Given what he's accomplished, having him share his thoughts in such a frank way, is a great historical contribution. It's significant to have him speaking for himself and to not have some future biographer distort who he was, or what he thought.

[@Citruss_XIII]

Accomplished? He's hoarding more wealth that you can even comprehend. Do you know how much a single billion is? You could make $10,000 a day for 10,000 years and still not have as much money. No let that sink in before you start arguing in your mind or worse, justifying it. Capitalism is broken. People are playing this game and exploiting the shit out of it, along with the governments blessing. Don't turn around and blame immigrants for jobs when I'm sure Bezos makes more in an hour than all of the immigrants in America combined. He does not need that money. It is immoral to hoard that much. If the richest 1% donated just 10% of their money-- something they would never notice- they could change the shape of the country and the world. They didn't "earn" all of that money, it's not proportional to their inputs or contributions.

The most eye opening part for me was 1:50:40 when Jeff was explaining how AI isn't even close to the humans, because human brains use only about 20 watts of power and need very little data to succeed. AI currently uses multiple kilowatts of power and needs billions of parameters to "learn" and "generate" a result. Never heard it that way before.

[@uncoiledfish2561]

AI doesn’t really even exist yet. These are just advanced programs. Ai is a great marketing term these days. So it gets stamped on everything.

Brain compute vs power draw has been referenced a ton in the chip world for decades. The brain isn't that fast, but holy hell is it efficient.

It’s really not a great argument, it just means we’re far from reaching the efficiencies of the brain. We don’t need super efficiencies to have agi that is dangerous.

[@sojourner99]

Lol that comparison isn't accurate. Humans also need to eat food that takes a lot of energy to grow, they need a house to sleep, consumer products to make them happy, medical care when they get sick etc.. AI needs none of that.
