CORRECTION: As @bazoo513 pointed out in the comments, my calculation at 3:25 about the amount of energy created by the Jupiter/Io torus is completely wrong. It actually comes out to 1.2 trillion terawatts, about the same amount produced in the whole United States. Also, after this video was previewed to members and Patreons, this blog post from ToughSF was shared with me that describes how we could use electrodynamic tethers to capture the energy from the torus: toughsf.blogspot.com/2017/02/how-to-live-on-other-planets-jupiter.html This is very clever and interesting and I wish I'd found it before making this video. Lightning Round videos are generally more lightly researched than regular vids, and I wish I'd researched this (and fact-checked myself) a little more. Maybe someday I'll do a deep dive on how we could colonize the Jovian system because it's super interesting. Anyway, apologies for the errors in this video.

[@michaelginever732]

I just did that calculation too and yes 400,000 x 3,000,000 is 1.2 million megawatts. That is a significant amount of power. How we could harness it though is a problem for future us. Long before we get there we would first set up shop on Europa because it's far enough away from Jupiter which is a pretty hostile body to get too close to.

Regarding AI in the classroom: The most important thing teachers can teach their students is how to think critically, solve problems for themselves, and understand the world. A lot of teaching in all fields is built around these goals. When AI and calculators and other technology are used to bypass this, that's when they're a problem. When tech is used as a tool to trivialize the busywork and focus the human on the higher-level challenge, then it's often accepted as a valuable tool. So teachers will correctly push back against students just handing their homework to AI and learning nothing; they still need to learn. It's just a matter of what they learn. Thinking is more important than trivia and busywork.

[@drippingwax]

I saw something saying that teachers shouldn't tell their students not to use their phones in the classroom, they should encourage it, in fun an interesting ways, and they included several examples, which were neither fun, nor interesting. I feel like whoever wrote that didn't feel relevant and was grasping at straws.

[@johntowers1213]

I suppose a lot depends on if where talking about limited Information based A.I or full blown AGI, Everything you say is correct, where education is more than the simple accumulation of knowledge (which sadly most mainstream academia rarely steps beyond) Right now most children are not getting the best education, very few (relatively speaking) institutions focus on how to learn and grow as an individual, as its difficult to quantify and measure the results in a way easily pointed to through testing , A lot of that is to do with the quality of the teaching and the ratio of child to teacher in any given class, coupled with a performance funding criteria most centers of teaching work under. One would hope a sufficiently advanced AGI could change all that where all children could have access to the perfect teacher, one with endless patience and an unwavering focus on the individual its tasked with educating a system not simply designed to pass on information and then test the students ability to recall it when asked but one that focuses on growing the child's ability to think critically and step beyond the simple tricks required to "pass" matriculation milestones .. How close we are to such a point I've no solid idea.. but I suspect we're going to see something capable of fulfilling that role within a generation,

[@rileynicholson2322]

This is especially true in topics like political philosophy. There is a huge difference between "writing" an essay with the help of AI and actually thinking through complex topics that have had major impacts on history. Most people I talk to would benefit tremendously from reading the likes of Thomas Hobbes and John Locke because it would help them question the very foundational principles of out modern systems of global capitalism and nation states. You simply can't grapple with these ideas by having an AI write some superficial essay about them. Language is a proxy for thinking, most people think using words internally, so practice with speaking, reading, and writing are all practice for thought. Outsourcing that to unreliable and highly biased computer programs is much different than outsourcing some tedious and time consuming calculations to a calculator. One is a much more objective and straightforward task.

[@blackterminal]

Its interesting as most traditional exams focus on memorisation. That will change I guess.

[@danielhale1]

@@blackterminal I really hope rote memorization gets reduced down to just another tool in learning, instead of the end in of itself. Right now memorizing trivia is almost everything in exams and that's madness to me. I respect the people who are pushing back at this and trying to get exams to cover critical thinking and understanding the material. That'll not just help stop cheating with AI, but also help with preparing students to be able to use this stuff in the real world.

[@TyPaff]

Random thought regarding AC mini-split: Be aware that mini-splits in a studio space does create noise that will pick up on the mic and will be some general white noise whether you are recording or not. If your recording sessions are short then you could just shut it off, but if you want to really condition the space you may want to have a ducted unit so the compressors are far enough away to not interfere with your recording. Big problem with wood-worker KZbinrs that try to condition their garages and will have to turn off the units to talk and immediately get sweaty or cold.

[@lamspam]

Agreed, but you can also use audio filtering. I've done this before when using an actual fan next to me. Discord and other apps do this by default, as well.

[@freddygraffam6463]

Hvac tech here, minisplits are damn near silent. Especially the Mitsubishi ones. Minisplits are awesome

[@msytdc1577]

The only noise producing part of the interior portion of a mini split is the air blower. The compressor is outside. Aside from them being very quiet on low fan speed you can also do a lot by using directional boom mics to exclude certain audio sources that you cannot when using an omnidirectional lav mic. In other words, it's a lot less of an issue than you think.

[@jazzdirt]

Cool it down... turn it off... record... turn it on... cool it down.. record... You can make an airduct going up then down then up and put some baffles in it. I had big fans in my studio blowing in air from outside.. but in my recording booth they would come in through a baffled airduct that started up then went down in the wall, then went up again into my booth... The fans were pretty noisy if you stand outside... Inside you heard nothing of it with the insulation and duct.. there was a fresh airflow. If you were to make a really silent cooling.. you'd have to go with air treatment chambers in another room or on the roof.. so you just circulate the AC air from somewhere else basically.. so if in my studiosolution you would put an AC in the beginning of the duct behind the fan and force that air through you would have a basic air treatment chamber inside the duct.

[@ilyafilru]

I have a LG split unit that is silent on low setting.

[@zombieregime]

Joeski, broski. Check out "soundproof dead vent" have the in room exhaust draw from the ceiling, and vent low outside, and the intake side draw low and vent into the room high, preferably across the room. That should vent the hot air at the ceiling, and suck in colder floor air. And with the double back baffle design you can keep the fans running and not have it impact the recording (which honestly, people are way too sensitive about that anyways IMHO).

[@acrylicadam]

Love you man. You're doing great!

As a content marketer at a large software company, I'm boning up on GPT tech (to preserve my actual job, per Joe's comments) and I'm both very intrigued and DEEPLY concerned. My fear is that the AI arms race is much closer to getting completely out of reach of human agency than most people realize. Auto-GPT and other LLMs are already capable of basically working entirely autonomously. When the founder of Open AI is saying it's time to pump the brakes... it's time to pump the brakes.

[@BeautifulEarthJa]

AI ethics researchers have been saying pump the brakes for a while....capitalism tho

[@tevarinvagabond1192]

I don't know much about the programming side of things of AI generating code, but in terms of actual writing and what most people (majority of them being kids or college age young adults) use it for, 99% of the time they're just using it to cheat and do essays for them. I don't see an actual valid use for this for the average person, especially as AI don't understand context - the writing quality it produces is at a 5th grader level in terms of coherence of ideas (which is minimal), containing lots of factual errors and fallacies. At first glance it "looks" good, but it doesn't convey ideas properly. Creative/critical thinking is simply never going to be the purview of AI, ignorant people just don't seem to understand this because most of them just want to either use it to cheat or make money off of it regardless of how much it's actually hurting their own future progress as leaning on it too much will result in them realizing they have no critical thinking skills or skills that can be used in the workplace. Honestly, the way things are going anyway there's going to be a lot of restrictions for it and laws in place that either outright ban or highly regulate the use of generative AI tools (some ideas thrown around are them not being available for free and needing identification and credit card information to make an account using these tools, with the acknowledgement that everything you're asking it to do will be monitored...and if you clearly are using it for nefarious purposes, cheating, or anything else that the tool isn't intended for then it sends an alert to the proper authorities and they pull usage of the tool or the police are involved). Will unscrupulous people still find a way to use these? Sure. But, alongside these tools are also tools being developed to determine if someone is generated by AI, which for writing isn't as easy as finding out if something is AI art (as there are court proceedings already for enforced watermarks within the code that can't be photoshopped away or easily removed), but they'll get there. It's like war, you create a weapon and it's dominant for awhile but then somebody creates a defense for it and that weapon becomes redundant until they need to make a new one, and the cycle repeats.

[@TheChrisSig]

@@tevarinvagabond1192 Articles SHOULD be fifth or sixth grade reading level. If you give the factual inputs and have a reference style or spend some time creating a style template for chatgpt, you can get very good outputs. It still needs editing, but less than you'd imagine. Most publications or ad agencies have editorial guidelines, templates for briefs, etc, so translating that workflow through chat gpt is easier than you think. For a small business, start up, or enterprising individual, this can GREATLY increase the amount of content or copy you can create. It allows you to go immediately(ish) from ideation to first draft, which is insane. Imagine a small business, lets say someone makes and sells candles, and is trying to use social media and a lifestyle blog to increase organic search and generate touches with new customers. A lot of the time, this content is just meant to jam in keywords for SEO to pipeline people to a webstore or increase brand recognition. If your margins are low, and you're doing a lot of the busywork and candlemaking AND have a family, ChatGPT might be make or break until you have actual money to hire advertisers or more employees. Now you could easily generate DAILY blogs instead of weekly or when you have time, you can fill up a content calendar with scheduled tweets/IG posts, you can make your own style guide with chatgpt's help then feed the guide BACK IN for posts, and it's cost you nothing other than some practice. There are so many legitimate uses, and in the short term it's gonna be a force multiplier for the people who recognize this. I'm terrified.

[@tevarinvagabond1192]

@@TheChrisSig You didn't understand what I said, it's not about the reading level being 5th grade... it's about the WRITING COHERENCY being 5th grader level...I'm not talking about grammar or word usage...ChatGPT uses a lot of big words and seemingly complex sentences. But the actual IDEAS and structure of the arguments fall way short and end up being fallacies or just plain incorrect upon being analyzed. Also, no one is refuting the busywork completion application of ChatGPT, but the average person isn't using this for work, they're kids that use it to cheat on homework for school or university, or nefarious people that use it to falsify their work or for hacking/phishing purposes. Those two reasons are why I think all such tools need to be subscription-based or at least have to be purchased, with ID being required. Anonymous monitoring of the usage also needs to be done, and if the automated monitoring detects illegal or malicious usage then it would alert to the account and terminate it, and/or alert the authorities. High schoolers simply shouldn't be allowed access to this, they already are braindead enough as it is and rely too heavily on Google search

It's really easy to distinguish between someone who used ChatGPT to write the essay for you and someone who used it to help research. It's the same as someone buying an essay online or hiring someone to write it for them. If you've interacted with your students *at all* you should be able to recognize something that is *not* in the voice of the person that sits in your classroom. I had a student who copied an essay from an online site. I didn't need to copy a paragraph and search for it (which I did and went right to the site he bought it from). He was barely literate and not a single sentence he ever uttered had a three-syllable word in it. He had a very limited vocabulary. The essay contained words I *knew* he didn't know. That's an extreme example, but it's not hard to recognize an authorial style and voice. Oh, btw, it was a for-profit 'trade' school, so we didn't expel him for that. We weren't even allowed to expel him for touching himself while watching porn in class. We did kick him out of the computer class, and he was only allowed to use a computer where the screen could be seen by the instructor and the computer wasn't connected to the internet. I was glad to put that business in my rear-view mirror career-wise.

GPT-4 is honestly good enough to replace some software developers. It can write code for basic things faster than I could even find a StackOverflow article talking about my question via Google. It's helpful because I can knock out tasks I'd otherwise just not bother with, or would have to hand off to somebody who knows the ins and outs of using some library I'm not familiar with. Probably a good time to brush up on skills that are (for now) harder to automate.

[@michaelstoliker971]

Ehhh, I asked it to write a snake game in Atari Basic and it couldn't even write program that functioned. I was able to get the code working in a short amount of time, but the little things that trip up Chatgpt are like the devil, in the details.

[@lamspam]

I disagree that it's good enough to *completely* replace software developers at the moment, because you still need someone technically proficient enough to review the code (before being tested by QA). However, it's still a pretty excellent research tool and productivity booster. Maybe one day, though lol

[@sfreemanoh]

I've heard of people getting really good results, and also non-functioning results. Personally, I asked it to create a couple different PowerShell scripts for automating some operations in Microsoft ECM. The first result used a PS module that doesn't exist, and the second result used cmdlets that don't exist. Basically, each time it gave me a decent starting point, but the output provided by ChatGPT was by NO means functional.

[@tevarinvagabond1192]

​@@michaelstoliker971I think you hit the nail on the head there - AI is good at predictable generation of code and text, but it's not good at creative/critical thinking, which good research, essays, art, music, and videogames require. AI simply never can reach the level of humans in creative/critical usage, it can only at best mimic them (and often poorly in the case of text usage as essays written by ChatGPT are at a 5th grader level in terms of coherence of ideas, as AI can't understand the context of piecing together an argument). That's why in terms of programming, AI may indeed be good at least helping to automate the busywork of mundane, predictable code that doesn't require much creative thinking (like for databases especially), but when you get into breaking new ground into videogame creation or server architecture then it simply can't compete with actual human programmers. Same for artists, musicians, teachers, researchers, historians, engineers, etc etc anything that requires critical thinking skills and creative thought to be able to not only understand the context of their field but that "spark" they machines don't have and will never have.

Io's orbital velocity is so fast around Jupiter that in a telescope at high power, you will notice it move after only a handful of minutes.

9:00 regarding ChatGPT, I find it funny it can make better gaming articles than gaming journalists

[@bluceree7312]

but its virtually useless otherwise. well, it has been every time i asked it a question. I wouldn't trust it to give me directions to the grocery store 200 yards away. It will improve though I'm sure.

[@solomitus]

Your channel is straight-up goodness and completely fills my insatiable needs for factoids! (without having to do my own research!) :) Thank you!

[@flyin4352]

9:30 it's interesting to hear the teacher's side to that. I remember being taught how to use Microsoft Excel and Spreadsheet in junior school but by the time I graduated compulsory education they were obsolete. I remember a science teacher telling me that Pluto had been declassified as a planet and yet she still had to teach us that it was a planet because the Education board hadn't approved that change to the curriculum, and still haven't as far as I know. It just makes all the things I learned in school and have never needed as an adult, even without a smart phone or the internet, so much more frustrating. There's a difference between learning something because you WANT to, and learning it because somebody you've never met says you HAVE to.

[@Prometheus289]

Keep doing it man

[@jaredkennedy6576]

I think the biggest education point with chat gpt and other AI sources is fact checking. Im currently going through a divorce that is turning pretty contentious, and had to write a letter to my ex demanding to see my kids. I have no idea how to properly write something or what the relevant laws are, so I had Chat gpt do it. I made sure to ask it to cite relevant laws, which it did, but I went back through and made sure what it cited was real.

[@tnijoo5109]

You can ask chatGPT to fact-check itself. Goda Go has good videos on writing better prompts. That’s cool that chatGPT helped you with something emotional and heavy. I’m amazed by understanding and emotionally aware chatGPT can write things. Good luck with everything you’re going through.

[@jrcorsey]

I second Agrajag for the plant's name. I recommend geothermal for cooling the studio. Not only cheap and effective and green, also the most quiet option that still moves air. You could even put the fan in another room and the outlet directly in the studio. I've really enjoyed your growth in humility. It's not easy to be obsessed with knowing things and comfortable with not knowing them simultaneously.

[@someweirdo9700]

With all the starship stuff this week, I totally missed this video! Glad I finally saw it. :)

[@michaeljohnston6856]

The new backdrop looks great. Love the color

[@sk0.0t3r]

Audrey II for the plants name. I would love to see a video on AI. I think it can be a great tool, but also opens up the possibilities to be abused. Will be interesting to see how it all plays out.

[@petroc62]

Feed me Seymour...

[@joescott]

There's one coming

[@wildaviation5528]

About AI and teachers. Just today my maths teacher (A-level) took example questions that would normally take a very long time to get the answers for with the proper software, plugged it into GPT and voila. Instead of him spending upwards of an hour getting the answers to the questions he pressed ctrl + c, ctrl + v, and GPT gave him the answers in seconds. We then spent the rest of the lesson doing the questions by hand and seeing if the answers given by GPT were accurate. Surprise surprise, GPT had an accuracy rate of ~98%, far better than we (humans) do. So going into the future, GPT may save far more time for the teachers than the students. Which I think is desperately needed.

[@kotalee2106]

it's only going to be used as an excuse to pay teachers even less.

[@SapphireAgni]

nice Q&A!

[@vinnyjames2]

Hey Joe! Before you put AC in there, try putting a fan on the ground pushing cold air from outside your office into it. Works great for me. Love the channel!

[@austinharding9734]

@Joe scott 9:30 same exact thing was said with calculators, especially texas instrument graphing calculators....YES! Venus at a certain elevation has earth surface level pressure while being a cozy 75 degrees!! all with near same gravity, so it would be Avatar level suits, needed only for breathing, no pressure or temp protection

[@timothydiaz9065]

Mini slip asap man! Keep up the great work!

[@desireeholloway3353]

WE LOVE YOU JOE! 🎉🤸🏾‍♀️🎉

[@bivs_setup]

Need to give us a room tour and set-up video. 7 years. Well done 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@jenniferwong4530]

I too experience the biophilia hypothesis. Human beings can indeed have an emotional connection to houseplants. It actually says a lot about you. Basically, you're a really nice person with a kind heart who enjoys connecting with nature.😊

[@brianhirt5027]

As per your heat issue: Get yourself an exit vent fan, like is used to vent heat from server rooms. As per your plant needing a name. Sir Basil Fawlty. Or Herb; Of course!

[@gratefulfistpumpinsweeney]

i appreciate you . cheers!

[@arounor]

Glad I found this channel

[@danniles5256]

Love your channel;...Ty

[@reddoguk7405]

You always stand out on this guy's TV Jo never change. At the same time I do understand if you have to sell your soul to the main stream from time to time. In this day and age it's impossible not to sell some of your soul some of the time. Cheers mate.

[@carjamlaw753]

Joe is giving Odenkirk vibes. That's a compliment.

[@DiogeneDeSin0pe]

About the AI, I will refer to a comic strip from the 70s I saw, it was about the point were people did not learn how to make and how things worked anymore, then the last plumber died and everybody was screwed and drowned from a leak that nobody could fix.

[@saprogeist31]

During the Io/Jupiter portion, I couldn't help but think about Nikola Tesla. Now, I haven't read up on my Tesla lore in a hot minute, but if I recall correctly, he once managed to successfully power a lightbulb wirelessly, from like... I want to say 25 meters away from the power source? Joe said something about not knowing how we'd harness that energy flowing between Jupiter and Io, and I couldn't help but think that Nikola Tesla would have at least one well-defined procedure in his head of how to do so.

[@WestOfEarth]

Thing about Chat GPT is that you have to have knowledge in order to use it. If you're ignorant on a subject, you can't formulate the questions to ask it.

[@SPACEDESIGNWAREHOUSE]

Every single time you mention a “Crewed Mission” of any sort, I can’t help but to hear it as “crude mission,” like an underplanned fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants mission.

[@adam3839]

Mini splits are awesome. If I could put one in every room, I would.

[@liammcintosh8466]

I don’t care what the title of the video is. I watch your channel because of its fantastic content, not the headlines. Keep doing what you’re doing mate!

[@justinboyett8843]

12:52 That's how balloons have worked for hundreds of years. The interior balloon provides the primary displacement, with the exterior balloon creating a controlled environment for the balloonette. I am fairly certain it was Rozier who first designed it.

[@CapinCooke]

1:43 “…Io’s equator can bulge over 300 kilometers…” Ouch! That’s like 186 miles. Nope. More like about 100 meters, + / - … less than 1/10th of a mile. Love your channel Joe. Love the new studio. I think I’ve binged most all of your work since I discovered you 4 or 5 years ago. Keep it up dude. You are a machine putting out quality, fun content every week. None of us really care about a misplaced decimal point or three. Stuff occasionally happens to all of us and the extensive body of your work is most always 100% right-on. Peace ✌️.

[@Benjamin_Reese]

I like it. Good stuff.

[@sarcasmo57]

All so interesting.

[@user-zj8ze9ho6w]

@joescott Mini-splits rock. Do it, then nerd-out on the tech with us! My home came with very high SEER mini-splits (former owner worked in HVAC). Despite being over a decade old, they remain super efficient. Only issue I have is defrost cycles in bitter cold temps. I hacked a fix out of some engine heat pads. I don't recall what state you're in, but a mini-split is a great investment. No disposable filters either. At the least, a video explaining why moving heat rather than generating it would be some great content. Stay frosty!

[@potgieterl]

Kino Flo makes cool studio lights that will not make you sweat.

[@TexasRy]

That poor got CRUSHED by Joe Scott, that was knarly.

[@profoundpronoun4712]

I love ya Joe! ❤

[@castadivanorma8478]

Hi Joe. We have a name for this plant in greek. we call it Pothos ( it means "DESIRE " in greek) and in mild climates it can also thrive outdoors. Thank you for all the great topics you present (and forgive my poor english ! )

[@UKEtaCarinae]

The plant should be called the Rangdo and should be immediately placated by bowing, while uttering the phrase "Gronda! Gronda!", every time you enter the new studio. And if that’s not nerdy enough, then I don’t know what is.

[@deandee3270]

Great vid. As for the plant? Cinqo de Planto. It is 5 years old.

[@louroboros]

Highly recommend paying for access to Chat GPT-4. The difference in quality is subtle but makes a big difference. You can also provide it with data in the form of raw articles and whatnot to reduce the hallucination problem, and the GPT-4 model they provide can process a lot more text and hold a lot more in its memory.

[@loukramer9665]

You could name your plant Hubble. It a dedicated science companion, loved by the scientific community, been around for years, and has a cosy place in our hearts 🙂

[@hassanrasheid4618]

is it me or are we in the early stages of seeing Joe Transition? Stunning & Brave :)

[@LMac1970]

I loved it when you used to say “I’m gonna go ahead and destroy a few names now …” . No idea why; it just made me giggle.

[@chardude]

Please bring back the little guy with glasses and blue hair. Idk who that is but they've been on the shelf since the start. I don't want to lose them 😭

[@ChristopherMurtagh]

Also A/B testing is just smart! I want your team to get paid too!

[@notelliot70]

Like the AI that generate new pictures the chat versions create a conversation that looks like you'd expect the conversation to look. It doesn't know anything about truth or reality, just how those things kinda look

[@Richard-ug4el]

There are very few channels where I'll watch every video when they pop up on my feed. This is one of them. Always entertaining, and I always learn something.

[@SummitSummit]

This is one of the channels that I watch the video when it pops up on my feed, then go to the channel to binge watch all the videos I missed since the last time the youtube algorithm bothered to show me one.

[@mousermind]

I think, for the plant, something like Emma or Camila would be great. Or maybe Olivia.

[@MatthewAHaas]

Switch your studio lights to cool LED lights. 😊 will be much cooler. mini split will make some noise for boom mic.

[@nn-yu4cz]

I love the new room! It's been years overdue Maybe Barbra-ella, or Zena ;-)

[@somnorila9913]

The thing with education is that "you don't need to know things", but you do. It's not just that old math explanation for why you still need it even if you have a calculators now. Like how you don't get graded in regards of having the result of some equation right or wrong but in regards of how you processed the solving of that equation. I remember that some pretty long time ago i was surprised to find out something interesting about how calligraphy in schools have a much bigger impact on the mental development of people. And how technology and students using other approaches on taking notes than writing themselves has some ill effects in regards of their overall performance. It's weird but plenty aspects that are perceived as old approaches or even obsolete that should be removed completely are more important than we give them credit. Like nowadays you don't need to know as you can find out more easily, but in regards of what to search and how to do it to get the desired results are abilities that can't really be developed differently than the good old way. We could even predict that in the future even what and how to search would be automated so our training i think would need to be even more analog, to be even more in touch with ourselves and out environment, what it means to be alive, to feel and to think and create.
