'AI Is Dumber Than Investors Think — ft. Gary Marcus'
Ed Elson is joined by Gary Marcus to discuss why he’s concerned about the fact that we’re all-in on AI.
They explore why he argues generative AI is inherently unreliable, whether the concerns surrounding Anthropic's Mythos model are justified, how policymakers should approach AI regulation, and the biggest misconception about the technology that he believes needs to be corrected.

@GaryMarcus, great interview and explanations of the challenges in AI.

Things came undone this week: Starmer resigned, SpaceX tanked, the Iran deal stumbled, and a housing bill that passed the Senate is dying on Trump’s desk.
Today’s conversation with @GaryMarcus is a must-listen. His argument: AI is much less intelligent than the market is pricing.
Earlier in the week, @gilluria came on to explain what SpaceX’s crash meant for the broader AI trade. Oxford’s @PJTheEconomist made the case that the U.K. economy has been quietly breaking for 20 years, and how Starmer’s resignation was a clear symptom of that reality.
Other beats: @arindube on why raising the minimum wage actually works. @FairweatherPhD on whether the landmark housing bill will survive. @MikeIsaac on Meta’s prediction markets play, and Brian Kersmanc on what the Iran talks actually mean for oil.

@edels0n @GaryMarcus Markets test perception; clarity follows.
@mark_l_watson @GaryMarcus @edels0n Kinda feels like they’re missing some key points here, tbh.
