Top tier interview Liv.

[@ChrisInmanDrums]

JGL speaks with an impressive amount of clarity for someone constantly admitting to not be an expert, just a hobbyist, in this and that… This was a well-researched and really interesting conversation.

[@danaut3936]

What a fantastic conversation! If it's at all possible my respect for JGL has gone through the roof. He clearly knows what's up. Also: I was really happy to hear someone outside the deep learning space acknowledging x-risk in a profound manner and still keeping his optimism. Congrats on a profound yet refreshing convo Liv!

[@LivBoeree]

Thanks!

[@MikeRenouf]

Really great insight - comparing AI mechanisms with the Invisible Hand of market forces. Joseph is a supercool speaker - I enjoyed his previous TED talk too. Great job Liv!

[@MichaelLaFrance1]

I loved the discussion, and was highly impressed by Joseph Gordon-Levitt's insightful and thoughtful views on the future of tech and AI. (and Liv's, of course) He obviously studies the topic in-depth, and I'm already rushing to read some of the authors and books he mentioned. When Joseph said he and his wife talk about AI around the house, I didn't realize until looking it up that she's actually both a senior executive at the Rand Corporation, and on the board of directors at OpenAI and other AI and robotics companies. It's not surprising he has such well-formed views on the topic. It's also good to know that some of his concerns have an unobstructed path to the people that influence those issues the most.

[@secondstarASMR]

Joseph's intelligence astounds me. I learn so much every time I watch his interviews. What an amazing guy!

[@davwunderbrrd6944]

[@keyvanacosta8216]

A rebuttal to the rebuttal would be: a human that riffs on other works has consequences for their creation, whereas chatGPT could create something and doesn't get sued for slander, copyright infringement, trademark, libel, etc. In other words, the human risks something and has the opportunity to consider that risk before deciding to publish and release the work/word. Much like a driver goes to jail for running someone over (choice or mistake), but tesla doesn't if any of their cars do, and worse, cannot determine if it was a choice or a mistake. A prompt engineer would only be responsible for a creation if they have a contract of a work for hire where the AIGs attribute the work to the prompters, but like any freelance contract, retain some attribution of creation.

[@roeesi-personal]

Some off topic responses I have to share somewhere: 1. There are still a few people which, to some extent "hate the piano" even nowadays. I studied classical piano for 8 years and I still play it from time to time but I think it is not the optimal instrument for the best kind of music. The piano indeed gives you perfect pitch every time but it comes in the place of human intonation and microtonal expression techniques that exist on other instruments, which is sort of parallel to the human expression element in the AI discussion. Its standard pitches are also misaligned with the best way music can be, which is where the ratios between the frequencies are simple rational numbers. Of course, I'm not trying to make you like AI here, I just say the piano, especially in its modern form, deserves some of the hate you assume it got. 2. About AI girlfriends, in the state of prohibited human interaction, I'd still say that people can interact with each other the same way AI would interact with them: AI can send text to people? People can also send text to people. AI can show stuff on a screen? People can have video calls. AI can exist in virtual worlds? People can have VR chat. AI can control a robot? People can have controllers strapped to their joints and have their motion sent to a robot. AI can interact with you in a virtual world that feeds a tactile sensation to your brain by a headset connected to a chip on your spinal cord? Other people can exist in that world too. Every way your "digital virtual AI girlfriend" can interact with you can also be used equally well for long distance human interaction. 3. The attribution of certain parts of a work to its creators in Hit Record should not have been done by NFT or by AI IMO. NFTs, as Joseph said are only needed if there is a deeply untrusted party in the system, which isn't the case there (and even more than that, they're really needed only if there is no one everyone can trust to run something in a centralized way, which is very rarely the case). AI is bad, on the other hand, because it's essentially a black box that no one know what it does, and definitely no one should trust with money (although that is kind of what KZbin is doing right now, but they still give people the option to appeal to actual human reviewers AFAIK). The best option a-priori would be a well thought out and handcrafted algorithm, but given that that didn't work, the next best thing to do is what they have ultimately done - give it to the people who created the work to discuss among themselves in a respectable way. Anyway, great video that talks about very important stuff, like the rest of the ones I've watched from this series. I already plan to watch the rest of it and hope you'll continue to make new ones.

[@billsybainbridge3362]

Liv - it would seem that competition is the untenable variable, even if it is a "natural" limitation. Examine the relationship between predator, symbiosis, and parasitism. How else could monopolism have succeeded so well as to capture our frail human systems? "The Market" is unethical, it has no relational obligation to any particular outcome, even one beneficial to all agents. Moloch and Parasociality give weight to these extremeties by feeding off of human limbic responses several lines of intellectual evolution behind our social systems.

[@krink084]

I don't see his idea working out when it comes to paying people if their work has been used in training an AI model. Especially in the open source sphere, plenty of people are using others' work as a reference and then fine-tuning their own version of models. It's going to be impossible to track all of it down. Then we have the other problem... If we aren't able to do it here because we've regulated against it, someone in another country without the constraints of our regulations will.

[@warwulf4023]

There's so much in this discussion that sparks some neurons, from the use of blockchain to track useful work by assigning contributions rather than NFTs (something I'd love to see but that path doesn't seem to be getting in place) to the useful discussion about free market extremism against sole control and the best solution being somewhere in between, using multiple metrics to measure "success", and of course it's great to see what Joe is spending his valuable time on. Very much the kind of conversation I could listen to for hours.

[@jeromekwasniowski8293]

I reaally think that human AI can create a whole new universe...not only in our heads but also in reality...! but they need to be cooperative with our minds...maybe it is better these days to build a real universe with humans together, because the real universe can be your best friend, your best book and your best calculator at the same time and it has so much fantasy in it though!...But we do not have to forget our own identity!😅

[@peter-rhodes]

He has no clue. Actors, writers, musicians have limited to no power in this. They will all get hurt, but the biggest among them will still remain rich and influential. That is because Hollywood has most all the power, control and say. They own the movies, they produce them, they will be the ones lobbying governments. And they won't be trying to take royalties from AI content, they will try to shut it down completely and remove the competition entirely. But Hollywood, too, will ultimately fail in this. They will, however, not care. Because ultimately, everything will just go the exact same way as Spotify did. Hollywood will do everything they can to make life as hard as possible for AI content. They will easily realize though that the tide is coming in and eventually just make a deal with a platform like Netflix. They will all group together and take a high percentage cut of Netflix, then they will sit back and stop caring. Allow all their old media to be shown on Netflix and allow all AI content to be shown on Netflix. They'll do this and be fine with it because Netflix will be making an absolute killing and their cut of the pie will be making them more than ever. Consumers will flock to Netflix because it will be easy and the company will sift through and curate the endless amount of AI-created content. They will be able to suggest, tailor and craft movies directly to an individual; an unrivaled experience. And Netflix would be the only place that Hollywood accepts this content and doesn't crack down upon it and make life difficult. Be gone to the actors, writers and musicians. Hollywood will no longer hardly need them. Ultimately, the better for Hollywood that they're not much in the cut as it just unnecessarily spreads the accumulation of wealth. Things will go much the same way as it has done for the smaller and upcoming musicians due to Spotify. Life will get a lot, lot harder. And it will be significantly even harder with AI content coming in. Nobody now does much of anything for these artists as it was the record companies lobbying and making life difficult for mp3 sharing. Once Spotify was setup and taken over and they had their slice of the pie within it, they stopped caring. Hollywood will not be on their side and once they're not, their days are ultimately numbered. That's just the way it will go and no amount of protesting and written articles will change it.

[@cjpwdesign6108]

don't mess with Special Circumstances.. or getting embroiled with the Eccentrics

[@packardsonic]

I port the solution to this dilema and it gets erased. The solution is realizing that the purpose of UBI is to meet everyone's needs UNCONDITIONALLY and then calling for that specifically instead of UBI. That way people will find different ways to organize grass roots efforts to meet everyone's needs UNCONDITIONALLY and create an ecosystem of Free Collaboration Networks to do so that will not be a centralized concentration of power. This is simple, this is effective and we are doing it right now. We just have yo raise awareness about it more. Large companies spend 1/3 of their budget on promotion but Free Collaboration Networks do not have a budget to do that so we all must make an effort to promote them. Public administration could help enormously if they understand that our goal is to meet everyone's needs UNCONDITIONALLY and that freedom is one of our needs.

First question: let’s not worry about the IATSE working class people that are also “striking” in solidarity

[@MattAngiono]

As a drummer, I can definitely concur with his comment about why there's value in learning these skills! I LOVE playing and do it just for myself and the amazing feeling that the flow state of playing music can bring about! I'm truly scared for the future generations who may likely lose the motivation to learn these very difficult time consuming activities that can take years, even decades, to master. This culture of comfort and ease of access has all kinds of unknown pitfalls that we haven't yet identified. What are the chances we actually get this right? Seem pretty slim to me....

[@MattAngiono]

@@dieselbaby yeah, it's like auto tune for rhythm.... so sad! Nonetheless, I'll keep playing so hopefully someday there will be people who care enough to listen. Even if AI learns how to recreate these imperfections, which I'm sure it will. There's just more value in knowing what an actual human has to go through to learn these skills. THAT is a huge part of the value in my opinion, not just the final product, which can be replicated by machines. This goes for all art.... Someone has to SUFFER or be INSPIRED to create it, or at least had to at one point in time to become human and conspire with their muse!

[@TheSonicfrog]

On a related note, the Beatles were famous for (and openly admitted) knicking licks and song idea from other artists.

[@jdh2024]

Now I'm going to have to read the Culture series... :)

[@Paul_Oz]

warning. it isn't a series in the normal sense. about a dozen or so books that take place in the same universe but I don't think there are any characters that carry over into any other book. Because of this there is a lot of controversy on the proper reading order. Consider Phlebas is the first one written (i think) but I'd suggest starting with The Player of Games.

[@dougcox835]

The current state of AI is the equivalent of a person who completed a college degree and entered the workforce with all the things he's learned along the way but never learns anything new. At some point computer AIs will be trained on data just as a starting point and will be continuously along the way with each new experience. One of the things that I keep being tempted to do is to show the AI where it went wrong when I'm interacting with it but that's a futile exercise because it never really learns. But at some point it will be able to learn on the fly. And each AI will be different from the others just like people are different from each other. I don't understand why they aren't already at that level actually. All it would take is to simply always be training while also doing stuff.

[@andrasbiro3007]

Actually LLMs can learn from "experience". If you tell it something, it will try to incorporate it into it's thinking. The limitation currently is that they have very limited memory, so they quickly forget what they've learned. But there are techniques for extending that memory drastically. Microsoft's LongNet has a billion token context window, which means it can read thousands of books and remember all of their contents. Or it can remember a lifetime worth of conversations. I have no idea what would happen in the latter case. It's very likely that the AI would develop a distinct personality, and may even gain consciousness. You can try this with ChatGPT. You can give it simple rules and it will follow them. You can teach it to do tasks that weren't in it's training data, and it will do a pretty good job most of the time. Long term actual training will happen continuously too. They don't do it yet, because it requires orders of magnitude more computing power, so it would be too slow and too expensive. But OpenAI just released a tool that allows companies to fine tune GPT-3 with their own training data. That's getting closer to what you want.

[@thebluriam]

At 1h00m30s, the tool is called "Git", it's for hardcore revision control tracking that is ubiquitous in the software development world. You could easily use it for script writing. It tracks every minute change, addition, and or subtraction, character by character, line by line, who made the change, why they made the change, what the state was before, the history of all changes, and it's designed for collaboration. If it were used in script writing, you could trace exactly who contributed what, when, how much or how little across the entire lifetime of a script's development. If script writers generally aren't using a Git based tool and there are issues with tracing exact contributions, it would change everything for them.

[@phantomapprentice6749]

This is the case where it affects some people and the other people are sitting high and mighty , thinking the high tide won't get them until it actually does. What I like is that for a change Liv is interviewing someone who's being modest, as opposed to all these posers, who are afraid to appear as though they lack confidence (which they ironically seem to lack).

[@lucas_vasconcelos]

great episode!

[@scottgriz]

At 42:24 where Liv talks about AI or other digital technology as a means to supplant loneliness it really makes this digital technology sound like a drug. It brings up the question of where the difference lies between a digitally induced dopamine hit and popping a pill.

[@andrasbiro3007]

You assume very simplistic AI, essentially better porn. What's the point of a sophisticated AI girlfriend when you can just take a drug instead. The main selling point of AI is exactly intelligence. What if there's a robot that looks and behaves exactly like a human. Is that still a bad thing? I don't think so. At that point making a distinction could even be considered racism. This has been explored in science fiction decades ago, like in Asimov's Bicentennial Man or in the Start Trek TNG episode "The Measure of a Man". So if there's unfulfilled human need (there's plenty) and AI/robots can fulfill it in a healthy way, that's not bad, that's awesome.

[@digitaldave1576]

You are correct there is no difference between dopamine responce to a chemical source and a psychological source, the dopamine is not in the source, our brains makes it, both are addictive

[@TheCosmicBlueStar]

He's awesome. Someone once told me he would play me in a movie about my life 😂

[@ronaldreeves421]

Yes it should pay us, internet is set up to mine and steal our "wetware" . We all need our own personal AI that we own and control, ideally we will start programming this at a very young age.

[@T3aR3Drop]

Great sorce material.

[@scottgriz]

This is the first time I have heard anyone directly address the fact that humans observe things and build their own training models without having to pay royalties to everyone for everything they view or read. This was always my argument. The AI is just looking at a lot of things and drawing inspiration from it. That said, you should not be able to generate content such as "Make me a movie starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt in the style of Peter Jackson." That would be an obvious violation. As it would if a person created that. But if their movies and content are looked at for inspiration and you want to generate completely new content then that shouldn't be an issue at all.

[@medhurstt]

Why not? There is no copyright on style. I do think people shouldn't be recreated verbatim, that's verging on copyright infringement. I get that if I was Peter Jackson and people were creating lots of stuff in my style then I'd feel hard done by but I also think these concerns are going to be fleeting issues and within a generation or two, real actors could be pretty much gone. We need to be careful we dont put in place a system that ultimately stifles creativity as has happened in the music industry where its a case of successful songs being magnets for suing.

[@RUMBLEGO1]

Residuals === Employee Stock Options?

[@adrianr909]

[@raresmircea]

Great cool chill authentic dude 🤘

[@PaulBrunt]

The challenge with residuals lies in the vacuous nature of artistic ownership. When countless artists draw inspiration from an iconic figure, that style inevitably becomes part of the collective artistic consciousness-even if none of the iconic artist's work directly informed a given model their work is still contained within it.

[@phantomapprentice6749]

This non-artist perspective about style is false , an artist is incapable of truly adopting the style of another because they have a self , This part of themselves that always reflects itself in their works. and the second part of this is a misunderstanding of how artists draw inspiration which is very far removed from how AI (or should I say Machine Learning , since that thing can't actually have critical thinking)

[@PaulBrunt]

​@@phantomapprentice6749 Why is it false? Saying it's false would imply that style must be undefinable, which clearly can't be the case since we can identify an artist by their style. While every artist has their unique style, AI perceives art differently. Think of an artist's style as a deck of cards. Some cards are unique, while others are taken from the decks of other artists'. If an AI has samples from millions of artists, it will be able to recreate the specific deck of a renowned artist, even if it hasn't directly encountered it before.

[@Iophiel]

[@John12050]

I keep hearing these arguments about residuals and other forms of compensation. The same is happening in programming where we have cases to determine if it was fair to have the LLMs trained on all the programming work of others. This is the tip of the iceberg and across all industries, the same problems will be seen as AI gets better. There is no solution that is going to be fair and equitable within our current system. People try to create solutions within the current paradigm because we always try to draw from what we know but the truth is, it is a future we can't currently conceptualise. The whole world will need to be reimagined.

[@Paul_Oz]

great point. I was frustrated by Liv's and Joe's framing of 'the artists vs AI'. When it's just the dollars we are talking about, it's the actors (labor) vs. the people who OWN the AI (capital). Huge technological changes are warping the traditional relations of labor and capital (which already were kind of warped) and everybody is tip-toeing around the fact the preserving all the systems that got us this far are not only untenable, but most likely the end of our species.

[@medhurstt]

Surely residuals should only apply to the actual piece of work the actor worked on. So every time someone watches LoTR and pays, then Elijah Wood might get a residual payment. But perhaps any time someone watches a movie created by a future AI that was trained with LoTR along with literally another billion hours of footage then Elijah Wood shouldn't get anything because the AI created something new even though it was inspired by LoTR in a sense.

[@tteros5998]

"if that AI used a certain artists IP in the training process, that artist should be compensated" I agree. And seeing as how the AI's were trained on the entire works of humanity, past and present... come on now folks, you know this needs to end...
