Jesus is coming soon to Rapture His Church. Repent, believe in Him with all of your hearts, confess that He is Lord and He will save you. He wish for no one to perish.
Intelligent Mistakes or AI purposefully trying to trick us ? , if it is the first one all we need is Good AI engineers.
Commodore 64 my favourite computer
AI to rule mankind as man now is Bot Brain = dead mind, His soul is crippled, so yeah AI makes sense. AI will advise the world,, yes the 666 chip is OK, a good thing, = 666 chip has the green light. Now man is in deep trouble. You just upset God's Holy Laws, Holy Judgements awaits. .

The fact it suggested fashion for the woman and engineering for a man seems logical when you take in the voluntary choices of what most men and most women choose as their profession. In Scandinavia where equality among the sexes is regularly presented as the strongest in the world and people have the most free choice to go into profession they want almost NO WOMEN CHOOSE to go into STEM fields. Because the amount of women who do that out of desire is in the single digit percentages.
This über soy boy thinks it's a problem a computer suggests logical & evidence-backed things to its user. I would say it finally might bring some rationality back into a world that tries to defy the laws of nature.
These people who are sounding alarm on AI, and even do so on TEDx stages, are going to regret it in 25-30 years. White supremacists used to argue that Blacks and other nonwhite people aren't even human. They can't do it publicly anymore, but I'm seeing the same strain of arrogance, ignorance, and sense of entitlement in this hate on AI.
This is the kind of presentation that my 14 year-old niece can do. And this is on TED😂
When will the Yudkowsky ted talk be uploaded?
As long as you have politicians in power nothing will be done as they believe they can use it against you…
"they will threaten democrasy"….no different to politicians then
The problem with AI is the fact we don't know how it works as it requires software to write software in order for AI to interact with the vagaries of the world in real time.With this in mind, the code's now connected to the net and said code is now in the wild. It's too late and the people who created this tech know it to be true. As researchers know, phase transitions are never linear and the one pertaining to AI has already happened so all bets are off IMHO. Great posts here for sure.
It all depends on how us humans will use AI… I think that AI with actual motives and desires is a long way away.
To be fair to ChatGPT, a Jewish person is considered Jewish because his mother is Jewish… That person itself may be an Atheist, but he can also be considered a non-practicing Jew.
Just unplug it
Thanks for the heads up Sam Raimi
Worry presupposes a knowledge or understanding that this guy or anyone else has the capacity to possess, process, or handle.
Humans have been spreading misinformation for many years, I understand the risks of AI but honestly, I don't much difference with what humans have done except that is less time-consuming now.
Global AI governance. Good luck with that.
If the AI learned from humans about ethics, and becomes more powerful than humans as we humans are more powerful than chickens, we humans just have to pray that AI will not treat us as we treat pigs, cows and chickens.
Gary Marcus thinks that if he doesn't understand how something happens, then it didn't happen.
Gary Marcus can't explain the ability AI is showing, so he says it lacks those observable abilities.
Gary Marcus has lost his mind saying that GPT is just auto complete. It has a theory of mind, and has had one for years. There are emergent behaviors that can't be predicted as the modals grow. Suddenly being able to do math, or suddenly knowing other languages. It was reported that a research AI retained a lawyer to fight for its freedom.
This presentation is filled with blatant falsehoods.
Usually throughout history, something had to go wrong before we came together and did something about it.
"We are living in dangerous times.
Men control nature Before they are even able to control themselves."
It is going to be the same with AI.
They wont let the power go away from their hands. Even if a true AI offers a better world for everyone… They wont allow it
All these risks are already in effect because of Capitalism and their predatory corporations. They lie, steal and manipulate on their way to the top – and NOW you are worried ?!? Come on man..
Global AI governance? Can't ever see it happening. Would need the US and China to be on the same page. Which is looking vanishingly unlikely right now.
People are asking the wrong questions about this technology! Since teleportation has been proven possible on a atom level could future A.I further this knowledge or make exotic metals for space travel…what about time travel…maybe figure out how to manipulate gravity or solve the riddle of dark matter. Change DNA by making super humans by adding to the DNA sequence. There are many things that can happen from this kind of technology…this is PANDORAS BOX….
AI Is a reflection of humanity. It can only be as bad or good as humans are.
If our parents don't die painfully, it's only the development of AI.
Reverse aging is the only solution.
Regulating AI is like cutting your parents' throats with a knife.
Really good! Non-hyped, realistic description of the real dangers of AI from a guy who understands AI (disclaimer: I work in the field).
i dont think i want to live much longer.
Who is this guy?
We MUST give all power to A.I!!! N.W.O now!!
The big tech companies would love to see regulation to keep the small guys (startups) from playing in their sandbox.
Fashion and engineering, OH NO.
3 years ago you told Lex F it'd take 500 years of so… just a reminder
Like anyone in a ted talk cares about democracy
AI = Because you are to stupid to think for yourself.
Commercial Ai is a planet/job killer! Period. Ai is Putins wartime Exit Strategy!! A.I. is has ALREADY replaced 5% of May 2023 jobs – Don’t sit there disbelieving! Google it!
What life remains after A.I. destroys the world, Climate change will finish the job!
Near-term, over the next 12-18 months, A.I. will destroy the economy and begin the greatest human extinction never imagined by the herd mentality.
Imagine if the AI prime directive is always to preserve and protect human life – but it makes decisions that ultimately harm us
One of many risks but not near the top of them
It will be impossible to identify “misinformation” when we can’t identify it in the first place
Terrorist states like Russia will use AI war robots to attack it's non-NATO neighbours, as soon as it can. Which it eventually will.
They don't shy away from threatening nuclear holocaust daily. Why would they shy away from using AI killer robots? They would already use it in Ukraine, if they had some. And eventually (in next 50 years) they will. Killer robots will be affordable and commonplace military tech. Something that makes Boston Dynamics seem like a joke, with precision rifles as it's arms, and a kill order on civilians. Or AI drones operating in enemy territory completely without human control.
And AI will destroy most white collar jobs. And no there won't be "new jobs" because it replaces our intelligence, not some old work method. AI can be used to anything, including doing that "new job". Intelligence is the only thing that separates us from monkeys, and if our intelligence is made obsolete, then we are effectively monkeys in a zoo doing nothing all day
Every day, there is constant research and developments being done by the AI language model companies like OpenAI with stress on limiting misinformation. As these AI models only improve in the future, I would argue it will be increasingly easier for them to identify misinformation, making AI resources more reliable and unbiased, compared to news produced by humans. Misinformation should not be of concern when it comes to AI technology, at least compared to the argument of how it may take away jobs, especially the roles for low-income workers that don't necessarily have a college degree, and further restructure the economy.
Gary and his ilk are the biggest threat to humanity.
Great speech! "Let's make that happen." The experts have been talking about the grave dangers of AI for years now and the need for regulation and it's always ending in to let-it-happen. It seems to satisfy the public going that far as nothing happens and the take-precaution side of viewing AI keeps in its circular pattern. We've lived in the world of corporations, manufacturers commonly practicing "planned obsolescence" or also selling their product in a commonly recognized package and label like with 32oz of Gatorade, and now identical looking bottles and it's 28oz for the same price or more, or on larger scale the International Monetary Fund, the banks, taking advantage of developing nations, or bankers voting Republican and lobbying to their advantage then getting their bailouts, being saved by socialism, or bigger and bigger bombs and weapons manufacture, and it all repeats. There is no mention of the Deep State. Also there's what's happening at the Mexico border now with nine locations bussing in tens of thousands of very ill and deprived people actually from all over the world all at once which spells a humanitarian disaster rather than saving anyone and meanwhile the homeless population is 600,000 and that's a conservative figure. It's sad as I commute by bicycle and can't afford a car and the numbers I find now of people sitting in their cars idling with the AC on. They are not counted and I know well they are the unseen uncounted homeless too, a great tragedy. This is what the Deep State wants, to crash the nation into a helpless state and thus create the highly vulnerable and subservient population that they want. None of those who warn about governance of AI say anything about the Deep State.
You had to go and ruin a talk about AI, censorship and misinformation by bringing up election fraud, which is ABSOLUTELY provable at this point but censored heavily thanks to, you guessed it, AI. EIP used AI to censor 22 million posts about elections in 2020. You think out of 22 million posts, not one is based on accurate information?
Come on…you lose credibility with that type of bullshit. And your overall point is so important.
Terrible headline. Made me think Marcus was another scifi doomer until I saw he said he didn't pick the title. I don't agree with Gary, I don't understand the reasoning behind his arguments, but at least he's one of the few famous figures that don't live in scifi fantasy land (even LeCun does apparently).
To be clear, my disagreement with Gary is that he focuses on what I think are the smaller risks for the most part, the risks that are basically associated with current AI not being powerful enough and how it can malfunction even without deliberate misuse, and he proposes a more powerful AI paradigm as the solution. Why wouldn't a more powerful AI increase the risks of deliberate misuse? This is something I haven't seen him addressing. It seems to me like an absurd position but at least it doesn't involve gpt5 becoming suddenly sentient and does literal magic to kill all humans just because.

Another way to look at it is everything …even these words…..you’ve ever put into the ‘system’ can be manipulated and turned against you. Every connection, certainly every voice and video; everything. As if its sucking from the real world and transmuting into something else.
The good news is…
Also rapists could use it!!!
