The Rise of Artificial Intelligence | AngelList Confidential 2022

The Rise of Artificial Intelligence session at AngelList Confidential 2022, featuring OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.

[@thearchersb]

Imagine that all of the scientific progress since the beginning of the Enlightenment until now could happen in a year. This is fucking mind blowing. This interview have opened my eyes to the coming era of exponential human technological evolution that will give us unlimited power. Since i have been lucky enough to learn about this early, am really concerned about how i can strategically position myself early enough to take advantage of the potential challenges that will come with this revolution. Challenges like adaptation to rate of change, cost of electricity or chips, and governance, wealth sharing, etc

I did as you suggested with the following prompt: Imagine that all of scientific progress since the beginning of the Enlightenment until now happening in one year with the help of AI. Let me know how fucking mind blowing that would be. Also tell me how AI will bring about exponential technological advancement. Finally, since am lucky enough to learn about this early, give me a step-by-step guide on how can i strategically position myself to take advantage of opportunities AI will bring. I must confess i'm pretty impressed with ChatGPT's thought on these ideas. Try it out yourself and see. You can even play around with the original comment as prompt.

How did Sam keep such a straight face during this interview a few weeks before launching ChatGPT, but not even mentioning the impact it was going to have.

[@jcs184]

I think he didn't realize it before. GPT 3 were mostly discussed by tech people. But ChatGPT was picked up by almost everyone. The output is interesting and so it went viral.

[@MattGarcia]

because you could already chat with GPT3 online and have an almost identical conversation to the ones you can have with ChatGPT only the UX was a bit less user friendly - so probably he couldn't imagine that by just calling it "ChatGPT" and making the UX a bit more user friendly it would go so viral

[@jimbob3823]

@@MattGarcia that's very interesting to know! I bet they asked ChatGPT to recommend way to do that and that was one option... Or maybe it was still when us humans could make such decisions? Either way... Glad they did it as we are truly in the knowledge age now. Intelligence on tap 😊

[@kobi2187]

@@MattGarcia It's not a simple user experience change, you had to craft your prompts and the results were sometimes failing, like repeating text, and you had to ask it to pretend you're such and such, how most likely such a conversation go.. but here this is a different brain, it's smaller and has human beings teaching it, but also more limited, but I argue not in capabilities but only in restrictions, which is a very important step going forward with AI. you can already see the huge potential manifesting, so checking it against the public is a wise decision

[@MattGarcia]

@@kobi2187 True, they tweaked the agent a bit to make it more chat friendly it's not just the UI. But I think the reason why Sam Altman and most people covering Ai didn't see ChatGPT going as viral as it's gone is because the type of functionality it offers was already there via the regular GPT-3 interface even if these tweaks make ChatGPT even more chat friendly. Anyway, once again this shows how important good UI, UX, and simplicity are. Nerds struggle with seizing this, but end-users looove a simple user interface / user experience. Google proved it once with it's "just-a-box" glorious search interface. Apple keeps proving it daily with its simpler-to-use tech. Yet Silicon Valley nerds still often understimate how crucial simple interfaces and experiences are for mass adoption. Kudos to Open Ai!

3:15 the term he is searching for are 'luxury goods', which means that people will pay much more for a similar product for perhaps 'unique characteristics', limited availability etc. For example instead of buying 50 cigars at $20 each purchasing 1 cigar for $1000, or paying an extra $100,000 to get a luxury car that is hand-built instead of factory manufactured.

I am so glad the question of wealth distribution came up in the discussion. Too often when huge change is discussed there is an assumption that present economic structures stay the same; money, employment, investment, stocks and shares and so forth.

[@MichalToporcer]

I am worried dude. We might have it all strong. There is a chance we are not the center of the universe, as we still live in a bit geocentric mind bubble - we think we are the important thing. What if the universe is the important thing, and everything else is growing based on its rules - then it doesn’t matter what we want intellectually, it will all go based on laws of systems and physics. In that case - yeah we are screwed because we will be replaced without social support and redistribution.

Nobody sees that. Time and time again: once some new innovation makes a computer mediocre at something, 2 updates down the line and it’s super human.

This brief 20-minute conversation with Sam highlights several pivotal disruptive elements of #AI and OpenAI's #ChatGPT - the paradigm shift of AI, how cognitive "function" or labor will be subject to AI's incursion (with a trend toward zero cost), changes in capitalism's model of capturing value (and earning a livelihood), the impact of accelerated technological innovation in a highly compressed timescale, and the need to take action. - ...at this point if you just look at the sort of Cambrian explosion of new things being built that are delighting people and getting real significant usage...it seems like AI is the platform that the industry has been waiting for - timestamp 0:45 - ...cognitive labor is going to near zero - timestamp 2:53 - …what happens if you compress everything that is due on the current future trajectory of 500 years into one year? …it’s chaotic for sure and society has a hard time adapting… - timestamp 10:30 - ...just gonna have to think about how we share wealth in a very different way than we have in the past, like the fundamental forces of capitalism and what makes that work break down a little - timestamp 12:04 (also timestamp 14:45) - …how to prepare for this AI world? …just start doing some AI research or just start doing anything in the field…just don’t miss out on this… - timestamp 20:59 A phenomenal interview @AngelList - nicely done. #takeaction

[@netscrooge]

Many important problems were solved years ago. We have the ability to end most suffering; we simply don't have the political will to do it. So how will AGI improve a world such as this? It seems as if it would have to heal us more than inform us. (I don't know. Maybe robot nannies could help us raise less emotionally damaged children?)

[@avivolah9401]

I totally agree with Sam that we need to rethink how wealth is distributed in the age of AI. And The Venus Project, which is a non-profit organization that has been researching and promoting an alternative economic system for decades, has already addressed this issue by proposing a resource-based economy. This system aims to optimize the use of resources for the benefit of all people and environment, and would involve transitioning away from a monetary economic system. It may be a radical idea, but the Venus Project has already done extensive research and planning to make the transition to a resource-based economy a reality. It's definitely worth considering as we look for more equitable and sustainable solutions for the future. Hope Sam takes a look at it!

[@markpandelidis2079]

I think one of the things that A.I may struggle with is individualism. Since it'll mostly be centralized, it won't be able to come up with individual ideas. That may be its limitations. If you know all the information available all at once, how can you act. It's like information paralysis. Decision paralysis.

[@NeverSuspects]

its just going to accelerate the productivity of those who work with computing environments in a general way. people working in technical fields will still have to learn the terms and understand what they want to generate to be assisted with ai productively and able to articulate and vividly describe intent. after you have it develop low cost or free nearly unlimited energy and made the robotics affordable you might see a disruption in capitalism but not before the physical effort and time and focus is disrupted in a massive way when it comes to intended outcome or product of a persons chain of actions and efforts.

[@Kakerate2]

4:00 i like the idea that AIs strengths and weaknesses will help to illustrate our strengths: what makes a human. I wish I had a better example, but atm the best I can think of it being Illogical. When you ask an AI what word a human would say to other humans to convince them that they are a human, AI commonly says "empathy, love" etc. A human that says "poop" is rated as being human much more than any of those words, when judged by a human. When judged by an AI, however, the AI almost certainly thinks it is an AI. Interesting that poop is the foil in this regard lol.

[@willykitheka7618]

...on this one!

[@senju2024]

I feel there will be countries that will reject AGI as so we can keep the current system. Just like driverless AI trucks, even if the tech is out there does not mean humans will adopt it. The current governments still use paper and stamps rather than computers for lots of their data and laws. So I am not too worry about losing my job to AI. Law has to change first before technology can take over and that is not going to happen for a very long time.

[@ShaunHusain]

There will certainly be some places that code or documents required rigorous human review at the very least that said this will probably effect a lot of junior developer jobs and copywriting, as it can be a very useful tool for developers but a version or two down the line or even just fine tuning on the model could result in the elimination of a lot of desk work. Other jobs requiring physical labor/robots will take a bit longer to replace (or higher level decision making)

[@lp712]

You’re very very wrong but it’s okay to try and make yourself feel better using denial.

[@jeffsteyn7174]

The problem is I'm willing to bet there will be more people willing to adopt than not. And those not adopting the new tech will fall by the way side

[@jeffsteyn7174]

@Shaun Husain na this makes juniors better than what they are. It makes everyone better. Using chatgpt I just took 1 day to do something that would normally have taken 3 or 4 days. Use it to augment your skills. Little secret research prompt engineering. The model is so big and has so much knowledge you have to by hyper specific about what you want it to do or answer. BUT that also means that you actually have to understand the industry you in to get the most out of chatgpt. Example if you are an artist you will be able to better describe what you want the ai to create. I for example would not know where to start.

[@ShaunHusain]

@@jeffsteyn7174 For now I think you're mostly right that folks with domain specific knowledge will get the most out of the immediate release, but also as a person who doesn't know how to write code so long as you know the language that needs to be used or are willing to have that conversation with ChatGPT before starting on the project then can still take folks who are basically unskilled and put them into jobs that used to require skill development. Overall I think in the short term it is just like you say a benefit to all of us and will help us to produce more with less grind work but as time goes on the models will need less and less guidance and hand holding and will do more in a single shot/response further reducing the need/demand for the work it can do. As of today we need more people with the skills to develop and debug things so the supply/demand lines aren't going to immediately swing but they will be shifted over time until this type of work is "commoditized".

I don't know what I'm going to do. And I find it incredibly depressing. Of all the things I thought AI would take art last. What are we going to do with all of our free time if everything is automated? What would be the point of learning to draw or making art if AI can do it in one second better than I ever could in a lifetime? You know what I learned to code too and now hilariously. It's doing that better than me too. Any other job suggestions?

Hey Cooper, maybe someone more knowledgeable/experienced will chime in but know that you're not alone first and foremost. Secondly, you already have a good head on your shoulders so just know that during a paradigm shift(like invention printing press, electricity, the iPhone,etc) the solution is always preceded with a small period of uneasiness with getting comfortable to the new normal. You'll survive this, like you have until now, the rest of the "doomsday events".

Hey. I'd say that technology is going to allow us to be "all about the journey". Since AI will do everything better and faster than Humans, necessary goods will become abundant and cheap (especially energy, food, housing, thanks to 3D printing for instance) and people won't be able to find full-time jobs but thanks to this abundance they won't need to, governments will be able to switch to universal income models. Thanks to this, instead of being obligated to produce all day only what few other people need, and of competing with what other people do, we will be able to focus more on doing what we ourselves need ("experiencing" instead of "producing"), on competing with ourselves. Instead of threats, other people will all become potential growth partners, and we will finally be able to act on our innate compassion. In other words we will focus more on inner growth and altruism, it will transform social dynamics, for the better. It's going to require a period of transition of course. That's how I've been seeing the future. Keep your hopes up :D !!

[@BalSimon]

If AI/automation creates everything so that no one has reasonably paying jobs, and if universal basic income is implemented to secure bare minimum survival rather than thriving to the max, who are going to be paying customers for anything AI/automation make? I don't see how capitalism - or any other economic system that considers people to be engines of capital - survives. Things will have to change in really fundamental ways.

[@Eaoleolo]

It actually sounds more like a techno-socialist paradise than a capitalist one. Kai Fu Lee said that UBI as an answer is typical out of touch Silicon Valley optimism, but he doesn't rule it out of the equation. Instead, he proposes to make it part of an stipend people receive for working with the community. I guess we would pass from being consumers to being carers or something similar in that scenario. But yeah, not very capitalistic.

[@BalSimon]

Almost every form of UBI I've read about involves making it so people aren't in poverty. It's not aimed at giving them "the good life." In my book, this doesn't sound all that appealing - and is not optimistic. It is nihilistic - a society that has given up on being creative with ideas that humanize things. Why not have something like Universal Maximizing Wealth, where the economic value of AI/automation is distributed in ways that make everyone wealthier and wealthier in terms of the quality of their lives - the ability to do what they want, when they want, with as little interference from governments or other people as possible? In Alaska, the stipend goes up or down depending on the value of the oil the state sells. That could be a model for distributing the wealth generated by AI/automation. Capitalism should be rendered obsolete by something BETTER. Not something worse.

Maybe it will free us maybe it will just throw the majority to the curb to rot.

The only problem is that the general layer, the one trained on "everything" doesn't learn common sense. Whatever it learns, it's something else. That's the part that needs to evolve. It needs some kind of reinforcement loop where it can see how reasoning about objects, properties, relations can predict outcomes only if done right. Right now, ChatGPT produces failed reasoning in a very professional tone, things that an infant would solve easily.

[@xy_77]

But as a knowledge base it already can compete with Google. In some cases it’s even more efficient than the search system.

[@paulodonovanmusic]

I disagree with what Sam says regarding the idea at 15:43 . He asks „Who gets the excess value“. I think there need not be excess value in terms of profit. The autonomous-business could allow itself to grow as much as it needs to grow and no further, in order to satisfy it‘s directive of making life less painful for humanity. If it detects that a different such autonomous-company might be better placed to fulfill the role, it could sell itself and donate the proceeds automatically to the other bot. Maybe all such bots exist in an orchestrated market with AI gods telling which must grow and which must fold. Of course if I were a successful AI bot, I might say „no, I won‘t fold because everyone loves my user friendly interface, look they even recommend me to their friends.“

it's pretty obvious who gets the excess value.... the usual billionaires like Sam or Bill Gates

vocal fry

[@46positivity]

"create a trillion dollar company" OK, I don't think that could ever work for several reasons. It would need to predict customer preferences and behaviors, which are changing in real time. Also, carry it to its logical conclusion: next guy says create a ten trillion dollar company, guy after that says create a one hundred trillion dollar company, etc. Next guy says create me a company in which I have all the money in the world. I'm all for progress, innovation, technology, but I think he got over his skis with that comment.

I find Sam is a bit hard to listen to when he uses this "low-effort" voice. Seems to happen often but maybe it's just me. EDIT: Apparently is a fad called vocal fry that some people picked up a while back.

intuition, innovation and investigation are the 3 things humans top AI in

[@Shadi_Wajed]

Have you ever heard of AlphaGo and what it did against top human players? The level of intuition and innovation in the moves the AI made to beat the best human players is still unbelievable and incomprehensible to this day, and it was one of the first modern AI models that start the revolution we're living in eight now.

[@SavageStephen]

@@Shadi_Wajed intuition as in, being able to train a model that can have common sense in the way that humans do without having a million different simulation models. What goes on in the mind is beyond our current understanding and deeply beyond profound to what a simple computer can do. Its unheard of.

[@Shadi_Wajed]

@@SavageStephen No it's not beyond our current understanding, the pioneers in AI were actually neuroscientists or at least studied neuroscience and they applied what we know about the brain and it works, we know a lot about the brain and how our minds work, it's a misconception that we don't know much about the brain. Also, why does it matter that the AI model was trained on million different simulation if the result is AI does things better than humans?

[@SavageStephen]

@@Shadi_Wajed well whats going on in the mind thats able to do something intuitively with 0 training data. However the brain is able to do that is deeply profound and complex and no AI scientist has been able to make an algorithm that can do that.

[@Shadi_Wajed]

@@SavageStephen There's no such thing as a mind with 0 data, your environment and your senses since even you're in the womb provide you with great amount of data continuously and your brain is trying to analyze it and recognize the patterns continuously. And from this point forward your brain relies on past experience for reference, What you call a mind is the result of neural networks trained on data provided by all your senses and past experiences.

AI is the best

[@jeffsteyn7174]

Ai can't create something on its own. It still needs to be prompted. Ie you need to tell it what you want it to do. Which means you can use this to augment your current skills. Because you still need to have some understanding of writing to be able to use chatgpt to its fullest. What you need to do is be hyper specific about what you want. The more specific you are the better. Tell it to act as a copywriter and improve the following text. If you understand copywriting or writing in general you will likely be better that describing the tone you want it written in or whatever else only a writer will know. Where I would not be able to give it the instructions to give it that professional touch. I could tell it to act as a copywriter and improve the following text. But mine won't be as good or won't talk to the audience because for example I don't know what tone will work best. So yes It does make my non-existent writing skills way better. But your writing skills will make it even better or more suited to the audience.

[@crazieeez]

In 1850, 62% of the population work to feed the population, in 2022, 50% of the population work to feed the population. AGI can take us to the point that only 30% of the population work to feed the population. I don’t like a socialist society where tax is a way to distribute wealth in society. Too much power given to a central authority. I prefer that the people distribute wealth in society by their own. Policies should be created for the rich to spend faster their wealth so that the poor can make them.

[@netanelaker4437]

In a society where A.I can do everything for humans, rich and poor doesn't make any sense. Heck, money doesn't make any sense and by extension - taxes. Also 50% of the population works to feed the population? Source?

@@netanelaker4437 the labor force in the US is around 160M. US population is around 320M.

@@crazieeez . How the 50% thay doesn't work survive? Are they getting money from the sky?

[@crazieeez]

@@netanelaker4437 people who work feed them. Like your parents work when you were young. For old people, taxation from working populace feed them through social security. And for the indigent, SNAP and many government programs and grants. The greatest danger of taxation and more taxation is the cumulative debt government acquire and the dead weight loss in society. Government gets addicted to debt and will want to tax more causing stagnation aka late stage socialism. Japan experienced 3 lost decades and continued to do so. The United States is entering late stage socialism. Government will want to tax more due to high debt (130%). This will undoubtedly creates stagnation and put a lot of productive people in prison. Happened in Japan. During the fall of Nikkei in the 1990, the Japanese government blamed it on rich people. Japanese government not only increase tax but went on a rampage to lock up productive people in their society creating late stage socialism. The Japanese government never thought for one bit, it was them who caused their economic trouble. The public bought into government propaganda because they have the most money to create them. A government that asks the public for increased tax is a government that’s ready to make a Pol Pot move. A good government is a government advocating for lowering taxes, in fact 0% tax is good, while creating policies to increase money velocity. 3.0 is ideal. Right now it is 1.1. Better yet, government should have a metric. Money velocity 3.0 or the entire government gets a pink slip.

@@netanelaker4437 AI cannot do everything because everything is never determined. Each passing time, there is always a new everything. That is why Karl Marx communism doesn’t make sense. Everything is forever changing because of time.

[@sherrywei9263]

Sam talks a lot of words, yet as if nothing is said. AI can only train data that already exists. When there is a new product that AI does not know anything about it yet, it won't be able to answer any questions to it. You still need people to write about it, either product review or product support cases, etc. Until certain time has passed and there is enough data/information available that AI can catch up. There is a lag. Humans are always needed, you need people to initially generate data, you need a different set of people to collect, process and feed into AI to train. The later part could be labor intensive depending on the nature of the field.

We are just pretending that it doesn't by inventing stuff and jobs, like a store next to a store, next to a store, next to a store in a store town... or bureaucracy-crazy jobs, that aren't producing anything, but we need them, doing most of the time nothing...
