S2E17 Ben Goertzel, Founder and CEO of SingularityNET

Robb and Josh welcome Ben Goertzel for a deep exploration of the narrow AIs we are quickly growing accustomed to and our fraught transition to artificial general intelligence, or singularity.
As the founder and CEO of SingularityNET (singularitynet.io/), Ben has been working to democratize access to artificial intelligence through decentralization. He's also a leader of both the OpenCog Foundation (opencog.org/) and the AGI Society (agi-society.org/), having helped to popularize the term 'artificial general intelligence'.
Topics in this episode include balancing design near-term design concerns-like anthropomorphization-against more consequential issues, such as who will control these systems and how they will interact with humanity.
Join Robb Wilson and Josh Tyson, authors of Age Of Invisible Machines (onereach.ai/invisiblemachines/), as they continue the conversations that began in their book-the first bestseller about conversational AI.
As the CEO and co-founder OneReach.ai (onereach.ai/), Robb Wilson has been envisioning and working toward the moment we’re in with ChatGPT, generative tools, and AI agents for more than a decade.
Invisible Machines features weekly conversations with leading thinkers and doers that give listeners an inside edge with these revolutionary technologies.

Elder Goertzel 💯🧙‍♂️ what I mean is there's always so much wisdom out of this guy. He's good for the planet. Thanks for the talk!

[@MarkMichon7]

In a conversation about him with my sister earlier, I said that if he was alive 1000 years ago, he'd be the court wizard.

Ben's positivity is so super extraordinarily amazing I can get solved in his point of view thanks for making this available for the world to watch & learn 😄I do really appreciate such informative videos

Decentralised AI enabled through blockchain technology in the sense that dr Ben’s Singularity net is providing fruitful soil for is the way toward a safe (constructive rather than destructive) future. Thank you for doing good things dr Goertzel ♥️ and thank you for sharing your thoughts 🙏🏻

Spok was a living being it’s all great to be ambitious but we should precede with caution not prelude an outcome.

[@user-oc6wv4gj1j]

An API, or application programming interface, is a set of protocols that allow two or more software platforms to "talk" to each other. A web3 API is the same thing but with the added power to also “talk” to the blockchain simultaneously.

One problem that Cardano developers saw with hard forks was that after a hard fork was agreed upon, there would still be a considerable segment of the community that did not switch over to the new version.

[@Self-Duality]

Nice interview! Out of curiosity, how did you get a hold of Ben?

[@user-oc6wv4gj1j]

EVM stands for Ethereum virtual machine. The Cardano EVM sidechain is EVM-compatible, which means deploying your Ethereum applications is just a matter of deploying your Solidity code on the sidechain and interacting with it through the Web3 API.

[@tekboi1984]

I really like Ben. He's definitely a dreamer.

[@stevedavis1437]

2 second jump cuts... generated video?

[@Mynestrone]

52:00 thats a good movie!

[@yoyo-jc5qg]

Thanks to LLM's we will all be talking to our computers very very soon 🤭

[@SonOfTamriel]

If a marijuana plant could talk, it'd be Ben Goertzel. Great thinker and pioneer

[@StephenPaulKing]

Why are we so willing to think of ourselves as a problem for others?

[@iswm]

because the people pursuing this technology are deeply flawed individuals.

[@iswm]

I don't see this as a person who should be lionized. Guy has some screws loose.

[@Ena-ck3kb]

What does Ben Goertzel know about Hallucinations! 🤣

[@hydraxx-ev3ve]

Everything.

[@silberlinie]

Ist Ben noch relevant heute?

[@L0Ll0lfly]

Yes, Ben is very relevant 😊 SingularityNET is also not bad but Sophia is a citizen of a country so there are no boundaries to AI going AGI soon....

[@silberlinie]

@@L0Ll0lfly Yes I know, Sophia is a citizen of Saudi Arabian. The upcoming AGI will take this as an example and also demand these rights for themselves. Here in the EU, they will fight in vain for citizenship. I just hope that we don't make them too angry.

lots of hype and wishful thinking here - little evidence or big investment which says a lot - ai will continue to develop over the next 5-10 years - it is going to take that long for the hw and sw to catch up and empower the masses with open source ai, once that happens we should see more economies of scale - people's predictions for the future are notoriously bad and this talk is no exception. super agi will not be universally distributed - it will be too valuable
