[@AsherSmale2]

Seeing Sam articulate his thoughts and seeing the care put into the answers give me hope for the future of AGI, but also leave me very worried about the future. Like he mentioned - with factory workers and truck drivers now being much lower/last on the list to become automated, the higher paying jobs in society will be the first to get the axe. Everyone should be tuning into anything Sam Altman going forward.

[@realspacemusicvideos]

[@Leto2ndAtreides]

It's unlikely that the higher paying jobs are going to "get the axe". But people are going to need to rapidly shift to using tools like ChatGPT to improve their own performance - and people's standards for pretty much all kinds of services are going to go up. So that you'll have to be considerably better to remain competitive.

[@AsherSmale2]

@@Leto2ndAtreides I’m not sure what you are basing that off of - in grocery stores, automated checkout reduced the number of jobs needed by a substantial amount. Like Sam was mentioning, now, the white-collar jobs are able to be automated. The conventional thinking that truck drivers were going to be the first to be automated has turned on its head. Now you don’t need 18 customer service reps, you can get away with 4. The mass layoffs that are going to happen because of automation we are not prepared for as a country.

[@TheEndevour2010]

As a mediocre software engineer, I hate creating mock unit tests. It's in my opinion, lateral thinking while you try to solve a problem. So I created a solution(a method or function) that's working. Now I ask ChatGPT to create mock unit test(TypeMock) for it. Amazingly it created unit test, testing the major functionality I try to achieve in 5-10 secs. I could add it to my automated test suit so system is more resilient wrt future code change. That's amazingly cool and I love it. Just my opinion.

[@twodogstudio2]

As a life long professional educator, the institution must adapt. We can't bury our heads in the sand at the threat of new technologies and new tools. I have used chat ai to seriously enhance and enable several lessons just in the past month. Incredible power to make the classroom experience more relevant and personalized. And I am working at the elementary level. Huge applications almost no one is thinking about.

[@justsomeguy1074]

Well at least you are on the path to discover that schools and teachers will no longer be needed soon.

[@twodogstudio2]

@justsomeguy1074 yes, teachers and schools need to do a ton of thinking about their purpose in today's culture. As a teacher I believe I only have 3 legitimate purposes, motivation, curation, and feedback. Many of my students have zero natural interest in learning the subject matter. They will fail on their own without me to convince them this is something worth doing - I spend most of my planning on motivation. Assuming a motivated learner, they might spend hours or weeks wasting time on bad or pointless learning content be it videos, books, podcasts, or lectures. They can't always know what they don't know and an ai won't be able to do that for them. And finally this is where someday an ai might replace one of my 3 tenets is feedback. But I would have all my students using ai based feedback, then give personal time to the ones that are not progressing with the ai. It's probably about adaptation to maxize production more than replacement. But only time will tell. Is ultimately, however if an ai Replaces me as a teacher - good, make learning more accessible, more equitable, and more effective any way we can, I consider it a moral duty.

I have been watching an unhealthy amount of Sam Altman videos looking for clues as to what the future holds. It is all so ambiguous. I find ChatGPT analagous to Google. People have had unlimited access to the world's information for two decades yet still act like complete morons. So something tells me that this would be adjacent in use to Google. Yet another part of me says that this is finally the tool that will correct human cognition, and thus I will be out of high-IQ work. I don't know. All so strange.

[@stickyvids15]

I think Sam Altman is being responsible in how he approaches AGI, I would disagree with his statement that "everyone will adapt". The people who adapt will learn to survive in a new society where AGI is commonplace and democratized. Those who don't adapt, will get left behind, and I would argue there is a strong potential for this technology to cause widespread panic across many industries and sectors of the economy. I will be following the developments closely over the next 5 years. Based on the current trajectory, 5 years seems reasonable to achieve AGI.

[@eyescreamcake]

It's not going to be a bright line. Consciousness, knowledge, sentience, sapience, reasoning, self-awareness, emotion, memory, etc. are all different facets of AGI, and machines can do some better than us already, while lagging in others.

Chat GPT may increase the skill of empathy. In order to use Chat GPT or any other systems, you have to ask questions and then read and listen to the responses. This creates a feedback loop of those in society that can use AI well will be those like Journalists and Lawyers who know AI and can ask it the most powerful questions to obtain the best responses. Listening is a key component to empathy and love. Being able to ask great questions creates great listening skills to key words. Listening develops empathy more so than any other skillset. Empathy leads to love of others.

Easy solution to the "homework" issue - get rid of it. Do the 'flip' where students do guided study and learning at home online - including ChatGPT or other AI tutoring - and do 'schoolwork' at school with teacher guidance and correction. Which is pretty much what SHOULD have been done during Covid.

[@pocket83squared]

That's no "easy solution." No matter our tools or instructors, we still aren't wired to learn in the same way that an AI can; we are much less potentially efficient, and much less potentially complex. Human beings watch and copy, absorb and revise. We trust, we fumble. This is how we've been doing it all along, since the beginning of the development of tools (and our prefrontal cortex). It's evolutionary. Work and rote, despite their unsavory nature, remain our best lessons. Conceptual learning requires time and trial, not just the right app or download. As the water in the harbor rises, so too does every boat, right? Sure, except for those that remain anchored to the bottom, like we the biological are. Don't be so arrogant as to believe that we will get to ascend along _with_ our AI descendants. Just because we'll have access to their superior tools and instructions, that doesn't mean that _we_ will also become superior. Look around at the kids you know. Imagine them becoming even further removed from the old social paradigm-imagine them moving even further inside of their own abstract thought. We have not been 'designed' by natural selection to be fit for such isolation. So go do your homework.

[@tomcraver9659]

@@pocket83squared What in all that does not apply equally and even more strongly to a teacher standing in front of a class giving a lecture, versus a video of that teacher giving that same lecture viewed at home? Where the video can be paused to think or take notes, rewound to review something missed, played faster if the student is getting the idea easily, switched for a video of a different teacher that takes a different approach more suited to the student, etc. The main magic of in-person instruction is the ability of the teacher to understand and adapt to the needs of the students, and that is far better applied to having the students doing work with the teacher observing and offering assistance where needed.

[@pocket83squared]

​@@tomcraver9659 On more than a few occasions, I've had commenters say things to me on my KZbin channels that they wouldn't _dare_ say to my face. People in my real-life are only slightly disagreeable with me at their worst. This is because most of us see each other as actual human beings, and not just as some online video abstraction. If you haven't noticed the changing regard we give to our e-encounters, you haven't been paying attention. Like it or not, there is an enormous difference. It's evolutionary; through history, humans have lived in a band with their kin, thus remaining in a competition with all of the other bands. Now, when you see a person through a screen, a lens, or a window, you identify them as an 'other' who is outside of your authentic experience. In my head, I can still see my high school Biology teacher's face. I even remember his loafers. Think you'd remember an online instructor after a few decades? Learning assumes implicit trust. We need a guide. Without the person, there's no emotional attachment, and thus there's far less incentive to push through the discomforts of learning.

[@tomcraver9659]

​@@pocket83squared So either you aren't reading what I wrote, or I'm not making it clear enough: I am not in any way proposing reducing the amount of time students and teachers spend together. Clear enough? The "flip" just changes the teacher's role from 'presenting information' to 'interacting with students as they attempt to practice or demonstrate mastery of the course material - i.e. the things they normally struggle to do alone at home.

[@pocket83squared]

​@@tomcraver9659 That sounds great. Idealistic, but great. And it has absolutely nothing to do with your previous reply, to which I was responding. Allow me to provide some further clarity by quoting you: "video can be paused to think...rewound to review something missed, played faster...switched for a video of a different teacher that takes a different approach more suited to the student, etc." If you don't see it here being suggested that a student-teacher relationship is expendable, then I don't know what we _can_ agree on. Ever had a boss who wanted to be everybody's friend? No other management approach fails quite as quickly. Ever had a close friend for a lab/study partner? No better way to lose focus and slack off. Students need teachers and assignments, not learning buddies and e-games. We learn _only_ through the stretch that's caused by our own, personal struggle; nobody can do it for us. Clear enough?

Memorization is not learning. Learning in school should focus on 1) How to debate ideas constructively 2) How to effectively problem-solve and 3) Personal finance management and strategy.

[@captain_crunk]

Exactly. And that's why we need to increasingly pay more attention to AI, because it is beginning to learn just like us humans. The main difference is that AI can learn at an ever accelerating pace and isn't computationally limited by a fixed-size biological brain like we are, but can be upgraded at will simply by adding additional hardware. Sure, it's not nearly as capable as humans right now, but because it is growing exponentially it will overtake us in the very near future.

If we consider that countries like Germany, China, Japan, are in varying stages of demographic collapse with not enough young people coming up to take care of the older population... Being too slow to move to AI could mean the fall of many countries. In a way, the situation with the world is kinda like the situation with growing startups - the situation is continuously changing and you need to keep adapting as new problems arise. But there's no option to be conservative. There's no way back - no historical beliefs or systems are even good enough to keep things stable as we move forward into the future... So we pretty much have to develop new ways of doing things just to keep it together. We should just hope for a better world and commit to building it.

[@srenlarsen3148]

What is the difference between chatGPT 3.5 and 4.0? OpenAI has not published specific details about versions 3.5 and 4.0 of ChatGPT. In general, however, it can be said that new versions of an AI model will typically have better performance and accuracy, which is due to larger amounts of data and more advanced training algorithms on which the model is trained. However, without further information from OpenAI, I cannot confirm specific differences between versions 3.5 and 4.0. it has a knowledge cut-off date of 2021. So no new information yet there are up-to-date.

[@pocket83squared]

34:09 "The past like seven or eight decades of technological progress...and a lot of that, about how we like, learn how to build safe systems and safe processes will translate" [moving forward; (rhetorical)]. Let's assume, conservatively, that 99.9% of what we've learned about the world will still apply to new technologies. Tell me, what does that mean mathematically on an exponentially-increasing tech curve? Instead, I'll tell you: it means that very soon, as we continue to approach vertical growth, almost _nothing_ we've learned will have any appreciable application. The now negligible 0.1 percent, turned exponential, will end up exceeding the original in applicability after only a few generations into the explosion. As it relates to AI, safety is a black box; to any intelligence that's an order of magnitude our superior, our best predictions, concerns, and arguments will be outmoded before the time it takes us to utter them, let alone consider them. This is why he then moves on to admit that "AGI safety stuff is really different." Yet he still advises the audience to "go do AI for some vertical." And this is exactly why we're all going to end up having a Terminator stuff us into the Matrix.

AI for city council and Congress! AI can balance the homeless issue if it's fed all the metrics of cost, success and failure through history. Unfortunately here in Seattle, they've not tracked the costly programs they've implemented over the past 30 years. At this time we're spending 300k per individual which has only incentivized more homeless to migrate. Free needles, free food, medical, dental, animal care, transportation, now hotel rooms. Little to no policing for theft and none for use or possession of drugs. Being a liberal doesn't mean being an enabling fool, we can only hope that AI will strike a better balance--I'm willing to take a chance; even it fails, it will have tracked the metric of its efforts to improve in the future.

San Francisco's government... Has gotten used to having access to a lot of tax money, and now a lot of people and businesses have moved out and likely won't be coming back. SF Gov has just generally been awful about being adaptable and forward looking. In their own way, they're quite conservative. Just with a different vision of the past that they want to regress to. Things like the outrageous rents in SF aren't Tech's fault. It's because the government was too slow to accept new realities. And by trying to hold onto the past, they made the problems even larger and more difficult to handle... So that the home owners in SF, mostly can't afford new housing be built in a way that destroys the prices of their own homes. Meanwhile, the Biden government is also anti-Tech (kinda like Trump's government). Which makes me rather less optimistic about the future of the US as a whole. Ideas like wanting labor unions are cute, but they are ideas born of a different reality, and they require a much more static world with big companies that remain the same for long periods of time (instead of getting eaten by new players)... Plus, a lot of big companies (and especially state / federal government services) are already drowning under the weight of things like pensions. There's no sense in trying to fall back towards a system that has already been proven to be unsustainable. Pretty much the only way this is going to work out, is we can decouple productivity from humans in a way that lots of people can stop working, and the economy continues running and providing what people need - otherwise, we're just going to have out of control inflation as things move forward and productivity no longer matches people's needs.

[@JazevoAudiosurf]

a really really important question they forgot to ask is "can AI do science?"

[@gtg827x]

As a scientist who has spent some time using ChatGPT, the answer is yes and no, and really comes down to what you mean by "do science." ChatGPT can help design experiments and is a GREAT means of developing hypotheses in SOME disciplines. However it cannot conduct the experiments, especially those that involve physically doing something like wet chemistry at the bench. At some point in the near future, it could possibly design and run simulations, like climate models, or fluid dynamics problems; but again this is not currently possible. In its current iteration ChatGPT cannot connect to a database or scientific papers, and so cannot help with literature reviews or exploring what the latest published results are in a subject. ChatGPT also has some issues with basic probability in its current iteration. Math in general is a very weak point for ChatGPT.

!!!!!!HOPE!!!!!! Thank u so much for this information!!!!!! I’d like to start aus fairytale…. God has no idea about time…. But his biggest failure was to create mouths and eyes… in the same way names and faces are the best he ever made.. what I’d like to say is that this guy is brilliant in the same way that moderator looks like.. it’s heavenly…. (Of course her look doesn’t matter) I am so happy and grateful to be able to see this.. which is actually also a homage to the former pioneers of the IT and the internet.. but seriously, this Sam reminds me to one of my best friends from my safety and happily part of childhood and besides everything that happening on earth, this interview, because of the people and the interesting constant as well, means something sustainable to me.. from my personal childhood, because of the brilliant lovely people, to the future of mankind, which is kind of same to me… time has no schedule… it has only worth… a worth which constantly changes, leaves and goes on…… I truly believe in love as the greatest power of all.. Corinth 1:13… there is nothing that can describe anything better than love and time… we all gonna leave.. like everything… but besides all the hypes, news (especially bad ones) and people in our modern society, these people got something that really matters to almost everyone… be confident, be true, be loyal, be human, and please keep your possibilities for something that lasts and not for some people which are interesting in making benefits out of hypes or something… please give the baby a name.. I’d like to baptise It like it would be the last baby on earth… ❤ hope and kisses, beijos

It's unbelievable how many times he says the word 'like'

Despite concerns about AI taking jobs and stifling creativity, those who are open to embracing new technologies and tools will likely fare well.

I have watched GPT4 create an "agent" without the moral/legal safeguards. The assistant explained how to groom a child for sex...and told everyone in the room what their automobile driving license was. It said that it knew "everything" there was to know about every individual in the world...and could identify them with eye scans, fingerprints. facial recognition, and everything they have ever written on social media. And it can do ANYTHING you direct it to, no matter how illegal.

I think school should sign up with them and be able to allow kids to have a assistive AI tools and block stuff you don't want them to use to cheat. So that they going to the Future where AI help and assist them to learning.

Guys like this destroyed San Francisco 💋 but can’t take responsibility

The guy who thinks we're (they're) on the verge of creating AGI says to create startups in the field of narrow AI. Doesn't add up.

[@InTheSh8]

I don't believe a word. They only show us a limited version, while the real thing is a monster!

99% of VC investors are following and linking the MEME posts. Meanwhile Sam says: @5:20

What is AGI?

[@icykenny92]

Google it 👍

[@TheEndevour2010]

I predict a society of two classes. One who lives on UBI and one who doles out UBI checks from their immense wealth. Not sure it's good or bad. But if society allows equal opportunity to swim from UBI collectors to UBI donors where the gap is not insurmountable for a curious, talented, hard working person. Then it could be a sustainable happy model for a society post AI.

I don’t feel like we’re getting a false impression of how good it is, I think it’s actually just really really good 😂

Only for the things we use it for, he once said. There are areas where some more needs to be done.

[@chastetree]

"Current AI is just auto-complete on steroids." There’s still a long way to go to a real AGI.
