Progress podcast episode 10 features Dileep George, co-founder of Vicarious and now head of AI research at the Astera Institute, discussing why no one has cracked the brain. Key topics: why today's AI is a "dirigible" rather than an airplane (right direction, possibly wrong principles), why scaling alone isn't enough, and whether rogue-AI doomsday stories are overhyped.
