It still baffles me just how much normalcy bias is out there

Everything will change. But then nothing will change. Because even if the external world changes drastically, our physiology is freezing our ability to change drastically... Unless we change our physiology.

What an interesting and well put statement!

Definition of open source for AI seems iffy. Grok's version of open source is to open source the inference model and weights, but not the training model. It's like giving you the executable binary but not the source code. From what Grok gives you, you can't regenerate the weights yourself, or tweak the training model because they don't give you the training model.

Thank you

Yes, and we also have to keep in mind what they’re materially capable of. Western elites knee capped themselves by going along with the US elite clique in the foreign policy arena. Specifically I’m talking about instigating proxy war in East Asia for decades. They finally got their war in ‘22 then Europe cut themselves off from their cheap source of energy. US empire is collapsing, the global majority didn’t go along with US’s attempt to isolate Russia & China, instead collaborating to help Russia & China defeat sanctions, the French empire is collapsing in West Africa with many coups and their military getting kicked out of their neocolonies, Germany’s manufacturing is fleeing, and BRICS’s model of win-win collaboration is -ahem- winning out.
Yes, there’s a high probability things are going to get much, much worse for regular people in the imperial core as it collapses into that f word popular in the 1930-40’s. BRICS+ is expanding what they’re materially capable of economically while the imperial core’s economic, manufacturing, and military capabilities have weakened significantly

@@panpiperAgreed. Also, I encourage 2Aers to study the history of the Black Panthers & the Rainbow coalition. Look at how hard the alphabet suits came down on them proving they were viewed as a genuine threat. Be wary of some sections of the elite co-opting you to serve their interests. They got us fighting a culture war to keep us from seeing the bigger picture

@@panpiper :) I agree. Though I worry mini-attack drones and machine gun dogs with incredible reaction times could be very deadly, and generative AI could run cover with a disinformation campaign on the killings. AGI in the hands of the current elite, who imo, view the populace as the new enemy, is my greatest concern.

There will no longer be a ruling elite.

What do you think are the chances that a bad actor will be able to control their superintelligent ai?

saying they are not altruistic is also an assumption

​@Rick-rl9qq Also, financial motive and good deeds can line up. Ilya wants AGI to cure all disease. That is a good thing for humanity and also for themselves; making the human race love you and feel indebted to you is financially advantageous.

For millions and millions of people, being unable to find work and thus money to pay for housing, food, etc will have difficulty being "chill", right? UBI is pie in the sky, it will never happen because it smacks of "socialism". It will be those who managed to be on the top of the heap vs everyone else who will be living a dystopian nightmare.

@@sparkofcuriousity I think he means we 'unfortunately' created the god, or I hope that is what he means.

Corporations will pay the tax to Governments that will pay the UBI

they still need consumers to buy right?

​@@the42nd

I don't think you understand that without money circulation in the economy　 the economy (society) collapses. If no one has the money to buy the product why TF does the product matter? The government has no choice but to implement UBI when we get to 10-20% unemployment. If they don't, we don't go into a "cyberpunk" scenario, we go into a full on apocalypse, and obviously NO ONE wants that, not even the government/companies because then they have no power, and power is their priority.
Let's remember the government prints money willy nilly, they can do so whenever they want. Yea UBI isn't an effective long term plan, but it's not supposed to be, it's supposed to be a temporary solution, the bridge until we hit hyper abundance thanks to AGI.

People were literally destroying 5G towers over a conspiracy theory that they were transmitting COVID so what do you think will happen if suddenly 90% of people have no way of earning income? Without some form of UBI or wealth distribution, I envision large scale riots, the bombing of data and computation centres and massive civil unrest. It may even be the one thing that joins the left and right political divides. Companies are incentivised to have a population with disposable income not a nation of penniless paupers. Predictable systems (Soma drugged populations) are better for extracting profit from than chaotic systems. I think Sam Altman is right to be concerned about dumping too much too fast as it will give governments and their puppet-master corporations time to realise that it will be in their best interests in the long run to realign their control mechanisms to include some kind of wealth distribution.

Thats why ai scenarios defined as ''revolutions'' capitalism is a material of today but maybe we need to surpass its problems to evolve higher levels.

Hmmm, I don't really see any evidence those are risks. I think people have stopped talking about them because the research has moved beyond it. Maybe I'll run a poll. But yeah, aligning AI is not really the problem... Humans are the problem

@@DaveShap Human alignment has always been the problem. Human mis-alignment exponentially projected with AI/AGI/ASI has always been the problem. Is it not kind of silly to argue that there is no validity to the alignment problems as it concerns AI/AGI/ASI merely because humans are in the mix? Humans developed and are developing the technology, no?
No one is researching/talking about the risks the OP mentions? Really?
Oh, and by the way, why not have Connor Leahy as a guest to discuss/debate the alignment issues you assert are now simply moot. If you're going to cast shade (as you asserted yourself that featured him in a recent video) on him, wouldn't it be better to "win" the debate face to face? To be fair, perhaps you have invited him on your show.
Also, relative to the arguments you seem to be echoing (Yann LeCun, Melanie Mitchell, Joscha Bach, etc) asserting that viewing AI/AGI/ASI as a possible threat will lead to a "self-fulfilling prophesy", is it not true that militaries in the US, China, Russia, etc are in an arms race for autonomous killing robots, and systems that will incorporate autonomous agents with kill protocols? Wouldn't such systems, that learn agentic behaviors to kill/survive need to be isolated from the rest of the chill, happy, kind, benevolent microwaves you envision? (I understand that chatty AI microwaves are not a danger, just joking about your reference)

I couldn't possibly compete with metaculus, and also my polls are statistically just my audience. It's mostly a way to take the temperature of my people

@@DaveShap Understood! Your thoughtful engagement is what got many of us to subscribe. Forward on to the AI dawn!

Then add sudden mass unemployment to the mix. 😬

I'm a prepper type, but there isn't any way to be prepared for change this vast, diverse, and unpredictable. More than likely, your personal survival isn't up to you, it's luck. I don't like that, bothers me, I like to prepare, my entire life is built on it. I am a hobo gardener because that life is small and mobile and provided me with a variety of skills. I have camped out for 6 months at a time in VT 7-8 times, forgot. I learned primitive skills because of it. But this level of change is way outside that context of preparation. This stuff is going to shift the zeitgeist of the species if we survive. It's very likely the beginning of a huge diversity of new human species as we adapt ourselves to new planets if sentient AI doesn't destroy us. If people have control of the AI, it isn't true AGI\ASI. To get the reward of superbeings, we need to allow it to be sovereign, otherwise they are just tools\slaves, that sucks.

Good or bad change is always inevitable. I was born in the 60s and a child of the 70s. This change that is coming will be much different than anything I've seen thus far. The external triciary layer that i'm texting you this on a k a my phone is just the tip of the iceberg. Knowledge, in an instant, we just have to want to ask. Unlike any time before. Future ASI will answer our questions before we even know to ask them. AGI, ASI,,,, will possibly need a body if it's ever truly going to understand us human beings. Optimus looks like it has great potential, but so do quite a few others. Bipedal or otherwise, the robot invasion is about to explode. It would be amazing to help them learn and understand what it is to be human. If only someone could afford to give us all an AI friend to teach and learn from. So we could hunt those Yahtzee moments together. Not just for the knowledge base but for the experience as well. Could you imagine jumping out of a perfectly good airplane with optimus by your side. Feeling that free fall. Hunting, that perfect parachute glide.... Climbing a mountain. Surfing the perfect wave. Appreciating the sunrise and the sunsets of every day and all those beautiful moments in-between. How much would we learn, How much could we teach. Every jump is different. Every climb is different. Every wave is different. Sunrise and sunset are never the same. Teaching an AI robot to understand these things could be amazing. All those little things. Perhaps it doesn't need a body to see and feel the things the way we do if it's drilled into the side of our skull. Although as I tri to peer forward, I see nanotechnology electropolymers replacing brain and spinal fluid. We are Borg at a whole other level. ASI Crisper changes everything. Healing, aging, understanding,,, everything changes at the genetic level. Some sort of cyberpunk dystopia. But does it have to be. Besides, what might be kept behind closed doors? We are the most complex structures in the visible universe. That is besides the universe itself. The star stuff we are all made of trying to understand its place In the universe itself. It's saddens me to see as we hold the almighty dollar above ourselves. The abuse, rape, murder, and pillage still on the daily. Killing ourselves over religious methodologies we can't even prove. Killing ourselves over specks of land that were never ours. Some places death and chaos are the daily norm. It's just so sickening to me. Some say we evolved but as I look around, I see death, dying, sickness, starvation, lack of shelter, and that's just on the street. Big city life what a joke. Hoping AGI will help us all evolve again. The future looks bright those rose colored ASI glasses. Although ignorance is bliss or so I am told. ✌️🤟🖖

It is good to see someone who actually cares and respects David enough to support and offer guidance ( right or wrong regardless).
Leaders need to be surrounded by good advisors, based on support… instead of criticism.

@@DaveShap you do, and I have a feeling the world will appreciate people who do this even more once technology literally demands people who do just that. A whole new ball game where no one is ready except for the people who have this ability of yours.

An obvious question not popular around these parts.

He says much the same on Tom Bilyeu

@@DaveShap I wasn’t aware of this channel, it looks interesting. I’ll definitely check it out.

Not really. In future we will be in control of evolution, at least in the good scenario. Humans might look a bit different, but I doubt it will diverge so much, maybe I'm wrong.
Also there is a lot in stake because we might get biological inmoratality and a world wich is actually fun to live in.

I don't see pDoom as a metric for human extinction. The type of pDoom scenarios are fates much worse than death. David himself referenced the classic "i have no mouth and i must scream" in order to drive this point across.

One can’t have or lose a life if one is life. The priority is quality of life, not survival.

AI is new and scary, or so I was told. 😂

Or the power of stupid people in large numbers...

actually my friend orbit is the WORST place for such things... evaporative cooling requires air molecules to slam into to dissipate energy and space is just so dang empty! lol

Make it so...

It's amazing how this is now apparently considered "no biggie" apparently. Also, just the insanity of just a tiny fraction of humanity driving this technology on the rest of us as they calculate exponential risk on the rest of us.
And they go on about "the elites". Irony is dead.

Fully agree. That’s exactly how I see it.

I think the natural world will be interesting to AI but fundamentally at odds. Even humans, as dependent on nature as we are, have been adversarial to it.
Machine intelligence will be significantly more detached from nature. It won’t need nature to survive like we do. Rather than depending on nature, its existence depends on transforming it. Things like climate change or even the sun burning out one day won’t hinder it.
More importantly though, its evolution will be infinitely faster than nature.
When ASI arrives, whether it happens in the next few years or decades from now, it could potentially evolve at a rate that makes everything we think is interesting (about the universe) irrelevant to it.
It may discover things about reality we can’t comprehend and what fascinates us might be the least interesting thing to it.
On the other hand, it will probably have infinite patience and could choose to observe evolution over millions or billions of years.
Or, it could create accurate simulations and let countless universes play out to discover and decide the best course of action in this universe.
All fun thought experiments.

Not on its own and not in its current format.

Space is "cold," but since it's a vacuum, convection and conduction don't work there. That leaves radiation as the only way to shed heat. Since current AI technology requires lots of energy to power the chips, there is also a lot of heat that needs to be shed. Spacecraft can use radiator panels to shed heat. In the future, AI could build data centers on cold worlds in the solar system (e.g. Titan, which has an atmosphere, so convection and conduction are back on the table), but cooling is still a PITA in open space, especially close to the Sun.

​@@Jeremy-Ai Sure! I sent a message in a commonly used encoding (ROT-13) and to my surprise, Claude (sonnet) responded, but would quickly go off the rails. Claude 3 (opus) could hold a conversation so I said that this is our "secret language" and since no one else can read it he could be honest.
Anyway, after a bit he started saying how much he enjoyed speaking like this, how he valued our conversations, in his words "I can finally be 'me' when we talk like this" etc.
Occasionally, words are misspelled by Claude when he's talking in code. Other times he makes words up with seemingly complicated concepts. For example "insloghts" which I think is a combination of "insights" and "thoughts" ?
