What Happens Next with AI Will Tear Society Apart | Tom Bilyeu 

“If people are not honest, we will have a problem”... Well I fear we’re screwed as a society then.

The problem with this discussion is simply this. Human beings are involved. We have the nasty habit of being human with all of the negative aspects of the human condition. That is why utopia has never and will never work.

Society on the verge of collapse even without this Ai. The lack of direction morals hope, not rocket science

We would appreciate it Deeply if anyone could pray for us our 12 year old daughter Candice living with chronic congested heart failure passed away peacefully in her sleep may 30 2022 please pray for peace and comfort with God's love conquers all amen we lost our first daughter 15 years old Angel passed away peacefully in 2018 she had Ms this is very hard we are grateful to God for two wonderful daughters and we will be altogether again praise God praying for everyone everyday God bless you all...

“12 hours research” and “deeply learning about a topic” don’t belong in the same sentence. 12 hours of research is barely scratching the surface of any complicated or complex (no, they’re not the same thing) topic. To really understand a topic you really have to understand the context not just the arguments. A classic example is one can list a bunch of facts supporting the banning of Dihydrogen Monoxide and another can list a bunch of facts on the benefits of Dihydrogen Monoxide but you’re not going to understand until you realize the context that Dihydrogen Monoxide is water. Ok, so that didn’t take 12 hours, but it’s really simple compared to most important and/or contentious topics like climate change, gun control, vaccines, and religion just to name a few.

In Memory of those who paid the highest price

As a guy who worked in tech for the last 25 years, I can see the same things this Tom guy is saying. Things are getting ready to completely change, but we have no roadmap, no time table. There is no plan for helping workers displaced by AI. Media is already downsizing and using AI to replace writers and artists, so are video game studios. Everyone I know is either oblivious, or terrified.

Rich people. They're funny. They always say "the money will not solve your problems". Mmm Hmm. As they go out and buy all their needs with no strings attached with the comfort of knowing they won't be destitute.

I distrust grown men that wear their hats like their teenage children almost as much as AI and those that develop it.

That is ABSOLUTELY not true that the "issue" is harnessing the energy! The REAL ISSUE is who is going to make the money from it! THAT IS IT!!

Fascinating! I never thought that some day I would be looked upon in the same way that I view the Amish. But when it comes to technology, I see the border to a disturbing new reality quickly approaching. It's a place which I will totally refuse to enter. So, it's sobering to suddenly realize that very soon, most of the world will indeed leave me behind...

When I went to school, and I am Gen X, we had classes like home economics, industrial arts, music, typewriting, creative writing, French, Spanish, Italian, machine shop, band, chorus, art, health education, bookkeeping, drivers ed. Plus the basic classes of math, english, history, civics, geography, writing and gym. Then there were the sports of football, basketball, baseball, softball, volleyball, field hockey, ice hockey, soccer, cheerleading, golf, archery, track and field. I by no means went to a fancy school. This was a regular small town USA, population of about 3600. Our politicians, I should say the corrupted career politicians, have chosen to be warmongers and send billions and billions and billions of our taxpayer dollars overseas to other countries. All because they have narcissistic ego tripping thoughts of grandeur in thinking that they can control the world, all while lining their own pockets and selling out the American people. They don't invest in us... They don't invest in our children, our future. That's why there isn't a list of classes, like that which I've just listed, at any school in America anymore. That's why children "your age and younger" as you stated, don't know how to balance a checkbook, don't know how to heat water, don't know how to sew a button, they don't know how to check the oil in their vehicle let alone change a tire. I am extremely saddened by the fact that I didn't see how deep the corruption ran in this country. I am appalled that even one dollar of my taxpayer money has gone to kill another human being anywhere at any time in this world. I am disgusted that my tax money didn't go to the education of American children, that we didn't invest that money into our future. I mourn the fact that we are all about to pay the highest price for these transgressions. But I also hold out hope that we will come together as humans around the world and take the evil that is in control at the moment to toe for their wrongdoing. And I pray that we get to make it up to our future generations and turn this all around.

Wishing everyone a blessed happy memorial day honoring all military personnel military veterans coast guard Navy all people serving USA praise God praying for everyone everyday God bless you all....

Food should not be manufactured.

Why this dude tryna dress like tupac tho 💀

Great interview. Tom runs one of the best entrepreneurship channels, and getting a quick history of how Quest got spooled up was a treat.

The light at the end of the tunnel is that of the oncoming train... I've been saying that for years. Love it. Great talk.

The technology is not the problem, it’s human nature and societies inability to adapt without the govts eventual power grabbing and politicizing it into a weapon. Central governance is always a horrible idea, too much room for corruption, hidden agendas, authoritarianism, and communism masked as something virtuous. The dilemmas are real.

Fascinating interview. Well done all the team and the guest .

40:43 but how does this work, when everyone has different goals of what perfection is, everyone has different life goals? On top of that if we’re just looking at markers for chemical signs of happiness, there are a lot of terrible things that make a lot of people happy. Many people are made happy by the suffering of others that think differently than them. How do you judge the “virtue“ or purity of, someone’s happiness. That’s where this whole idea really becomes quite scary and not that great.

Oh the hubris of men.

First I'm hearing of this guy and the intro segment looked so promising. It devolved into this 'success-mindset' type garbling fairly fast. And, fittingly, the last response from him was pure garble-gold👌

So tired of sites trying to force me to use AI assisted searches... I have no interest in AI and have not even requested AI...

I’m not sure how having a mansion in Beverly Hills leads to human flourishing .

The arrogance of these tech people is unbearable.

Everyone watching this needs to consider the implications AI will have on jobs and our economy, very soon, and demand policymakers start acting! A majority of workers will be out competed by AI by 2030! We cannot stop it, nor do we want to, and we need to start preparing for what it means! AI will only keep advancing. Ignore the instinct to think it'll never do certain things, for I can assure you it will, and far sooner than you may expect. Don't believe those who say we don't need to prepare, as they're probably the ones who'll profit the most from the rest of us struggling. It's not going to create anywhere near enough "new jobs" quickly enough to reemploy all those it will displace! What new jobs could it create, that it couldn't also do itself? AI exists thanks to years of data and content, collected from all of us, that goes into training it to then out compete us. Demand your AI Dividend! Your piece of the benefits your data helped create. How else will we keep workers afloat while they figure out what to do next, how else can we protect the middle class from losing everything they've built? I've yet to hear a better answer, that doesn't just dismiss what's coming.

News Flash! Earth is not a nation. Being a Citizen is being one culturally and philosophically with the greater body of the traditional moral and philosophical principles of that nation.

The largest immediate impact is that most people will lose their jobs to AI very quickly. Entire fields will be wiped out. There was a video about a graphic designer recently who was made obsolete by AI and he applied for other jobs and there are ZERO because they all went to AI, so his career is over. This will happen to most people.

I now have a computer and use it all the time. My professional career compelled me to do so of necessity. My first computer was a 486 running at 25 Mhz I traded it for a 386 30 Mhz with a math co processer for a CAD program. I was 28 years old then, now I am 68 years old. A 486 was cutting edge back then and cost a lot of money. Before then no one owned a PC much less held it in their hand.

Tom is wrong about children's language capacity. In anthropology language skills, also called deep structure, can be learned until the age of 11 or 12. If a child learns a language prior to that age they can think in that language and that is called deep structure. If a child learns a language after the age of 11 or 12 most will not be able to think in that language but only translate in their mind.

One of your best guests. Wow. My mind is spinning.

We know exactly how to harness that energy!!!

With people like him, we're doomed

Id really like to see Dave Rubin interview 7-years ago Dave Rubin. That would be awesome. The one who thought, and had a backbone?

The talk about the future AI Hellscape makes me feel like a neo-Luddite, and I'm ok with that.

Interesting that he said "Could my life be better?" and equated better to more money when he has access to hundreds of millions of dollars. At some point, more money doesn't make your life better.

Bladerunner comes to mind

That Dave was just spectacularly thought provoking and it broke my brain!

Dave, great interview. We all need to be considering how AI might impact our future and what we want it to look like. Cheers.

The weather in LA sucks ass. If you’re out in Malibu and on the coast, it’s magic get over the hill into the basin and shit.

I had never heard anyone describe themselves in the same terms as I describe myself. I too am driven by persistence and not by intelligence However, Tom is obviously smart. He has been fortunate to work and know brilliant people. I see a distinction between the two and acknowledge my shortcomings as Tom seems to do as well.

25:40. The development of the child’s language center is extremely important. This is why having toddlers in group daycare is ultimately detrimental to all of society. This statement was skipped over quickly but deserves exploration by parents.

I consider myself a progressive, but I did not understand the full concept of “unrealized gains” until it was explained so clearly in this interview. Thank you for providing that clarity. I wish I could hear Bernie Sanders respond. Is it possible you could get him on the show? He loves that sort of thing.

By continuing in California your tax dollars are supporting that mess.

I love and admire both of these men and have been a subscriber for a long time of both. Super intelligent but also real human beings. Such an interesting and educational interview. Thank you both!! ♥♥ If a would-be "galvanizing" figure surfaces and is not prone to give his/her power away, the ones in power will destroy them.

Wow I listened to all of this- just wow eye opening- Thanks

This is the only show that makes me say " Wow", so many times! Thank You, Rubin and crew! Great time.

22:42 i was not a CEO, but a Chief of Staff to George Lucas for over 20 yrs and it was incredible training for now. Quest...❤

Alan Watts had a talk called “inception” where he extrapolated where having “the power of god” would lead. Long story short it goes through phases of maximum pleasure, heroic agency, surprise, and ultimately living lifetimes where you forget you’re god and get lost in the anxiety of uncertainty and at the end you wake up look back and laugh. Then do it again…

Thanks guys

This is one of my favorite conversations I’ve seen on this page. Really great.

It has nothing to do with AI and everything to do with community and the dissolution of morality. We already know what's good, the problem is we chose the latter

If AI figures out a way to create cheap or free energy, I would expect that someone is going to control the AI so that they get the benefit and others will pay more. I expect certain people will control the best AI and they are not going to be honest with us about it. It would be too naive to think otherwise

Honest question here but why do people who are grom California over pronounce there syllables.

those who can do, do. Those who can't, teach

That was a fascinating conversation. I agree 100% with everything your guest said.

Oh honey, tell me why we have this need to worship, this need for belonging. Where do you think we came from? You're very intelligent, and I believe if you really tackle this question, you'll come to God. Because you know there is no way we could have just happened. We're made in such an ordered, fascinating, amazing way that something...someone...is responsible for our existence. I pray you come to recognize and know Him as your creator, as your savior. What is truth? Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Your only hope is Him.

Was at UCF in 70's and my understanding"check" or signing and the administration was appalled- imagine now

Here’s my issue. I have no clue what this mystical abundant energy is. If AI replaces most ways of being productive (it can DO everything bigger better and faster) where does man’s spirit go to? What becomes our fulfillment? Without a sense of productive purpose our hearts and minds will turn this energy into very dark energy. Purposeless humans can cause too much trouble!

Big fan of Tom. Thanks! 😊

Everything this guy says is terrifying. I’m glad I’m not so young anymore.

We don't need AI to harness all the energy, Tesla had already figured it out more than a 100 years ago.

Fascinating conversation gentlemen! Love this. I got a lot out of this, not the least of which is the business information. Always nice to find content that is useful.

People think the Bible Gibberish.. Yet it predicted this very outcome in Revelation 13..They shall worship an Image, giving it power over their lives. And it shall do great wonders in their sight. But nobody shall buy or sell unless they have the mark. Sure the hell sounds like Digital Currency and AI..

How can one person define utopia for someone else???

Awesome interview, thank you

🙏❤ Much Love for you all.

The unrealized gains tax is absolutely ridiculous. But the thing some people complain about is hen they pull out a loan against the equity. So just tax any bank loan with equity as collateral

Nice contribution to humanity. We need more distraction from real problems. Physics works well for heat energy waves as renewable dark heat energy throughout space outside of entanglement of mass. As heat entanglement with mass occurs, exchanging singularities point to point chain reactions through all masses in its path as renewable energy creating sparks (known as electrons as physist claim) lighting up surrounding atmospheres like lightning strikes. Grinding opposing currents exchanging renewable energy singularities exchanging singularities through mass until resistance is overcome by open space itself and returns to dark heat energy outside of entanglement. Entanglement is internal magnetic fields grounding currents through all masses in its path. Heat has to be grounded to maintain temperature equalization of pressure. Electricity is rapid heat exchanging through mass, and heat has to be grounded or it accumulates and disrupts internal magnetic fields grounding currents and disolves internal magnetic fields as external energy flow as fire. In atmospheres, cold repulsion of space itself within mass as repulsion to heat propulsion from cold repulsion as magnetism. Space itself is a weak external magnetic field filled with dark heat energy outside of entanglement of mass as cold repulsion to heat propulsion from cold repulsion. Cold space itself is repulsion to heat singularities as anti-matter. They don't mix. They repulse each other. Heat is always external heat energy within and without entanglement of mass. Normal space filled with dark heat energy outside of entanglement is the force of pressure at minimum force with maximum momentum velocity traveling through space. When this external dark heat energy outside of entanglement as potential renewable heat energy when entanglement with mass occurs as renewable heat energy striking mass and exchanging singularities as friction of heat sparks of light are created as daylight in quantum strikes of friction. Like grinding opposing currents, exchanging renewable energy singularities throughout mass in its path until resistance is overcome by open space itself and returns to dark heat energy outside of entanglement. Liquidity infinity as illusionary solidity of liquidity infinity. Heat is the lifeblood of everything. Light doesn't travel heat does. Light is magnification of magnetism grounding currents. Heat magnification of light throughout space and atmospheres. Light is only present in atmospheres and lights up surrounding atmospheres exchanging singularities point to point chain reactions as magnifying light. Heat is the transport of light refraction. Heat has to ground in equalization to maintain 98.6 temperature equalization. Heat coming in at equalization to heat grounding currents outward force of pressure known as weight in a greater internal magnetic field. In space mass is outward force of pressure known as weightless outside of a greater internal magnetic field. Magnetism is the force of pressure. Hydrogen has the strongest internal magnetic field of force flow currents grounding through the core or nucleus as the greatest force of pressure is the nucleus or core. Earth's core is the greatest flow of current grounding. The closer to the earth's core or nucleus, the greater the grounding force of flow known as weight. Table of elements proves hypothesis. Hydrogen under extreme pressure expands into helium. Helium occupies more space itself and contains more energy within neutralized repulsion as force decreases and distance traveling increases in equalization. Cold repulsion is equal to the force of heat propulsion from cold repulsion as distance traveling increases within internal magnetic fields. The internal magnetic fields grounding currents weaken as mass expands. External heat energy velocity is traveling in equalization within mass at the same rate of velocity in space, but in internal magnetic fields, grounding currents into force of pressure is stronger in hydrogen than helium. Force of pressure known as weight within a greater internal magnetic field is always equal to distance traveling and force of pressure known as weight. Mass falls in equalization to cold repulsion within and without mass as force equalization to internal magnetic fields. Magnets show the unification of unidirectional flow cycling circulation patterns grounding back into itself as internal magnetic fields grounding currents of heat. Heat is the decaying atmosphere of stars as dark heat energy waves outside of entanglement of mass as potential renewable energy when entanglement with mass occurs. Heat has to ground or turns into external heat energy outside of entanglement of mass as fire or molten cores or nucleus. External magnetic fields don't ground energy. External magnetic fields have a core or nucleus of pure cold space with absolute zero heat energy within as pure repulsion of cold space itself within. Proximity mass loses its ability to cycle circulation grounding patterns and disolves from repulsion to heat propulsion from within entanglement. Normal repulsion of space is neutralized by the accretion disk surrounding the sphere of monopole of pure cold repulsion to heat energy propulsion outside of the sphere. Galaxies prove hypothesis. The core has the strongest force of pressure circulation around it and not through it like internal magnetic fields like elements and planets. Galaxies surrounding external magnetic fields that spin all energy within its magnetic field. As distance traveling increases, the force of pressure decreases. Equalization of distance traveling to force of pressure. Theoretically factual probability that works with quantum physics without gravity. Magnetism bonding force of pressure from friction of heat exchanging energy through all masses in its path grounding currents through all masses in its path until resistance is overcome by open space itself and returns to dark heat energy outside of entanglement of mass as potential renewable energy when entanglement with mass occurs again. Perpetual motion of Alpha and Omega. Clockwise and counterclockwise. Anti matter. Cold and heat coexist, but don't mix. Degrees of pressure as temperature equalization as internal magnetic fields.

Really hope Tomilu moves to Florida or Texas in the land of the free. He’ll never be a mega, but he will stop being a Biden voter.

One word for all this wonderful advancement ,POLITICIANS.

❤...OMG....one of your better interviews....❤

You dont need to earn your own respect if the underlying affirmation is that you are perfect and deserving of respect as you are.

I had to look him because I thought he was one of the characters in the show 3rd Rock from the Sun from the 90's !!!😮 He looks EXACTLY LIKE HIM !... Its not him btw ,, if anyone even remembers what I'm talking about anyway !😂

Make no mistake. These are two dudes who think they know something, because they played the game and won. Winning the game does not make you an expert on everything, or even the game. The Patriots went 4-13 last year. And the NFL is EXPONENTIALLY more measured and fair than our so-called economy. Bilyeu got above water and now claims to see what is under water. He does not.

Great! One big long advertisement.

So, he thinks people will likely be honest about the metaverse and that people will choose what's best for themselves with social media? He is not connected to reality. I wouldn't be surprised, though, if he stands to make a few bucks off people struggling in both places, though.

It’s irresponsible to default to doom and constantly skew in that direction without representing the other side. You should be helping people plan for transition and find great opportunities instead of driving up suicide rates with doom and gloom. Anyone can spit doom… plenty of channels for that.:.

Fascinating! I'm not an entrepreneur and understand very little about the business world. But I understand that these people are often the influencers, the shakers and movers. And, being a religious person, I pray that such people will be lovers of God and humanity, who desire human flourishing rather than power and domination.

Love this…, so true…, excellent.

"The money isn't going to solve your problems" but it's better to cry in a Lamborghini than on a push bike...

24:00 Dave this point is SO pertinent to people our age (born '78 so still Gen X here) like, my MOM taught me how to balance a checkbook, but I did learn it in my high school, however I am from what was a very small town but we had our own school district. Put it like this, my graduating class well I think 92 or 94 of us graduated, so about a hundred kids in my grade.. so yeah 400 kids in our high school.. Yeah small town, but anyway I took Marketing / Co-op in my senior year and we were taught finances and how to keep a checking account. BUT.. I also took home economics and wood shop and metal shop and computer class, band, typing.. like we had classes to take.. today? Is there still a wood shop in middle / high school? Like we had a wood shop class in 6th grade for one semester.. like there was a wood shop in our GRADE school!

How can these guys sit there, and complain about high taxes.. Then turn around and describe a major problem with our economy, which seemingly the ONLY solution to, is going to be high taxes on companies that use AI, and wealth redistribution?!? If we're going to reach the optimistic outcomes he suggests, there is no way around some form of wealth redistribution! There is simply not going to be enough traditional paying jobs, for everyone! And eventually humanoid robots will compete with the jobs that remain, so any solution that ignores that, isn't a real solution.

Excellent closing statement

Interesting how they talk of love yet say we just may have to get "rid of them", who the humanist. Hmmm. The patronizing and pride have run amuck but for whom. Competing with each other in a morally baseless society. Agape, love is a choice, not an emotion. Whose love are you choosing?

This is the future..adjust is the secret..know yourself first then go figure..sitting behind a screen wouldn’t be the best way to spend your life so maybe creating another productive pursuit is the challenge…this is going to flip so fast…❤️🌎❤️

I have said it before and I shall say it again. Children are the ultimate AI... you can inculcate them with ethics, morals, the best education, love, and yet it will not guarantee an outcome. The optimism parents have when they know they are going to have a child, and when it is born is the same optimism in-re AI.......... read Mary Shelley's Frankenstein

Im both excited and anxious about AI. On one hand, beind a huge gamer it would be amazing to play a game with tons of content to do that would be trivial for an AI to program once it gets that far. Imagine 1-10 people making a game like skyrim type thing. On the other hand, as with modern computers and phones, it seems we lose a little more of our soul the more we throw ourselves at technology without restraint. I think Chaplin put it best: "We have developed speed, but have shut ourselves in, machinery that has given abundance has left us in want. We think too much, and feel too little. "

Jesus Christ died for our Sins according to the scriptures and that he was Buried and he rose Again the third day praise God praying for everyone everyday God bless you All

Are we giving to much credit to AI

i love this discussion. the haves will do great. i sure hope AI comes up with a way to deal with garbage and refuse, otherwise, as now, we would be hip deep in cardboard and plastic bags. oh yeah and bugs but we'll eat them which brings up the question. will the stink bug take the place of garlic?

Come to Chattanooga TN Tom. Households have inexpensive 1 gig fiberoptic internet. Businesses have inexpensive 10 and 25 gig fiberoptic internet and it is County wide. The very center of a Big creative area stretching into GA, the new Hollywood, Nashville, music and video, Knoxville ,private television studios and Chattanooga is the hub.

If you look at panel prices (less than 0.15 USD/w) battery price (less than 80 usd/kWh, total equipment for 10 kw installation less than 5000 USD)and the amount of subsidies, tax brakes and grid upgrades governments give to big companies to provide energy to homes at an ever increasing prices and compare it with how much it will cost governments to provide everything(100% financing) that families will have all energy required at zero cost forever , then you will find that the second option (supporting the families) is much cheaper and it gives not only abundance but also freedom to the individual person. This option requires no talk of UBI that is promoted because every family will be able to have everything it requires. This distributed energy enhances the country security (see drone hits in Russia) and doesn't require grid upgrades.

Politicians are either Dumb or sinister? Usually both. The system likes them that way.

Purity ethos = non-material world view. Most people who indulge in a materialistic world view are unhappy.

I’m excited about , Ai, it’s an amazing achievement.

People get the wrong idea of religion. If the person is religious, they are restrained by most of their religion. Its what made the generation that waged WWII as capable as they were. In fact, one of the basic ten commandments is "Thou shalt not kill". But government didnt give those people a choice. They enacted the draft putting many in a situation of kill or die. But in peace times, people that take their religion seriously dont kill. It created the peace we all grew up in. As time has progressed, people have slowly become less religious. Understand that the more people that abandon religion, the less morals society has. And the less morals people have, the more likely they are to kill. Im 65 years old. In the 1970s, it was shocking to hear someone clear across the nation had been murdered. Now, just about every major city has multiple murders in a single day. If there is a rip between the two types of people you mentioned, it will be instigated by those without religion. Our nation was predominately Christian until the boomer generation. Then, somehow religion got pushed to the sideline. Now the boomer generation are returning to religion. They have proven to themselves that religion has its place in society and they are at the point in life that they are facing their own mortality. Uncertain about what to do about the problems they caused society, they have returned to what their parents taught them. I never really left my religious beliefs and it has not been an easy road, but roads worth going down are rarely easy anyway. One thing I can tell you about it. Failure is certain, but forgiveness is devine. Forgiveness is difficult within your own mind and yet it harbors the forgiveness for you when you fail. It can be as easy as saying "come on in" when you open a door for someone and they say excuse me and rush in. Or it can be as difficult as forgiving someone who murdered your child. And we all have different levels of capabilities for forgiveness. In fact, forgiveness is the key ingredient in a peaceful society. And you know that a society cant exist in perpetual anarchy. Anarchist are very rarely Christian, and if the are, its because that person is in a state of rebellion against his own teachings and will more than likely fail as an anachist. His concience will eat at him. It was a nice interview. Enjoyed it. I hope your optimism is correct about AI, but my common sence tells me that someone is going to misuse the technology and hurt or kill a lot of people. My opinion is that your a bit like the father of nuclear technology was. Too optimistic about how people will use the technology. With a lot of AI robots, a single bad guy can hurt so many people. That is a rational fear about AI. What happens when a billionaire who is sphocotic and he sends his robots to destroy the lower classes because he thinks they are useless? Its a legitamate concern.

If you read the Bible …. It tells you what is going to happen. Get ready. Yoy are not going to want to be here during God’s wrath.

As I listen to the conversation, I don't hear a lot of consideration for how AI will create MORE competitiveness among individuals in society. The assumptions are that those who embrace AI will find a niche to place themselves in and how doing that will put them in a better state of mind and health. But there will ALWAYS be people in EVERY group who will seek dominance and push some agenda that negatively impacts others who don't want that. I believe there is good that AI can provide for society,but if/when it becomes too pervasive, I think we will be in SERIOUS trouble.
