Eu astept asta!

So positive at the end…

I so wish Richard Feynman was presently alive .. his analysis of Computers, no matter at what level of sophistication.. they are sorting machine .. no matter how much data or speed. I’d love is updated view. A cohesive ‘I’ is an unfoldment of a integration of a certain amount of impressions … my sense is if an apparent ‘I’ of some sort can arise out of trillions of bits of computer information.. it possibly could be colored through the ‘I’ of the programmer.. I find that the concerning part … who is selecting and orienting the data.

Excellent premonition EY!! My question: Why do we insist on calling AI ''Artificial''? Isn't intelligence just intelligence? Shouldn't it be biological intelligence and machine intelligence?

Will we be able to reproduce and have sex?

Rip to Dr White famous for his monkey head transplant surgery.

Unfortunately this man DID die by assumption.

Amazing presentation. Barney's estimates of time it would take for major changes were very acurate.

Old video, but this now seems outdated. Miller predicted that when people expect the singularity, they will save less money and so interest rates go up. But it seems people who believe in the singularity will save _more_ money: they will heavily invest in AI companies, GPU companies, or microchip foundries. Because they expect those to explode in value.

Who knew the savior (hopefully) of humanity would look like this

Fascinating to hear his thoughts back then and now more recently on LLMs.

27:50 "Humans are The Singularity's ultimate fallback plan. Humans can operate without electricity and semiconductors." Thanks, Mr. Vinge, for providing an incredibly charming ego stroke. This resonates more with me than all the well-intended "remember, you matter!" and "you are important!" admonitions I hear on KZbin videos nowadays.

Wow! Looking back, hofstander was totally and Ray looks like a prophet

Alexander Wissner-Gross! your latest "Dear, Diary" entry. Thanks for sharing! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpjSXnSpapplnrssi=6ui4AwuLrnFEFrTR Future free time gamer, 'natch! kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6i5gqqNmceoiKMsi=cUmsbSyAP2BOHa3w Be sure to smirk. That'll convince it. ;P please. come back to us. you can't be serious. you will lose--it all--yours and everyone's.

What a man.

Lob's Theorem 14:12 laugh line 🤣 and the answer to the final question at the end 😭

2023 Shrike arrived (from Hyperion Cantos)

Why does this look like it was filmed in the 90s lol

Dmitry inspired me to master life extension if your reading this dmitry dont give up we can achive human immortality

That this does not have more comments is telling how stupid most Americans have become

I'm nostalgic for these days. Everything seemed so promising and hopeful, with just a few smart weirdos trying to change everything.

Can't help but like this guy

It's sad to see how much more positive Elizier was 10 years ago.

Great talk

Immaculate talk! If only we had listened...

24:25 he says that the notion of simply throwing brute force a the problem is what he objects to, and 16 years later that is exactly what they did with ChatGPT

sheesh... working on alignment destroyed him.

A powerful machine will not possess the requisite empathy. The intelligent machine will be a sociopath.

starts off sounding like a teenager. sounds better now, talking about AI

This is great stand up loooool

Title should be "Hofstadter on the shallow intellect of Kurzweil." He can look at his watch in haughty fashion as much as he wants, he's getting schooled here and everyone knows it.

@Engineering Tutor

Man I like this Yudowsky Guy

9:56 "...the low IQ end of humanity, talking about being smothered by self-reproducing techno dust". This portion is about morgellons which affects all life on earth, some people in horrendous fashion. The talk is great but that part tasted foul. Moreover, smothering isn't the main issue, rather biology being converted in synthetic life. Well sorry not sorry Sir, that real life nanotech struggles were steamrolling over your intended talking points. Before the denials flood in, mainstream science admitted the existence of these fibers in 2010. Don't you worry, there's plenty of downplaying and misdirection in those studies but, there is an admission in the cesspool of corporate funded "science".

I understand and agree with him on favoring rationality over optimism, but all other things being equal optimism (in the face of the unknown) is better than pessimism.

'Ray takes an exponential curve and makes it a linear curve by plotting logarithmically", no wonder Douglas is a genius very few understand let alone accept. His legacy will continue in 2493 AD as well.

You the best

@11:26 can someone please share the name and title of the book he mentions there?

Why this nigga hands so small?

19:15 I bet it was Neil Degrasse Tyson

I'll select #2. -_- funded by the US Gov.

This is such a great lecture. Should have become an article! I loved the error mountains!

I'm fan and just really happy to him live. I surprised that he is also good speaker not just thinker😃

Quote: 17:29 “We, in creating the second intelligent species, should be creating the most wonderful thing that has ever happened to human beings. Finally, we’re going to be released from all these mundane jobs. And in theory we should all be able to go on perpetual vacation. The robots do all the work and we sit back and enjoy it. Instead, because of the way the economy is structured right now, when the second intelligent species arrives it’s going to have a devastating effect on all of us. Not just the people who actually do lose their jobs but everybody who’s around them because there will be so many unemployed people dumping into the marketplace. The thing I would like to encourage us to do is to think about how do we want to structure the economy given that we know this is going to happen. There is no doubt that truck drivers will be out of jobs in, pick a time frame. There’s no doubt. Wal-Mart workers they’re all going to be out of jobs. Construction workers, all of them. There’s no doubt that’s going to happen. So, are we going to let it happen or are we going to restructure the economy so that we can all go on perpetual vacation? I submit to you that we actually get to make that choice if we take it upon ourselves to do it. And we could actually redesign the economy to make that happen. And I think we should. We should redesign the way the economy works so that we all get the benefits of all this automation. So, how might you do that? You would spread the benefits of productivity increases to everyone. You would not let it all flow up to the CEO, who’s making five hundred million dollars a year or whatever ridiculous number they make. You would spread it out to everyone. You would break that concentration of wealth. You would increase pay for everybody. You would start reducing the workweek. You would actually say hey, this 40 hour workweek we’ve had it forever let’s make it 35, then 30, then 20 until we’re all on perpetual vacation. ~Marshall Brain Founder of HowStuffWorks, host of “Factory Floor with Marshall Brain” on National Geographic, Director of the Engineering Entrepreneurs Program at NCSU Author of “Manna”

Brilliant as always , PT is on a level of his own.

Strong first question! 🤖🧡

Everything is held together by sticks and glue. And only when we pressured to build bridges and skyscrapers do we squeeze out something. But I think humans are 99.9% heuristic driven. It’s really hard to escape. It is only puzzles and games with internal rules excised from background assumptions of mathematics or science or anything that true reason is manifest.

This man would be a great person to have at a party.

hey come on i am not exactly suggesting we heat humans with microwave here
