> Noam Shazeer said on a Dwarkesh podcast that he stopped cleaning his garage, because a robot will be able to do it very soon.
We all come up with excuses for why we haven't done a chore, but some of us need to sound a bit more plausible to other members of the household than that.
It would get about the same reaction as "I'm not going to wash the dishes tonight, the rapture is tomorrow."
I want to make it very clear that this was a lighthearted response from Noam to the "AGI timeline" question.
Noam does not do a lot of interviews, and I really hope that stuff like my dumb comment does not prevent him from doing more in the future. We could all learn a lot from him. I am not sure that everyone understands everything that this man has given us.
