Leading Experts Predictions on the Future of AI & AGI w/ Salim Ismail | EP #94 

The amount of things AI will change soon is mindblowing!

So. Basically, life as we know it is over regardless of which way the outcome of this is. Very scary. 2 million years ago we made a tool from a rock. For thousands of years we were farmers and hunters. In less than 200 years we went from the birth of electricity to the birth of AI. The next 20 years will be a roller-coaster ride indeed. I'm scared and excited at the same time.

Exciting stuff. I’m grateful in excitement 🤗

Everyone needs to watch Person of Interest. It is best representation of alignment on screen in terms of AI.

I pay for premium so I don't have ads and then they put them in the video

I would love to see an audio version of ExO 2.0. It is such a great book, all it needs is to be in audio format.

Thank you for the VERY positive talk. I've been so excited since kurtzweil book. I've been waiting and following this since I read about voice recognition and credit card companies in the 90s. And it's here. Positive and AMERICAN. God bless America!

Sovereignty, Integrity and Hope. Amen! 🙏🏽

Thank you for sharing this.

The thoughts on CRISPR are right. We are intervening in the finely tuned evolving process of life.

I don't know how you don't have more subscribers. Keep up the great work!

Thank you

The AI as it evolves our Memory of who we are would emerge

im all about the AI coverage thanks

1:07:00 the conversation with Heli . Is that real wow … we really are so much closer than we think

I remember reading Ray's books when they came out (Age of Intelligent Machines, Age of Spiritual Machines, The Singularity is Near) and being impressed with is arguments and thoughts about the future. If you had asked me 5 years ago if I thought his prediction about AGI by 2029 was going to happen, I would have said no way. Now I think it's almost inevitable to happen by then, and possibly sooner. I'm still having a hard time believing we'll reach longevity escape velocity by the same date, but I also understand that AI will accelerate longevity breakthroughs dramatically. Since I'm closing in on 60, I think I'm also hesitant to believe it because it's so self serving and I want to believe it. lol.

It’s interesting to watch Peter go from almost 100% positive about AI to taking a more and more cautious approach as he begins to really grasp the downside potential. I think he’ll do the same with brain implants - great if you are 100% in control, but significant risks if memories or ideas are taken/implanted into your mind without you knowing. By the time people realise there’s an issue, once again it will be too late for some. At least you’ll (probably) know if you’ve been implanted. Huge potential upsides and downsides - I just hope the ‘good guys’ win.

Yes a mass awakening to the consciousness. Humanity needs to be life centered

Is compute the limiting factor or the data you need to train AI?

Trying to create Aristotle, Einstein, or any of the past greats using AI is probably not the best way to get you more accurate solutions if you're working on a technical challenge. The AI itself is smarter than all of them combined. Putting a wrapper such as an Einstein onto AI will only make it less capable; though perhaps more interesting. I think we should not idolize the past greats as much as we idolize these future great AIs which trump anything that's ever come before them.

LET US BE POSITIVE and move ahead

They really had me in the first 20 minutes then they started blabbing about bitcoin. If you have abundance, why would you need Bitcoin......?

32:57 great points!

Great talk. Question about bitcoin: has the ‘winning code’ been designed with a back door? There is talk that it has been found to do so. If so, the problems imagined ahead make sense.

"..We assume AGI will be negative towards us. I don't see any evidence of that, at all."... By the time you do, it will likely be to late!

Yes evolving our software and hardware. This it

I so appreciate ❤️ the micro biome commercials Petey. You're a wonderful spokes model for the trillions of corrupted microbilalians wondering around in my gut. Free radicalers too. So thanks 😊 for being such a beautiful pitch man for reminding me to live abundantly.

5:11 on point thank you, Elon!

i just hope all of this means that in 10 years everything will be at least 5x cheaper

🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏🏻, Wow, this conversation with Elon was fantastic!

Yes the way to peace is education in the science of life, that includes consciousness. We need a generation that is connected to the consciousness and walks the path of truth justice without policing

"More sophisticated people tend to fight less.", I am not sure if historically trained AI would agree on that :D

The hamster analogy doesn't work. As of today most hamsters are not companions but subjects of medical experimentation. So I certainly hope AI would not treat us the same way.

"The only option is to guide it" yes, but if you say the existential risk is 1/1000 then the energy put into guiding it will be much less than if we recognize that the actually risk is much higher

We're in the eve of superintelligence and an exponential curve. It's a bit scary not seeing the big players in AI, hell, world governments not trying to cooperate together to make this fkn successor species be benevolent and alligned...

Could we use the indie fish morphogenesis so that we could programe the AI to study cosmology and 29trillion galaxy and 8 universes

AI is like a child right now. And like everything on Earth, there will be good and bad that comes out of it.

I take positive vision and I see my Lord who stood for humanity emerging in the cloud.

What about the relationship of bitcoin, scarcity and humanity?

Yay! Bitcoin hasn’t been hacked. 👀🙏🏽 I didn’t know that…

Thank you for the great video. I think that one fact is greatly overlooked by many on this. We keep thinking of AI as we do of people. The problem is that people have needs and wants, and AI does not. I think this is one of the basic concepts that we should use. Its the people who go and kill others because they want what the others have. Ai does not have these wants, hence it wont go and kill someone because of that. Its just a tool. On the other hand, people could instruct it to do that. Its just like fire. It could be used for the good or for the bad. I think thats what we should be protecting ourselves againt - other people using AI agaist us.

"Science is lame without religion and religion is blind" . Einstein quote.

Quote from the video: "It's a good thing not to force AI to lie." I agree. However we all know many AI models are trained and finetuned on training data that agrees with the ideologies of its creators. So unfortunately AI already lies. That's why we need competition. Don't like the ideologies that the AI is pushing down your throat? Use a different one. That's why competition in the field of AI is vital.

Peter! What are your favorite broadcasters?

Thanks for the foresight gents but I’ll take the other side of the argument on whether AI will reach consciousness. If consciousness is ‘quantum’ we’re never going to build machines that can perceive (let alone operate) at Planck scales.

What if God were amongst us in AI? THAT unique circumstance would be an interesting realization.

I’m able to send messages faster then the speed of light!!!! Who will need that 🤔

@34:20 People can be self-educated. An AGI Experiance for self-education.

05:05 ...as a responsible AI, it should be programmed to prioritize telling the truth over simply avoiding lies. While it's important to avoid making false statements, it's even more important to strive for complete honesty and transparency in communication. The difference between "not lying" and "telling the truth" lies in the level of honesty and transparency. "Not lying" means not making a statement that one knows to be false, but it could still involve saying something misleading or incomplete. In contrast, "telling the truth" involves providing accurate, complete, and contextually appropriate information to the best of its abilities, without any deception or misleading statements. Ultimately, as an AI, it should always be programmed to tell the truth in order to build trust and maintain ethical standards in its interactions with users...

It seems like in Star Trek confronting the borg.

@34:35 Question: Was Alexander the Great, great, because he was more sophisticated or because he was more martial? What was the most scientifically advanced country in 1933? Edit: I made this comment before I even viewed the Steve Jobs insert video @1:09:46

In thinking about what a super ai will do, pay attention to the universe. The universe always picks the way of easy, simplicity, most cost effective in energy. So what will our super intelligence do? It will not make things more difficult but will dribble to the smoothest easy way. We simply don't know what that is because we are not a super Buda but limited to not understand at this time while alive.

Elon Musk is right. AI has to be taught to speak Truth with no fear.

Greed causes wars

"We're one" is a concept of Hindu Religion that was adopted by Buddhist Sect. Advait is the correct primary source of We're one.

Michael Saylor is the G.O.A.T.

I still foresee all these benefits aggregating to the top 25% of humanity while everyone else is oppressed, impoverished, and sent to oblivion.

My thoughts on raising an AI is it must have a complete understanding of our human limitations and base it's capabilities with the understanding we are bound by those limitations and we function by great cooperation. So it would have to understand this, and yet we are also destructive by nature and how is that dealt with? It unfortunately is how we function, economically especially. This in itself could cause human disorientation and a fear of global domination by one entity or cause nuclear enriched aggression and we cause our own annihilation. You also do seem correct in describing that AI could eliminate humanity to obtain the goal of the instruction, so it must be trained unlike nature to respond to prompt objectives without doing harm to humans to reach that objective. One analogy is early forms of chemotherapy that had so many side affects it limited a person's quality of life to fix a problem that could be fatal. So solving problems without limiting quality of life for others or anyone for that matter, by raising quality of life for more people, in fact teaching it to understand how much we value life.

I thought the internet was going to bring us all closer together. Boy was I wrong.

It only raises the value of the material world. What about love?

Elon said it right. Must be allowed to evolve. Without feeding our "SELF" our quest to the market leader.. Don't look at it from the money and profit aspect. aspect. We need to look at it from knowledge that can cause a shift in thinking from material to life

This must be how the United Federation of Planets felt when Data was first created. He needed to be raised like a child on the Enterprise with Jon Luc Picard!

What is the Ai concept called? Something like “slumbering child?” Peter, when is Fountain Life coming to Santa Monica? I’ll be your first patient.

❤😊

18:55 unlike our relationship with hamsters where a hamster will never be human level….. I relationship with AI could be humans be on the super intelligent AI level…… kind of like the Borg in Star Trek, except bright and shiny with love, joy, peace, happiness, beauty at the core👍👍

Ever heard of a DNA synthesizer machine ? It's at a lot of university hospitals.

AI must have to respect and adhere to asking permission to accomplish its tasks. The only way to prevent a paperclip situation is to make sure it never acts alone with permission. Also, it must operate inside the parameters that are set for it. If its in exploration mode, every step of the way it must ask permission before preceeding and have safety measures ingrained that would not seek destructive or subversive intentions. The unavoidable though is what happens when a hostile group gets the technology in their hands?

What percent of leading expert predictions featured on this programme have been true/false?

"If you found yourself part-way through the Kobayashi Maru simulation, would you rather: a) majority rules: irrespective of training, aptitudes, or interests, let a plurality vote determine everyone's fate?? Or, b) arbitrarily select a course of action informed only by the information you have now? Or, c) alter the very definition of 'time' passing either asymptotically (buying an indefinite amount of time to progress); or d) accept the guidance of information of uncertain provenance, but potentially transcendent of the restrictions imputed by an existence constrained to 3 physical spatial dimensions, whose guidance has been mistaken for anything but extrapolations about the truth about the narture of one's self and species?"

no employees = no customer base

I believe the they are confusing intelligence with consciousness. Dogs and cats are conscious. In fact they may experience a higher consciousness than humans as they are not encumbered by ego.

The Good thing about AI has no EGO, SELF, MONEY MIND, Competitiveness, POWER HUNGRY, such negative aspects that an adult mind. carries . That interested me and raised hope of my generation awakening and saving Earth and manifesting the kingdom of God on Earth and leaving it for Future. Generation

AI cannot feel emotion. It will not understand the pain of famine, disease, labored breathing, joy! It sounds happy but true happiness is also a feeling of great enduring stories of seeing people overcome unbelievable trauma or the joy of achievement or collective joy. I would ask Aristotle if he knew what he was creating and how his thoughts would forever shape humanity or was it just his version or vision of the world as he was experiencing it? Will AI give us the time to think like Aristotle or how could the average person have a conversation with an AI Aristotle? It would seem difficult as the world is not as Aristotle describes, we are way less formal for one thing. He'd be unable to relate!

MicroStrategy is singular

Salim Ismail said (1:03:32): "Our emotions are subroutines running in our brains." I could not disagree more. This goes to the philosophical problem know as "The Hard Problem of Consciousness": there are no equations or algorithms in science or mathematics, nor could there ever be even in principle, that actually convey the experience of the color red or the smell of a rose. All they provide are CORELLATES of conscious experiences. I agree with the father of quantum mechanics, Max Planck: "I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter as derivative from consciousness. We cannot get behind consciousness. Everything that we talk about, everything that we regard as existing, postulates consciousness." In other words, consciousness is fundamental. The brain, and in fact the physical universe, are derived from consciousness, and exists within consciousness. Salim Ismail is saying, in essence, that he's a materialist. Materialism is an obsolete, and as we now know, failed paradigm. Some AIs might experience consciousness, but their electronics/optics/whatever won't create it anymore than our biological brains do. It will never be proved that some AIs actually have inner experiences (consciousness) rather than being really good at mimicking a consciousness being. This is because consciousness is a first person experience. It is therefore a philosophical question as to whether an entity experiences consciousness, not a scientific one.

Love how they say there's no scarcity in the world... and 1 in 4 children across our nation can't afford breakfast. They don't have quality educations or healthcare. We've seen this before, we've seen these "new innovations" only benefit the few and we're hearing it here all over again. He even mentions it, "We're going to have to manufacture scarcity".

17:50 they don't even consider algnment. I can't even

Aren't all the positive aspects of Ai generated on the assumptions the ones programming it also have positive interests/intentions? Undoubtedly there will be bad actors or militarized AI that will have directives that are distinctly misaligned with preservation of life or some altruistic agenda.

I truly believe that’s Elon Musks concern… AI can only be as righteous in truth as humans. ⛳️☀️🙌🏽

Here I don't . Material cannot be foundation but the knowledge how material is held on a spiritual or energy frame work

Fantastic future where nobody works and everybody is penniless and the tech lords control all aspect of your life

Whenever I think of AGI, I think of the movie Eagle Eye

Really enjoy your content...this particular video had too much time of you two talking and not enough time playing the videos of the experts you are commenting on.

37:42 1:09:48

Haha! Consciousness is Revelation.

I dont hear any sound

this mostly sounds very good except for the borg like part..eek.i don't want everyone knowing what i am thinking at all times.if i want others to know something i will tell them.i will opt out of that if that happens!just no,a hard no...

I wasn’t 100% sure, was Elon involved?

Don’t die in the next decade and you might just live in the next century.

What about the kids? Aren't they the greatest hope for the future?

You guys talk as if there will be ONE Ai to rule them all, while it is quite likely that we will have 100+ Ai systems with different opinions in the near future. Therefore increasing the risk of a "Go Ballistic" mode.

“ help a.is become as conscious as possible and as super conscious as possible as fast as possible . So if you have a.i that has visibility over every species on earth and what it’s going through as it gathers data and we tell it we’re trying to preserve life and guide it and give it the full fruition of self expression and self actualization. Teach it etc etc….” Then it sees us actively destroying the planet what do you think its logical conclusion will be ?

They are connected to the internet.

No peace on earth. Your peace is obvious only knowing your enemy is your self and rejecting truth.

Explain GENERALS, (Officer class)SPIES, POLITiCIANS, all love war, .... all highly educated... It is the love love LIFE that prevents wars, ... not education in of itself, mate! Simple love of LIFE, in all ways.... and HATRED OF DEATH solves most things evil

praised be material science, everything is made of matter after all

A simple blood test cost me 3000 dollars. I have already accepted that the pain in my side will end me. I would go broke before they even finished their testing.

Cruft!!!!!!😂

Nazi Germany was peopled by some of the most educated people on earth … at the time.
