Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt made some interesting remarks during a question session at Stanford University regarding the use of LLMs by entrepreneurs. Schmidt suggested that LLMs could be used to copy apps and content from apps, with lawyers available to 'clean things up' if needed.
During the question session, Schmidt also discussed the future of AI language models, highlighting the potential for larger context windows in the coming years. This advancement would enable AI language models to process more information and tackle more complex tasks. He emphasized the increasing importance of 'text-to-action,' where text prompts could be converted into executable commands, possibly through a programming language.
In a hypothetical scenario, Schmidt mentioned a possible ban of TikTok in the United States and suggested a strategy for entrepreneurs. He advised using LLMs to copy the app, gather users and music, customize it, and quickly launch it to potentially go viral.
While discussing intellectual property law, Schmidt predicted an increase in lawsuits and proposed a system where a percentage of sales would be allocated to original creators, similar to existing copyright agreements.
Schmidt also touched on the development of the Stargate supercomputer by OpenAI and Microsoft, mentioning cost estimates and energy challenges. He recommended closer ties with Canada for securing the necessary energy supply for AI supercomputers.
Following the question session, recordings of Schmidt's remarks were reportedly deleted from certain sources, but can still be found on social media platforms.
