Hassabis interview on Gemini 3, with Hard Fork (nyt podcast), also Josh Woodward https://youtu.be/rq-2i1blAlU?t=428 Some points -

Good at vibe coding 10:30 - step change where it's actually useful

AGI still 5-10 years. Needs reasoning, memory, world models.

Is it a bubble? - Partly 22:00

What's fun to do with Gemini to show the relatives? Suggested taking a selfie with the app and having it edit. 24:00 (I tried and said make me younger. Worked pretty well.)

Also interesting - apparently they are doing an agent to go through your email inbox and propose replies automatically 4:00. I could see that getting some use.



> Needs reasoning, memory, world models.

Is that all? So they just need to invent:

1. Thought

2. A mechanism for efficiently encoding and decoding arbitrary percepts

3. A formal model of the world

And then the existing large language models can handle the rest.

Yep, 5 years and a hundred billion dollars or so should do the trick.
