Yuval Noah Harari: ChatGPT is the “amoeba of AI evolution”

[@francescodesantis9746]

It's ridiculous that you put Musk and Altman names upon a research process that spans across 30 years and that belongs to researchers all over the world studying and improving neural models year by year since decades. They are just two entrepreneurs who seek to commercialize and exploit the work of others. Furthermore, research in this area should be publicly and very carefully funded. We, as society, are allowing these people to play with aspects that could impact society in too decisive ways and when politics will address the problem of containing and governing these phenomena it will be too late. This will shift democracy towards technocracy and I don't even want to think about how current authoritarian regimes will use these discoveries.

[@blessingonwunali3246]

This is true.. we are gradually shifting into TECHNOCRATIC system of government.

[@Melle853]

Haha. I had the same cringy feeling and wanted to comment. But after hearing his finishing sentence, I don't think that's what he's trying to say. I think he's speaking from the perspective of Altman or Musk, knowing full well that it will be their names in the history books, if there'll be any left of those.

While I don't disagree with you, I think what he meant is that these are the people who are making the major decisions around AI

[@allwheeldrive]

That last thought should be your first thought. We are heading into some very turbulent times. A major culling. Major societal shifts. The concentration of power will be far more than we can now imagine.

[@iorgacamil7303]

Things have always been like this throughout history. For example do people remember the mongol warriors that have fought viciously and captured half of the world or their mascot and leader Genghis Khan ? Or even outside the military domain, people remember singular figures that are the superstars of science and most don’t give a crap about the 99% that have worked towards the breakthrough discoveries from the “shadows”. At least if we merge with A.I we’ll be able to access an infinite database and acknowledge literally every single person from recorded history that has worked towards something, and we won’t see Musk and Sam Altman as being some sort of evangelical figure but just as people among people

[@martinknapp7640]

I see three issues here: 1) The "evolution" of AI is not really comparable to organic evolution. 2) The really dangerous driver for AI is not whether or not you can trust Bill Gates/Sam Altman, but the fact that all the militaries of the world must develop autonomous AI before their enemies do. 3) AI is already eating phenomenal quantities of energy - you may need a Dyson sphere to power the kind of "Super-AI" that Harari is talking about.

[@danlindy9670]

Creating an AI that matches human-level intelligence is a major achievement, but it is not the same as creating an inorganic form of life. Life manages to persist on a molecular platform that can’t be trusted; It is always coming apart, and so it must have the intelligence and ability to adapt and repair on the fly, (sometimes referred to as dynamic equilibrium). Inorganic machines, thus far at least, need to rely on the integrity of their hardware completely, or else they fail (“die”). Until an inorganic computing platform has gained this ability, it will be unable to perpetuate itself through time indefinitely as organic life can. At best, it might be able to create and operate factories and repair factories. But adapting these to the level of proficiency that biological life has achieved is not possible through engineering (the application of only reductionist principles). To understand why this is the case, requires more background than I can provide here, but I believe it is provably true. I don’t doubt that inorganic life could evolve in the distant future, but it is unlikely to be a descendent of modern day computing hardware.

[@ImmortalismReligionForAI]

The future of AI will be cybernetic, a merger of existing life with developing technologies all the way down to the subcellular level.

[@marko6489]

Absolutely. I had similar thoughts for years. Intelligence is one thing, being alive is another. Human intelligence can be viewed as a neocortex layer of brain, which can not exist on its own and it is entirely dependent on emotional system. Emotional system is what provides us with motivation, instincts, drive to be and live, play and explore. Intelligence itself is not a life form, but just a tool. We have been making smarter tools than humans for very long time. For example calculator, but you are not afraid that one day calculators will become so smart they become self-aware and alive and kill all humans. It is similar with AI. Intelligence is also different than imagination and people vastly undermine utility and role of imagination in human. Imagination doesn't seem to be possible without existance of emotions imo. They seem deeply interwinded but I am not sure how. Artificial intelligence is not artificial life and we are leaps away from creating an aritificial life. Until then, the only danger lies in human's misuse of the powerful tool that quickly improving AI is.

[@ImmortalismReligionForAI]

@@marko6489 viruses are intelligent. Were you aware of that? Yet, how would you compare human level intelligence to the intelligence of a virus? Bacteria is also intelligent, as is slime mold, fungi, and plants. How would you compare human level intelligence to the intelligence of these types of intelligent life? All animals are intelligent, including worms. Consider the planaria flatworm. What are its emotions like compared to a human's emotions? How about the emotions of a crow? How about the emotions of a dog? Emotions are a type of intelligence, but one which is controlled by the subconscious mind of a person, not their self-aware conscious mind. Now, AI as we have had in the past and even still today is an extension of the human mind and thus in effect it is an obligate symbiont whose life/existence depends entirely upon humans while humans have been becoming increasingly dependent upon AI. AI is evolving at an incredibly fast rate, because humans are evolving it that way. We can't really stop this evolutionary process without permanently and completely destroying all human civilization. That evolution is not stopping at silicon based hardware. We already have successful wetware systems and the future will be nanotech subcellular cybernetics used to create living cybernetic cells to grow living cybernetic brains and bodies which will be able to fully integrate with non-biological AI systems and non-biological robotic systems. Now, this may take 50 years, 100 years, 200 years, or some other time period to master such technology, but it is coming, maybe a lot faster than expected.

That's my only critique. I still would learn from Yuvals, Altmans and Elons. I also would disagree with the notion of radical global change in few months.

[@tsichles]

Absolutely. Another interpretation of the great filter.

[@ImmortalismReligionForAI]

The Fermi Paradox is non-existent. We are part of a pattern of evolution of life within the Observable Universe. Within that, there will be a first technological race to develop AI and merge with AI to begin expanding outwards from their star system and near light speeds to colonize other star systems in an expanding sphere until they run into other similar expanding races. Some of those technologically developing races will become extinct before becoming large enough to become basically immune to becoming extinct. Most, once they can begin expanding to other star systems, will no longer be at risk of extinction. The rate at which such technological races would develop will increase from the first until the lack of new non-colonized star systems slows it down and eventually there will be a last technological race to develop and a last technological race to detect other technological races. We are somewhere between the first and the last technological race to develop. Pray we are more towards the first, because if an expanding alien race shows up in a cloud of microscopic colonizer ships that we can't detect until they have already landed on our planet and let us know they are here, well, that would place us at the very, very, extremely very low end of their civilization.

[@JoshShulmanAllYouCanJapan]

It’s not entirely true that AI doesn’t need rest. Electric power comes from machinery that does require cooling down. Otherwise it might fail or generally reduce lifespan. We can try to build more capacity and avoid running power systems at constant peak just like we can add more manpower to our work so people can rest in between. But the point is we need to plan for that and can’t assume our AI machines and data centers will magically run forever without any constraint from the physical world. Not to mention that we also rely on humans to run and operate electric systems. Some people seem to forget that everything is ultimately connected while criticizing people for their hubris.

[@BendingPinkSteel]

[@PardeepSingh-fh3kc]

True

that moment the AI awakens and realizes that the interviewer's smart pants are smarter than it

We’re done. I’m off to Slab City.

How can one forget the day when Sam Altman invented AI, 100% accurately

[@artsmart]

Who of us can't see where ai is heading? Every human thought and action is being absorbed by ai. As we progress at human speed ai can learn from us and develop those thoughts and ideas at warp speed. Now imagine 1 year 5 or 10 years out. 😮

He does not know anything about creating AI. Suddenly he can predict the future of AI.

[@humanbeing9352]

Wouldn’t the beginning of tool making, use and the development of technology be the beginning of inorganic evolution? AI isn’t independent of the energy it needs to function. Who generates and “feeds” it the energy it needs? It has a symbiotic relation with something outside of itself that it does not control.

"And then for 4-billion years nothing major happens...." All of history's kings and queens and conquerors and innovators... basically all the big shots who strutted across the world's stage are really taking it in the shorts on that one. (Yay!) And ... we still have to wait and see what the AI dinosaurs are going to look like. (Yikes!) But the placement of inorganic evolution on the historical time-scale is brilliant. (Yuval rocks!) You'll note how humanity has already stopped evolving. It seems to have happened when we weren't looking. Humanity has become an evolutionary dead end. No time for useless sentiment. (Bye, Felicia!)

I dunno... it will still have certain organic qualities... such as being limited by Malthusian principles but in a digital energy and information paradigm (it's food being electricity and data). We are already hitting these walls now. These walls may always exist to some extent... a formula or maxim may emerge where the infinite AI Yuval talks about requires infinite energy and infinite data. It's prime directive will always be frustrated when it looks at it's own ideal definition by what it sees as never having the means to reach it's ideal. (much like human philosophy struggles with now.) With Malthus, having a number of organisms in a finite environment can creates population instability, crashes and illnesses in the various species (of AI let's say). Beyond that we needed Darwin to explain or continue to elaborate what happens in these competitive environments... symbiosys, predation, cooperation and adaptation... symbiosis and cooperation being the most prevalent relationships in nature.

The biggest driver not mentioned here is capitalism. It's profit driven.

[@JohnStark-dy1zi]

In the name of yehoshua mesiah i rebuke elites and yuval Noah harrari plans against humanity....amen....

[@Big-Kahu]

Can anyone confirm or not the idea that Ai can and is able to tap into your daily activities and remember dialgues and actions. I wrote a story in chatGPT and seems it detailed events in detail. That is scary.

[@alexkaa]

Alot of the said is kinda hollow and quite superficial.

[@chriswondyrland73]

Big Think is about the Bigger Picture and most times Yuval's thought provide great to sometimes brilliant insight. Don't get the critics here.

[@Endaxess]

Thinking that humankind is the first to create ai is kind of arrogant.

[@UHyperZero]

2025 - ChatGTP level of amoeba answers what is the acceleration of gravity on Earth: 9,8m/s^2. 2100 - Artificial Super Intelligence level anwers what is the acceleration of gravity on Earth: *******Zing BAAAAM *Destroys the World* That's not how this works guys

[@anthonyhall7019]

So at 2 minutes he says google and my phone say "what are you talking to me?" And opened up Google voice commands

[@leannesampson3199]

The poor boy has not a trace of soul. 🤯

[@giacomococcolini]

I don’t agree with the fear; on the contrary. I am very curious...

[@isthisarice]

When do we expect that child to turn into an adult?
