Why The Singularity May Merge Humans And Machines: Nouriel Roubini

AI may work with the human brain to enhance human intelligence, says New York University Professor Emeritus of Economics and International Business Nouriel Roubini. In this episode of "The Bottom Line," Roubini explains how economists think about the singularity, why strict but open immigration policy will increase growth and innovation and why environmental claims about net zero are inaccurate.

Why The Singularity May Merge Humans And Machines: Nouriel Roubini

[@tvm73836]

Professor is a good example of Artificial Intelligence.

[@samboggs3499]

😂😅😂😂😂...LOL......

[@kennethadler7380]

Yeah i want to become like a Ghost in the shell character

[@Scott4271]

How much do you depend on your cell phone? We have already started down the road towards singularity.

[@karenzipern6892]

excellent interview on a very complex topic, really helped me better understand AI

[@MokeAnit]

You know we are really close to AGI when CNBC is talking about the technological singularity

[@Yang_Mulia]

only for rich people, poor people will keep struggling like in cyberpunk

[@nomadv7860]

yes bro cyberpunk is literally real life! I also get all my predictions about the future from current fiction!

[@venkat4167]

We will reach a point where tech improvement will no longer be necessary and with machines doing the work.

[@SinclairA]

- How general you want it? - Yes.

[@benardpatrick9482]

stocks are pretty unstable at the moment, but if you do the right math, you should be just fine. Bloomberg and other finance media have been recording cases of folks gaining over 250k just in a matter of weeks/couple months, so I think there are alot of wealth transfer in this downtime if you know where to look.

[@thanyalakbandatang-lh7cz]

Since the crash, I've been in the red. I’m playing the long term game, so I'm not too worried but Jim Cramer mentioned there are still a lot of great opportunities, though stocks has been down a lot. I also heard news of a guy that made $250k from about $110k since the crash and I would really look to know how to go about this.

[@justinajoshua9369]

There are actually a lot of ways to make high yields in a crisis, but such trades are best done under the supervision of Financial advisor.

[@Aviator526]

A video about you guys!

[@squibbelsmcjohnson]

Bots

[@johnstifter]

What would be the reason to Tax the robots? If the goverments by that point would own and buy those very robots and AI which that would collapse intermediaries and consolidate agencies to leaner more nimble systems?

[@stennetmang]

how did china soot itself on the foot?on what base did you come up with??

[@jackshrader4161]

Mr Doom who stated years ago the Bitcoin was a bad investment.

[@TheVRtist]

More taxes to be paid by the companies using AI!! The world is great, until the AI devises a way to not or pay less taxes 😂

[@billfrehe6620]

People who know anything about the singularity know that the merger of humans and machines has been discussed for a good three decades now. Nouriel Roubini probably just read about it recently and is regurgitating what someone else said. He's wildly behind the curve.

[@SamanthaWilliam-xq8sl]

My adviser is "Brenda Leigh Van" She was recommended by my colleague. She has years of financial market experience and She is also FINRA & SEC verifiable.

[@BP-vr3rt]

Rubini did not predict the 2008 financial meltdown, only Mike Stathis did, and Stathis put it in a book to short Fannie and Freddie. Nobody in the world made that call.

[@user-to2gh7sg3l]

I think they've already merged.... What could be an interesting topic is about as inspiring as a digital tire gauge or doing taxes...

[@Omikoshi78]

2:06 Is that an 👀tattoo on his back neck? 😂

[@Sanyu-Tumusiime]

not interested in becoming a machine. i kinda like how i am.

[@groob33]

You are already a machine.

[@vitaliyx8664]

Just a biorobot. Every cell in the body is a tiny factory

[@SoraFan23]

If humans become macines does that mean we no longer die and we can live forever? That would just not make much sense.

[@aaronjennings8385]

Human lifespan has a maximum term unless we fully exploit consciousness technology. Which doesn't exist at this address in spacetime. AI is a step in the direction of immortality.

[@DavidBledsoe478]

MOST rich people stay rich by spending like the poor and investing without stopping then most poor people stay poor by spending like the rich yet not investing like the rich but impressing them

[@ToshiaJohnson883]

People prefer to spend money on liabilities, Rather than investing in assets and be very profitable.

[@DavidGulledge411]

This is very true. How many wealthy people or billionaires became wealthy by wages and salaries or by saving in a bank account? You don't even know one right

[@Staceysarros110]

Even with the economic recession or downturn, I'm so happy I've been earning $60,000 returns from my $12,000 investment on Short term

[@SamanthaWilliam-xq8sl]

Sounds good😊How do you do that? I'm interested, how do I go about getting started?

[@Staceysarros110]

My adviser is "Brenda Leigh Van" She was recommended by my colleague. She has years of financial market experience and She is also FINRA & SEC verifiable.

[@igbatious]

why are your videos' audio always so bad?

[@kennethdorothy5401]

I see the rising interest rate as a very big problem, as more investors will definitely pull out more money from the Stock market, Bitcoin and forex. This might have worked when I was still invest-ing with a couple thousand dollars, but it is more difficult now to decide whether to pull out more than $365k from my port-folio. I know some inves-tors still make that despite the strong bear market. In wish I could pull that feat

[@Olivia-sz8xe]

I think the whole thing about holding stocks for long term will always apply. So I think you should get a quality broker who is able to analyze and pick stocks that will do well in the long term, else you will be in a long bear ride.

[@Olivia-sz8xe]

You have a very valid point, I started investing on my own and for a long time, the market was really ripping me off. I decided to hire a broker, even though I was skeptical at first, and I beat the market by more than 9%. I thought it was a fluke until it happened two years in a row, and so I’ve been sticking to investing via an analyst.

[@jacksonjohnwilliams]

​@@Olivia-sz8xeThis sound interesting. I’m not really one to use pro analysts, but I guess it would not hurt to try one. My portfolio is in the red waters right now

[@kennethdorothy5401]

​@@jacksonjohnwilliamsCredits to *Jackson Sten Marsh*, one of the best portfolio manager;s out there. he;s well known, you should look his up.

[@jacksonjohnwilliams]

I just looked up Jackson Sten Marsh by his full name online and researched his accreditation. He seem very proficient, I wrote him detailing my Fin-market goals and scheduled a call.

[@lucansanchez5129]

A lot of talk about jobs but not the effect jobs have on the progress for work industry.

[@the_notorious_bas]

He isn't saying that much more than what I've already heard before.

[@jerryspringer6096]

already a cyborg. by typing on your machine, you have become somewhat part of it/reliant

[@jtgd]

I am a future cyborg. I have commented to identify and hunt the defective and dangerous original models for the safety of life!

[@MichaelAng-mg6qr]

“Will humans reach singularity?” Unfortunately…. No… at least not for now.

[@Bakapooru]

Neon Genesis Evangelion? Shinji? Are you there?

[@pauldannelachica2388]

There are tons of opportunity of jobs in space economy building habitat in orbit Radiation hardening equipment new materials in a zero g lunar mining and colonization space and earth data etc. Hope US government help the space economy prosper for technology supremacy against every enemy

[@dalesnider8040]

Probably, though to make carbon based humans compete against a silicon based life form, start making computers out of carbon, and humans less fragile.

[@jimv77]

Sorry...but we are all attached to our devices 24/7......it has already begun years ago.....

[@gracefreshfoodsministries.9634]

Our dear precious souls, how much more loss of life and destruction by the crea ture Luck ifer you want to see before you can give up your ignorance, haughtiness, and arrogance? If you still want to harden your heart, then please wait till those in power under "that crea ture" that rules this world removes many many of us very very soon, irrespective of our religion (Oh God forbid). We hope and pray that you are not removed. Spirituality is the personal relationship with your longsuffering, merciful, forgiving Creator. It is not religion which to most of them just some set of rules and regulations. I did not like religion because I was loving my filthy sins and yet thought like a fool that I was a good person. Please humble yourself and consider these truths. This is a plea from your fellow human being who does not want you to burn in the fire forever and ever. You choose whether you want to be fooled by the crea ture or be saved from hell by your loving Creator. We love you dear fellow human.

[@albionicamerican8806]

People laugh at the transhumanists now, but wait until an enhanced women goes into the mountains and creates an ice castle with her cryokinetic superpowers.

[@Scott4271]

Yes we will be sky net and it will be us

[@Nht375]

People aren’t against immigration they’re against illegal immigration , open borders.

[@comfortablesofa]

The guy who couldn’t forecast dawn after dusk is talking about AI?

[@iolite2]

"wE'LL sEe wHaT haPpEnS" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@LuciFeric137]

Lol. We will destroy ourselves long before this happens

[@Pukes-mn6di]

I hope this day never comes... if it works, the person with the enhencement will have an insane advantage over everyone else. And if everyone gets it, there's a chance they all get mind controlled or hacked into some paranoia universe of their own torture.

[@user-mw7rt7uc1g]

Liliana Daniela Gomez. Yesenia Martinez Jonathan Sanchez.

[@Stars4Hearts]

You’re like ten years behind

[@mybachhertzbaud3074]

Humans have reached the singularity since day one, it's called death.😜💀

[@Jurmyhyle12]

Ever since the U.S. globalized we haven’t done any but become trashy and poor.

[@huckleberryfinn6578]

Speak for yourself.

[@LivingwithTsepo]

Universal income will help the poor

[@Telencephelon]

It shows the wokeness in Academia. Guy babbles about Singularity and how we fuse with machines but is Pro Immigration with the arguments of workers, when really the only thing states need are the top tier innovators and educated experts. Not the ones that are on the cusp of being replaced by automation

[@SoraFan23]

No No No and NO! We do not want to see human-like Robots roaming around.

[@innerlocus]

Humans have the cell for that.

[@nidhibahl5875]

Clickbait

[@feetycool3884]

Ay ay ay do you guys smell bull or just me

[@arishemghoul9571]

this is against god who made us in his image.

[@huckleberryfinn6578]

There is no god. Grow up.

[@maltaconvoy]

Roubini hasn't been relevant for over a decade.

[@superblondeDotOrg]

The machines better be waterproof because climate change will raise ocean levels by 20 feet or more.
