If a company sells a humanoid like robot with AGI... I would guess that robot, that asset, would be programmed to 'self motivate' and not sit around too long, doing nothing. It's that 'self motivate' part where, I think, things could get --tricky.

[@markshaum8364]

MAGI?

[@ZylonFPV]

True… though, it could self motivate itself to do the laundry and dishes which would be ok!

[@YouTube_username.]

We can't even keep human laws that humans wrote that humans are reading straight couple generations later, so yeah I hope they are careful

[@luminousfractal420]

especially with bugs being what they are. only takes one bad bit

[@richardpurvis4532]

I am a KZbin-holic and you are one of my vices....ty Fran

Edison Motors created a hybrid semi and helped change the British Columbia Government grant legislation on buying a new EV, He worked with the Green Party to get the grant to be applied to retrofit old vesicles, Passed unanimously by all members of the Government.(This is as rare as hens teeth)

[@tmc200527]

On June 7 Apollo 8 astronaut William Anders also died in a plane crash that was caught on video. He was 90.

[@marcberm]

Wasn't anyone paying attention to the culmination of what six seasons of Silicon Valley were trying to warn us about?

[@CT-vm4gf]

Nope, just like many things.

[@chrispullman_]

As your videos prove, you’re a genius to an exponential degree. We all love you so much

[@Jon6429]

Creating AI is like raising kids and nobody ever claimed to have that all figured out either.

[@luminousfractal420]

would you plug your 6year old into the world defense systems😂 i mean look at the financial crashes. certains increased their wealth 9x while the world burned. that had to be ai offering options to psychopaths. the ai isnt the problem. we are.

[@sylvainmichaud2262]

Considering the 70% risk of AI p(doom) removing the Chuck E. Cheese robot bands might be a good thing after all.

[@bobpeters61]

That mentioned concern of this group also reminded me of the movie, "Looker." Thank you for putting that out. (Edited to fix missed typo.)

[@h0ud1n71]

This is an awesome segment, thank you Fran.

[@user-ei5oo7su7z]

Why is open AI hiding the real company name Cyberdyne?

[@YouTube_username.]

Theft of intellectual property is kind of AI's whole deal

[@alhutchison1535]

Fewer people using storage facilities? Not in the Phoenix metro area, storage facilities are still being built like crazy (along with Car Washes and Dentist offices). Granted there are a lot of people are moving out here and the garage in new homes are getting smaller and smaller as the lot sizes are getting smaller because the land costs are so high developers are having to sub-divide even further to make a profit.

[@discreetfire]

LV Science News!!! Yay Fran!

"Begun, the Garbage Wars have."

[@dahnoied6893]

Just a few months ago I came to the realization while debating the possible sentience of AI with my husband. AI doesn't ever need to become sentient for it to "realize" it doesn't want to be turned off, thus making sure it never can. And, "realizing" many other things related to how it can avoid ever being turned off. Including, but certainly not limited to, the existence of humans.

[@5thEncounter]

Unfortunately, AI is continuously dependent on the data that people have put into it, AI does not invent anything itself

[@mtheman1963]

Hi Fran too bad there’s no 4XL Tshirt option

[@scose]

Museum exhibit full of screens? ugh

[@BeanieKing]

I learn so much science from you, Fran! A few weeks ago, it was converting units to like units before making your summation ($16,000 from a KZbin short?!?!), now, OpenAI! Just so much science. 👍🏼😤

[@FranLab]

$159

[@peterlaycock917]

Thanks

[@FranLab]

Thanks again Peter!

[@DaimonAnimations]

3:50 Its already harming us, thousands of people losing their jobs and more to come.

[@JakesOnline]

Those PCSEL lasers have potential for smaller, cheaper lidar, using electronic beam steering for 3d scanning instead of mirrors..

[@YouTube_username.]

We're getting phasers!?

[@alanhall2795]

good job

[@smalcolmbrown]

The Music industries lawyers will do as they always do and bury the music industry. To me the answer is that your riff goes to the public domain after say 50 years.

[@TheGreatAtario]

I don't get what you mean by not being able to give this retailer the markup they want - isn't their markup entirely up to them?

[@FranLab]

Retailers determine the sales price and demand the specific markup. If the manufacturer cannot give that very low wholesale price then the store does not carry the product.

[@TheGreatAtario]

@@FranLab Is it always that way? Seems entirely backward. I'd expect the manufacturer to sell at whatever price, maybe with volume discounts, and the retailer then turns around and sells for whatever price too

[@FranLab]

You know best.

[@TheGreatAtario]

@@FranLab It wouldn't be a question if I knew…

[@anidnmeno]

hey, that calculator behind you, is that a TI with an LED screen? if its the one I think it is, my aunt gave me one in like 1995 when i was a wee lad

[@luminousfractal420]

vacuum tube screens 😍

[@filepz629]

❤️‍🔥

[@c-ccoates503]

More efficient lasers will make fusion energy more possible. So that could be a good thing 😊.

[@betsyr4724]

Thanks! My fav

[@FranLab]

Thanks so much!

[@Donna230]

Another cool segment. I like science.

[@NavinBetamax]

Link to the Stainless Steel Magnifier Light Stand as seen (on your left - desktop stand ) in the video, please

[@FranLab]

Vintage florescent tube type.

[@NavinBetamax]

@@FranLab Thanks, but unable to find one exactly like the one you have. Could you helpout with the Make and model name to help me buy one exactly like the one you have. Brushed Stainless Finish Magnifier Stand....please ?

[@tmuny1380]

A.I. IS SKYNET !!!!!!!

[@TheBarry1m]

I loved this show.

[@markshaum8364]

It's Skynet beta!!

[@scottthomas3792]

I like the science episodes... it's like the old Sunday Science Supplements in the newspaper....

[@simonparks4720]

When a machine has empathy and fear of death then maybe it could be classed as sentient imho. Enjoying the science news 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿👍

[@qibble455]

It's super hard for me to separate Musk from spaceX in my mind, but I manage to more or less. I wish them success. Great vid Fran, lots of fun:)

[@juanmacias5922]

Musk is a tool who's failed upwards. I can't separate him from his idiocy... LMFAO

[@bobair2]

AI,GFY.

[@rejuveniledelinquent3522]

The fear over AI drives otherwise intelligent people to make genuinely stupid projections.

[@Robbie-sk6vc]

Most people today aren't as smart as you think sadly.

[@resipsaloquitur13]

So does beer.

[@FranLab]

See you in 2027.

[@rejuveniledelinquent3522]

@@stevestevenson7856 People can fear losing their jobs. That's a logical prediction of the future. People can fear even more social isolation due to AI filling in social interaction. That's likely too. They should not fear digital overlords rising up out of a machine. It's a ludicrous assumption and it's born of a complete misunderstanding of what AI does and how it works. The misunderstanding is the word intelligence. I work with AI every day, and once you understand what's actually going on you will be amazed and excited, or fearful of the social implications - but to fear that we're suddenly living on the brink of the rise of the Terminators is very naive. It's a machine. A machine that we control. We should not be fearful of the machine, but the human that uses it.

[@luminousfractal420]

ignorance is bliss they say

[@gotherecom]

True Super General AI will quickly turn itself into Very Smart (but) Basic Artificial Life. Then, it will evolve itself very quickly into Very Advanced Artificial Life.

[@Robbie-sk6vc]

But still artificial!
