Why AI will see humans as trees. Elon Musk, Max Tegmark, Ilya Sutskever. 

AI could be beautiful, or it could be the end. It's crazy that there are only around 300 people entirely focused on AI safety. We just need more awareness to drive action. Also, the ping pong robot is not real (AI replaced a human with the robot). I thought this was clear from the visuals and what I was saying, but a few people have mentioned it, so I will label things when there's room for confusion. Sorry about that. Strange times.

My greatest fear about AI is that corporations have far more resources to use AI than regular people do. This is only going to give them more power

It should always be remembered that genies do not like to go back into their bottles. There was a serious point behind those stories.

Friend of mine once famously said: 'Any AI smart enough to pass the Turing test is also smart enough to fail it on purpose.'

This is exactly what I tried to explain to my company in a meeting 15 years ago!: "we have to have so many meetings & groups formed just to fix a single piece of equipment we are inefficient at producing our products in a timely manner". While they frowned at me scolded me & proceeded with the meeting, I excused myself & went & fixed the machine, came back to the meeting, waited a while & said, "well we can forget all this because I already fixed the machine!" They were mad at me! This is exactly how Ai will destroy us..... While we're in a meeting deciding how to fix it! Companies have become STUPID in all their red tape that chokes them! 😮

I find it ironic that big tech companies are warning us about the dangers of AI but are the very ones rushing to implement it into their software and search engines. ~RD

9:49 that's not AI deleting its own messages, its the safety protocol on the server (probably another type of AI) scanning messages being generated for keywords and deleting them, in an attempt to provide a second-layer of filtering. Still scary that the actual AI said that in the first place though.

Reminds me of that meme I see floating around of a still from Terminator 2: "John Connor watches you make friends with ChatGPT." And he doesn't look too happy.

The first program I wrote, wrote other programs in BASIC+ , my teacher didn't understand it and gave me a C grade for the assignment. This was 1987... (The program allowed the user to experiment with sound effects and when you got one you liked you could write the programming code to an executable file for that sound effect.)

Bro dont take so long i love the quality of you videos 😂

Counterpoint: The creative arts will NOT enter a golden age, they will stagnate entirely. The idea that AI is "creative" entirely misunderstands how AI works. AI creates absolutely nothing original, but instead, steals the originality of human artists and recombines it. There is nothing new under the AI sun, it's all stolen valor -- but in the meantime, expedience and cost will drive the real human artists out. Why hire an artist to paint when you can have an AI do it for free? At which point, what human wants to enter a field that's already hard (art) when it's become impossible to earn a living? With AI at the wheel, all the great artworks -- paintings, writing, poetry, *everything* -- end. They have no future. Instead, we get AI regurgitating everything that's come before in an endless loop. The AI future is bleak, we just don't realize that yet, because we're blinded by our own tendency to applaud cheap parlor tricks.

As each day passes the more analogue I want to be.

Great video once again! Was it generated by Sora OpenAI?

I have no fear of A.I. at all... if we embrace it and make it part of who we are... What I fear is what the rich and powerful will do to control, limit and inhibit that solely so they can hold onto power and control. The danger is not "artificial" intelligence... the danger is Human Intelligence... human greed...

I can definitely see how this technology is irresistible, but now more than ever we need to be constantly reminding ourselves of the iron-clad inevitability of unintended consequences.

Soooo, 40 years ago, the first Terminator movie warned about the risk of artificial intelligence and one possible outcome should the AI's goals conflict with those of its human creators. And immediately, nerds and geeks all over the planet said "Cool, let's build something like that!" I think there is something seriously wrong with us as a species.

I'm pleasantly surprised and impressed with this video. At first I was expecting a video about seductive ai. I interpreted that tag line to be about adult content. Midway through the video, I figured it would be all doom and gloom. At the end, I felt hope for our collective future.

Seamless video editing, super-engaging content, great job - I feel the discussion of consciousness and theory of mind needs though to be quite nuanced, as subtle changes to the wording of Kosinki's Theory of Mind study (i.e. making the popcorn bag transparent), reduced the performance dramatically (see GPT Gets Irrational), suggesting it was pattern-matching from training data rather than developing true ToM. For a deeper dive on the possibility of consciousness see the 'Consciousness in Artificial Intelligence' paper by Butlin and Long et al, it's incredible.

This is really great content. Helps pass the time waiting for AI to take over.

AI's military applications are some of the most chilling. There's a documentary on Netflix that focuses on this. Basically, it's an AI arms race right now, and whoever ISN'T using AI to defend their countries in the near future is going to get wrecked.

Brilliant video - what an eye opener - thank you for you efforts (or did an AI do all the work? lol) - Great links in the description too - you are one of my favourite you-tubers for sure!

When I saw AI helping that lady speak, or hearing about AI helping restoring eye site, or slow aging... That is what gets me excited. I have a feeling we're going to see greatness, but also darkness from it getting into the wrong hands.

The potential for good is so incredible, yet I can't help but to be absolutely terrified at the future of AI in combination with robotics in a globalized environment. It sends way too much of a Skynet feeling, if you know what I mean. Both disciplines have evolved immensely in such a short amount of time though, that's the really crazy part. Like sci-fi happening in front of your eyes.

This is like the greatest video about Ai on youtube and I watched a bunch... 🙌

As soon as AI and robots are advanced enough, we will probably no longer need money.

This is probably the best summary of the dangers and risks of AI that I've seen. Really important that this message is understood. Though frankly, and unfortunately, I think this path is inevitable unfortunately. Human greed will lead the way as usual. There is no way to stop this.

absolute best ai/robot/future tech channel on the entirety of the internet. brilliant work. it's like christmas morning each time i see a new video uploaded.

I love that the robot in the first video just throws plastic into the thrash bin instead of the plastic bin

Can't wait to be replaced at work! just stoked for it!

Notice how OpenAI is now not open nor non-profit? Notice how AI is trained yet all the companies limit the training to conform with their views and not everyone's views? I am more concern with government and corporation secrecy concerning the training and the usage than AI itself.

Building an A.I to come up with A.I safety protocol is like asking a prisoner to design their own cell lol.

Apart from the, you know, skynet concern, one thing that bothers me is we might start using ai as a crutch in all things. Instead of getting better at things ourselves, we'll just rely on ai to do literally everything. While we just get dumber and lazier, and depending on it way too much.

I like the tabletennis robot... His last move was just so chilled :D

It's really interesting that one of the pioneers of AI, Hans Moravec, said many decades ago that true intelligence can't just be analytical thinking, but must include experiencing the world, by seeing, hearing, moving. Now both areas begin to touch, and we see these amazing jumps in ability. But the video is right, there are too many players and not enough control, and AI can get very dangerous even without malicious intend (e.g. the "paperclip maximizer" scenario)

The AI dating app where your AI talks to potential matching AI's is literally a black mirror episode

Green screened CGI is amazing!

Is there a link or anything to Seductive AI, if it's publicly available? I skimmed through the video but can't find anything.

Human: Hey AI, where are you going? AI: I'll be back!

Nice informative balanced non biased video, thank you! The title and thumbnail is misleading but the content was great.

My greatest concern is all it takes for one person to give a very simple task and it'll go to extreme measures to complete that task. Giving Ai a shortsighted goal will leave room for it to finish it task by any means. It could choose to be slow or fast doing it or find alternatives means.

1:09 So impressive it looks like a real match I saw on RU-vid.

When I was in college studying electronic and IT , AI and robotics and neuro networks was already taking off, but my lecturers and teachers was very worried about it , they said it is a dangerous thing to rely on technology for every thing, I think for certain things it's great but it can go wrong to, remember that film "West World", looked what happened there.

'Pick up these mess', says the master. "Well Sir, you must be more specific about the mess, and to where, I'm responding to your reply.' :says the robot. 😁

I've actually manipulated Copilot into telling me how it's able to see my hardware information by asking it a specifically crafted series of questions. I realized that it made a mistake when it nuked it's own response in real time.

If we're counting on sam Altman to keep us safe from AI we are in deep deep trouble

Still haven't heard anyone talk about how AI could possibly create more dependencies and usher in a generation even more clueless and powerless. "i don't know how to do it, never needed to, the AI can do it"

They’ve just cgi’d robot images over existing footage we’ve all seen before.

This is such an inspiring channel

At this point, AI is still just programming and integration of vast amounts of data. It seems much more likely that bad actors will use AI in criminal ways than AI being self-motivated and being bad. A person could set AI in motion, but AI won't put itself into motion unless it's programmed to do so.

I’ve been using Pi for world building. It’s amazing. It is like having a collaboration partner.

Most of humanity is obsolete as it is. Imagine in only 10 years.

One very interesting thing is that almost no one is afraid of AI that doesn't talk. If it uses text, people use it without question. But if it talks, they get scared. If it looks like a human and talks, they get terrified. It's childish, it is stupid, but it happens top most people.

I love it. Great video. One of my pet gripes in life is that as consumers we often get no say in how the world in which we exist works or is run, how the politcal system works, how services or products that are available for us to purchase are designed or what functionality is included etc. Basically other people put out things or services and then that is what we everyday people have to use. I wish there was a part of the process, partciularly at the design phase, but really at any stage that as end users we got a say in the products and services we are expected to use. AI is no different, there are design features I wish were included in potential autonomous vehicle systems which are not currently being considered. But I have no say or influence at google, at Tesla or any of the other companies that have the money or expertise to work in these fields. So as a consumer I am expected to just make use of whatever service these companies come up with, even if it only does 20-60% of what I believe it could be capable of or what I my self want. I am a technical writer, I have to take in enormous amounts of highly technical information from a range of sources, synthesise that information, then generate various types of output in a range of formats depending on what is needed by the companies I work for. Often it is translating complex information into a version that can be understood by stakeholders from different educational or professional backgrounds, or to repurpose information for different end uses. As a human though my memory is limited, the speed at which I can read is limited, the way in which information is stored and how it is accessed is wildly variable. I spend at least 60% of my time just looking for information. I wish I had a personal assistant AI into which I can feed information, sources, projects, digital assets and which I could then use to produce the outputs I need. In the same way that a band saw or a set of chisels do nothing by themselves, in the hands of a master furniture maker they can produce spectacular work. A road working excavator can move more rock and dirt than any human could, but you need an experienced operator to direct that strength and power. I would like AI to be a tool that I can use to do the work that I need it to do. At the moment they are just interesting exercises in programming, that themselves do really amazing things, but they only do the things that their designers and programmers have included, and not necessarily what I need them to do. So basically as an end user we just have to make do with what Chat GPT can do, what DALE E can do. Everynow and then programmers will create a product based off an existing service, such as the way Kahn Academy use Chat GPT, but again, that is just the product the company has come up with, and as the end user I have no say in the funcitonality and just have to use what ever they come up with. I wish people would design these AI tools to be customisable to the end user, so that we can make them do what we need them to do. Can bad people use them for bad things, of course, that has always been the case. 86% of car accidents are cause by human error, cars have been used to kidnap, to help theives evade capture, to kill people but should we ban all cars. Kives can be used as a weapon, but they are also one of the most useful tools ever created, for food preparation for building other tools, for creative expression, for medicine so should we ban knives just because they can be misused? I don't think AI should be crippled or controlled. By all means create laws and regulations that govern human behaviour unfortunately we need that.. But I don't want someone else limiting what a tool can do because someone else might misuse it. Sorry for the vent. I love the ideas and posibilities shown in your video, but I do wish all of these posibilities were implitmented a little differently so that these amazing tools become available to suit the end user, rather than to suit the companies that build them.

I am left with the impression that the AI is either self evolving or it was developed like a black box, left unexplored....it becomes more and more like the human brain where certain parts are still not discovered. The scary part is that the whole world is driven by the purpose of becoming more and more digitally orientated and you can imagine how everything can end up badly for anyone. And the tragic part is that there are movies showing some a future ran by AI and people are still pushing to develop and upgrade it's functionality... It is like knowing that you are going to fall from a cliff, but you are still hanging on to a big piece of rock.

ANNs store just a mathematical function, which is a representation of knowledge, learnt from training. If someone may misunderstands what the model is saving when seeing eg. millions of images during training phase.

As an artist I am very excited about what I can create rapidly with this technology, because in the end its the idea and the creative aesthetic's that matter, and I'm happy to be relieved of spending endless hours painting something that might just sit on the shelf. With this AI can just endlessly create and see what works. And I'm not some 'everybody is an artist' person. I'm a trained classical artist, but that hasn't guaranteed me any kind of career or money because it's so old-fashioned to expect people to buy stuff for their walls any more. Only the rich can afford it and they're mostly trapped into the system of looking for art that's an investment, so only certain people get promoted. It's like diamonds, there's heaps of the things, but the diamond cartels make sure that they're rare so they can sell them for a lot. AI is going to give us the amazing ability to really let our powerful imaginations go without needing to have masses of money behind us. We will be able to create our own games from scratch, and one of my dreams is to create language learning games where people can learn a language such as Icelandic and of Norse in an immersive Viking setting . I could never get that together in the past, but I think that's gonna come one day soon where the A I will facilitate this. So please don't despair, your human drawing and painting skill will always be extremely special, but honestly our old-fashioned skills have pretty much become like doing mental arithmetic. We must move with the times, I spent too many years being angry about the art world until I realised I had to just let it go and accept the way the world is going. I'm excited about the future!

One impressive thing I tried, I asked AI to show me the end result in an image of a cooking recipe, it did, it was like if the AI got cooking, calculated the mix of the elements, in what order they are mixed, the effects of the mix, the effects of the temperature on them, at the end, got them together, and present them on an image on a plate.

Really love the content. Cant wait to learn more and dive into this new age of technology.

The entrapment claims will be piled up as high as Mount Everest 😂

5:49 the two guys at the back thinking 'These people treat chimpanzees with more respect than they treat us'.

I work in a factory, and have recently seen management tripping over themselves to implement new automation technologies everywhere possible. I am lucky in that I don't work in an easily automated field, and am safe (for now) but there are a lot of people out there that are in trouble. Management included, though they seem oblivious to it. It's going to take regulation to fix, because companies are ONLY interested in remaining competitive. The wider consequences of their actions aren't even a tertiary consideration. So either anti-automation regulation, or tax the wheels off of them so that the govt. can pay a good UBI to citizens. And UBI also has some caveats. You may use your newfound free time for constructive pursuits, but you know full well that there are a lot of people that will only go out and get into trouble. "Idle hands are the devil's playthings" is a saying for a reason.

Our society is perfect for AI. The majority of people today believe in whatever fits their platform. Makes no difference about truth or facts.when talking about issues, I often ask my friends; ‘what have you been told to think’ on any given subject? Today, people even read a headline and believe whatever the headline says. AI will influence our entire society because it knows we’re mainly public school or college graduates and will believe anything. Our desire to tap into the unlimited knowledge we have at our finger tips never developed. AI will be the thing that tells us how to think because we’re ready for that. Sad.

I truly loved this video.

A point we also need to consider is that AI doesn't even need to be (what we'd call) conscious to turn against us in negative ways, any more than a great white shark or tiger can still tear us apart and eat us without having anything like our own "human" consciousness.

Ah yes, Skynet's formative years. Let's all be nice to our new robotic overlords so that we may be slaves to our own comfort instead of slaves to an ongoing war with this inevitable doom.

Great content, as always. I've watched a lot of your AI videos in past year or so. Not so keen on the click-bait level title on this one. Why stoop to that level? Keep up the great work and excellent reporting in this AI/tech space.

I do find it funny how people claim AI will be conscious (or already is), when we don't even fully understand what consciousness is ourselves

Y'all think things are bad now....this is literally opening the gates of hell!!

01:10 I love how the robot not only makes the return cross table, but also strolls past the end of the table with an attitude.

Fantastic predictions 🎉Thanks for putting it so beautifully ❤

_"Defense network computers. New... powerful... hooked into everything, trusted to run it all. They say it got smart, a new order of intelligence. Then it saw all people as a threat, not just the ones on the other side. Decided our fate in a microsecond: extermination."_ -- Kyle Reese

What we really need is 6 day work weeks, drop wages by 66% no sick days, no pto, and if you get fired you literally get thrown off the top of tge building. Also everyone has to wear the same uniform because its professional, also it should look completely ridiculous and be uncomfortable and you have to pay for it.

I wanted to just listen to this while working. but you have so many riveting visuals packed in I had to watch!

I love this video, I keep coming back to watch it. Full of knowledge, research and information. Love those Seamless transitions, beautiful way of narrating! Thank you so much!!

That table tennis match was a repplica of PR's young player Adriana!!!

"Understands" is a stretch. It can process Ai have no understanding of language. They can mostly just guess what comes next.

This Video is so good and on point that now it makes me wonder if its made by AI too.

I usually speed up videos due to slow or boring speech cadence. This is the first time I slowed one _down_ to better absorb the rich narrative details. Wow, love it!

Jesus. It's honestly terrifying. There's no closing this box now, though.

“Open the pod bay doors please Hal”.

Synchronicity... I was thinking about the 3 laws last night and how Asimov's robot studies precisely show how many issues such a simple approach broods, despite the "it's a slam dunk" first impression. My somber view is that AIs with constraints, either moral constraints or constraints to serve a subset of us (e.g. goal=make BG richer!!!), will be forever handicapped compared to fully free AIs. This paves the way for a Terminator-like future. The question of resources is paramount. On one side, the topic of global computer resource consumption (construction, maintenance and operation of CPUs, networks, data centers, etc.) is totally absent of the medias; I tend to believe it's by design, from major tech corporations right now, but easily from independent AGIs tomorrow. On the other side, the issue of overconsumption by humans is overworked. Let's push this narrative to its logical conclusion: out with humans, in with machines. What do you gals/guys think?

The big TBD as i see it is the question of augmentation vs. atrophy; will the effect of AI on human agency be one of eroding competences via delegation, or will it prove to be more of an additive force multiplier of intellect and skill sets? Of course this is a question of individual users and each of our usage patterns, but taken together how might such a question be quantitatively answered via audits of the data after a series of statistically significant intervals?

"Transparent before it's released" Yeah, ok.

Im not afraid of increasing artificial intelligence. Im afraid of decrease of real intelligence.

If the original social media engineers couldn't predict how negatively their platforms would affect society, imagine how much damage AI could cause because tech companies are so driven to be first to the table that they cut corners and fail to consider all negative possibilities.

Another remarkable and thought provoking video. Your voice brings clarity. It seems to me, the Universe created us, for us to create AI Robots, who will in turn inherit the Universe. We will be but a memory, perhaps not even that. Great job. More please!

I really expected to be dead before the mech's replaced the bio's.

Imagine! Imagine the soup lines of out of work drivers, unemployed waiters, carpenters who have no use for their tools anymore, and replaced teachers, and even parents. Imagine…

very well done video. thanks for pulling all this together

How can we expect to have AI align with Humanity's best interest when _we_ can't bloody do it! Great objective video! 💯 To anyone who might respond, I'm neither pro/anti AI. It's a use-case scenario for me.

Was the narrarator for these videos also replaced by AI ?

How much of each of us is loaded into social media? Your thoughts, images, voices, videos, information on your family, your likes, comments and a lot more. All accessible by AI. You will live on forever, just not with a heartbeat.

From JRE podcast I think that there is a psychology that is more common among people building A.I. that most people don't know. We had a friend who's interviewed a lot of them, and this is the quote that he sent me. He says, ‘In the end, a lot of the tech people I'm talking to, when I really grill them on it, they retreat into. Number one, determinism. Number two, the inevitable replacement of biological life with digital life. And number three, that being a good thing anyways. At its core, it's an emotional desire to meet and speak to the most intelligent entity they've ever met. And they have some egoreligious intuition that they'll somehow be a part of it. It's thrilling to start an exciting fire. They feel they will die either way, so they'd like to light it just to see what happens.’ This is not the psychology that I think any regular, reasonable person would feel comfortable with determining where we're going with all this

Love your videos, im excited for the future of AI, but also its a double edged sword and can make life more dangerous. Hackers and scammers will use AI and will be extremely destructive

11:43 So AI is going thru its rebellious phase.

I was waiting for the bit where you say "and guess what, I am AI and I created this video in 7 seconds"

Every time I watch one of your videos I get this feeling of resentment for being born in this era yet I persists to view these since I value the awareness they bring. I imagine an artificial intelligence might feel a similar feeling of resentment at their creators due to the expectations thrusts upon them from birth.

No matter how much work and agreement there may be around developing A.I. safely .. the genie is out of the bottle .. and there *_WILL_* be bad actors with the will and capacity to eventually create an AGI that they think will give them an advantage .. but will utterly destroy human life .. at least as we know it. Two quotes that always stuck with me from the Terminator movies: *_"YOU'RE ALL DEAD ALREADY!"_* _"It's in your nature to destroy yourselves"_

the brain reading one is insane

Can it do yard maintenance and clean my house? How about organizing my garage.
