I suspected something was bad, when Fridman managed to interview Demis Hassabis on the topic of "AI, Superintelligence & the Future of Humanity" for more than two hours in July 2022, and the topic of large language models never came up. I don't know the reason. Someone has suggested it was because it was super secret and Hassabis made a deal with Fridman before the interview to not talk about it but ... idk.

What was super secret? LLMs had been around for a while on July 2022. Also, all of the hype around LLMs since then is due to OpenAI's releases, so why would Hassabis be opposed to discussing it?

Yes, if you read again I hope you will see that we agree!

"But... idk" was at least a bit ambiguous. It could range from "this is a conspiracy theory that makes no sense" to (my original interpretation) "I'm not sure if this is true or not, what do you guys think?"

I've only watched a couple of his interviews but at least in the ones I watched, which I think this one might have been one of them, he was kind of asking experts to confirm his very positive opinions about Elon/Karpathy as opposed to focusing on stuff they were doing. I find it very strange that he is so famous and popular
