Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt on AI, China and the future

[@Scienceoflife10]

Eric Schmidt puts it very sweetly. In other words, the world has become a big stadium and we are in the final watching to see who will win the trophy. And when the nonsense is over, we will congratulate the winner and live happily ever after.

[@firstresponderrealtor]

She should have had more respect. Title of book. Mic issues and not muting. Respect Eric.

[@gaminglikeapro2104]

Eric Schmidt seeing the writing on the wall. The idea that you can somehow call yourself a "free" democratic country then resort to protectionism is disgraceful and more importantly will not work. As of today, most of the advanced models are from China bar a few in language (LLMs) and that will definitely change. The US is already behind in AI and the gap will only grow and that even with the US sucking all the global talent to their shores until the Dollar collapses & Civil War kicks in that is. You only have to see the changes made in 2024, staggering improvements by China. The biggest losers as usual will be the Europeans but then again that was always the case as they tend to let their mostly unelected politicians get away with anything.

There will be a quantum leap in human consciousness. The development of AI can no longer be stopped and will revolutionise the world. Everything that is happening in the world today will force all countries in the world, without exception, to live as peaceful neighbours!

[@stofjes4204]

Which models? It's simply not true. Why is protectionism a problem? China is not democratic so you can do whatever the hell you wanna do.

[@passby8070]

Well said 👏

[@senju2024]

Interesting. He releases a new book called GENESIS and Google releases a new AI physic engine called GENESIS. Any connection?

[@zacharygray3078]

merely a coincidence

[@sreenivasamadenahall]

Good points. However, it is fight between two imperialisms - US/ West vs. Chinese. Words like democracy, socialisms are just facade / cover for selfish goals !

[@olliep7786]

Whats the painting or text in Eric's background ? Anyone?

[@MichaelMeyers-v6x]

The U.S. should be recruiting top scientists from around the world, and give them work visas. Everyone in the world wants to live in California, and the gating factor in technological growth is Chief Software Architects. The more of them, the more high paying tech jobs for Americans, and the better chance of beating China in the A.I. race.

[@travcat756]

The AI race is like the space race. It gets our competitive juices going. It gives us focus

[@MB2010-l5z]

Well, first we should try to understand which kind of democracy wins over authoritarian regimes. Because the imposed democracy of America, as the word implies, it seems, to me, very authoritarian. Democracy that wins over autocracy must not be an excuse to just create a conflict or destabilize a region of the world because some countries are not aligned with America. Even though I believe that democracy does not exist anymore.

[@SD_1212-k1d]

As long as these machine learning algorithms dont take a bias decisions its good to go and explore.but the moment they will start taking bias descision it will be desater in human history kindly take a note of it

[@MichaelMeyers-v6x]

Also: the founders of Google, Nvidia and Tesla were all immigrants. (That’s three of the seven most valuable companies in the world) More please.

[@MichaelMeyers-v6x]

Also the CEO of Microsoft is also an immigrant.

Mungkin tidak ada yang rumit di dunia ini jika semua. Sistematika nya disusun rapi dan terpilah pilah sesuai kaidahnya

[@peterabild1123]

Very interesting indeed

[@mountainpeakcreations2964]

The premise of weakness is inaccurate. Considering warfare at this juncture would be a gross underestimation of the paramount importance of peace transcending artificial geopolitical boundaries. It is imperative that individuals cultivate the ability to observe their thoughts objectively rather than identifying with them. While the capabilities of AI may exceed the comprehension of some, it fundamentally represents a collective intelligence analogous to the holographic principle. Furthermore, it constitutes a singularity impervious to expansion or contraction.

[@happy-wave-form]

how to use AI to mitigate the trade conflicts between the two super powers? ask AI

[@elliptictree]

Interesting

[@lv9657]

Another BS.

[@exclusive_148]

people keep talking about hype but its not just schmit talking about this stuff. Its multiple people. Are you going to say that just ALL tech ceo's and high level people are all purposely trying to hype things including elon musk?

[@spvlinn9009]

We will a biggest AI bubble burst coming…

[@SyrinxArcadianNymph]

could be. Keeping the hype high helps allocate economic resources, public attention and receive more funding (public or private) towards them and the projects they work on. AGI and then superintelligence, according to their predictions, should happen in a few years (2027 arrival of AGI, maximum 2029) We'll see... just a few years left.

Hope google won't betray united state 😮

[@Innoodrr]

Morning

[@stofjes4204]

it's 8:20 now in Holland. Morning sir

[@abdullahhazari918]

Men where are those materials and drugs ?? Alfafold made this 2 years ago and there is no efect !!! Nothing there 😢😢😢

[@mountainpeakcreations2964]

This is coming my friend.

[@hardheadjarhead]

It would make sense that a news outlet owned by a tech billionaire would have a feature about another tech billionaire who is hyping tech.

[@ruzicaudovicic5802]

You created AI in your own image. If you had created it in God's image, Jesus' image, and Truth, we wouldn't be in trouble: John 3:16-18.

Transmutation of Metals: The most famous alchemical pursuit was the transmutation of base metals like lead into precious metals like gold. This was believed to be achievable through a mysterious substance known as the Philosopher's Stone. Will AI, Man on Mars, EVs, Fusion Power,Neuralink, Bitcoin, Quantum Computing etc turn out the same….. But a dream?

[@1923825]

AI has already changed many domains and is still expanding its impact.

[@maxthemagition]

@@1923825 Another money making machine for some for sure. But persomally I have seen no benefit to me as an individual so far. It may end up, of course, costing me one way or the other. Inflation is upon us and debt is mountainous. It is estimated that the cost of putting a man on Mars for example, will be around $60Trillion. One must ask who will benefit and who will pay for this grand adventure? The bottom line is that Joe Public will have been suckered well and truly.
