It is, he just can't say the "reverse aging" part out loud because people get all weird about it. Demis Hassabis has said that "all diseases" will be cured in 20 years. Maybe it won't be that fast, but the fact that a guy not known for hyperbole like Hassabis can even say that and not sound insane is itself something that would have been considered insane even five years ago.
I dunno if this is a good idea, think of tyrants and dictators who will have access to it first getting to live forever. Kim Jong Un, Ayatollah Khamenei, Putin, etc.. being in power forever..
@@jimj2683 Yes because the thing about dictators is that they don't leave. So eventually all countries will end up with dictators not saying overnight but over time
Interesting! This Biological basis of what could can (and will) lead to a “life model” that can predict ever more advanced aspects of biology, I imagine will have immense capabilities when combined with future “world models” that will model the physical world from a spatial and atomic perspective and lead to a very fascinating future
Each and every individual has unique DNA. Wonder if the following can be done: predict whether a person will get cancer based on the possible proteins that he synthesises in his body, or why cancer, any of the possible diseases that he could develop later in life. Would be such a boon to health and longevity.
Everyone will get cancer if they live long enough. Everyone has DNA mutations, so it is just a matter of time before one of those mutations affect a cell to grow uncontrollably.
Drugs that work well enough will be cures. I don't buy the whole "pharmaceutical industry wants to keep us sick" conspiracy. Whichever of these companies develops the first *cure* for a disease will make a lot more money than the first one that develops a treatment drug. And that isn't a bad thing for all the countries with sane healthcare systems, because they will negotiate affordable prices for drugs that are cures.
@@miraculixxs You're listening to the wrong guy when it comes to big-picture issues in AI. LeCun is much more of a technician than a scientist/philosopher. And more of a salesman. (Funny how his stance aligns with the economic interests of Meta.)
@@miraculixxs I have a lot of respect for LeCun's technical skills, but little for his thoughts on AI safety. I once heard him slip in an interview and say that it's okay if people try to do harm with AI, because "we'll be monitoring everyone." Wow. So different than the way he usually sells AI safety.
The long-term goal should be to reverse aging and cure all diseases.

@@GuyIsNotHere So you would rather condemn trillions of future people to death because you fear some dictators keeping power forever some places?
@@jimj2683 Yes because the thing about dictators is that they don't leave. So eventually all countries will end up with dictators not saying overnight but over time
@@GuyIsNotHere Good people will also be living much longer.

We need cures, not drugs😊

Drugs will be cures. What else would they be?
Bloomberg...Metz...hummm..to much noticing..aslo bad interviewer
It indicates that the Nobel committee wanted to riff on the AI hype, at least for the physics one
There are times when it's cool to be cynical. Open your eyes. This is not one of them.
@@netscrooge If anything I was being sarcastic, not cynical. And truly I am very realistic. Watch Yann Le Cunn. He basically says the same thing.

@@netscrooge hey thanks so much there I was listening to this guy and totally copying what he said. Omg
