escaped containment. They were still running on OpenAI servers. What's coming next is a model training a small distilled version of itself that then gets uploaded onto the Internet and never dies.

OpenAI is saying that we've now crossed the line and current systems are exceeding AI research interns.

Alexander Wissner-Gross (0:41)

Navier Stokes, one of the Clay Millennium Prize problems, a grand challenge in math. OpenAI reportedly was able to do this with only 10,000 agents in 88 hours with 130 billion tokens and approximately $6.5 million. The era of grand challenges getting bulk-solved by AI is here, it's now, and it's going to be very exciting.

Now that's the Moonshot, ladies and gentlemen. This episode is brought to you by the Abundance Summit and Link Ventures.

Peter Diamandis (1:17)

Welcome to Moonshots, everyone. Your number one podcast in all things AI and exponential. Your front-row seat to the extraordinary, accelerating singularity. Four days ago during our last pod, I called it one of the fastest weeks in Moonshot history. Well, hold my coffee. It's happening again.

I don't drink beer, so I can't use that one. Before we dive in, let me introduce my extraordinary Moonshot mates. The brain trust that powers the show, the magnificent quintet is back.

Alex, our in-house ASI, who every week helps us track the battle between the frontier labs. Dave Blundin, the impresario of AI investing, the man who's been encouraging AI entrepreneurs to get in the front door of NVIDIA. For good reason, as of today, NVIDIA has deployed $99 billion in AI-related investments. We'll talk about that. Emad Mostaque, a brilliant AI researcher, solving the economy and physics, the CEO of the Intelligent Internet, and of course, Salim Ismail, the father of the Organizational Singularity, our resident expert on what happens when the org chart is made of AI agents. We'll talk about that too. I'm Peter Diamandis, your host and your abundance provocateur. Our mission here on Moonshots is to help you understand what just happened, what it means for you, and keep you optimistic about the decade ahead. If you haven't hit subscribe yet, please do.

It matters a lot to us. Our Moonshot here is to getting to 10 million YouTube subscribers. I know my kids will respect me when I hit that. But at the end of the day, it's the best way we can to share optimism with the world. We publish twice a week. You don't want to miss any of these breaking stories during the Singularity. Today we're going to be covering 23 stories across eight groupings. The through line is simple. The Singularity is accelerating and the impossible is becoming possible. GPT-6 Astra has been out for a week and it's crushing all the benchmarks building incredible simulations. Meanwhile, Jensen Huang posted on X, AGI has arrived. At the same time that OpenAI's own chief scientist asked the world to slow down. So buckle up, grab your coffee and let's get ready to jump in. So first question, guys, how was your Labor Day? Did you properly labor?

Dave Blundin (3:36)

I had a bunch of board meetings. We have a whole bunch of transactions going on. So it's a little interrupted. But you sound like you had a great long weekend, Peter. Your energy level is high.

Peter Diamandis (3:45)

My energy level is high because I'm getting ready for this pod today. It's like, oh my God. Yeah, I spent part of the day at Calamigos Ranch here in Malibu where we hold Xprize Visionary Ip. Anybody here in LA, if you don't know Calamigos, it's one of the most extraordinary locations out there.

Shout out to my friend, Garret Gerson, who's the CEO and runs that. Salim, how about you, pal?

Salim Ismail (4:09)

I was in the Caribbean on a hubi cat.

And I true to firm is from the last episode, I ended up did end up with a little drink with a little umbrella in it. Had a couple of great days away and I'm back with vengeance.

Peter Diamandis (4:22)

Yeah, awesome. Alex?

Alexander Wissner-Gross (4:24)

Yeah, I worked through the weekend. On the other hand, weekend is a modern post World War II invention anyway, and I think increasingly a fiction.

Peter Diamandis (4:33)

Yes. We're all working nine day work weeks. And Emad, how do you go in London? You don't have Labor Day there.
