On my side of the world, I start a day with laugh with these videos

@@Sasoon2006I’m glad the other side of the world as you see it can also enjoy hating trump with the rest of us

Love this with my morning routine. Didn’t know how much I missed it… greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱

I hear that. I used to watch the late show with my dad as a kid. Now that I'm older, I watch it on the way to work every morning from UKposts. I have missed Steven and have wanted to hear his opinion on stuff in the news lately. Glad he is back! 😅

My insomnia just hasn't been the same without fresh Colbert. Good morning from Illinois U.S.

He’s too high energy though. It’s so annoying.

Maybe John Oliver too?

And roast 😂

@@beastrule to you, but clearly to Stephen he's not. He's said many times he's his favorite guest

​@@SelinaCatI don't think they meant that Stephen doesn't hype him. There's clearly a chemistry between the two. But rather that other guests are there to recieve hype more than give.

If his content is in an AI database, Neil deGrasse Tyson won't be paid from his book sales. BUMMER!!

YES! AI is great and helpful but it does not belong in the liberal arts!

Yes, NDT was way too flippant about the subject - also throwing everything from a smartly programmed algorithm (Traffic prediction) in the mix with LLM and neural nets… simplifying to the point of useless

Yeah, Steve and Neil, do you remember the movie, "I, Robot??"

Wait till AI is used by insurance companies to decide if you get a surgery you need to live-the actuary algorithm determined you aren’t worth the expense

Lord Nice reigns as NDGT's sidekick.

@@NotInTheFace111He does.

I like NDGT current podcast though

That would be great!

Planetary Talk

this is an ai generated comment lmao

@@PerryNoydicus actually nope, just me, an actual thinking human being 🤓

😎 exactly what an AI would want me to think

I think an A.I. would use a phrase like, "Neil deGrasse Tyson is _underrated."_ It doesn't mean much and it's nearly always wrong, but it's one of the most common words in UKposts comments.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

It's the Letterman tradition. Remember how Paul Shaffer's job on the show included being David's sidekick as well as his bandleader? Jon and now Louis do the same thing for Stephen.

James Corden did it the best. I know every member that was in the band

Awesome Band!

When you close your eyes and imagine an apple, you see nothing.

Skynet was a A.I. And it blew us up! A.I . Is a bad idea.

It has already proven itself smarter than the majority of people observing it. Lmao

@@TempestasSileras and what happens when it becomes too smart and decides that it doesnt need to take orders from us?

AI is the same as splitting the atom! .... depends on how the knowledge is used!

@@viceadmiralq90 a common concern amongst the incredibly small minded; no matter how much you think a computer can spontaneously understand free will it simply won't happen, when you freak out about a computer saying the world will end soon it is purely because it was given a script to say so. What else, elon said AI will learn to gang up on us? The ban people who don't like free speech genius? Idiots alone think a computer does anything but what's it's told to, i pity such trivial concerns.

That is how it has always been done here in Italy.

Imagine, actual human interaction! It’s brilliant, in fact.

Not cool for people with social anxiety

When most classrooms these days are 30 or 35 students for every teacher, 30+ back-to-back 1-on-1 exams just isn't realistic. So, more likely, if someone wanted to attempt this model it would be a bunch of tiny cubicles with a screen, camera, microphone, and a desk. (hopefully soundproofed) Who gives the exam? AI, of course. The interview can be recorded for the teacher to review any particular segment again later but voice-to-text collects the answers and an algorithm grades the responses. I'm not saying if this is a good or bad thing but it's far more likely than human-to-human exams. [Even so, if you fill in the details, which aren't too hard to imagine, I think I just described a potential $100 million+ education startup. You'd sell the desk/tech hardware package to schools and then charge a subscription fee for the testing/grading/grade reporting software. The teacher gets a login to review tests & manually adjust grades; students get a log in to take tests from home, review wrong answers, & get additional material; and parents get a login to see charts, analysis, & progress reports. If an established company does it, this all just gets integrated into the existing app. (My kids' school has a commercial app for teacher communications, posting homework explanations/reminders, and occasionally photos of their classroom events and activities.) ]

@@MichaelDerryGameitect Yes well but that isn't how oral exams work. They aren't just a list of questions, they are more like discussions. One thing leads to another, they can't be prefabricated. We have large classes and few teachers in my country, we manage, it can be done.

Fundamentally, any tool (assuming we've ruled out discussions about a singularity) will do good for a society but only to the extent that the tool is not exclusively used by people with power in a way that further entrenches their power.

my thoughts exactly. And yeah maybe some jobs are very complex and having AI helps someone work alongside it to get results faster, but when it comes to AI in the arts or other fields where a corporation can make more money by switching to this, its trouble. Artists across all mediums already struggle, and art is always about expression to those who truly love it. AI cranking out what it thinks people want to hear or see creates an even more inauthentic and oversaturated market. And then when all the artists die out because they can't make a living, AI will no longer have models to train on/steal from, and we'll all be stuck with it. AI can be useful in fields like medical research and procedural generation, as well as many other fields. It's just the sad habit of human desire for more that will cause AI in such excess that it harms more than helps.

Yes. It's not AI, in itself, that im afraid of. It's the "evil" that will exploit it against the common person.

Unfortunately this is all part of life, any tech/tool etc can be used for both good and/or evil, it's what we as a society value when we find out these tools have been used for nefarious purposes ? There is no really easy answer, it is fundementally a human convenience factor, I myself have been plenty guilty of this in my 60+ years on this Earth.

​@@johnmijono. You took the "dumb" way out of this debate. Saying it's "just like any other" is also ignoring how all other techs destroyed lives because people in power wanted more power. Plus all uses of the tech will happen, and society will change entirely, even with everyone full of "good intentions", unless some uses are banned by enforced legislation (and they can and should be banned by enforced regulation).

Neil: Why are people so afraid of AI?! Also Neil: Wait, it affects me? I'm totally creeped out!

@@dangerflyWhich is why he’s a good teacher

I’m sorry what?

@@EminusSleepus What what?

@@lcflngn Twat did you say? I kunt hear you. I have an ear infuktion.

he doesn't know what a woman is. The space cadet misogynist bro is no longer a star... he's a misogynist thats fine with indulging the fantasy of men in womenface, at the cost of wimen and children. I too held NDT in great esteem. Until his Triggernometry interview... HE KNOWS better.... he's protecting the Bro's messaging. NDT is a stellar astrophysicist. He needs to stick to stellar bodies and stop telling women that a man's feelings and self proclamations are eminent.

He's becoming more and more an azzhole. His defense of AI is pathetic support of BS Capitalism.

It take a person who is very self-aware to be like this.

Try that at home, homeschoolers!

Here in Italy we also banned ChatGPT for a bit Because we are an extremely conservative people who fear anything new

Same ❤

Hang in there❤

Take care Kristen ❤

Hope you are doing better now.

Me, too. I love Stephen & Seth Meyers. They help me laugh through the ridiculousness of our current world. I became seriously depressed these past 5 weeks of the strike. ❤

I thought the same thing. One more drink he would have been jumping out of his chair. Not the typical Neil interview.

Neil is a narcissist and it makes perfect sense why you all like him

There was in the early days of The Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson. In the 1960s. Didn't work out too well after Marlon Brando and Truman Capote got into the sauce! Went dry after that.

Well, that came outta left fucking field, but alright @@easternsuneasternsun171. Oh, and I got these for ya: ..|..(>.

Oh wow, that's a fun bit of trivia there @@michaelrmurphy2734, thanks! Grew up watching Johnny. Hell, back then he and Letterman were all there was.

04:25 Liberal Arts folks pooped their pants. 05:44 Stephen looks at Neil like he is in love with him because Neil has fixed it.

I have to agree 100% on that. My grandfather was a photographer and in the last 15 years he sometimes used Photoshop to tweak some things (brightness correction and stuff). But the ideas for his pictures, the way they were shot and where they fit in an exhibition always came from him and his decades of experience. I'm glad he is not around to see how AI ruins that part of creativity that the human mind can come up with on its own, no need for a machine to create creative things because that loss of humanity in art would have saddened him a lot.

My thoughts exactly. We should be using AI to do things people already don’t want to do like filing taxes or dealing with bureaucracy, not to create deepfakes or write scripts.

The same issues came out when music became digital but I still see musicians making millions somehow. If someone wants to read NDT's book I doubt they will ask a chat bot ten thousand questions to access the information from Neil's three books. It is much more efficient to just read the books.

AI undercutting creatives is the goal not the pipe dream. That is what would truly mean we've arrived at creating a true AI not just one that spits out pre-planned directives. People have always felt that technology is theft because it comes for everything without restriction. A couple generations give or take maybe, I hope everything can be done by AI. That is when things would get interesting to me.

@@anthonyschlott916 That future sounds not so pleasant because it basically condenses humans to "either you're good at some important manual labour or you are useless and thus have no value for our society". It sounds very dystopian ... if it comes to that at all. Humanity sadly won't live in a world like The Jetsons but more like The Flintstones as AI depends on energy and we are not looking do good in that department if things go sour. Making ourselves dependent on modern technology might be our downfall if we are not careful and make sure to satisfy the high demand in energy without ruining our planet even more than we are already projected to do Plus, one question for you, this time quite philosophical: What makes humans humans if you take away creativity?

The fear comes from the application and unregulated nature, just like the answer to testing involves more work on the human end to make the tech good. The Haber-Bosh reaction makes ammonium, this can feed the world or blow it up depending on how it is used. If we had banned it instead of regulating how it is used we would be famine stricken around the globe. Technology is only as evil as its methods and goals. Just like it isn't evil to make ammonium to fertalize crops on its face, if the ones working the process are slaves it is still evil. The accumulation of information and the use of this tech need regulation not moratoriums.

Science teacher...totally agree 👍🏽

@@vanghostart it was a valid call out, the scientific community has already dealt with integration of AI it's not a totally new beast like people liked to pretend it was. There was tons of "well let's use it for science but not the arts" sentiment when science was integrating it so it's really just getting what's coming, if ypu throw someone to the wolves and instead they thrive among the wolves, when the wolves show up in town the person who knows the wolves will point out that the wolves acted more human than the humans did and advocate for integrating the wolves and humans to those that still fear them. And that's how you get dogs my guy, sure dogs can snap is pushed and a cornered wolf is a dangerous creature but yall are the ones causing the fear, you're the ones who can't get along not us or the dogs.

@@ConstantChaos1Problem is, where’s the regulation? Consistent problem in science. Money wins, human thought & morality is too far behind.

As an Illustrator, I've seen so much work disapear not only from me but from friends who are Translators, musicians, even Property surveyors. To most people it's not an aid, it's a replacement. Not fantasy, seeing it happen now.

In front of everyone?

Yes in Italy too, from elementary school on.

​@@NuiYabukoI don't know how it is done in Scandinavia but in Italy exams are public, anyone can go in and listen. This is also so you can have witnesses in case you want to contest the results. Many people are happy to have classmates there for moral support. Italians are used to this because from primary grades on they have what are called " interrogations" (a rather intimidating word) where they have to stand up with the whole class looking and answer questions. As an American I initially thought this was horrible and felt sorry for my children who went to school here in Italy but I eventually realized it was good for them. Italians are generally much better at speaking and putting sentences together than typical Americans and much of this has to do with school experiences.

​@@carollund8251 This is just anxiety-inducing to me. ^^;

@@NuiYabuko Yes I know how you feel! I couldn't do it either! But maybe we could if we were used to it from when we were little.

Yes , to explain it simple , the ball in the game will be so high that only ai can participate in it . That is the real danger .

While I think there is a possibility to what you’re saying, the immediate danger of AI is its use, by other humans, to make a profit for the already super rich at the expense of everyone else. Let’s build public transportation instead of AI driven cars, pay artists instead of replacing them with mediocre AI art, and write our own term papers instead of cheating and plagiarizing with ChatGPT.

a great example of how human expertise is still needed to guide & to use the power of automation ^^

Why can't it be a helpful tool for creatives?

Because it is being used to generate material based on the creatives’ works, which is then used without the consent or payment of those creatives. It’s like a machine in a textile factory. The machine could be used to make the worker’s labor easier, but instead it’s used to replace the workers’ skills and make the boss more money.

@@Maioubi I am talking about replacement and not inspirational Ai tools for creatives. ;)

@@IllTractatesIll That's the story of automation and the modern world you have spent every waking moment of your life in. Every advancement ever made replaces the people who did an existing job. Any machine to "make the worker's labor easier" is removing the need of some previous human involvement. That's how the world became able to support billions of people with a high standard of living. What you're really saying, I believe, is that some jobs should be held higher than others. I personally loved a job I had at an agricultural facility that was replaced by a machine a few years ago. No one made a fuss over that.

and not only that , how do you back check the fact ai did not make a mistake in its calculations , because of sometimes gpt clearly answers wrong statements

@@attilakohbor3360 Your comment reminded me of the Pentium FDIV bug of June 1994 which could give the wrong answer in the fourth significant digit. The example on Wikipedia said to divide 4,195,835/3,145,727 =1.333820449136241002 (correct answer), but on Pentium =1.333739068902037589 (incorrect answer). The company kept it quiet for months. Once exposed at the end of October, Intel said it wasn't a big deal and would replace the chip for people who could prove they were affected. They finally agreed to full replacement on December 20. This was the first full recall of a computer chip. How many man-hours were lost in that time by professionals it did affect who got bad results (like in the development of Quake) or were trying to track down what the problem was with their computer using the Pentium? As well as those who had to come up with software patches?

I feel you bro, the same here, long time illustrator.

I wish they would have an actual artist on the show to talk about this issue instead of this hack who calls himself a scientist and then goes on to spout nonsense about topics he knows nothing about. Just because he is an astrophysicist (and not even that great of one) doesn’t give him authority to talk about AI or humanities education.

he's too old and rich to understand the impact on real people lives, all artists are uterly fucked by this and the industry is pushing AI to make more money with less artists. And people thinks it's just an evolution of art, but it's mainly a step back, we're going down hill creatively because AI can't know what's good or not, but mainly also that it is not Art, it is not a tool.

You rarely see Neil be wrong, like here. Back in the day teachers were complaining that students weren't learning math but resorting to hand calculators (now there's a phone app). But it wasn't doing their thinking for them (unless they hadn't mastered the basics). A.I. is doing the thinking for people. Neil had a story about the discovery of Uranus, Neptune, Pluto and "Planet X." The data for the orbit of Uranus suggested another planet beyond and that's how Neptune was discovered. The data for the orbit of Neptune suggested another planet, but they couldn't find it by calculation so used brute-force methods to find Pluto. Then it got smaller and smaller until its mass didn't correspond to affect Neptune's orbit. Then they threw out the "bad" data from one observatory and found Neptune's orbit was fine, and we don't need a "Planet X." So someone might need to throw out "bad data" in a future calculation, and that's a judgement call.

FACTSS!!!!!!!

I was so immediately excited!

Flat earthers will be triggered 😂

I know how you feel, I am the same way. I express myself much better in a written form. However a lot has to do with training and what you are used to. I grew up in American schools and don't remember ever having a single oral exam. The mere thought would terrify me. Then I moved to Italy and found out that exams are usually oral, except of course for math, writing an essay etc. Most people here actually prefer oral exams! At first this was inexplicable to me. Then I had kids and they went to school here and I found out that children are trained for this from the very beginning. They are constantly asked questions which they are expected to answer out loud in front of the whole class. Or they have to stand up and talk about a subject they studied the night before. Nobody complains, it is considered quite normal. So by the time they get to high school and college it is old hat. You really see the results, young people here are generally very articulate. Sometimes one hears a young person in the States who speaks very well and people comment, "what a well spoken, articulate young man!" ( or woman). But that is the norm here.

Written over Oral exam? Written always win.

its very hypocritical, hes already at a point in life where ai doesn't impact his ability to earn money, he views ai like CEOs view the people under them.

​@@Sharyk808 It'd be fine if it's just the teacher and me, but in front of the whole class? No, just no.

​@@MechaMonkeyz Well, he was concerned about his books being used, but that made it hypocritical. You can't just clown people concerned about others having AI write their papers etc., then be concerned that the data the AI draws from is partly from you.

I can’t stand him. He speaks like he is an authority on everything, always sure to tell the audience he is a “scientist”. He’s certainly an authority on astrophysics, but he doesn’t understand a damn thing about humanities, art, or AI.

Neil deGrasse tyson has alot of white haters/ republican joe rogan fans.

It's already smarter than us. Einstein was IQ of 160. AI is estimated at approximately that level if not higher. In a short period of time, it will be IQ of 1,000... The exponential rate it's growing is crazy.

That sounds appropriate to the subject.

yes , exactly , we call it ai since abacus invented 😂

@@attilakohbor3360 yes, most premium abacus in whole soviet

AI is the new biden; one minute it's too absurd and senile to do anything and the next it's literally satan with a gun. 🤦

'Balanced'? How? Both of them were pro-AI.

That wasn't balanced lol. They need to have Mo Gawdat on the program. He knows a lot more about the subject and is a brilliant guy. He's also not nearly as optimistic as these guys are.

doing 1 stupid thing arms x people. Doing 1 stupid multiplied AI capabilities can arm a lot of people. Not pondering that is just reckless and NOT wise.

Nope. Do not agree. This is not the invention of the doornob. It is something that is far reaching and nefarious. We have become accustomed to just accepting new tech, no matter what. That is the myth we follow. AI is made up of people, like us. Powerful people maybe but these decisions to roll it out into the world is only done because we collectively either don't care, shrug our shoulders, or encourage others to "get on the bandwagon and adapt". It's a big mistake to do that.

Same here ..because of the space news lately 😊

"AI is used in our phones to recommend apps and music... " Literally none of those have anything that resembles AI, but I get your point. "For example, some experts worry that AI could become so powerful that it could surpass human intelligence " Current AI is not intelligent *at all*, there is nothing that even resemlbes intelligence in there. Simple example: chatGPT looks like it's giving you intelligent answers and if you ask it how to make a particular gas it will tell you not to do that because it's dangerous. But it if you ask hit how to _avoid_ making that gas, it will tell you not to mix X Y and Z. "and become a threat to humanity" But *WHY* would it do that? Why would something *very intelligent* decide that the best thing to do to kill the humans that it depends on for it's survival? "Others worry that AI could be used to create autonomous weapons that could kill without human intervention" We already have that ability, but guess what: nobody is stupid enough to let it run free without human intervention because if a fly does a sh*t on a sensor it might decide that *you* are the bad guy. A good example of this is CIWS, a 20mm gatling cannon that can be set to auto mode where it will track any target within X yards and keep firing until it's radar cannot see the target anymore. Zero AI needed. "but we also need to be open to the possibility that AI can be used to solve some of the world's biggest problems." We first have to educate the people that AI is *not intelligence*. Literally the *only* thing AI is is an algorythm that is been told *by humans* that data has a particular relation and it can then point out that same relation in data it has never seen before. See the chatgpt example: that "ai" does not understand your question at all. It gives you an answer that conforms to what it has been taught. It has information about how to form a sentence that advices against something, it has information about how to make the gas, it has endeless examples of sentences that contain similar advice, and all it does apply the patterns to the data. AI is not going to solve any propblems, *WE* are going to solve problems by feeding data in to an algorythm and designing the routines that makes sense of the data. Don't be Musked into thinking that it;s bad, Musk only objected because he wasn't involved yet and he wanted to slow down development until he could buy a company to get into the competetion.

Yeah Musk is all about that competition lol. I wouldn’t be surprised that he would develop a phone.

Anyways all that was said was from Bard lol.

Oh I'm sure they will solve that with more tech. Remember Zukerberg is dreaming of the day we all communicate telepathically. It's just madness. We are changing ourselves as humans to the point we can't recognize what is human anymore. And beyond being able to spot patterns in masses of data, I'm not sure AI is " already helping in a lot of ways". It is definitely making inroads into creative fields, which is very sad to see.

I take some solace in the fact that, although AI can write a paper, it generally won’t be a very good one-certainly not a stylistically inventive and coherent one. However, that is always subject to change…

AI will be the end of humanity

You can use A.I to detect A.I things

Literally missed his point

oh please. he's an over-inflated windbag

Your calculator wasn’t programmed by stealing millions and millions of works of creative expression from artists without consent or respect.
