| 0:00.0 | I was recently watching a video by Mo Gauda. |
| 0:03.0 | It was a keynote he was giving. |
| 0:04.4 | He's a former Google X executive. |
| 0:06.5 | And he was saying that AI is no longer just writing code. |
| 0:10.2 | It's actually correcting human math. |
| 0:12.2 | He gives us really incredible example where he says basically for the last 56 years, |
| 0:16.4 | he's been using the same matrix multiplication method for code. |
| 0:21.7 | And this is something that he said is like very standard. |
| 0:24.9 | People agree on this for a very long time. |
| 0:26.8 | And he said that recently he was, you know, talking to AI and telling it basically to improve |
| 0:34.5 | itself. |
| 0:35.1 | And he said when he told AI to improve itself, the AI realized that their |
| 0:39.0 | matrix multiplication method was flawed. And so instead of trying to go and optimize the software |
| 0:45.0 | that he had created that they had for AI, which is what he assumed it would do, instead, |
| 0:49.1 | it invented a completely new way of doing math. And he said to essentially optimize itself. And he said that |
| 0:55.7 | that new invention resulted in a 26% in performance boost and the removal of hundreds of |
| 1:02.2 | millions of dollars in cost and energy use for Google. So like this massive uptick in |
| 1:08.0 | basically optimization. This is a fascinating concept when I first saw that. |
| 1:13.8 | I was really fascinated by the fact that AI is kind of getting, |
| 1:17.0 | is definitely getting better at math, |
| 1:18.6 | but beyond just getting better at solving math or solving math, |
| 1:21.2 | the way that we might solve it, |
