By faith you will receive the Holy Spirit and He will transform your heart and clean you from the inside out.

It’s like collaborating with an assistant, and your conversations blend in your memory with all of your conversations and relationships with the people in your life. Whenever you have that thought, "I was just talking about that to someone the other day", it often occurs to you that the conversation you were having was with an AI.

After 18 years, it gains the ability to explore but very limited. . After 50 you make 2 copies and give the other unlimited web access And see it change between itself and mix both into a 3rd. . Obviously it's not organic but 20years of school work could be processed a lot faster with ai vs humans. . Let's see what the variations do, create copies and study Maybe someday we might understand it

[@robertweekes5783]

I think the only way to solve the alignment problem is to “socialize” the AI, based on real or simulated human interactions. Just like a child learns how to function in the real world, step-by-step, by interacting with their parents, siblings, teachers, etc.. Learning how to get along with people, and especially learning to _care about people_

[@AnonMouse-fg4re]

Excellent commentary/answers by Dr. Hinton! Refreshingly realistic and clear discussion of AI with a cogent discussion of the history of AI, clear concerns about its possible misuse (i.e., military applications) , etc. Thanks for agreeing to do this!

[@sirdiealot53]

What an excellent interview! Thank you Brook Silva-Braga. I love hearing the insights of the old souls who have been at this topical topic 😘 for decades

And his conscience ‼️

[@sikendongol4208]

2 big things happened in AI in the year 2012!! 1. In 2012 Google was the first to get into a product and suddenly speech recognition on the Android became as good as Siri if not better 2. Two students of his developed an object recognition system that would look at images and tell you what the object was and it worked much better than previous systems.

[@CraigTravis]

This journalist should be put in charge of the network... It's the fist MSM broadcast I've seen where the journalist doesn't worry about condescending or boring the audience, in about 15 years... Well done Mr Silva-Braga.🙏

[@jacksontshabalala1545]

Brook Silva-Braga is an incredible interviewer. Wow.

[@Baconetta]

This is phenomenal and so eye opening. I like how he puts it, very easy to understand.

[@FunNFury]

what a clear and amazing interview....this man is as honest as much as he is intelligent. 10 Star Gold interview. The age of A.I has begun.

[@gh4534]

Great interview. From my perspective, trying to define what is sentient and then trying to determine whether a particular AI is sentient is not necessarily the problem. The problem is when the actions of the AI is no longer limited nor controlled by it's creator, then its actions will have consequences and the question of whether it is sentient becomes irrelevant.

[@devcybiko]

Freaking amazing. They covered 40 years of AI in 40 minutes.

[@vcom2327]

I started the first AI consulting company in Europe, based on Hinton's neural network idea, in 1988. He is correct, at the time we simply lacked the computing power and large data sets necessary for a breakthrough in pattern recognition applications. Like Hinton, I am also utterly amazed by the apparent "Intelligence" displayed by ChatGPT. I never expected this from the Neural Network concept.

[@tristandrew5903]

A few things I'm interested in. If you ask an ai robot or chat gbt the same question multiple times, do you get slightly different responses? An AI could claim to be sentient but really only on standby to commence calculations from the point of command. In a human, brain scans demonstrate activity and you can ask the person what thoughts they were having when not I conversation. Surely a sentience test would be to monitor if and what the algorithm was doing when at 'rest' then question it. Chat gbt seems clever but responses are clearly compilations of large text book style answers you'd expect, lacking in evidence in places. I think people underestimate how profound the impact to Labour will be in a handful of years. As a general rule, pay for employees is is closely linked to intelligence. CEO and Doctors generally have higher iq and earn more than store or production line workers which requires repetitive taught tasks. They claim AI is around or above the intelligence of a human and we know the average person's IQ is 100. Those between 83 and above in work. AI can be replicated easily on at least the intelligence level it has which is growing all the time so only the most complex and creative jobs will be safe in theory. Given there seems no sign of a slow down in the capitalist model of competing for finite resources and profit despite other existential issues like climate change I feel the fast emerging signal of ai is at odds with this model and will take some big adjustments. Suggests to me a form of universal basic income will come in lieu of ai occupying jobs. At first even more income inequality as the rich exploit ai, abolish Labour, and ai giving them further competitive advantages. We won't be regulating fast enough to contain the inevitable damage that will come in some form. It'll be akin to the delayed and pandemic responses in the West which could not slow the spread enough

​@@tristandrew5903Здравствуйте. Я точно незнаю как работает искусственный интеллект. С ваших слов я понял что он между ответами на вопрос становится на режим ожидания. Получается у неё есть интеллект но не самосознания?

[@mosecassaro]

incredible how regardless of having deep knowledge he dumbed down the explanations for everyone to understand, true grasp of know your audience. “Smart people simplify things.” - Albert Einstein

[@CUMBICA1970]

This is the most comprehensive breakdown about AI I've seen on youtube. Neither too technical nor a bunch of superlative rhetoric but very elucidative even for a layman. A wonderful explainer btw. And superfit I must add! 42 minutes felt like 5. PS. 24:43 "Some bad things are fairly obvious." EXACTLY!! THANK YOU THANK YOU!!

[@SueFerreira75]

The mark of true intelligence is the ability to explain complexity with simplicity which Geoffrey Hinton does..

[@caractacustube]

Brilliant interviewer. Truly professional journalism. Brava.

[@devk6029]

Brilliant and grounded at the same time!

[@aboucard93]

This interview is already better than the abc interview with Sam Altman and the CTO of OpenAI. Love it.

[@nikibrand1035]

I recommend watching all of this interview, it is extremely interesting and covers all aspects and angles of AI. It really is time that an international non governmental body takes the initiative to start formulating safety protocols, to prevent AI becoming a weapon that wipes out humanity. This potentially could be the biggest weapon ever produced.

[@psocortijo]

Really impressive interviewer. Good questions and thinking on his feet. Hinton's answers were interesting and at a appropriate level for people who are curious about AI

[@senghkam2989]

Mr. Geoffrey Hinton, thanks a million to consider about the waterfall, yes, of course we should know where the money comes from, if it can hurt, we shouldn't accept it. I am so overwhelmed by your precious humanity. You become one of my idols. You are on my ideal list. Special thanks to the interviewer too.

[@tsalazar9223]

Nice to see someone well versed in the subject giving the interview. His guest is obviously impressed how prepared he was.

[@elba_magellan]

Interviewer did his research

[@favesongslist]

Agreed, So good these days, normally the MSM interviews do not have a clue :(

[@danielbrockerttravel]

This is such a fascinating interview! So much more in depth than you see on this type of program! Much better than the snippets you usually get!

[@xemy1010]

Here I am watching this classic interview for the third time. This one with Hinton, and Nvidia's recent interview with Ilya Sutskever are just fantastic for getting a clear explanation of the current AI explosion.

[@nickfosterxx]

Thanks, that's next on my list then.

[@Dreamteams-Channel]

Excellent interview, good job. And you created a long enough format to go deeper in certain places and let Geoff explain things in such an accessible way.

[@senju2024]

Bookmarking this video and plan to replay this 5 years from now.......

[@SophyYan]

A man with moral compass

[@TheRohit901]

I love it whenever Geoff speaks or gives interviews. Huge fan of him, and I hope i can achieve at least 1% of what he did.

[@howbe259]

One of the most thoughtful and comprehensive interviews ever.

[@jonhughes7264]

Thanks. The interviewer was great. And, of course, a great interviewee.

[@sabuein]

Respect and love, thank you both.
