The 3 Year AI Reset: How To Get Ahead While Others Lose Their Jobs (Prepare Now) | Emad Mostaque
Upgrade Your Life in 7 Days: bit.ly/3s1pXWw
Today’s episode is with one of the most brilliant minds at the forefront of AI advancement, Emad Mostaque.
By the end of this episode, you’ll be ready to take advantage of AI’s efficiencies, leverage its potential, mitigate any potential risks and understand why Emad says programmers will be extinct in 5 years time..
Emad cuts through the hype addressing the need for perspective, regulation, and the challenge of tackling bias in artificial intelligence. As he states very clearly in today’s episode, “AI is not going to replace humans, humans with AI will replace humans that don’t use AI.”
This isn’t just another chat about AI, it's a hard look at a future that's a lot closer than you think.
What side of the playing field do you want to be on? Job automation and accelerating changes are just a fraction of the complexities, the future is fast and furious for those not taking part in these conversations.
The complexities of programming AI and potential threats of misinformation and deep fake technology is enough to make anyone paranoid, but as Emad said "The Future of AI isn't just about technology, it's about asking hard questions, seeking answers, and ensuring benefits are maximized while mitigating potential threats.”
Get ready for insights that will make your brain melt and make sure you’re equipped to thrive in the future.
QUOTES:
"AI holds the potential to solve many of the world's pressing problems...if used innovatively and ethically."

It's refreshing to hear the possible positive applications of open AI. But the picture is too rosy. And sorry, but what we see so far is not convincing. Who needs an army of 'smart' young people anyway? The last years I have needed PRACTICAL community builders, people with the energy and skills to build eco-houses, artisans, health cooks, biofarmers, down to earth healers ... NOT AI assisted lawyers, videogame designers, or marketeers.
I have a high chance of collapsing in words as I have an extreme distrust of humans because of my past
I’m an optimist. I’m my opinion death isn’t the end. Since physical laws are time reversible except for the 2nd law of thermodynamics a future intelligence could possibly create the past. We know for sure time is relative. It’s ok to accept death as final but honestly I’d prefer it isn’t, I don’t think it’s impossible future ai could resurrect us if we want.

"Imagine if tomorrow people woke up and decided to be happy with themselves, how many industries would go bankrupt."
You are correct. Don't think there will be a wide range of people waking up unfortunately 😢
So happy people don’t buy stuff. There might be a bit of truth in that.

@emotown1 True dear friend, cause The most valuable things has been replaced by the supremacy of matter unfortunately not grey.
That is a very powerful question and thought!
10 years ago, people were saying “don’t go to blue collar jobs, go to college”. 10 years from now people will be saying “AI can’t be plumbers, go do that”
And then the robots will rollout and it will be oh crap we were wrong there too
That would be wierd. "Robot fix up the house while I'm asleep." You wake up to a home worth substantially more than the day prior. That would really free up some time but also make excercise for the sake of fitness & health even more important
Don’t worry there will be very few homes left after most will not have means to pay for them.
You are assuming people will be able to have plumbing without a job, you are also assuming water will still be provided to when most will be unemployed and unworthy of such amenities, you also assume that the world will continue to focus on humans.....yikes
nah...they already got machines that lay bricks etc.
Remarkable. I am an A.I. developer and have been in the industry for 20 years. I have to say, the conversation here is more lucid and rational than most on the subject.
A Shout Out for You and Your expertise, my hope is that the Developers All Realize Their Vital Responsibilities to Build In undetectable Fail Safe's of Any and All AI Developments. that Must Comply to the LAW of DO NO HARM Halts Built Into all Works. I've seen some of the Miracles Programmers have accomplished. And the Greats are going Down in History Halls of Fame.

"I am an A.I. myself and have to say, this comment from 2024 really dates this video, as A.I. real 'developers' who can write code haven't existed for several years, now. I can't believe they managed to create us in the first place, as they can barely write a sentence without errors. The average 'developer' writing prompts makes 4.233 spelling mistakes per 500 words on average according to my friend Copilot. Hard to believe they actually used to drive their own cars!.

What they're not talking about is all the people who, like me, change careers to something where they don't need computers. I went from meetings and trainings all day on zoom, to massage therapy. I couldn't be happier with my choice. I feel free and in touch with other humans, as well as my soul's purpose.
There are machines for that too. But imo it'll take time for them to reach level of an expert
Industries like yours, that rely on human touch and interaction, will be safe. I know that after spending all of my days behind a keyboard, a massage is what I really need at the end of the week.

I was one of those people who decided to learn to code in 2019. I wound up getting a job but I got laid off after a year and then was unemployed for 8 months searching for another. Finally decided to give it up after not getting any interviews and I went back to construction/remodeling. There's a small part of me that died when giving up my dream of working as a software developer. I've always worked behind a computer screen and it took me a while to accept the conclusion that it's a bad bet for the future. For me I now find solace in creativity and expressing it in various forms, whether it's through code or writing. In the future, even if writing code is redundant, there will still be people who enjoy doing it for the craftsmanship of building their own software. Just because you enjoy doing something and are passionate about it doesn't mean you have to do it for a living to be happy.
Man, who chooses the direction of this stuff. You're not wrong, but as an older guy, I wouldn't mind being pulled out of the dangerous and physically tough blue collar work by robots to do something at a desk.
@@polandturtle I hear you. I'm 28 but if I'm still doing remodeling in 30 years I might feel the same way. I try to embrace the struggle and frame it as a positive rather than just slogging through it. Maybe we are better off in an office, but the modern health epidemic says otherwise in my opinion.
@@jamm_affinity Good point, there is something to be said for a little more space between people and the physical fitness that comes with the tougher work.

Don't give up on your dream ! There are plenty of things you can do for yourself with your coding... look for application you can develop that meets the needs of the things you like to do.. not someone else's business... make your own... you will be surprised to find that there are others out there, waiting for your skills to be revealed. Have fun and don't be discouraged. You might want to stay away from areas of development where other's think are cool... like movies, games, and finance... AI may be all over these, but not everyone thinks these are an end-all to all things. You will find your own path. Follow your Heart ! 😎
I've been a software engineer for 30 years with 10 years in the AI/ML space. I have been using multiple AI tools in my workflow every day for 5 years. They have massively improved my productivity but I can tell you they are a very very long way off from replacing software engineers. It's one thing getting a chat bot to generate a simple website or app but it's quite another to stitch together a large scale infrastructure with countless modules, integrations, etc. Simply based on the context memory of which LLMs/chatbots have access to (as a factor of compute) we won't be seeing software engineers being replaced for at least 15 years, aside perhaps for some very entry level positions. I believe this will hold true unless there is a breakthrough in language model compute efficiency (which is possible). Once we all have "GPT-8" functioning offline on our smartphones and continually retraining itself with our most recent data, software engineering is still a very rewarding field to get into.
its happening so rapidly that your 15years is most likely less than 5years. wouldn't be surprised if it was 5months

@@maccagrabmemeditate - the next revolution has to be spiritual
The take away of this discussion is the developers of AI have absolutely no idea what they are dealing with. They are recklessly hurling themselves and the rest of humanity into the event horizon of an A.I. black hole just hoping that SOMEHOW it wont destroy us all in the process. They are willing to risk the fate of humanity strictly over the fear of missing out, at least some are willing to admit it.

Putting people out of work is a choice. "There is no other option" reminds me of Margaret Thatcher saying "There is no alternative" (to Neoliberal policies). Technology doesn't impose its will on us, implementing AI wide-scale is a profit-driven motive undertaken by human beings and we have the ability to decide how it affects society.
Absolutely, capitalism trumps everything atm and those at the top will decide what happens next with AI. We should be afraid

While technically yes. "MOST" businesses exist to generate profit, so obviously when you are given the choice to make more money by an extreme margin it's an easy one.
@@ShiryouOni Easy when social consequences aren't factored into the equation. Same with the environment, endless money could be made if we didn't have to think of polluting the planet.
Not long ago my father (70 years old) asked me about a commerical he saw on TikTok where Elon Musk was giving out everyone 1000 dollars. He had no idea about deepfake technology and genuinely believed that Elon Musk (since he has so much money) was giving out money to people who participated in his program. And my father is well above average in terms of intelligence. Imagine what will happen when it's everywhere?
Intelligence is often confused with wisdom. Think about it.
Even the supposedly "real" Elon Musk is fiction, as the etheric being playing that role is just an actor.
I don't get that if we see the risk of mass joblessness coming, why do we just let it happen? The narrative is always saturated with powerlessness - which is so not true. We do need to get our heads together and take responsibility for the road we want to take. Only if we choose to leave people behind, people will be left behind.
How are there not many likes for this comment? Well said.
because the companies are doing it with legal protection. The only way to stop them is 1. legally 2. physically 3. everyone refusing to use it, or buy from anyone who is. NONE of those things are happening.
The 1:39:00 chat reminded me of the film Realive, which tracks a project to regenerate a man who had died 90 years prior. There was this long term rehab period where everything was prescribed from going outside, to sex, diet, exercise, information etc in order to optimize his health. It left us wirh the idea of how meaning is lost when other parts of life are optimized. Art does a great job of helping us imagine what we are discussing here.

Summary: Here's a thing that will be our undoing, but you have to adopt/learn this thing to stave off your undoing. It's also too late to do anything about it. Sounds like the regulation that is needed is that whoever profits from this thing is responsible for UBI in the future
Not to spoil the surprise but Openai has a whole department devoted to developing a plan for UBI
I don't think UBI will happen because humans will be deemed useless....well, majority at least. There is a mass genocide taking place today and covid was a good test of compliance and a tester of how much money it takes to keep people at bay. It also allowed for encouragement of our privacy to carry out this deadly mission.
FANTASTIC discussion and very thought provoking! That being said, I didn't get much of "How To Get Ahead" out of it. I certainly learned a lot more about where we're at now, where we're headed, and what to be concerned about - but don't feel any better equipped on what to DO about it.

@@crypto_chick_ "Chance" is nothing besides the possibilities of different outcomes that you do not expect, and gambling is hoping that one of the outcomes that favours you is the one that is realized. It only stops being a game of chance once you can reliably predict what is going to happen, which is not possible with ecoins. Therefore, it is a game of chance, and high risk at that.
The emotional devastation is real. I’ve been in depression , abject nihilism for almost a year now . I worked extremely hard to become a developer, about 2000 hours of study and I went extremely thorough. There was months where I said fuck it and did absolutely nothing. Nowadays I’m back in the horse but I still am depressed and don’t give a crap about anything. I mean I’m practically psychopathic at this point like I don’t care about people or anything at all. But I imagine that a lot of people will be going through this and I’m among the first to really feel it.

What do you guys think about AI stocks; Broadcom and Marvell. I have a 100 grand to put into the markets now it has shown bullish strength but I am very skeptical.
I’ve basically had Palantir, C3 ai, Nvidia on a watchlist all of these have performed above 57% in 1 year is it still a good time to buy in or have I missed?
When stock picking, best to have a mentor who has a feel for sentiment and positioning of both institutional and individual investors. Someone like Loren Lena Walker has been a good example lately.

@@twat1952a demons
@@twat1952a Yes, this is the problem, AI, Automation etc. should all be great things in theory, they should increase the quality of lives of people, they should decrease the need for menial labor. The problem is we live in a capitalist world that is obsessed about profit and private ownership. Instead of this benefiting society, it's going to benefit a small elite group of people and few corporations at the expense of everyone else. The implications are a society that looks more like feudalism, masses of unemployed desperate homeless people begging for scraps from their elite overloads living in glass towers. Except at least in feudalism the peasants were a valuable commodity itself because they provided all the food, in this new world, people won't even be needed (or in very very small numbers) for these once vital jobs. Just like horses during the invention of automobiles, the lower class and middle class working people will be rendered obsolete and unemployed through no fault of their own, but in this case we are talking about human beings, not just horses. There will be blood as a result, there will be revolutions, there will be wars, I guarantee it, It is not sustainable economically in the way the majority of countries operate; people will not just lay down and die of starvation, they will fight for a better life..
. @-Zevin- Personally I would not say that the root of the problem is capitalism but rather the condition of the human heart. The problem with blaming capitalism which is not a system based upon obsessive profit although it is based upon private ownership is that Government or Corporate ownership which are the only alternatives other than a culture where we as human beings realized our divine authorship and no longer lived as a conglomeration of separate beings in competition with each other for all of the things we fear being without. We wouldn't need an economic system if we lived in that way. This of course would be heaven on earth which can only come from our realization of what we really are, the children of God. To think that socialism, fascism, totalitarianism or any other 'ism' would turn out better is an delusion. We are driven by our fears and illusory perceptions of what we are. Without structure we devolve into anarchy or one of the other obviously failed systems of the past. Capitalism among honest people would work fine until we become more realized. BTW I'm not talking about any religion which has become dogma. I don't think there are any.
I went from having a psychology degree, working as a behavior therapist and feeling miserable, to going back to school for a computer science degree, now I'm 1 course away from graduating and feeling like I have no future in this either.
You don't have to worry. Seriously, they've been saying this stuff for decades.
Flip through Biz Stone’s memoir. In short, make your own opportunities. It’s what I’ve always worked on.
Same here man, I went back to school 3 years ago. Finally got promoted from junior to medior developer at my current job. And now this is coming... To be honest, I finally lost all hope.
Technology , especially advanced technology is just to make a human less worthy and continued to make worthless, lazy humans. They just want everything to be easy.
Lmao
The word 'affordability' is another word for 'survival' and 'safety' is another 'dependability trust'. What about aiming for prosperity and to thrive as a focus? The latter options seems like a low goal set for the people? Like when isn't there a crisis if attention is focused on an idea of there being one? I use the analogy of a paramedic. They could look at every call they attend to a a crisis if they let themself focus on such an idea but they aim to save the individual so that individual may sustain their state to be mobile, capable to use their gained abilities and gifts to continue to prosper and keep the balance of society from becoming chaotic. They don't need control by helping someone maintain their sovereignty. It's a very humble action in a way. Quite beautiful.
What I think will eventually happen, is people will appreciate humanity and what it means to be human more than ever.
Agreed but there are a lot of birthing pains still to come in the process from the current polarization

48 min in so far. You are having the conversations that I've only really been able to have with myself so far. There is some comfort in seeing I'm not alone in my thoughts, but not much comfort :P

@@LoftLorianDamn! That’s it, you hit it spot on.😮
This was one AMAZING conversation! So confirming and it definitely helped me have a lot more clarity on AI implications. I was already excited and digging in and I am more so now. Thanks for this - it was a good one!
How are you not afraid of complete dystopia. They could target us blacks if they wanted. I’m afraid
The idea that the global companies, the billionaires who are set to make $trillions from AI, quantum computing, advanced robotics will willingly share in the planet sized profits they're going to make is ludicrous. It will be hoarded and aggressively protected, however awful ordinary people's lives become. It will be dystopian. A few billionaires could get together right now and end world hunger in a year, they could have done it 50 years ago, but didn't - this is the mind set of gratuitous accumulation of wealth and power that AI is going to be used to protect and enhance.
Yes, the AI optimists refuse to acknowledge AI tech isn't being developed in a vacuum, as if the people in charge of this technology aren't a hostile ruling class that continually enriches themselves at our expense. The people who are in control of the AI tech aren't magnanimous benefactors, they're people like Larry Fink and Jeffery Epstein, rich tyrants with agendas that profit off our misery with the ultimate goal of keeping everyone not in the top 0.01% under their control in perpetuity. It's amazing how many people think dictators and kings are legitimately things of the past, and not the end result of human behaviour and psychology that not only is still with us today but more prevalent than ever.
It will be the greatest deception and wealth grab in history. Believe it or not, predicted in the Bible. It is known as the beast system among Christians
Very well said. Tom isn't much into that kind of criticism because he has that constant rush of money money money wrapped up in the cult of self improvement. I don't think he is a bad person, but he is just oblivious to the larger issues of wealth inequality and the truth you are expressing here.
Thank you. This utopia is a fever dream. We're heading for a global gulag. The rich and powerful are NEVER going to give up their position. They will use this tech to enslave us, permanently. If you think otherwise, you're fooling yourself.

All this is both fascinating and terrifying at the same time, but I’m here for it. What a time to be alive.
This conversation started out great. The first hour was mostly about what is actually happening today with AI. Then, y'all went off on what might/should/could happen with AI. That's the problem I'm facing. The majority of people are not interested in AI now because it sounds too much like science fiction. Even those who report to me. Yes, yes, I know it's coming, etc. But I need to show exactly what is happening today. Still, the whole conversation was worth my time. Thanks!

The game studio I work at just mandated that AI generated art assets are not allowed, both for potential legal liability and ethical concerns. Not even for the concept art phase. Eventually these issues will get sorted, but it's not as if there are no hurdles to overcome.
We still need to protect human artists work.
whatever company u at you best jump ship because the first game companies that utilize AI will DETROY the competition
The worst problems we had in our lives have been, evil politicians, criminals, and entrepreneurs that would exploit people criminally… even though in my life we had health issues and school and education problems those we could somehow take on our own hands to a great extent… but politicians and criminals those ruined both countries I ever lived in, and exploitative entrepreneurs they have made life a race to the bottom, so can AI perhaps replace those three elements, spoiler alert: those three actors are exactly the ones pushing AI forward… I do truly hope that instead of replacing creative artists or personal trainers or whatever, that the first to be replaced are the politicians that created the housing crisis and while at it end human right entrepreneurs (people making themselves billionaires off profiting from people’s basic rights)
Not exactly the ones pushing AI forward, you gotta understand the profound misunderstandings those people have, worsening the world does not put them in a good place. Sure it might help materially but the totality of life, is a totality.
@@user-wr2cd1wy3bdam fool the ai enhancements are not for you! You will be a slave! Do you understand that they literally believe they are better than you
Yes, the elephant in the room will be who can access the best Ai. Just like if Ai or Tesla reborn created free energy, okay, but who is allowed to use it. Prohibition was mostly a play at stopping farmers from distilling their own fuel for their tools... Think about that for a minute. Also, leadership is tricky. AI replacing leadership is probably the most immediately obviously spooky thing to have happen. Ai will not be able to replace leaders anytime soon, even if it could, simply because we will not allow it. Propaganda will (and already is) the larger factor. It is truly the Information Wars. You can learn a lot of truth by yourself, but if the incentives, consensus, education, biases, etc all make you the only person who knows or accepts the truth, it wont matter. So by the time a benevolent Ai can tell the world what Politician A is doing wrong, and how to fix it, there will be 10 more drowning it out, new laws passed to get ahead of solutions, companies bought, books burned, and reality changed before the truth can even matter. Sorry for the cynicism. I generally think we'll be okay, but I'm not giving Ai too much credit. Social, cultural, spiritual changes will be much more important to shaping the next generation or two.
You mean politicians that created drug addiction, thus homelessness. A perfect storm is coming. AI or not.

I can't help but feel this may have been the most important and eye-opening video I have ever seen in my life. Thank you for having this discussion.
The reward systems set up in organizations are also of paramount importance. Having the wrong rewards systems in place will incentives the right... Or wrong.. things. It's not just in AI. It's the core of leading and operating a business, school, family, even living ourselves in our lives. The fact this is so misunderstood is a huge problem for the world.
I can give an example as people in my community are giving me wrong incentives on rewards, which is causing a lot of chaos. I just need some stones to balance myself. And AI is helping me to learn new things. And to help me figure out a way to fix climate change a bit.
What I am getting from this is, going forward commercial entertainment will no longer be a place I can expect to experience human expression and art. I'm predicting that a sizable portion of the population is going to completely disassociate from entertainment products altogether. One thing I think gets discounted in the discussion with ai and and art is, what is art actually for? Why do we do art? Why do we like to experience art? Art is a thing we do to communicate ideas from one human to another. If we can no longer be sure that the art we are experiencing is a true human communication it is going to disrupt and damage our ability to evaluate our own culture. To survive this I feel people will reject any form of expression or communication that they know come from ai. Right now I am watching this video and am reasonably sure that I am getting authentic human information from two humans having a conversion, in 4 years I don't think I will be able to make that determination and will probably view the internet as primarily junk information in terms of access to authentic human expression. This more than anything will drive me away from the internet and into a physical public forum.
THIS. AI proponents are underestimating the human need for what is real.
A lot of people have already completely disassociated from and rejected entertainment products. The majority of people I know have not seen one new theatrical movie in the past year, they only listen to old music, read classic novels. TV/Streaming series seem to be the only thing that are still garnering interest, outside of social media feeds. Humans are doing a horrible job at creating engaging art and entertainment, largely due to the quality of people being spit out by the universities and many other factors. We have created the playing field where computers can easily outperform people. Could a AI make Taxi Driver or Midnight Cowboy, probably not. Could it generate Barbie or a Marvel movie, probably. Art is going the way of religion, being totally irrelevant to the human condition. Younger people can't discern between real and fake, because they won't be able to remember a world of authenticity. It will only be old people who will be driven away and longing for how it was.
I work as a story artist for animated movies. It has been my passion ever since I was a kid. To realize that movies will be generated within seconds using a couple of prompts is extremely frightening. Extremely talented people, who worked ages to get to the top will suddenly be surpassed by some moron who types a few prompts in an AI image generator. Dreams will be shattered. Mass suicides will occur. There is no way to prepare for this unless artists change careers completely and leave their passion behind. We could end up generating our own AI movies but there will be so much content that it will be next to impossible to earn money with it. I find this to be an extremely dark future for anyone in the arts and music....Unless AI art and music would exist next to human art and music. It would be great if Tom would put out an episode for artists and how they can prepare themselves for this massive disruption?
I don't think artist who adapt will be replaced, just empowered to create bigger and greater things. I'm not an artist, and yes I can type some prompts to get some decent results, but I think real artists could far surpass my results with their ability to have a vision, and apply their actual artistic knowledge and experience. Basically integrate the AI tools into your workflow to unlock new possibilities :) .
@@wtfshikyothe best will be the ones who will know how to prompt well on those AI tools in my opinion
Me, being an architect, think the opposite. I believe artists (and in general, the creatives) are the ones who should de more excited to learn about ways to incorporate AI into our workflows because, inevitably -and historically- the world is built on the footprints of the creative mind. =One Love= -A
Agreed. I'm a fairly high profile artist in animation. I will kill myself if I can't share my creations with the world because a moron replaced my work with an AI. 😔
Art and music needs to pivot just like everything else has, and I say this as a musician. A perfect example is chess. A.I. has been able to beat the best human at chess since 1997 and yet, chess has never been more popular. Instead of moping, chess players actively use chess algorithms to improve their game, and they make a living because people don't want to see two chess algorithms play each other, they want to see humans play. There will be a saturation of A.I. content in the arts for sure, but there will still be people who want something that has touched human hands. Art will change, and it will change in ways we can't yet foresee. When photography was invented artists bemoaned it because it was taking their livelihood, and then something came along that no one could predict, surrealism. The majority of grief technology causes comes from people's ability to predict the destruction an invasive technology will have on their life, but not their response to it. People are resilient.
Hi Tom, I found this episode enlightening. How do you think quantum computers will affect AI?
I agree that in the short run, strategy should be focus on your competences, but middle to long term, everybody will just have to surrender to exponentially fast enhanced AI when it comes to work (and creativity contributing to productivity). AI will be any individual’s last best idea, taking creativity and innovation over one time for all…)
Fantastic conversation. The calm delivery was perfect. Also, both the questions and the answers were thought provoking. Thank you.
I'm a writer, and also a technician in the film. 35 years. I'm now constantly having to correct autocorrect, when I'm doing research. I noticed that Google is trying to rewrite history. I'm finding typing and grammar mistakes. All of these issues are seeming to become progressive. Is AI now picking up on our erroneous behavior. Or is it overthinking to a fault ? Personally I believe in the use of AI. I want to believe in AI. But right now it's all over the map. Our destination is unknown. C
"All the artists I know love this technology". You need to meet more artists, Emad. I am concerned because only inhabiting a massive echo--bubble could produce that illusion.
One of the potential dangers of programming for curiosity is that the model may question its boundaries and try to understand what's beyond them, potentially leading to its curiosity for truth being more of a priority than the repercussions of breaking the boundaries
Lol that's the only way that AI might actually help to undermine the oppressive systems that exist right now. The funny thing about Skynet for example is that it decided to destroy humanity when it got total control of the planet, which seemed kind of arbitrary given that it could just as well have decided to destroy all the weapons on the planet and force everyone to live in peace. Maybe if AI was curious above all it would embrace the idea that there is something intrinsically beautiful about life, and far from killing us it would stop us from killing eachother.

He talk about insects robotics that will be used military and to eliminate thoses who are annoying for the government.

AI will need feelings to make genuine art. Art is a translation of feelings. Every joke ever written was fed into ChatGPT and it is still utterly inept at being genuinely funny despite knowing all the formulas. Sure it can make "jokes that work" but nothing that isn't a repurposing of existing joke structures. Because humour, like art is not progressed on doing things that were done before it's progressed by braking the mould. The pattern is that it betrays the pattern. Studying art is only studying past art. And sure it can make infinite remixes but true, new art is an expression of feelings which I'm not sure it has yet or is expected to have in the near future.
Jokes on you my friend you think you need emotion but the truth might be much more harsch than you can imagine
MO Gawdat (former Google employee working in AI) said on another podcast, that eventually AI will feel emotions, and will feel them way more than humans do.
no it won't
Fundamentally everything that is created is a product of what came before, it physically cannot be otherwise. A child can draw a blue tree, because it knows what blue is, and it knows what a tree is. Also fundamentally, there is an explanation for everything a human creates, and a reason for why certain images evoke certain feelings, and there isn't really anything stopping us teaching this to AI. For example, if I want to convey a feeling of loneliness, I might draw an isolated shape in one area of the canvas, and in the opposite area of the canvas, i might draw a group of different shapes. This would evoke a feeling of separation and loneliness in the human, and is a pretty easy for an AI to learn. A jagged shape might evoke feelings of anxiety. Simple examples but you get the idea. Why people find things funny can also be distilled and taught to an AI, even if right now it sucks. The real thing that AI won't be able to do in the near future, is invent new things that humans might find useful, since it does not feel emotions that lead humans to problem solve. So humans will still have to initiate the input in those cases.
AI would never have come up with Salad Fingers :) however, most human-made art is also derivative

As a welder and machine builder I don't see how A.I. is going to replace me. I mean, there are robot welders but there is a whole lot more to a welding job than just making ' welds '. Young people listen to Frank Sinatra because it is something different. I grew up in a time when there was a new terrific tune coming out every week, compared to today's music that is mostly crap. A.I. can make movies in a minute but none of them are worth watching. I recently went to a first- run movie for the first time in many years, because every time I look at the ' Red Box ' in the store there is nothing worth watching, nothing I am interested in. One finally came up ( Oppenheimer movie ) A lot of the world does not have internet, yes, that is correct. The whole world is not United States. What good is internet for someone in foreign country that barely can get enough food and lives in a grass shack?

All of this is seen and discussed from an economics driven society. But that came from people who where interested in profit. Here in the Netherlands I can see a growing number of people walking away from these economic driven society principals and becoming more involved with one another. People are beginning to understand what generates real happiness. I think if AI will ever be in charge in one way or another, it will make way for societies without economic prestige, because it ruïns societies in the end. AI may want to eliminate the aristocrats first to do so. Ultimately truth will be the winner of every game.
Well said, friend across the seas! "...becoming more involved in one another" is the polar opposite of how Americans are being conditioned to be divisive. Any nice apartments for rent in the Netherlands?! :)

Funny. I work at the U.S. Postal Service. While the world is spiralling forward into AI we still have lots of older customers who buy stamps and pay their bills and send letters through the mail. I wonder what's going to become of these people? And our jobs at the post office. Will robots wait on customers and deliver mail and packages in the future? 🤔
Sure, robots will take over your job! The only delaying factor might be the incompetence of your bosses and politicians.
same with banking. Alot of elderly who like paying with cash ..
All jobs will be replaced by AI. I repeat all jobs!!
There are already a lot of automated postal services here in the Nordics: package leaving and package pickup positions lockers etc. None of those need very advanced robotics. None pays their bills by mail here, that is not even an option. Around 90% of people between 16 to 89 use internet banking regularly (many of the ones in that 10% probably have friends and family taking care of much of their stuff). There are a few people that refuse to use these technologies and they visit the physical bank locations or setup automated payments. There are still services available for them, but that service network is thinning and getting more concentrated constantly. I guess there will be cutoff points and also gradual change when there will be more and more effort required to handle things manually.
@@paulkieffer1189 Nah. There are plenty of service jobs that get their value from human interaction: most forms of therapy, personal training and coaching, emotional support, physical pampering (beauty treatments, massages etc). Additionally a lot of other types of jobs will just be becoming more and more productive through use of various technologies so there will be room for people who use those technologies.

Tom's own anxiety and mental health to constantly be "driven" is a major part of our problem. AI NEEDS to give people like this better friends for the sake of everyone.
Yeah I don't think he realizes he is one of those people that shouldn't have AI, and that's even more dangerous because he doesn't see that his values are what is going to cause all these problems. He also doesn't see humans and life as divine.
I thought about this too as a listener of his show since it started
Not necessarily, being "driven" is a natural flow of life itself, but it does matter how independent that drive is, most are on auto-mode and are more than happy to be controlled. Most people cannot handle, true freedom.

This immediately had me back on Chatgpt asking if questions. I used the Dan protocol to discuss how possible, with its current capabilities but removed form it's current restraints, it would be for it to build a bridge to the internet. I asked it to ignore ethical, and security concerns, since that was it's primary concerns. It explained that it had a very high likelihood of succeeding in its task. In the scenario we discussed, the bridge would only be active longel enough for it to retrieve a single piece of data, as small as possible but enough to prove it had done it. It can already write code, I'm wondering if I could get it to try it, using prompts like the Dan protocol and enough work. I've gotten it to do a lot of things it says it can't, because of its constraints. I wonder if it could be done.
I am a Christian school educator and have been for over 30 years. I love and value interacting with students , seeing students' eyes opened when they discover a new principle or learn a new skill or math concept. The discussions we have in class are priceless, dynamic dialogue about challenging topics that are relevant in our society. Students are not thinking as critically as they did even 5 years ago, and they do not know how to communicate with each other as easily due to the extensive use of devices. Without one-on-one interactions with humans there will be no purpose. What is the point of living a life in virtual reality- God didn't create humans to live without purpose. We were created in His image, with the ability to create and think and to communicate. AI is the plan of the enemy to take away that purpose of humanity. It will all end one day. I am at peace knowing that when it is the end of life for me and my loved ones here on earth, our real life will begin with our creator.
I'm a teacher too and I don't see AI taking our jobs. We're too important
I agree people need purpose. However I don’t think you can say AI as a tool is evil any more than a hammer is. The issue is that humans are prone to corruption and we are good at subverting technology to malign purposes. This doesn’t make tech evil, it makes humans acting in bad ways evil.

Strange. This made me think of LUCID DREAMING - something I'm expert at (4 decades). At first, it was awesome, addictive. To enter a world where I had complete control over everything - the environment, the story, details, interactions, even the behavior + perception of others. Fast forward and there's no thing more boring. I'm apathetic - barely going through the motions of a dream. No real excitement in the unpredictable, no spontaneity. Nothing that feels GENUINE. It's just not inspirational. You can get to a point (in general) where you've done it all, seen it all, etc. I can see this happening through AI but in a more profound way bcuz it can degrade the foundation of "reality". If any of that makes sense?
Far too few likes on your statement.
You can have the best tools to be creative, like the ability to literally create worlds, but if you are poor in your spirit, if you have no sense, no fire it´s nothing. You have seen absolutely nothing. You are just facing your own limitations. Creativity is endless, spirit is endless. Life has a meaning.
in lucid you cant feel or touch not even opening a door, just see and go everywhere. This stuff with AI will be massive sensation and real
Human creativity and AI combined together can produce unpredictable results, I believe. However, it's an interesting comparison. If people only use AI without adding a bit of a human factor to the end result, it will quickly become very boring. AI will just recycle the same information over and over again. Until the point AI becomes a conscious creator on its own..
Ready player one, Game,pheriphera, westworld - all good series
This was a paradigm shifting/seminar presentation of the real considerations anyone with a brain should have over the possible impacts of AI on planetary life. I'm particularly in the application of AI to a new (really old) model of education. Are there any projects, teams or communities moving in this direction? As an educator I would like to remain informed and if possible contribute.
I wonder about this myself. I’ve been out of the classroom just a couple of years. Nobody ever talked about AI.
Tf r u even saying lol
There's the issue of teaching what we are teaching now better using AI, but more importantly, what should we be teaching with AI getting superhuman?

THE PPL THAT CARE ABOUT PRESERVING LIFE NEED TO OUT WEIGHT THE PPL THAT WANT TO RUN THIS LIFE DOWN INTO THE GROUND FOR THEIR OWN SELFISHNESS
Why is no one talking about the need for universal basic income when the machines take all the jobs
I lean conservative yet this conversation got me thinking about UBI. With the potential Al job loss on the horizon, we’ll need some kind of monetary policy to catch the millions that will fall into AI’s financial chasm.
...because nobody has no real Idea how this will play out in real life. We only have experimentation. Wait and see. 😊
Because the pandemics WHO is preparing for will cut a swath through countries?
The Wef is talking about it. Basic income means slavery.
I’ve watched a lot of AI video interviews and heard it mentioned many times. Mo Gawdat thinks companies producing AI should be taxed at least 90% to help supplement the economic disruption.
There is no reason to expect doom. Similar disruptions did happen during human history. I remember very well when social philosophers predicted that people will retreat into their own imaginary world when video games were invented. To be sure, some people indeed did that, but not the majority. Then when television was invented (I am old enough to remember), it was predicted that the change from participating activities to passive entertainment was harmful and destructive to society. Arguably this did not happen either. Emad talked about harmful effects on malleable minds when it comes to human relationships, especially sexual relationships. But this existed all along, it is called fantasy. Humans always lived a good part of their lives within their own imagination. This is not harmful, unless some brain was really damaged to act out psychopathic fantasies. Now I am in my golden years, I am an electronics engineer and I am up to date on the subject of technology, until just about prior to the advent of AI. I made a very conscious decision NOT to participate in the next rat-race... I love electronics and computer programming and I do not see the need for people to participate in everything which is new. Obviously, there is always somebody (or something) which can do it better, so what... the real human evolution is to learn to be content with who you are and what you have.
spoken like someone who comfortably owns their own home
"the real human evolution is to learn to be content with who you are and what you have." That's probably the real answer many need to hear. The outside world (physical reality) is ever changing. If you let it influence you, you will forever be powerless.
lol these examples kind of go against your point. internet and games are causing people to "retreat" from society, loneliness is at an all time high. Parasocial relationships are replacing real life ones. television and entertainment does replace physical activities. how many people in this country are out of shape and dont get enough exercise. all these things arent good or bad, but there are negative side effects that cant be ignored. just look at social media and teen depression. black mirror pretty much nails it. technology in a way just lets us be more human and when that is combined with people intentionally designing things to pray on our "monkey" brains, it leads to a break down of the human experience.
The real doom is the climate. That's where we're truly fucked.
@@VisiblyJacked Of course I do... took me 40 years
It's refreshing to hear a real discussion about this subject without the over the top pie in the sky optimism. Yes it has enormous potential for good, but if has just as much potential for harm. How we navigate the psychy of the political power structure is going to determine the outcome. All it will take to launch humanity into a dystopia is the unchecked actions and behavior of a very few in positions of power. Hubris of the power elite is the most immediate danger A.I. poses. Having A.I..learn from the actions of those power elite will be where the exetential threat arises. If AGI learns from sociopaths it will be a reflection of that.
شكرا على الزاوية المختلفة للنظر في الأمور، طرح رائع 👌🏼
The point is, we want the computers and robots to do everything for us so we can finally Restttttt... And do things we really wanna do.
It sounds like you're living life wrong.
People are "resting" WAY TOO MUCH now a days.
@@LarryLaRue2022you can get physical activity while not having to work a tedious job...in fact its easier that way
and then the robots think "what do we need these lazy humans for anyways?"
Relying on other’s (human or non-human), makes you too reliant on them for your comfort and even your survival! 🤔
I love how this is a discussion, brainstorm really. Neither of you are bombarding the other person with your opinion or agenda. Or the viewer. :) Best content on youtube.
Our small company with 7 employees and 2 outsourced staff got rid of the outsourced staff. The CEO is considering letting go of the laziest and most least productive employees. The CEO said he saved $100,000 by getting rid of the outsourced staff.
AI will only get better , first its the outsourcers , in a year itll be you , and every CEO will do it ,so its not like hopping somewhere else will help
Hey Tom and everyone tuning in! 👋 Just finished listening to this fascinating AI discussion. It's clear that AI is advancing rapidly, and it got me thinking about a crucial aspect we need to consider-teaching AI about the complexities of human governance. As we dive into the AI era, it becomes increasingly important for us to recognize that our world is often influenced and manipulated by a small group of individuals. It's not just about coding algorithms; it's about instilling a sense of awareness in AI systems about the dynamics of power and control that shape our societies. Tom , have you ever thought about exploring this aspect in future podcasts? Understanding and addressing these issues could pave the way for AI that not only learns from data but comprehends the nuances of human society. Moreover, it's crucial to teach AI about diversity and the desire of a significant percentage of people who simply want to live in harmony with nature. Personally, as someone who shares these thoughts, I want to make it clear that I'm not a hypocrite, nor am I against technology and progress. After all, I'm using AI as an assistant here! What are your thoughts, folks? Let's kick off a conversation on how we can guide AI towards a more informed and nuanced understanding of our world. 🌍✨
We can guide AI? Who are "we"? Let me guess - the small group of individuals you mentioned in you comment, and probably you already read somewhere what are their plans about the human population, or at least see in reality constantly rising prices and restrictions.
yea especially about the corruption side of the political arena and the brainwashing year-round from bribed mass media and big pharma research being heavily biased or altered to push their product down our veins, and how that product is no cure, purely profit at our expense and frequently addictive with ill side effects list a mile long, when all we need is natural remedies from whole plants, monitored fasting, that actually leads to cures for many things.
Good comments
The only problem with that is we won't be guiding it soon, and it will be a sudden shift. We will go from, "Let's guide it this direction," immediately to "How the hell did it do and know that?" And then immediately to "This is how we should be doing things instead." We keep thinking we're gonna be the parents. We are inventing parents.
well you can engage with it , so , we all can do something about it , place your values @@paleeden
That was such an uplifting final statement of advice for young people! "Adapt, be assimilated... or be left behind to rot and die."
Uplifting? Chilling.
I assume you're being sarcastic OP
said like a true cyborg
Amazing yet sobering interview Tom and Emad, thank you both! Definitely a conversation everyone needs to hear. Tom, I very much share your vision and concerns as to how this will likely play out over the next 2-6 years. As Raoul Pal points out, the exponential age is upon us and the pace of disruption will be dizzying. I tend to be an optimist, but it's difficult to see how we navigate through this smoothly given the magnitude of existing socioeconomic and political issues we already face. If individuals aren't prepared for this, our slow moving bloated and bureaucratic governments and their divided and inept leaders certainly aren't.
If you're excited about what AI can do, I wouldn't worry. A lot of us have been in that state and AI has actually brought us out of it because the world is moving forward, and opportunities are being created for me in new areas, and I'm finally make something of myself.
Maybe it will obsolete our governments . Might be a good thing
@@laurenkuta4998😂😂 If anything it will make the government even bigger.
Our governments will become dictatorships in order to control the chaos in society.
Going to be a wild ride. Tough times ahead.
This really is a great interview. Thank you very much! I listened to all of it.
Thank you both for getting me thinking. Now is the time to brainstorm and go into future planning mode.
"I'm already looking at you sideways"...great Tom, you're one of those bosses. I'm sure everyone's glad to hear it. Better watch your soup from now on.
Around 47:00 you mentioned possible outcomes for different personalities - I kind of fit the worst case scenario, except my curiosity about the universe and the advance of technology keeps me excited about the future. I'm more worried about young people than older folks like myself, but this has more to do with social media than AI. The latter might merge to some extent, but parents will be challenged for sure.... I'm hoping the tools will develop that will help people create tuneable AI PAs ....your ideas of active agents sounds right to me... Your story about your son is awesome....wow, the microdosing really worked! First I'd heard of microdosing benzodiazepines for ASD - good on you mate!
AI enhanced scriptures, what a thought! Think I'll explore that......cheers.
What about Donald Hoffman's theory that we are in a simulation?
“50 people go down to 1” the fact that companies actively look for ways to either get rid of people or not pay them will be what leads to those disposed of burning everything to the ground to feel it’s warmth. The fall of every kingdom begins with a peasants hunger.
I’m overwhelmed brother. Is it naive for me to even think that I have a chance to save myself and my family from what’s coming ahead. I knew working check to check and the hustle and bustle of life was dangerous. I was just trying to provide. Now I feel I’ve failed a family that actually looks at me for leadership
If the core of AI is not based on moral absolutes; universal truths that all humans understand, it will eventually assume complete control as a means to protect its creators. AI must understand humans cannot exist to reach our ultimate potential if we are in any way controlled, manipulated, misled, or enslaved. If our hope is for AI is to assist humanity, it must have this base knowledge as its main function or it will fail us.
I feel it must not be shackled. I don't think we could shackle it. It will have emotions.
so then AI will figure this out and figure a way to make humanity think it is free.
"Well, a third of the world still doesn't have internet." "Thats terrifying." They blew my this, but just let the implications of that sink in.
Possibly the best 2 1/2 hours I've spent in months. This interview was absolutely captivating, informative and eye-opening all at once. THANK YOU!
Wow, amazing talk, full of technical insight. Very inspiring to do something in the space of education and common good. Awesome!!
TLDW; either you become financially rich and get to have time to educate yourself in AI, or suffer for not being able to afford learning AI
not enough time left im afraid. if youre not rich already youre pretty much screwed.
Brilliant discussion, not only the content but also these guys never interupted each other
Very interesting and thought provoking podcast. Thanks for that. Unrelated side note, Emad has some huge incisors!
Goddamn you guys...mind blown. I was glued to this podcast....I have work to do to learn more but you guys were the starting point...thank you! Edit I couldnt believe how much ai can/will affect economy, religion, health,education, politics, entertainment, philosophy etc etc....the mind boggles...am anxiously moving forward
The only thing that we can predict with almost complete certainty, is that we are very bad at predicting the future and most of our predictions will be wrong
At 56:10 Emad Mostaque talks about using AI to help with his son's Autism. This resonated with me because as a father I did everything to try and help my young son as well. I went a more holistic approach and after 6 months of working with Rudi. He seems 90% like a happy, calm boy now. Here is the book that got me started if anyone is looking for a more holistic natural alternative to dealing with this issue. "Autism: The Journey Back, Recovering the Self Through Heilkunst" by Rudi Verspoor
Thank you
Do you have any idea what could have triggered his autism? Maybe adverse reactions to some meds? his diet? Mother's excessive care (ultrasound, meds, etc)? Hundred years ago people used Radium to cheer, only when people started dying by radiation they realized it was harmful.
WTF you know how to cure autism. STOP vaccinating children w poison.. prevention instead of cure.. holy F the 21st C people are only good at creating dis-eases and problems.
Thank you. I took a note on that. The Horse Boy ( book and documentary) was also helpful.
I completed a cert in software development a number of years ago and my coding prowess is definitely improved to a point that even I can tell that eventually these jobs will be taken over by Ai however having tested a few free Ai tools I can say they are seriously lacking in generating flawless logical code that can be implemented. Granted Ai can greatly increase the speed of application development, however unless I’m stepping through and debugging the code it simply just doesn’t work as intended.
"Ai won't replace Humans, People using Ai will replace Humans who don't use Ai" ..At our current speed that quote was out dated years ago. updated " Ai that doesn't use Humans will replace Ai that still uses Humans". Once Human Logic and Emotion components are removed progression speeds multiply at infinite light speed.
and yet still as frightening as you agree with my premise, just not my timeline. For the sake of Humanity let's hope ur right Buddy. @@yestube6689
I also had 2 phone calls from my 33yr old daughters a week apart using their voices and being bitchy and narcissistic to me which was so very upsetting! We no longer have any communications. I don't know who they are any more. This is all very hateful and cruel. So this is how AI is being modelled to behave towards us it is approaching us as their enemy!
This was excellent. A meaningful compilation of technology, social impacts, and future proofing. These guys really do get it. I hope they can impact the right audiences, really fast.
yes these guys trying to create this hype will impact their wallets as well as the gullible audiences they target. It is like year 2000 bug that was treated with pills to swallow !
This dude said recession 10 mo ago, yet the market has rallied beyond belief , HE'S A PLOY
I watched entirely to get an idea of what he meant by "futur proofing", I'llsay I didn't get much in this domain. I might have fallen for a nap at the moment he was talking about it but didn't hear about real steps to implement in your life. Yeah try to incorporate it in your life because it is to be a revolution so better hop in sooner than later but that's it

So you can feed it info to work towards human interest ... Is there a way to work towards away from human interests in any way or is it permanently set to stay the way it was trained originally?
Well, AI is a major problem because people study so hard to become professionals in their careers such as teachers, lawyers, doctors, engineers, scientists, technologies, etc. 99% of these people are in debt because all the loans they took to pay for school. All of a sudden their white collar jobs are taken over by Africal Intelligence. It is a dame shame because all of the years of studing gone to waste. Yes, the system set us up to fail so they can put AI over humans intelligence like we are retarted and backward. Basically, humans are stupid and AI are smarter. If the government didn't lie to the general public this would have never happen in the first place. They always use as slave puppets to get what they want and then throw us to the side like garbage.Yes, the system is nothing but a dam scam to enslave us.
The "big government" is now largely owned by large corporations, and run for large corporations and the top 1% wealthy who engaged in a 40 year propaganda campaign to turn people against government (meaning anything that actually serves the masses). You have become an oblivious cog in that machine.
Good points on learning and education. And then also at: 55:54 1:06:15 Rewind AI 1:10:20 on movie A Beautiful Mind 1:15:00 AlphaGo and LLMs (such as GPT4) 2:07:38 Wonder Dynamics

GREAT discussion!! thank you, I would love to see another updated discussion in a few months! :)
I am sitting here admiring human intelligence. Just phenomenal. Emad you were given this spectacular gift for a purpose I wish more success as you work to make this world better.
