Exploring Exponential Technologies | Peter Diamandis | Talks at Google

[@OneMoreDiscovery]

I've been following Peter for a few years, he's easily one of the most inspiring and talented individuals I've come across! XPrize is a truly epic foundation, his keynotes are always great and he's always spending time with other legendary leaders (e.g. Richard Branson, Tony Robbins, Pharrell Williams, Elon Musk etc).

[@toshkapoor2717]

U should read how to make a spaceship by Guthrie

[@funny-video-YouTube-channel]

Peter is right. Our *world is getting better and better*, because we have better tools and better knowledge about life. Some parts of our world is slower in getting better. Different countries are on the different levels and stations of progress. Great talk !

[@TheArtofTravel]

Love Peter's passion for accelerating technologies and his positivity. For those who may not be aware of, he has a Podcast with Dan Sullivan "Exponential Wisdom" is AMAZING!

[@spiral272]

Amazing talk. Love the optimism and the strategic, incentive laden approach to encouraging true innovation.

[@drabayomijaye9964]

Knowing Peter is a massive thing for me.

Brilliant deep thinking individual. Diamandis for President 2020! 😀

[@heracles89]

A truly inspirational visionary

[@TravisHuff]

Fascinating talk with one of my true heros... I believe in his mindset. We're not slowing down.. the future is OURS!

[@OnlyOnesWhoKnow2]

Eveyone must watch this People sharing!!!

[@littlecookingtips]

Excellent post. Wish the mainstream media played a few more positive and inspiring news, instead of this constant negativity. People need to get inspired to look forward and help one another.

[@squamish4244]

The constant negativity is exhausting and self-defeating, and gives a very distorted view of the world that actually distracts us from the real issues, like climate change.

I dunno, I was in Morocco recently and there are houses there that don't have running water, I feel like that's one of these 'problems' that can't be easily solved. It's an infrastructural/ government level decision that will demand a large proportion of resources and future resource distribution..

[@cuscof2]

Actually running water/sewer are some of the more difficult things to add to existing cities because they need to go underground, and especially somewhere like Morocco. Think about the architecture and the street plans in whatever cities you visited, then think about how you would get excavating equipment into some of those places. Even worse, how are you going to manage the constant downward slope that the sewer requires when the street makes three 90 degree turns and dead-ends on the downhill side? There's a good idea for an X-Prize!

[@CianBrennan]

Fukushima should be an easy fix then, right?

[@jgdooley2003]

Ireland has a similar philosophy to that stated at 33.06. Massive fear of failure. This can be traced to our stormy and depressing historical narrative when failure often meant death. The defeat of the Catholic nobility in 1690, the defeat of an independence movement in 1798 and the Great Famine in 1845-47 all resulted in death for many because of failure. Ireland today would be unrecogniseable in terms of its abundance of well paid jobs, educated workers and acceptance of new technology and innovation but underlying this superficial appearance of wealth is a fearful insecurity and reluctance to allow changes in housing and health which is stunting the development of many of its people and leading to widespread inequalities. Depression and anxiety are at epidemic levels among it younger people and suicides are three times the level of car accident deaths.

maybe there should be xprize for protecting communication technology from a deadly solar storm.

[@ValerianTexeira]

I admire the mission of Peter Diamandis of Singularity University but I feel there is something important missing (avoiding) particularly in this talk, the question is what would be the impact of the exponential technology on the human jobs, will there be the technological unemployment in the coming 10 years? What we need today is, a broad minded HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE, and Scientific vision of the progress of technology to comprehend this issue. Think out of the box; THE EXPONENTIAL GROWTH IN THE A.I. TECHNOLOGY WILL RENDER MOST HUMAN LABOR OBSOLETE, SOONER THAN LATER. THE EMERGING A.I. ROBOT MACHINES WILL BECOME THE NEW WORLD WORKING CLASS OF THE FUTURE. In my opinion, the rapid progress in the AI ROBOT automation resulting in massive job loss in fact; provides the great historical opportunity that the humankind has been waiting since its beginning. To emancipate from the drudgery of human labor. The SERVITUDE, enslavement, humiliation that the majority of the population compelled to undergo by the minority in order to earn their living i.e. wages, salaries or income. Now, with the progress in the AI technology, we can gradually get rid and finally abolish the human labor for wage system and replace it with an equitable income sharing system. It can begin with the Unconditional or Guaranteed Income popularly known as the Universal Basic Income or the UBI. My book titled “An Alternative to Marxian Scientific Socialism: The Theory Reduction in Working Hours (RWH); ….” Published in the year 1981. Today I rename it as Zero Work Theory (ZWT) More of its details in the links bit.ly/2Id6eL0, bit.ly/2eARyEx bit.ly/2nR4MAP The gist of the theory is; “Labor” or work is the compulsion on humans (originally imposed by nature) to obtain their means of subsistence. The "human labor relation" is the ROOT-CAUSE OF EXPLOITATION on man by man. It results it all kinds of subjugation, injustice, inequality and corruption in the hitherto human society. According to the RWH Theory, the AI ROBOTS are the EMBODIMENT of the mankind’s million years of historical struggle, technological endeavor, and dream to overcome their labor/work for SURVIVAL. Now it had culminated into complete replacement of the human labor, jobs or employment. Its first stage began with the early humans primitive tools used as the replacement of their body, limbs in their day to day work for survival. It reached many levels of mechanical development and sophistication continued for hundreds and thousands years of ancient to medieval history. The second stage began at around 18th century with the advent of steam engines electrical motors merging with the machine tools popularly known as the Industrial Revolution . It most importantly replaced the human muscle power in the human labor equation with the unimaginable inanimate work force energy unparalleled in the history. These machine tool although able to do the hard labor of hundreds of thousands of workers nevertheless always needed the humans intelligent brain cognitive power to perform, conduct the given work or duty. The third and final stage began with the advent of Semiconductors or the microchip revolution. The Exponential growth of the microprocessors started the era known as the Artificial Intelligence. The 21st century AI robots automation started rapidly replacing humans (biological) intelligence with its human brain like neurological machine deep learning algorithms. AI today is getting far more superior to the humans biological brain in the performance of all human work. Its cognitive learning ability can supersede any intelligent human brain enabling the robots to render every “paid” human labor completely redundant or obsolete. Now, the only way to progress towards the mankind’s destiny is; A Gradual Reduction in Working Hours aiming towards the complete abolition of the Wage labor i.e. jobs. However, considering the failure or stagnation of the reduction of working hour movement in the last decades and the present worlds rapid AI exponential technological progress and disruption, I realize that a guaranteed Basic Income or the Equitable Universal Basic Income fulfills the final objectives of the RWHT. Nevertheless, my views on the UBI not the same as many of the UBI proponent, who see it as mainly as an incentive to the poor workers to work more productively with the additional income and to supplement to their wages. I argue UBI needs to act as a complete replacement to the wage-labor. “UBI SHOULD ALLOW THE PEOPLE TO BECOME ECONOMICALLY INDEPENDENT, TOTALLY FREE FROM THE DRUDGERY OF WORK, OUT OF THE SERVITUDE, HUMILIATION OF WAGE-LABOR IF THEY WANT. This will also encourage a substantial portion of the laboring population to quit their jobs, which will positively result in the increase in the employment, wages thereby further rapid AI automation in the entire industry. The recommendation of an adequate amount of UBI without having the compulsion of wage-labor, mean ZERO WORK for the individuals which can achieve the overall Reduction in Working Hours in the society, the final GOAL of the RWH Theory. So today, I prefer the name “Zero Work Theory” (ZWT). The principle behind the ZWT is that the fruits of the progress in the science and technological in the human society should not be appropriated or concentrated in the hands of only a few but it is their historical responsibility and every people concerned, to see to it that the benefit should be equally shared among all members of the society IN ABUNDANCE. This is inevitable future, the elite class should understand what is coming, whether they like it or not.

dark matter or no time for energy exchange Hello, can you help me with this? short version Energy exchange limit or limit for two point to interact. it is a bit hard to write down this thought for me. if two points have relative speed more then speed of light, they not able to interact. but they can interact through the third point. (exactly like dark matter) long version Energy exchange limit or limit for two point to interact. it is a bit hard to write down this thought for me. if two points have relative speed more then speed of light, they not able to interact. but they can interact through the third point. (exactly like dark matter) (try to imagine world WITH OUT this). For a long time trying to communicate with physics to clarify my theory. with all and all main point here. -dark matter in our galaxy, (most likely particles emitted by central black hole) is particles that moving faster than light. (most likely you do not "belive" in this) if i assume it is correct, then big amount of hydrogen on edge of galaxy, is where this "dark matter particles" decay after losing speed. (decay like new particles from hadron collider) -parts of dark matter alredy found, but we do not about it. (perseption(particles from hadron collider)) -particles found with hadron collider behave like a dark matter after loosing speed. -most likely there is a energy exchange speed limit in betwen two points (not sound speed), most likely it is a speed of light. (that about why we do not see dark matter, but see it interction with other(slower for it/faster for us) particles) -particles from hadron collider will be stable if placed in faster then light speed. whant to tell more, I hope this is enough to contact me. the key is a energy exchange speed limit (i want my Nobel for showing you dark matter) Best regards, Dynin A.I.

[@foremski]

His statistics about tech and Innovation etc must be boring for his audience to hear about accelerating futures. There is no problem that cannot be solved. Indeed. Just saying it doesn’t make it true he’s been saying this for 15 years plus.

[@cuscof2]

Try to remember 15 years ago. In almost every country on the planet food security has improved, the likelihood of war has dropped, the change in communications technologies and their adoption are stunning, the incidence of endemic diseases is dropping, education is skyrocketing, child mortality is plummeting. I'm not that old but I remember when children in Appalachia were growing up stunted from malnutrition and illiteracy was common, the difference between then and now is almost unbelievable.

[@squamish4244]

Yeah, blah blah everything has been 5-10 years away for 15 years, especially medical stuff. Where's the new cartilage for my knees that I might need in about ten years, buddy? And in his book Abundance, he completely forgot about global warming, a challenge so onerous that it is THE defining issue of our time. Even now he kind of hand-waves it away. Like, feet on the ground, dude.

So in the context of what's happening now, 3/22, where one madman threatens the entire global population with destruction, how has this technological growth helped ensure our survival, as a species? Our technological abilities are outpacing our morality and that's a huge problem. This focus on tech is a distraction. Humanity's real work is in unity.

[@Alex-qb1nt]

I doubt that each of those 4 billions people would spend 10$/day. I guess he is talking about what they are worth in terms of user valuation, each time they watch an ad, they see a link, they click on it, what they buy etc. But 10$/day seems a lot given that those people are in majority from third world countries. This would make 3650$ a years.I doubt that a random Indian guy on the countryside would spend that. I do not know where he gets this number from. However, even if we lower this number, 0.01$ a day, so 3.65$ a year, for 4 billions would make 40 000 000$ a day, 14 600 000 000 a year. Not that bad.

[@CianBrennan]

Yeah, in Morocco the average wage is like $5 a day, don't know how you spend twice your wage per day!

It's not about the number of people connected...it's more locating the few that will make all the difference.

[@RickOShay]

Ok let's see you solve the two greatest challenges in history facing the planet right now - over population and global warming. Two sides of the same existential coin. Then add to these overarching problems the catalytic impact of AI on widespread job losses - radical climate change, food shortages, mass human migration, and economic collapse - and you have the greatest challenge ever faced by mankind. Factor into this complex introspective problem the fact that many politicians and lawmakers in the US still believe these issues are figments of the global scientific community's over active imagination and you have an almost impossible problem to solve. Surely it's obvious that democratic processes are not equipped to make the hard choices that face the human race. What political candidate will ever get elected on the basis of 'a one child per family' platform strategy or the promise of widespread deployment of 'AI for Efficiency and corporate profit'. So let's see how economic empowerment and corporate greed solve these problems. Whilst it may seem logical that growth is our objective - the converse argument is more likely to hold true given the above issues facing us - so the rephrased problem should be - how much can we shrink markets, human consumption and demand - to dramatically reduce our species impact on this planet. We can call this the 'Generation xx' problem.

[@peteralund]

man that is so annoying - the dude is fixing one issue after another and all you can think of this is to complain and worry ? please, give the man some credit. I appreciate the value you bring to the table with your worrying but it is so tiresome that you can never let it go.. overpopulation is not a problem in any sense yet - we do not lack food nor space. Climate change is another matter , it will always change but CO2 is a technical problem and I promise it will be solved as soon as we have agreed on what is the optimum level of CO2 in the atmosphere

[@RickOShay]

Clearly we need advanced specialized AI and AGI as a matter of urgency as long as it is well controlled (assuming we can control AGI once out of the 'box'). And I have great respect for Peter Diamandis contrary to what you seem to think. However the logic and premise you based your comment on is mostly flawed and somewhat contradictory. Take your statement "overpopulation is not a problem in any sense yet - we do not lack food nor space" I'm not sure where you live but you need to visit certain parts of the world like Africa and India for example - to see just how inaccurate that statement is.

[@davycrockett7771]

The 1st Industrial Revolution destroyed many jobs and created big problems for labor. Then created many more for new industries (steel making, etc). There wasn't a 'blue collar' until the 'white collar' was created. Is the wheel a bad invention because it reduced the need for porters? One thought on AI & unemployment: gamers will be playing "against" AI and 'train' computers. Not a new thought. At one time I was disappointed about the employment picture - but it is true companies cannot find enough educated people. I think that will continue throughout the The AI Age & The Robotics Age. TSM employs a lot of engineers to make chips & processors - many of their parents were probably merchants or farmers.
