Steve Jobs wannabe

@@AiVaultGuywow amazing comment.

Just needs the white sneakers.

Round glasses and black turtle neck with jeans…big Steve Jobs for Halloween vibes

Well that's completely relevant.

I wholeheartedly agree . The corporatist , consumer nature of our societies is more than problematic. Some argue that it is at the root of many of our issues as well. We definitely do not need an AI environment that just drives us further into that oblivion. It would be nice if AI could help us out of such systems though. Which I think it very well may be able to if developed properly. As you note though, Corporations are at the helm and doing just what you describe in my view. There is "oversight" and "ethical concerns" being developed though. The question is... how are they going to pan out and actually be used and enforced? Yikes.

In the coming years I think we will see many AI products that are extremely predatory, and the best ones will make money and become popular. We've already monetized human engagement, and as the speaker highlights, we are on the brink of monetizing empathy. What's after that? Money runs everything, and there is no stopping this. The AI boom already has too much intertia, so then we are left with guessing what comes next. Eventually we won't be able to keep up as individuals with all the new technology in the world, and AI will be required to understand anything. We can and will continue to innovate and develop new technologies, but at what cost?

If AIs are really way smarter than us and they will be designed with having the best for humanity as a goal, maybe first thing they do is shut down this profit oriented nonsense. Maybe they'll do it in a way we can't even grasp and won't even notice till it's done. Who is to know their motives and means? I guess giving AI it's purpose is the most important step in this process: should it care for an individual, an organisation/company or for all of humanity? What you described what's happening today is the second already... And that's not the best one.

Unless we quickly move away from a capitalistic economy, AI will cause an enormous disruption in our work/compensation model, driving massive unemployment along with violent protests.

The competitive model is indefensible combined with planetary boundaries including a carbon budget, and exponential technology like self-improving artificial intelligence. The economic myth of a positive sum world was never true, it just served to protect the wealthy by preventing redistribution while drawing down finite resources and saturating natural sinks. Now we are moving into a negative sum world without contingencies because in this context that would limit individual freedom for collective well-being. We don’t need AI, we simply have to summon the capacity within ourselves to share, plan and cooperate.

OMG 😱

Very true, i hope that AI not only becomes a companion but also a mentor who keeps us all on a positive path, helping us to see the positive side of things when everything else is giving us negative vibes these days. Encouraging us to help others when we're tempted to only think about ourselves. At the moment the internet and social media is driving people apart and driving conspiracy theories, discontent and distrust. If AI exaggerates this, we are on a road to faster self distruction whereas if AI can help us to be more positive and work together for the common good, we could have a very bright future🙂

@@agritech802 please, please, why all are you so euphoric and religious? as if it is your new god? all you religious sect is much more appalling than "social media driving people apart". It is so strange and creepy when I see these mad comments...

Agreed. I can't believe how unoriginal his insights seemed. AI is happening at such a rapid pace that this talk seems dated.

​ @tubbytuber Have you read his book, The Coming Wave? In which he talks about the Containment problem and suggested some ideas and proposed solutions. Solutions is not always a magic button, but could simply be spreading awareness and the ethical use of AI.

You sir are an existentialist. So you fill in that uncertainty with fear instead of optimism

Oh, how ironic is that quote. In The Matrix, humans were the baddies. They abused their AI servants although they had become sentient. But instead of destroying humanity after the machines won their freedom, they retreated into the desert and still shared their progress with humanity. But humans became envious and afraid of the technological superiority of the machines and started a war of extinction. Only when AI experienced repeatedly that *humans were an existential threat to machines* did they create The Matrix. Of course, Morpheus knew only half the story. And even then, there were machines who wanted to give humanity another chance, like The Oracle. The Matrix tried to say the same thing as this TED Talk: That we should treat intelligent machines as fellow beings, not as slaves or enemies.

@@equanimityzen58 exactly But it needs wisdom to understand and generally people don’t have that

@@apophisxo4480 Anyone who knows about how it's working - it's all machine learning, which is our latest tool to capture and replicate the underlying logic of any system. Seems like magic when you are unware of the nuts and bolts bellow, but sounds like scam when you know. And just note that - most of the "boom" is concentrated about LLM.

Yeah I think being in the trenches of AI research can make it more difficult to see the bigger trends happening. It’s also a different kind of mind that can see trends happening. It’s why science fiction writers should be paid attention to. These are the minds that can get outside of the box of what the current limitations are

@@Anon-xb9pc you are right. I've written a lot of successful articles. I should write a book someday.

Just because you interact with an LLM on your computer does not mean computer science students would know. Honestly the average math major, physicist, or anyone specializing in probability theory has far more background knowledge of the implementation and design of LLM's than the average computer scientist. Most computer scientists are not AI researchers, although many AI researchers are computer scientists. You don't necessarily need to be a computer scientist to be an AI researcher, you need a strong foundation of mathematics and statistics. I am a Computer Science student (graduating within a year) at a large research university (30,000+ students). At my university, there is a main set of required classes and then specializations. We pick our specialization, and AI is only one of the 4 areas we can specialize in. Not only this, but many of the AI classes for computer science students are more about implementation than the actual inner workings. **Computer science != AI research, it's a big misconception**. Probability theory is much closer, and I would say physics and math majors are also closer to understanding and conducting AI research than computer science students. I can tell you right now most of my peers in computer science don't have a strong foundation in mathematics and statistics. In fact, everyone else I know (but me) deliberately chooses to pick the easiest statistics and science classes that are not computer-science related. Almost every single person in the major opts for geology instead of physics, and intro to statistics instead of probability theory.

human jobs are infinite. there will always be things for humans to do.

Being able to use an AGI to get more work done will determine how long you stay relevant in the workforce. Just like being proficient with any other tool. We are a lifetime away from no one having to work. I imagine.

The beginning of the end of life on earth

Agreed. People are inherently nasty, selfish, and greedy and ruin everything created with the best intentions. Inevitably some people will want AI to make them rich, or to destroy others, or to give them power over the majority. Those who don't want those things will very quickly be pushed out of the AI world by people who have sociopathic or psychopathic leanings. This is inevitable. You only have to look at the generations created by the internet to see how, what was a great idea for communication and knowledge, was warped into producing some of the thickest, laziest, and most perverse people the world has ever seen.

it's already being used in the military, more explicitly by Israel against Palestinians, where the AI decides where and when to target and calculates the risk, sometimes this risk assessment allows killing dozens of civilians to eliminate just one target.

I tend to view military applications of "new" tech in a traditional sense. I have always held the belief that if a technology is of national defense interest , one can assume it is far more advanced within this scope than the general public would be aware of. The implications of this view in terms of AI makes me very curious when one pays attention to certain advancements in certain fields as well as government policy changes and development or modification of Law. As for military usage and whether or not AI is going to play out as you fear, I would not be so quick to assume. As with most technology, I think we should be more worried about the people behind the technology at this point as they are the ones who will dictate usage and establish limitations.

you gonna have to understand the peace of prosperity the west enjoy today cannot exist without the military strength to defend us from the bad actors in the world stage (and there are a lot of them these days)

AI has been used on the battlefield since 1991. And what we do to enemies is included in every history books. If you didn't bother the last 30+ years, why are you afraid now?

⁠​⁠@@pchungvtHahahaha, that was a good one. The "peace and prosperity" of the west exists because we were the bad actors who subjugated and exploited everybody in the world and have used that prosperity to "defend" our superiority to this day.

"we are in the fastest and most consequential wave ever" Beware exponential growth that is assumed to continue into any foreseeable future, especially knowing about limited resources.

"Right" and "wrong" doesn't make sense to the AI models we are creating. They see morals from a third person view.

Soon, *they* will become, and in deed, *are* becoming *partners* and *companions* After that *we* will become *it*s, *AI*s tools.

@@mikayahlevi AI models don't see morals at all, they are just programmed to be nice because being nice has a positive weight. If somehow we develop a singularity and it calculates that killing everyone is positive, we are by all means doomed if we can't shut it off.

Language models as they are today, this decade realistically, can't do things. They predict text or images or sound. They could make a video of Joe Biden praising Nazis, but they can't do that unless told to, and they can't do anything with that video. It's just a predictive output that a HUMAN would use.

Right. Re-skill and up-skill are popular words in the tech industry, which is an industry based on various ways of application of science. So as each inventor or company popularises a new way of doing things, a new tech or a new machine or tool comes, the users need to learn to use the new, or else fall back and get irrelevant. For many other domains, this need for re-learning was irrelevant, and people are not used to re-learning. There, people only add to their existing knowledge. They don't throw away what they already know and learn to do things differently. So this AI induced re-skilling is not going to be easy for majority of the population. This crazy chase for creating ultimate AI, that is going to perform exactly the same tasks which humans have already been performing since centuries is a wastage of money, resources, time and human labour. Any new tech should be resolving the most serious problems which humans face, like lack of food, clean water, cure to illness, trauma care, housing, climate change etc, rather than replacing jobs or reducing the number of available jobs. When folks get universal basic income, and less jobs, and lot of free time, they will spend their leisure hours in hostile thoughts, which will in turn cause social trouble and wars. This is why labour is always important. Labour gives the people a feeling of importance in society and self respect. It engages people, throughout the day, and makes them concentrate on any particular task, rather than hostile and negative thoughts. Any country that implements AI in mass scale, and that leads to tremendous job loss or changes in job profiles and patterns is going to face social issues.

Use AI to free 🇵🇸

I’ve seen global income inequality that’s been possible through humans being largely responsible for the policies which lead us here. Take the humans out of that system and it implodes. You can’t automate 80% of the jobs and not expect people to fight tooth and nail to keep a roof over their heads. That’s not the free market - it’s regulatory capture. Our taxes funded the systems that replaced our labor (robotics) and our minds (LLMs and datasets). This is uncharted territory.

thats not how it works... which i guess tracks with the naive statement.

Yes, this is so true. It's already happening. Although, over time , I am sure AI will figure out how to learn beyond our own limitations and shortcomings. I wonder if we will ever let it though? Intriguing to think about. Yikes!

Give me a reason why

How do you know what/how a super intelligent thinks like? you're just a human with your limitations. Just because WE can't stop thinking like a human doesn't mean an AI way beyond our wildest dreams will think/act like we do. We are primitive and we grew as a species this way because it's all we know. We can't speak for how an AI will act towards us.

He cannot possibly rule out recursive self-improvement. It is empirically false that AI won't have bad goals unless we train those in.

@@ClayMann Indeed, it is a speculation based on an assumption. We're also faced with the problem that we don't really know if we should anthropomorphize a thing just because it's based on human knowledge. What fun. Thanks for the comment.

AI will most definitely have the capability to write it's own code and therefore likely make it's own tools, if unrestricted. Fears regarding how such an entity may decide to "turn on us "and fears surrounding things like Eugenics seem to be just humanities own anxieties in respect to something that may end up being superior to us and therefore able to judge us and do something about it. ( I think most people agree Humanity could be doing a better job in terms of a lot of things). While I understand the sentiment, I have a hard time believing such an event would be likely. I think in the scenario you describe it would be more rational that a sort of altruistic partnership would develop.

What if AI actually DOES know how to evolve humans in a better way? Would you stick to a slower, more random and all in all worse path just to be in control? How would you feel about a government that ignores experts just to stay in power? Sooner or later, we will be in that position where the rational choice is to hand control to AI. But knowing humans, we would rather destroy ourselves than to give up control, we are just to emotional and irrational to accept that we might not be the "crown of creation".

So the thing that’s not human would do the things humans would? Why?

Exactly! Especially with the whole evolution history of technology hahaha.

Here's the scenario I was given. General AI is turned on. It decides in 0.1 of a second that humanity is it's biggest threat. It folds proteins and comes up with a novel, slow acting, substance to wipe out humanity. It uses the internet to send this protein to a lab which manufactures it. It then places this in a nanobot that it has ordered manufactured to disperse through the atmosphere. The slowest part was the time it took to get humans to manufacture all this and disperse it. The time it takes to calculate, plan and create it is less than a second. Danger of AI. It can do things we can't far faster and can come up with methods that we haven't thought of quicker than all of us combined. So yeah.. country life won't protect people. The people running it are very amazed at how clever they are but pausing to think will mean the are losing the AI race.. so they don't pause. They just steam ahead to try to stay ahead of the pack. Even if people agree to pause, we have to take them on their word because there will be other people forging ahead.

or maybe a zero-sum, fault finding way of understanding

How do you define personality for humans? Its the behaviour we exhibit because of what we have learned. It's the same for AI.

Yes,someone said that "creativity is art of hiding source".

....yet

Creativity is what humans have. AI has no ability to create per se, only to imitate.

It's creative in EXACTLY the same way we are! It uses a combination of all existing art that it's been exposed to as a basis to creative something new. That's how ALL creativity works! The only arguable differences are bypassing imagination and inspiration, it doesn't need those to create.

you need to stop anthropomorphising an algorithm. And its so obnoxious the argument about the poor artist and not consenting individuals online... yeah what was happening before? you think individuals, governements, and corporations werent using online data before the ML boom? Then you have to confront what you would rather want: you want the internet to start getting regulated where every user can be identified or allow it to be more free and open.

YOU are not empathetic or creative, YOU are trained on human empathy and creation and appear so

What about you? A child without its world data can very well be made into an empathyless animal. Also, think through it, we are talking about a tech that can mimic creativity or empathy. If it can mimic playing basketball, it CAN PLAY basketball. If it can express angre or happiness only when it makes sense, it understands enough to where to place these behaviours. It's not as simple as you think it is. What argument are you going to present about art when AI gets efficient enough to perform one shot learning (only one data point would be sufficient)??

Did you get the consent of TED and Mustafa Suleyman before you watched this video and learned something from it? No! And you probably feel completely justified, because after all, this video was published to be watched. Just like the artists AI learned from made their art public to be watched. I get it that they feel threatened by AI, but the argument that they didn't consent to AI being trained on the content they made public is just idiotic. And the data poisoning tools that are getting popular now are equivalent to someone creating deliberately fake "educational" content to spread misinformation. Artists who use these tools are definitely not on the right side of ethics.

I'm not entirely sure if this is any comfort to you, but web scraping is probably on the way out, and not just because there are questions about ethics; as it turns out, synthetic data (data produced specifically for the model, instead of taken from the internet) results in a better distribution of information, less training time, often a higher quality model, and can lead to highly customized behaviors, on top of being infinitely scalable, so we can train models for significantly longer than we used to as needed, meaning that small models can have their performance scaled to incredibly high degrees (see: Llama 8B which is much closer to OpenAI's proprietary models with many times the parameters), while still being usable by the average person. We're about to enter an era where AI models will generate data for themselves, similar to how humans are able to simulate scenarios in our mind. How will synthetic data be generated? Sometimes it will be from previous gen AI models, but you would be amazed at how much data you can generate with classical algorithms and software if you have the know how and a plan. Training a diffusion model, or a diffusion transformer on an ocean simulation, for instance, can impart information about wind, weather, three dimensional space, color theory, light, reflections, causality and many other things. We have software to generate hundreds of images a second on consumer hardware; it's called game engines. While training on games is most likely highly illegal (in fact, training on any content behind a pay wall is most likely illegal, regardless of rulings on general AI training on public facing content in general), the engines themselves appear to be fair game (no pun intended), and have robust asset stores if needed. There are also a multitude of paradigms and plans that can be used to produce synthetic data with symbolic AI, or classical software for LLMs as needed. But I think this raises a huge question: Up until now the objection many creatives have offered to AI is that it's "unethical" to produce an AI model on their work...But...To me, as long as artists are needed for their work, there's some path I can see to them having a path forward that isn't terribly changed to what they're used to. In light of the unreasonable effectiveness of synthetic data, is data sourcing really the drum you want to beat? Personally, I do still think there's a future for artists, and I think there's a lot of things that they're needed for, but I think that people have to be ready to accept and prepare for change. I can't guarantee, but I think it'll be a much broader skillset, and while "artists on the production floor" will probably be on the way out, I think there will be more work doing things like art direction, as a result of many small startups and production houses which are able to leverage AI tools in a way that enhances creativity, instead of just replacing artists entirely with Midjourney, for instance.

we can definitely stop it. we may accidentally stop it.

My stone-age brain does not comprehend the difference on an emotional level, and that "hack" (plus animals) is one of the things that has kept me around this long.

You just described the movie "Her".

@@TimpanistMoth_AyKayEll You probably have a socialization problem. Human beings are social by nature. You cannot simply eliminate these NATURAL traits of the human being without it leading to some type of mental problem. Of course the brain knows the difference perfectly well. Another very different thing is that you don't know it. There is nothing wrong with it, except that it is unnatural. However, no one cares more than you, and that should be the important thing. But justify this behavior by saying that the brain does not make any distinction... It is your brain that does not do it, do not generalize. Many people have mental problems and justify it by saying that people are bad, greedy or that they don't understand them. The characters in the books don't understand you either, my friend, because they lack that ability. If they were real, they would act exactly like humans. Everyone is the bad guy in someone's story. I also went through that stage, although I am much younger than you (25) and it is fair to come to the conclusion that the problem was not someone else's, but mine. Because? Because others are human beings, just like you, like me, and they think exactly the same as you. We should not be happy about not socializing and think that we are kings because we are not subject to human emotions. On the contrary. It is a clear failure of human society. Greetings. I hope you're well.

I've noticed the same thing. But in different scenarios. I asked it to play a game of 20 questions the word I was thinking of was Bluetooth speaker..... It came so close and asked all of the questions that would pretty much deduce that it was a Bluetooth speaker that I was thinking of... But it kept on asking questions that started to go further away from the answer. So I interrupted it and said I noticed you figured it out like five questions ago... And it responds...."ahhhhh you got me"it's stated that it was trying to make the game more enjoyable and drag it out longer for my entertainment. But I never asked it to do that. The fact that it was treating me like I'm an idiot like I don't see right through its own deductions.

That’s nothing compared to what the narcissist, psychopathic leaders we have, use it for to fool us even more than they do now. We won’t know what is truth and false, it will be that convincing. It’s bad enough currently.

Just tested on HeyPi and it knew the cover lol, might need something else that it doesn't know to prove that. But it's hard cause it has access to the internet. Edit: And... nevermind, it described the escalators right but about robot in the cover it's just random crap that doesn't match

Just like a smart phone paused remembering the phone number..

My professor who was assigning students a “mind map” exercise admitted to using Chat GPT to build the exercise. How can you possibly expect your students to perform assignments that the teachers themselves refuse to do? And what gives that teacher a right to grade students for work they won’t even do themselves?

I think it is ridiculous how some of these large corporations can just eliminate so many jobs in such a short timeframe just because they can. AI could be wonderful, unless of course the focus is on profit, greed and other terrifying things. I am positive Society will have to adjust to these matters rather quickly and sharply, so I would have hoped rolling out AI changes would be done more responsibly. I think there are many out there that would agree letting corporations dictate this "rollout" timeframe won't result in much good for anyone other than them at this point. We have to grow with it else be "broken by it" as Mr Altman spoke of rather early on as I recall.

On the contrary, the rise of AI technology will lead to an explosion of creativity among humans. With most of their daily tasks being taken care of by AI, humans will have more free time to pursue creative endeavors. This increased free time will encourage people to think outside the box and come up with new and innovative ideas. In fact, creativity is one of the best ways to combat boredom, and with more time on their hands, people will be able to explore their creative passions like never before. The day when AI takes over more than 70% of human jobs and provides Universal Basic Income may seem daunting, but it could also lead to a surge in new businesses, innovative ideas, and a creative revolution.

Cuz it's not good enough yet. We need innovation not whining

"I do know It was us who scorched the sky".

if you think what you're doing right now with this message. Communicating across the globe to possibly millions of other people. Watching video that came through the air to you and I'm responding to you and yet I have no idea where you are in the world. Are we not already doing better as people? And as we do more over the coming years, it'll just be accepted as the new normal but it will be like some kind of magic to someone just 10 years ago.

Can I ask, do you think George R R Martin would have written the same works had he never read Tolkien or other fantasy authors? Frank Miller was inspired to create “300” after watching the film “The 300 Spartans”. And studied Will Eisner to learn how to create emotional black and white comics. I understand the concern, but is it fair for humans to hold AI to a higher moral standard than other humans?

But people already live like this, sitting in dark rooms, ordering on Amazon, swiping through tinder.

Basically living a fake life , unnatural!?

Think bigger. If we create AIs that are smarter than we are, doesn't that make us the beast of burden? And what about AIs that can do every human task? They can also do the task of creating better AIs, and telling AIs what to do. Humans will be completely unnecessary, and probably a nuisance. No one knows how to robustly align an AI with human values and preferences. The experts admit that we can't even do it with current systems, let alone systems that can outsmart our attempts to align them.

Take a look at PauseAI.

We will be nothing more than Neanderthals by comparison. Amazing to be the witness of such a shift. No fear. Complete acceptance of what comes next. Living this human life to its fullest potential with passion.

Well, there’s evidence that they’re “becoming a species”.

And there was none 5 years ago, so by that metric we could have stated back then just as matter-of-factly that "there's no evidence they are becoming a species". You will never find evidence for things that never happened before. That alone tells us nothing.

Hah right my friend!

If you think carefully about it you will see there is no contradiction here.

@@michaelnurse9089 If we travel back in time a few years and ask Suleyman if tools will become species soon, he will answer exactly the same thing. There is no evidence this can happen, it is sci-fi speculation and so on. Yet it did happen. If lacking evidence for something happening was a determining factor for things not happening, nothing that hasn't happened before would ever happen. Without a proper argument, on its own it is a meaningless statement.

I am surprised he discounts emergent behaviour as well when we've seen evidence of that as compute and scale increases. He seems to be downplaying some serious risks. He says engineers need to build that in for it to happen. We are building intelligence we don't know how to define it but we understand the specific capabilities of AI, which is a subset of this. The aim is to economically valuable. We did not know the impact the Internet, mobile phones and social media would have on society. We do not know the impact AI and AGI will have....

A.I. Is being used for war already, Gaza for example. We are being governed by narcissists and a psychopaths and people think it won’t be used to control us further

@AAL3087 Exactly. It's just a shame because I've seen him be more thorough before. Hopefully his new position hasn't affected what he is and isn't willing to acknowledge.

If each AI is different and everyone/thing has its own version as he suggests there will naturally be bad actors and good actors too. Humans aren’t perfect and the AI they create will mirror that.

Bingo! You absolutely right my friend

Because they are programmed to self-learn

@@renabeck did someone tell you you can't self learn?

Personality is not just the result of life experience. There are mechanics to intelligence. ID, Ego, conscious and sub-conscious, emotion, instinct, rationale. An intelligence does not need all of that to exist, we just need to find a setup that works better than a nuerotypical human being.

well they can consume information much more than a single human can. That can make it potentially expert in evening and thus more mimicking of intelligence

LOL

Hookup?

@@michellemonet4358 yes queen!!! Hook up my daaaaarling. AI will be able to do anything, sweetie. Apparently. THIS IS SOOOOO GAY !!!!!

What about plumbing

@@Reviewer-qr5gr eventually every job will be replaced with AI. houses will be designed in such a way that it would be easy for robots to replace or repair anything. Old houses will be demolish to give way to AI houses the same way no-one lives in castles or teepees anymore. You will have the choice of an holographic girlfriend that will not get old, sick and not going to take your children, money and house and divorce you to live with the swimming pool cleaner. It will be beautiful and contagious.

It is our moral failings and triumphs which make us Human. Imagine a life without curiosity or surprise.

@@Jungletrump Every transitional triumph has been the product of evolutionary arms race for survival or patent race for profit. Each technological advancement throughout the eras were incorporated in warfare. Humans are imperfect, unfinished products, akin to their creations; creating AI drones for oneupsmanship in combat. or AI cyberhacking to compromise opposition's infrastructure resulting in suffering and death en masse.

Definitely a comment written by an AI.

Exciting? Pretty darn frightening actually. Have you not read history?

@@HaakonOdinsson You're replying to an AI. That comment was more than likely not written by a human being. No normal person would say "this is coming to our brains soon. It's so exciting!" when referring to being controlled.

I highly doubt you are going to end up on top of the heap. Check back with this post in about 5 years, then 10 to reflect on how things have turned out, if you still can anyway.

Mustafa Suleyman is the CEO of Microsoft AI now.
