:text-green-game-over:One thing is clear: the labor market must undergo a radical transformation. It's time to stop marinating people in 8 to 16-hour workdays. We should be spending more time with our families, on personal growth, and on creativity.

@mntlblok

Demis has so much more credibility than the other players in the space. No hype, just thoughtful answers. Hope he remains inspired to keep up the good work.

@frankgonzales7831

When are you guys going to do a segment on post labor economy now that you know AGI will arrive in the next 5 to 10 years? Why don’t you guys talk about the role, implications of AGI and what happens afterwards? Truthfully most people aren’t ready to hear about it.

@NoNameToYou

As someone in their 40s I am both relieved to not be entering the labor market right now, scared of where it will go in the future but also very excited by what all the robotics and assistance can do to assist elderly people (myself in future decades).

It's going to be horrific and wonderful all at once.

@ferminespinoza429

Every time I hear from leaders in the AI arena pushing this tech faster and faster (Demis, Elon, Altman, etc.). They always talk about the need to set guardrails or figure out values we want to make sure AGI should have but its always framed as if someone else should be doing this. As if others not in the AI arena have the means to even wrapped their heads around what is going on to begin with. Its probably because the work to advance towards AGI is way more exciting than the work it would take to ensure there is safety and human well-being in alignment with this technology. We are indeed approaching a potential pandora's box and we are too excited to arrive there in a hurry to worry about how it all ends.

DeepMind’s long game is wild. On the ground level, I’ve been building voice agents with Trillet and it’s surprising how far things have come already in terms of tone and interaction.

@Ryan-sh7dp

On one hand, what a time to be alive, on the other, humanity is not ready for this (nor is AGI ready for humanity)

this video made me want to go out into nature and never come back

We’re not just watching history being made — we’re watching the birth of something that might rewrite history

@flamebreakk

This was fantastic. I don’t watch 60 minutes but am deep in ai and I love how great his lines were through the whole interview. “Will humans ever sign again…?” It felt like a modern day good old fashioned documentary

@michaeltheunissen609

I'm a fan of Demis ever since Alpha Go. Being a world rated chess player at 12 yr old is a precursor to his strategic thinking. To win a Nobel Prize for chemistry when that is not his formal field of study speaks volumes. That Deepmind, with Demis at the helm, would buy MuJoCo (physics simulator) and then make it freely available to support research speaks to his character.

@babagadoush1

This guy is the only big player interviewed I’ve felt somewhat at ease listening to…

@BloomByCC

This is absolutely the most terrifying thing to ever bring into existence...

@ericharr2293

He glossed over the international coordination piece - the most important part of how AI will affect us all. We need a global convening and an accord to be signed by all of the major players.

@shantboyadjian2688

10/10 interview but it scares the brakes off of me that the CEO is even shocked by how the Chatbot is able to rationalize and even believes at some point the bot could have a consciousness and we wouldn’t be able to tell! Advancing knowledge, which is AI

@SPHSPHSPHSPH

I think one of the basic conditions of being human is that we're just terrible at grasping exponential growth. Whether it turns out grand or grim, I don't think most folks fully realize how radically different the world might look in just five years. Huge chunks of the stock market are already driven by algorithmic decision-making. If AI keeps scaling exponentially, what’s the point of "the market" at all? We’re just following optimized instructions yeah?

@cybervtek

Wow, @11:05 that's a powerful statement!

@elijahadii

This was chilling and fascinating. The pursuit of AGI isn’t just about faster machines—it’s about reshaping what it even means to be intelligent. DeepMind’s work feels like we’re watching the next chapter of evolution unfold, but instead of nature, it’s driven by code.

I’ve been exploring the human side of all this in my own content—how we adapt, what we lose, and what we have to protect as the line between biological and artificial intelligence starts to blur. Grateful for 60 Minutes for putting a spotlight on the urgency and the nuance.
