Sutskever's assertion that we've hit "peak data"1 is a provocative claim that challenges the prevailing paradigm in AI development.

For years, the mantra has been "bigger data, better models."

If we're truly at the point of diminishing returns from simply shoveling more data into the AI's maw, then a fundamental shift in approach is necessary.

The idea of AI becoming "agentic" is intriguing and perhaps a bit unsettling.

It suggests a move away from passive learning machines towards systems that can actively seek out information and even manipulate their environment to achieve goals.

This raises questions about control, ethics, and the very nature of intelligence.

Sutskever's analogy to human brain evolution is apt. Our brains didn't just get bigger over time; they developed new structures and organizational principles that allowed for higher-level cognition.

Similarly, AI may need to evolve beyond brute-force pattern recognition to achieve truly human-like intelligence.
