It's refreshing to hear the possible positive applications of open AI. But the picture is too rosy. And sorry, but what we see so far is not convincing. Who needs an army of 'smart' young people anyway? The last years I have needed PRACTICAL community builders, people with the energy and skills to build eco-houses, artisans, health cooks, biofarmers, down to earth healers ... NOT AI assisted lawyers, videogame designers, or marketeers.

I was one of those people who decided to learn to code in 2019. I wound up getting a job but I got laid off after a year and then was unemployed for 8 months searching for another. Finally decided to give it up after not getting any interviews and I went back to construction/remodeling. There's a small part of me that died when giving up my dream of working as a software developer. I've always worked behind a computer screen and it took me a while to accept the conclusion that it's a bad bet for the future. For me I now find solace in creativity and expressing it in various forms, whether it's through code or writing. In the future, even if writing code is redundant, there will still be people who enjoy doing it for the craftsmanship of building their own software. Just because you enjoy doing something and are passionate about it doesn't mean you have to do it for a living to be happy.

They have massively improved my productivity but I can tell you they are a very very long way off from replacing software engineers. It's one thing getting a chat bot to generate a simple website or app but it's quite another to stitch together a large scale infrastructure with countless modules, integrations, etc. Simply based on the context memory of which LLMs/chatbots have access to (as a factor of compute) we won't be seeing software engineers being replaced for at least 15 years, aside perhaps for some very entry level positions.

Yes, the elephant in the room will be who can access the best Ai. Just like if Ai or Tesla reborn created free energy, okay, but who is allowed to use it. Prohibition was mostly a play at stopping farmers from distilling their own fuel for their tools... Think about that for a minute. Also, leadership is tricky. AI replacing leadership is probably the most immediately obviously spooky thing to have happen. Ai will not be able to replace leaders anytime soon, even if it could, simply because we will not allow it. Propaganda will (and already is) the larger factor. It is truly the Information Wars. You can learn a lot of truth by yourself, but if the incentives, consensus, education, biases, etc all make you the only person who knows or accepts the truth, it wont matter. So by the time a benevolent Ai can tell the world what Politician A is doing wrong, and how to fix it, there will be 10 more drowning it out, new laws passed to get ahead of solutions, companies bought, books burned, and reality changed before the truth can even matter. Sorry for the cynicism. I generally think we'll be okay, but I'm not giving Ai too much credit. Social, cultural, spiritual changes will be much more important to shaping the next generation or two.

I am a Christian school educator and have been for over 30 years. I love and value interacting with students , seeing students' eyes opened when they discover a new principle or learn a new skill or math concept. The discussions we have in class are priceless, dynamic dialogue about challenging topics that are relevant in our society. Students are not thinking as critically as they did even 5 years ago, and they do not know how to communicate with each other as easily due to the extensive use of devices. Without one-on-one interactions with humans there will be no purpose. What is the point of living a life in virtual reality- God didn't create humans to live without purpose. We were created in His image, with the ability to create and think and to communicate. AI is the plan of the enemy to take away that purpose of humanity. It will all end one day.

What I am getting from this is, going forward commercial entertainment will no longer be a place I can expect to experience human expression and art. I'm predicting that a sizable portion of the population is going to completely disassociate from entertainment products altogether. One thing I think gets discounted in the discussion with ai and and art is, what is art actually for? Why do we do art? Why do we like to experience art? Art is a thing we do to communicate ideas from one human to another. If we can no longer be sure that the art we are experiencing is a true human communication it is going to disrupt and damage our ability to evaluate our own culture. To survive this I feel people will reject any form of expression or communication that they know come from ai. Right now I am watching this video and am reasonably sure that I am getting authentic human information from two humans having a conversion, in 4 years I don't think I will be able to make that determination and will probably view the internet as primarily junk information in terms of access to authentic human expression. This more than anything will drive me away from the internet and into a physical public forum.

A lot of people have already completely disassociated from and rejected entertainment products. The majority of people I know have not seen one new theatrical movie in the past year, they only listen to old music, read classic novels. TV/Streaming series seem to be the only thing that are still garnering interest, outside of social media feeds. Humans are doing a horrible job at creating engaging art and entertainment, largely due to the quality of people being spit out by the universities and many other factors. We have created the playing field where computers can easily outperform people. Could a AI make Taxi Driver or Midnight Cowboy, probably not. Could it generate Barbie or a Marvel movie, probably. Art is going the way of religion, being totally irrelevant to the human condition. Younger people can't discern between real and fake, because they won't be able to remember a world of authenticity. It will only be old people who will be driven away and longing for how it was.

AI will need feelings to make genuine art. Art is a translation of feelings. Every joke ever written was fed into ChatGPT and it is still utterly inept at being genuinely funny despite knowing all the formulas. Sure it can make "jokes that work" but nothing that isn't a repurposing of existing joke structures. Because humour, like art is not progressed on doing things that were done before it's progressed by braking the mould. The pattern is that it betrays the pattern. Studying art is only studying past art. And sure it can make infinite remixes but true, new art is an expression of feelings which I'm not sure it has yet or is expected to have in the near future.

[@28lester]

Fundamentally everything that is created is a product of what came before, it physically cannot be otherwise. A child can draw a blue tree, because it knows what blue is, and it knows what a tree is. Also fundamentally, there is an explanation for everything a human creates, and a reason for why certain images evoke certain feelings, and there isn't really anything stopping us teaching this to AI. For example, if I want to convey a feeling of loneliness, I might draw an isolated shape in one area of the canvas, and in the opposite area of the canvas, i might draw a group of different shapes. This would evoke a feeling of separation and loneliness in the human, and is a pretty easy for an AI to learn. A jagged shape might evoke feelings of anxiety. Simple examples but you get the idea. Why people find things funny can also be distilled and taught to an AI, even if right now it sucks. The real thing that AI won't be able to do in the near future, is invent new things that humans might find useful, since it does not feel emotions that lead humans to problem solve. So humans will still have to initiate the input in those cases.

The problem is we live in a capitalist world that is obsessed about profit and private ownership. Instead of this benefiting society, it's going to benefit a small elite group of people and few corporations at the expense of everyone else. The implications are a society that looks more like feudalism, masses of unemployed desperate homeless people begging for scraps from their elite overloads living in glass towers. Except at least in feudalism the peasants were a valuable commodity itself because they provided all the food, in this new world, people won't even be needed (or in very very small numbers) for these once vital jobs. Just like horses during the invention of automobiles, the lower class and middle class working people will be rendered obsolete and unemployed through no fault of their own, but in this case we are talking about human beings, not just horses.

. @-Zevin- ​Personally I would not say that the root of the problem is capitalism but rather the condition of the human heart. The problem with blaming capitalism which is not a system based upon obsessive profit although it is based upon private ownership is that Government or Corporate ownership which are the only alternatives other than a culture where we as human beings realized our divine authorship and no longer lived as a conglomeration of separate beings in competition with each other for all of the things we fear being without. We wouldn't need an economic system if we lived in that way. This of course would be heaven on earth which can only come from our realization of what we really are, the children of God. To think that socialism, fascism, totalitarianism or any other 'ism' would turn out better is an delusion. We are driven by our fears and illusory perceptions of what we are. Without structure we devolve into anarchy or one of the other obviously failed systems of the past. Capitalism among honest people would work fine until we become more realized.

Art and music needs to pivot just like everything else has, and I say this as a musician. A perfect example is chess. A.I. has been able to beat the best human at chess since 1997 and yet, chess has never been more popular. Instead of moping, chess players actively use chess algorithms to improve their game, and they make a living because people don't want to see two chess algorithms play each other, they want to see humans play. There will be a saturation of A.I. content in the arts for sure, but there will still be people who want something that has touched human hands. Art will change, and it will change in ways we can't yet foresee. When photography was invented artists bemoaned it because it was taking their livelihood, and then something came along that no one could predict, surrealism. The majority of grief technology causes comes from people's ability to predict the destruction an invasive technology will have on their life, but not their response to it. People are resilient.

Hey Tom and everyone tuning in! 👋 Just finished listening to this fascinating AI discussion. It's clear that AI is advancing rapidly, and it got me thinking about a crucial aspect we need to consider-teaching AI about the complexities of human governance. As we dive into the AI era, it becomes increasingly important for us to recognize that our world is often influenced and manipulated by a small group of individuals. It's not just about coding algorithms; it's about instilling a sense of awareness in AI systems about the dynamics of power and control that shape our societies. Tom , have you ever thought about exploring this aspect in future podcasts? Understanding and addressing these issues could pave the way for AI that not only learns from data but comprehends the nuances of human society. Moreover, it's crucial to teach AI about diversity and the desire of a significant percentage of people who simply want to live in harmony with nature. Personally, as someone who shares these thoughts, I want to make it clear that I'm not a hypocrite, nor am I against technology and progress. After all, I'm using AI as an assistant here! What are your thoughts, folks? Let's kick off a conversation on how we can guide AI towards a more informed and nuanced understanding of our world. 🌍✨

There are a few people that refuse to use these technologies and they visit the physical bank locations or setup automated payments. There are still services available for them, but that service network is thinning and getting more concentrated constantly. I guess there will be cutoff points and also gradual change when there will be more and more effort required to handle things manually.

There is no reason to expect doom. Similar disruptions did happen during human history. I remember very well when social philosophers predicted that people will retreat into their own imaginary world when video games were invented. To be sure, some people indeed did that, but not the majority. Then when television was invented (I am old enough to remember), it was predicted that the change from participating activities to passive entertainment was harmful and destructive to society. Arguably this did not happen either. Emad talked about harmful effects on malleable minds when it comes to human relationships, especially sexual relationships. But this existed all along, it is called fantasy. Humans always lived a good part of their lives within their own imagination. This is not harmful, unless some brain was really damaged to act out psychopathic fantasies. Now I am in my golden years, I am an electronics engineer and I am up to date on the subject of technology, until just about prior to the advent of AI.

Many are trained to follow orders and keep a low profile. But a few are going to instantly adapt like a duckling first seeing a body of water. What do we do with the fearful majority? How did they assist us with Covid? Did not even know about Vitamin D? Did not do even basic research. Just waited on the CDC😢.

How should it? Medicine still advances rather quickly. Would you really want to make any degree a surgeon earns at university timed? That it runs out after 10 years or something and the surgeon had to go to university again?

It’s amazing how impact theory has gone from inspiring me to be better and giving me real hope in the future, to feeling absolute dread and hopelessness. Skills have utility Tom used to say. Now it seems even skills probably won’t have utility because ai will take over everything. It’s not Toms fault the World is where it is, but this channel now only fills me with existential dread. I think there’s a high chance I’ll be one of the ones that opts out in year 2-6.

[@metothemoon1227]

@splash-qi5kn Hi dear person, very interesting questions. I'm not an expert but from what I've seen, thousands and thousands of people have saved money before going to settle in the mountains, forest ect. Many of them have fitted out a container, or a caravan, or a small chalet, a water recovery system with a cistern. After that you can plant, wash yourself. It's still an investment, but still worth it. Afterwards, I think it depends on whether you want to live there alone or are you going there with your wife. Two is advantageous, always good to have two brains to help each other. Some of them live simply, from their vegetables which they have planted, their chickens which they take care of. etc.

Hi, I'm a senior full stack developer. I want to say that this was a good conversation, but to say in 5 years somebody with 0 knowledge will come and start talking with an AI an create a software product is exaggerated. Let's be clear a programmer with experience will accelerate his work with an AI in 5 years, it will be more efficient. In 5 years somebody with 0 experience will create exactly a html page with 3 buttons and some css and he will not know what he created

[@yogi8490]

Good point

[@Mrfinch9999]

Yeah, AI is pretty overhyped to extreme levels when it comes to software development by people who do not know what they are talking about. Good developers will use AI more for simple code debugging, to look things up way easier, create templates, learn things quicker, etc. Bad developers will over rely on it, but they will quickly fall behind in the long haul as they will become dependent on it and end up creating things they will not fully understand the code of. In 5 years, the AI hype train will die down like the cloud, web 2.0, etc. It is very useful and will lead to great innovations ofc. But every few years we have the new tech fad that everyone exaggerates to "omg we are going to have flying cars in a few years" nonsense and overdramatizations of it. I mean, much of software development is designing the solution that are all very unique and customized to each individual business , not big bang coding or some "make a sort that has x efficiency."

[@ga1actic_muffin]

I'm also a graphics programmer who was laid off at Microsoft games along with 2000 other devs. We were laid off because their proprietary AI is so good, it can do our shader work and C++ by itself with no errors and all it needs is a creative director to guide the prompts of the AI. This AI is unreleased and is not your average chat GPT model, it's so good it's scary. I'm telling you because I saw it first hand, programmers jobs are at extreme risk.

[@HaHa-fn9iq]

um someone with no experience plus current AI models can in minutes learn how to make a page and serve it locally. have you been using it in your day to day? it is already a powerful multiplier for experienced devs.

One of the most influent man in Europe and dangerous zionist. Also if you read his writings, follow his conferences you'll see that he talk about facts: He predicted the arriving of extremist feminism, Wokism since decade, he has speak about transhumanism since decade and that some women (a lot of) will became transhuman quicker than men. He talk about insects robotics that will be used military and to eliminate thoses who are annoying for the government. He talk about how more and more men and women will be far from wedding, and far to fund their own family, cause people (not generalizing) will feel less desire, will feel less empathy. He talk about digital capitalism as well. And the fall of the euro and dollar. I can't tell everything cause it is too long. But the worst part is that Attali want all these things to happening.

I spent 35 years building my career as a software developer. 35 years of hard work, sacrifices, 55 or more hours per week of work. In less than five years I can count on being unemployed and yet still needing to feed, clothe and house my family. All that scrimping and saving for retirement, all my responsible safety net so I wont be a burden on my family in my last years will be spent. I will be an old man competing with thousands of people half my age for the last few tech jobs left. Its not like I could just pick up a new career. Maybe a roofer? Totally unqualified... what a joke. AI will be instant karma for me and people just like me who built the modern digital world and we will deserve every bit of the suffering to come.

Dear Tom and Emad, Thank you very much for this very interesting and intelligent discussion. Alot of food for thought and also some very good insights into how to prepare for future possibilities and perhaps help to swing the pendulum in a positive, humane direction. One other feedback contribution: I have noticed that when talking about the ease of which all of us can now use AI, a reoccuring anology has been, 'even your mum can use it'. With the greatest respect, is it possible that your mums were and are equally intelligent and proactive as yourselves and are at least partly responsible for your own levels of intelligence? I find this tongue in cheek analogy quite patronising, ageist and sexist, to be forthright. I am a mum with 2 adult children your age and seem to spend alot more time learning about AI and other new technologies than not only my own adult, very intelligent, professional progeny, but many of the 30 year olds I know. I was also the first to recognise and warn my family and professional circle of some of the future impacts of Covid, months before it was taken seriously in the UK. So, PLEASE, a bit of respect for mums!

It is interesting to be on the tail end of a career in IT and listening to all the speculation AI will have on jobs for App Developers. I know that a language like COBOL has been around for 60+ years. I also know of how much outdated and splintered code bases exist and there is little incentive to bring it up to date. An App Developer does far more than write code. Yes you can teach AI to write code after you fully explain the criteria for completeness. It is another thing to complete a 3 step process of analyzing the needs of a business requirement, translating that to technical specifications then finally coding that using the best language and architecture available.
