This video makes so much GOOD sense. Our galaxy holds hundreds of billions of stars, and in more than sixty years of listening we have never heard from anyone. In 1965, a codebreaker who worked alongside Alan Turing predicted a machine that would be “the last invention” humanity would ever need. Sixty years later, the world’s biggest companies are trying to build it, and some scientists now ask whether every civilization builds one… and whether that is why the sky is so quiet.
This is the story of the transformer, the scaling laws, the race to AGI, the researchers who disagree about all of it, and the Fermi paradox.
