@@davidadams2395 You can skip the parts that you're not interested in, and if you want to come back to a video where you know something was discussed it makes it very easy to get quicker to what you're looking for.
Prof. Chomsky is my personal hero. Through the interview he once had with Zach de la Rocha, got me into Rage Against The Machine. He inspired me to study computer science and mechatronics engineering. Thank you very much for these interviews and all you did. I wish you the best, especially good health.
@@ttt69420 Yes I really do like academics. Especialy whe they also take part in activism. He may not be e.g. Michael Jordan, but his scientific contributions and how he shaped society through it will outlast the legacy of probably every athlete. Norbert Wiener, Bertrand Russell, Stafford Beer, Grace Hopper, Ada Lovelace, Charles Babbage, Richard Feynman, Joseph Weizenbaum and Gotthard Günther are cool too. Honestly curious, may I ask who's yours?
Well.. I am not sure whether it is objective... why don't we speak about Europe... the history shows that once Germany (+ Russia) becomes too powerful on the continent we have a war. And that's what is happening - Russia has that insane vision of ruling half of Europe (to Berlin) - What about some attempts in the past to build a gas pipeline from africa to south of Europe. All was banned based on the German premise that NordStreams should be good enough. Germany wanted to be an energy hub and make all other states the slaves to it with no way for economic growth. What the EU accession did with south of Europe? Just no economic prosperty.. People form Spain have to emigrate to have a decent job.. that's what EU membership does to satelite countries (regulations, regulations, regulations)... If the Germans want shut down nuclear plants hoping that solar panels in northern hemisphere is enough let them do it domestically.. but what they were doing was lowering standards of living of all Europeans by their green policies. Americans just introducing again more balance across European Countries (true with their great benefits). Homsky is wrong in many aspects of what is better for individual European countries...
@@FreemonSandlewould wtf is a CIA gatekeeper? I’m no Chomsky fan and I follow almost all of the conspiracies (except Q Anon), but CIA gatekeeper is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard.
He must really like you! I can see why: you treat him with respect but without unnecessary reverence, and keep it simple and to the point with your questions. He likes that.
My French teacher took just a few days of every semester to share HER personal testimony of being Saved from the persecution if Jews during the Holocaust as a child. She wouldn't have a job today. Her students agree one of the BEST teachers during middle school as she LOVED her job and was giving back. My parents were history buffs on Concentration Camps and WWII that reinforced her story. 🙏
Janni C Yu could read with great interest our french pedo psy Boris Cyrulnik on HIS own experience in France as a jew kid who escaped from capturing then he could hace been sent to concentration camp as his family. He was kept and protected by a family and... Survive. But he wrote recently several books on this weird period during war and... After : the misunderstanding of people around him post war for decade he had to face with. They didn't understand what was deep inside his soul and living. If yur able to read french it could be a nice exercice... But his excellent books are translated. In fact his "french" is truly accessible even for a beginner. That s why I loved this guy explaining complex psycho or educational troubles with simple words. Specialist and introducer in France of the concept of "resilience". Just have a try !
I was thinking Noam was normal but he is not completely really... I think vaccinated are protected by being vaccinated and there should also be factories, companies, and restaurants that ban vaccinated to come and it should be only for unvaccinated people. He is spot on with other subjects but when it comes to pandemics and vaccines he is 100% delusional.
You call people that want to forcefully inject humanity with toxic concoctions prescribed by totally corrupt corporations a brilliant mind? If such troglodyte would be in power, humanity would be toast.
One very simple logical fact seems to have escaped the old man’s mind……if HE is vaccinated…..then HE is fully😂protected……No >?……his concern is unfounded.
I am not vaccinated and I did isolate my self. He is right about vaccines in general, but this time neither it was scientific nor benevolent. It was the result of capitalistic mindset, and corruption of education as he said that lasts at least 40 years, and in medicine as well. Medical studies are reserved for rich and corrupted and lack of trust is completely understandable. I have grown up in socialism and I understand communism and I am communist, but this time I am proud and still fully in believe that I saved my life and my sons life with isolation and I am proud to be not vaccinated and part of this communistic experiment of capitalist.
@@carlttoon Serious question: Could you define what made him specifically 'go into conspiracy territory', other than choosing a controversial position regarding the CV vaccine? I suppose you're aware of the disappointing results of the vaccine and the risks of it.
Albert Bourla is a fellow Jewish comrade of his; if you dirty goyim don't accept the magical juice, which will degenerate you, then you ought to be persecuted and cut off from the Jew-controlled society. I'm glad I was able to translate his toxic nonsense for you.
As a Brazilian I'm very happy you brought Paulo Freire as an education reference to this already great discussion. It is great to see how well recognized he is abroad, despite the persecution history he and his ideas have in Brazil. I also noticed that Prof. Chomsky has a plate on his shelf with a Paulo Freire's saying written on it in Portuguese "qualquer discriminação é imoral" (any (kind of) discrimination is immoral)... That's awesome! Thanks for this interview and for making the content available - I was brought here by Chomsky interview but I'm definitely taking a look at your other videos. Cheers!
What persecution history? Freire's methods are the norm in every Education Theory course in Brazil, the man is considered the Educational Patron of the Country.
Really, any kind of discrimination is immoral? Even that one that serves to discern among the several possible interpretations of the word "discrimination"? It is the kind of idiotic nonsense that Freire's believers spread proudly but makes regular people (including Brazilians!) feel embarrassed.
@@dan5626 That's the reason we are at the bottom of the education rank in the world. Freire was just a communist militant that never taught anything beyond this.
How come such a brilliant observer of the world seems to have an unreserved trust in the pharma industry? How come he doesn't seem concerned with growing economic inequality? How come the ridicuous national debt is never mentioned? Finally, professor Chomsky's admiration for the so called World Economic Forum rather makes me think that man lost his touch. Other than that, long live professor Chomsky. You are a marvel.
Thanks for such a nice interview! Please pass dr Chomsky my warmest regards and gratefulness. He's such a giant, and always a great lesson to listen to his incredibly articulated thoughts and immense knowledge. But this time I enjoyed particularly the first few minutes were you asked him about his personal life and managed to open a window into his personality, his affections, his daily routine and drive to keep spreading his ideas at his venerable age. I'm in awe and so grateful to be able to access his teachings almost on a daily basis thanks to his productivity and generosity and the work of people like you and your channel. Thanks, please keep going!
Well, well, well, after being wrong about COVID and the vaccinations on almost every front, Mr. Chomsky looks to avoid talking much about it… . Once upon a time he was a smart man. Now he just loves HIS life to much to live it at full costs!
A normal response from anyone when realising one was wrong. A simple admission and apology is all that is required, pointless harping on about one’s mistakes etc.
Profound thanks for this interview. I appreciated Professor Chomsky's scholastic work in the past, but I never recognized the value of his philosophy. Always questioned why he took on sensitive topics. Now that I have raised kids (college students now) and have worked in the AI domain for half a decade (software engineering background). I can finally connect with what Professor is saying WRT learning and education - difference between knowing versus understanding. WRT ChatGPT - plagiarizing versus groking Sadly most people won't get this. Ironically ChatGPT does have significant use since we rarely produce novelty, mostly we mix encode already learned by me or others.
I’ve been Reading a book named ‘Philosophy of Physics’ by Lawrence Sklar. I don’t have a formal physics education (apart from High School). In concepts such as ‘simultaneity in Special Relativity’ among others, it has been really difficult to understand. Last weeks, I’ve been able to advance in this comprehension thanks to Chatgpt. I give to the robot a version of my understanding and based on this I have a very constructive ‘conversation’ with this robot. Yes, Chatgpt is really helpful to learn. ( I have an M.A. in Linguistics, English is not my mother language). Greetings from Medellín.
Ask it to translate the text into the style of Steven Strogatz. For whatever reason that one seems the best of all the popularizers I tried. I also tried Michio Kaku's style, which is interesting, but sometimes clarity is sacrificed for flowery metaphors.
Vaccinated, unvaccinated, there's no difference, they can both transfer the virus. The vaccinated are also free to stay home if they feel they're not safe in sociëty. They can also talk to a psychologist, I'm sure that can help. I'm sick of the drama, get over it allready. Be greatfull for the possibility to vaccinate yourself and move on.
Chomsky follows conventional thought on the covid vaccine. Makes sense cause he is an elder. And perhaps using some of his emotions to guide his thinking. I agree about vaccines in general however he doesn't discuss how corporations who influence governmental officials, and who he often has critiqued for the amount of power they weld didn't have an invested interest in this covid pandemic. Noam is still an inspiration and I can only conclude he took a hard stance on covid due to where he is at in life more than searching for wisdom and truth on the matter. One day, perhaps after Noam is gone, either physically or mentally, will we know the final analysis on the covid pandemic.
I am very surprised by how uncritical his vaccine comments are. I would have expected him to speak about how pharma-pushed manufacture of consent has functioned to frame mainstream debate over how effective the vaccines really are. The phrase “breakthrough infections” that spread through legacy media was, we now know given vaccine doesn’t stop infection or transmission (although it was initially promoted as such; vaccinate yourself to protect the vulnerable, etc), a euphemism for ‘vaccine failure.’ What I get from this episode is not that age necessarily clouds thinking. It’s that identification with the body, and the fear of losing it, makes true rational analysis and clarity impossible.
@@claudiafahey1353 Well, it can be true to some extent. But I heard many old people from this " high risk group " claiming that they didn't understand that young people and the rest of the population would be sacrified for the supposedly good of their age group. Again, it's a matter of wisdom and values. Here in France, some old people ( older than 50 ) were the first ones warning that Single Thought was taking place. They knew this notion and could rapidly feel it in the air, better so than young people who could barely understand what Single Thought meant.
Mr Chomsky makes the assertion that there is a 100% concensus of agreement amongst the scientific community on the recent healthcare crisis. This is simply not the case - an objective truth not my opinion. Regardless of what anyone chooses to believe. If you are going to build an argument based on asumption, you can't expect it to hold up to much scrutiny. This is beyond ironic coming from the author of 'Media Control'. Truth is the only authority.
I love how Noam Chomsky dismisses this brain AI uplink (or whatever you want to call it). As he says, we know nothing of the brain. It is a bit arrogant to assume we can harness consciousness.
we're not even close to understanding the brain. Between the massive the galaxy sized neural networks, the enteric nervous system, the myriad relationship of the dozen of neurotransmitters, the power-efficiency compared to computers, and the individual pieces of the brain working together: not even close. But here, let's ask chatGPT if it's a brain: I am a computer program designed to simulate human intelligence and language understanding. I do not have a physical brain or consciousness. I am based on a machine learning model that has been trained on vast amounts of text data, allowing me to understand and respond to natural language input.
@@mariemeneses2117 it can't even simulate human intelligence yet because it doesn't have any memory. but scientists are proposing we could put the AI to sleep so that it can integrate information workload through a type of defragmentation process.
ask the obvious which I've heard nobody ask yet, "What do the vaccinated have to worry about being around the unvaccinated if they're protected? If 1 unvaxxed walks into a room of 19 vaxxed, why are the vaxxed suddenly in danger?"
It's fascinating how a man speak negatively of capitalism and simultaneously promote the medical products of a profit driven pharmaceutical company to the point of saying people who refuse it ought to be excluded from society. Very mind expanding and thought provoking. Thank you!
Its like he really doesnt understand the scope of corporate corruption and control has on all facets of society not just political.. Its like he needs to go back and understand the implications of the many books he has written
By this logic him advocating for people eating food would also be inconsistent with his beliefs. What absolute idiocy. Truly, imagined hypocrisy is the prerogative of the unenlightened
Well I guess everybody's entitled to an opinion and nobody's perfect... yes that is a pretty extreme view, but because I think it has to do with personal health people tend to be extreme on those kinds of things.. it's my understanding that this man is pretty intelligent and pretty straightforward...maybe, since hes high risk because of his age, this thing has just scared the shit out of him and hes blindly following the system that he would normally question.
I hate how people like Noam who are incredibly knowledgeable on a topic feels like this makes them ready to speak confidently on any topic. Like on neuroscience he is so incredibly out of his depth yet acts like he knows it all
It would be useful for ChatGPT to incorporate a feature that allows a teacher or examiner to input a text and check whether it was previously generated by ChatGPT or if it is an original piece.
@@LectionesInterbellum What is the process? I have personally verified it by requesting GPT to write a text, copying the output, logging out, restarting the browser, logging back in, and pasting the text, then asking whether it was written by GPT or is an original piece. Each time, the response indicates that it is an original text.
I have a question for Professor Chomsky. There are some people who have had serious reactions to certain medications and vaccines- I had an anaphylactic reaction to Penicillin and my heart stopped beating- I almost died. My cousin got Guilliane Barre syndrome from a flu vaccine and became totally paralyzed and never recovered. Even Dr. Fauci said in the beginning of the pandemic, that if you have had anaphylaxis or Guilliane Barre that you probably should not get the COVID vaccine. There are some people who cannot get it, and they follow the restrictions concerning COVID- your thoughts?
Thanks for this fantastic interview... Chomsky, thanks for demonstrating how someone can be both brilliant and blind. I have learned a great deal from him and his vast teachings, but I have also learned the lesson of intellectual hubris. Thanks again for the great interview.
His teachings are hugely overrated. I used to be an acolyte until I grew up and started to look into the empirical data in the areas he discusses. His positions on economics are a literal absurdity.
Holy cow. He's actually still alive? He's born at the end of 1928. So he's 94 now (2023). Most gamers probably know about "Gnome Chompski" (the garden gnome of HL2:EP2) that got his nick name as a hommage to Noam Chomsky. Though I had no idea he's still alive and still that mentally fit. Just awesome!
My issue with Chat GPT is that doesn't cite it's sources and it can't be trusted to give reliably *true* information, just reliably *common* information.
It doesn't have sources. It doesn't give factual information. It simply predicts which texts is likely to come next. The answers it gives cannot be trusted because they are just statistically generated strings of tokens. That is what makes it so amazing and what makes it untrustworthy at the same time.
@@DrSpooglemon Exactly. It's basically good for entertainment at this point. Possibly also as a starting point for people already skilled enough to vet every claim and examine every argument.
I’ve got many friends who were vaccinated and boosted that have not only been infected, but passed the virus to others. Specifically, an MD that not only was vaccinated, but boosted at every opportunity. He and his wife have been down with the COVID 19 virus for the better part of 2 weeks. His wife actually had a relapse. Had another seemingly healthy 50 year old friend that had a stoke in July of 2022 then dropped dead a week ago while making breakfast for his kids. Fully vaccinated and boosted. What utter stupidity. I could go on…
I share reservations that mrna Covid vaccines are as safe and effective as promoted by public health officials. When I see comments like yours and others, it gives me hope that debate is growing on this issue, and that one day it will be sincerely engaged with by mainstream channels. The automatic assumption that ‘if it’s a vaccine, it must be good,’ is foolish and dangerous. Critical analysis of the particular vaccine product must be done, and evidence provided. That taking the vaccine was promoted as a ‘moral duty’ to stop from transmitting to the vulnerable - when the reality is this product, unlike vaccines against other diseases, does not stop transmission or infection - makes one question whether regulatory agencies were negligent in their due diligence regarding this product.
@@justindifeliciantonio5140 you are definitely right in questioning FDA integrity considering Pharma industry provide 75% of the FDA budget to their drug division. (From NY times article), some scientist at NIH were collaborating with Moderna on c19 vaccine, they became millionaires. Pretty scary. Robert Kennedy Jr does a lot of good stuff covering this, shame Chomsky doubled down on his view, he loses a lot of credibility. Mass vaccination was a scam.
I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt due to his age and that hes in a high risk group hes probably scared shitless... he may be super intelligent and wise but at heart he's human and may have some neurosis.... The one thing I have noticed about the past few years is that people have become incredibly neurotic
@@claudiafahey1353 Wrong, it's called intellectual arrogance (Hence why all so called academics fell for it) whilst us commoners seen through it. It was very fascinating to watch so many so called smart people be duped so blatantly. I'll never ever trust a 'professional' again.
@@user-xq1eo6wi9r I had similar experiences with people around me. I agree with you and this so-called crisis has showed that resistance to totalitarism comes from somewhere else than formal intelligence.
Thijmen does a nice job of just listening, at first I wasn't keen on his sounding like a news reporter, but I realise this may be for the benefit of Mr Chomsky. I wanted a bit more follow up questions at times, but I understand it was a tight one hour to fit a lot in, and it was a good watch. Thanks.

ChatGPT recently taught me about composting systems and incorporating chickens. I was able to learn efficiently, put together references, emails, reports and educational signs to guide community members and much more. What I achieved in 1 day would have taken me a week. I feel with chatGPT I can learn in ways that suit me and felt less intimidated by mountains of information to sort through. While there is challenges for the educational system overall it's a benefit for ongoing education. The one where professors, teachers and the like become obsolete and your certificates are as good as toilet paper.
ChatGPT from "open"-Ai corporation (tje name is hypocrisy or irony by itself) are officially geobanned to access it such countries like China, Russia with Ukraine, Syria and Venezuela (where no computers from huge poverty). By thousands academia paper on topic of geobanning, it's always political. Politics in science usually made worse to humanity, latest example is deny of sharing vaccine formula by political reasons.
@@doublesushi5990 The tool can't be responsible for how people use it - unless people use it for the purpose it was built - like guns and rat poison - the intent is to kill. ChatGPT and the technology behind can utterly transform the way people Learn -- The fact the it is First transforming the way people Cheat, says a lot about the kind of people we are forming, and the lousy ways we expect them to show proficiency.
This seems so obvious. It's a bigger paradigm shift than the printing press. Every child will grow up with 24 hour tutor and counselor at their side. The views Chomsky expresses here regarding ChatGPT being useless for education are completely new and absolutely baffling to me. Dare I say shocking and objectively absurd. For a world famous intellectual to look at the first generation of the tech that will very possibly cure cancer and usher in a utopian age (or wipe us out), and shrug? Jeez. Um, okay? I guess!? Good to know that it is possible for someone that smart to have such a daft response to obvious history unfolding right in front of them...
wearing a mask does not mean freed from infection. Boosting your immune system and the general health of the population should be the priority. Surely, around elderly people, if their immunity is impaired, one could consider taking precautions that are suitable. But I dont understand how a lad that lives to be 94 years and probably did not wear a face mask his entire life now finds it a rational decision of conduct. Maybe I have missed his point entirely, though.
The most coherent and persuasive part of Chomsky's essay on ChatGPT was the quote from ChatGPT itself, about half of the essay, where finally a clear explanation was given. On the morality issue, at least ChatGPT didn't advocate putting unvaccinated working class into concentration camps. The final stage of a mediocre intellectual is sad.
You're right, Mr.Chomsky, GPT or statistical based neural networks have nothing to do in education because students need rules. GPT may fetch rules available in libraries (hitec plagiarism) but it can't explain what it is doing when generating a text.
Actually, 100% of scientific papers say that having the COVID jabs has no effect on transmission.. if you’ve been jabbed, you’ll still transmit as much as those who are not. It’s not a belief, it’s a scientific fact that has been published repeatedly since mid-2021. Respect his opinions on everything else though. Loved his ones on education.
Transmission and Infectious SARS-CoV-2 Shedding Kinetics in Vaccinated and Unvaccinated Individuals Jiwon Jung, MD1,2; Ji Yeun Kim, PhD1; Heedo Park, MS3; et al You absolute buffoon. Stop getting your science news from facebook.
@@Alaplaya9 Loved the absolute buffoon 😂tag I can’t make myself call these pharmaceutical products “vaccines” because it feels like an insult to science and an insult to all the great vaccines that have protected generations of us over the past centuries. So I’ll call these ones “jabs”. But, coming to the point. Just few sources, since a discussion on the jabs is pointless (except in terms of the growing evidence of its harms AND people being asked to take boosters) and a discussion on its effectiveness on transmission is even more so; especially when large portions of the population have acquired natural immunity and the variants have gotten much milder and the healthcare system has created effective treatment protocols. Keeping these sources from late 2021 and early 2022, since that’s when any reduction in transmission was needed the most due to the raging Delta variants. But studies showed no such benefit. By mid and later 2022, large portions of the population already got natural immunity and the variants got milder as well, so the question of reducing transmission mattered less. Public Health England’s Technical briefing 20: Page 3 (Summary), bullet point 4, with further details on page 35. “PCR cycle threshold (Ct) values from routinely undertaken tests in England show that Ct values (and by inference viral load) are similar between individuals who are unvaccinated and vaccinated. “ assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1009243/Technical_Briefing_20.pdf Whether that means transmission would be same, I’m not sure of, but maybe the below paper in The Lancet answers the aspect better. www.thelancet.com/journals/laninf/article/PIIS1473-3099(21)00648-4/fulltext “Nonetheless, fully vaccinated individuals with breakthrough infections have peak viral load similar to unvaccinated cases and can efficiently transmit infection in household settings, including to fully vaccinated contacts.” “However, this study unfortunately also highlights that the vaccine effect on reducing transmission is minimal in the context of delta variant circulation.” www.thelancet.com/pdfs/journals/laninf/PIIS1473-3099(21)00690-3.pdf Just a few of the papers out there. Either way, anyone who has lived in the real world over the past three years has seen jabbed folk get infected and transmit it to others around them so easily that you’d wonder whether it really made any difference at all (I’m a living example of it - twice and both times from jabbed folk, who themselves got it from other jabbed folk!). Many large companies across the world began to change their “vaccine” mandates for the same reason, making the jabs a matter of choice, since they play almost no role in transmission; but employees were encourage to get jabbed for any potential it had to protect the individual themselves. The jabs may, to some degree, protect a few age-groups and people with co-morbidities against severe disease, but then there is the worrying growing evidence that shows that the “rare” side-effects and deaths caused by the jabs may not be so rare, especially among healthy young adults; its the data collection regarding this that has been pathetic. Let’s hope the terrifying statistics of unexplained excess deaths across countries unrelated to COVID infection has nothing to do with the jabs. You forget you’re living in times and in a situation where there are much larger forces at work that science is subjugated by. Oh and I’ve barely logged into Facebook in years. Never knew people got “facts” from there, thanks for letting me know. I'm old school when it comes to facts. Cheers, Absolute buffoon.
Really appreciate your questions/observations in the last segment, thank you. Is Professor Chomsky unaware of gov't-Big Tech collusion re: censorship? Does he not read BMJ? Has he forgotten his excellent work from the 90s? Of course 100% of experts seemingly agree when dissent is silenced and the silencing is censored. It's concerning, to say the least.
Noam Chomsky is no doubt a brilliant mind, why I find it so strange that he disregards the known fact that Covid vaccines do not stop transmission - this is not an opinion. The medical authorities of Denmark, Sweden, Florida and now UK have back tracked significantly on who they recommend these shots to, there is definitely not a 100% consensus around this. Thank you for bringing this up again with him and so tactfully and respectfully.
It's because you don't understand the hidden grammar here. Chomsky is brilliant at deceiving, distorting and distracting, and manipulating, just like any Jew ever. To Jews like him, hate is a virtue, and that really says it all.
he has many blind spots. he said the US should stay in syria to defend the kurds which is just the usual excuse of an empire creating chaos to take advantage of it. he knows that. he comes around every 4 years to tell us to vote the lesser evil, this time he said if we don't our grandchildren will be underwater. meaning the biden is substantially different enough to avert environmental apocalypse. again, he knows better. he also called activists who were trying to push for medicare for all during the pandemic "children who want their candy" and yea the comments on the unvaxed are really unforgivable unless he owns up and apologizes. he basically said they should get excommunicated and starve, where they find food is there problem. it was based on no science just the for profit scaremoring propaganda. now even bill gates admits they don't prevent transmission and we have pfizer on the record saying they didn't even test if it prevented transmission before making it available at the same time the CEO was tweeting how it's 100% effective in preventing transmission. total for profit scam by an industry with zero government oversight. corporations controlling public policy, it's straight up fascism.
Check any vaccine. They do not stop transmission either. They can reduce your chances though. They just greatly reduce the chance of you dying. And how you can tell that they work too is that Bill Gates stopped countries from giving them to the global south because he wouldn't make a profit on it...
Chomsky reached the limits of his ability to perceive reality more than a decade ago... easily more. He's been a raging fool for almost twenty years now.
Professor Chomski gave another engaging interview. Listeing on the background, Only One point where I think he is not fully informed and as such is making a mistake based on limited information, is whether the vaccines are safe. Not pro or against, just if the vaccines are PRIMARILY safe and secondary EFFICIENT. Safe being a million times more importan than efficient. Which are already not what they were stating them to be. Dr John Campbell should have him on and have an interesting exchange. It is always fascinating to listen to men with such calibre as Prof. Chomsky but we should always remember that noone is infallible. And science is all about verifying and evaluating all the data, not being fantatics, not following narratives, or being corrupted by money, threats or power but being in a constant pursuit of the truth. Once again, Thank you both for the interview. Men who think deeply are always important to conversations.
you do know that chomsky spent his career teaching at MIT (about which he himself said "you may as well call it the Military Institute of Technology")? he has been hosted by universities all over the world and been broadcast planet-wide "speaking truth to power". the New York Times calls him "the most important intellectual alive"... i don't think he's ill informed. i think he's a liar.
Chat gpt can be used as a tool, as a teachers assistant..it can generate text to work with and teaching activities, it can create nuanced analyses of texts using different methods, to demonstrate them for students. It can simplify abstract and difficult concepts for students who are having trouble understanding. It can explain spelling and grammar with multiple examples. It is a great friend to a curious mind. It can give you ideas and directions. Underestimate it's value at your own risk.
Learn other languages is always usefull, despite ChatGPT. It will have many advantages. some things you can't translate. Bilingualism could delay Alzeimer apparently as well.
Always will be! We have to be aware that every promise that came out of the tech sector has either been a grift or outright dystopic. Most of it is just utter nonsense sold as revolutionary convenience. Anyone who ever studied a language out of some degree of passion will know the joy associated with it is nothing to be skipped.
A key thing to understand about ChatGPT is that it *cannot demonstrate understanding* simply because it has no understanding to demonstrate. Its widespread use and 'success' in educational settings is demonstrating more than just how uninteresting these settings are to students, more crucially it is demonstrating that the methods and means we use to measure attainment in no real way actually measures the one thing such settings are *meant* to impart; namely, understanding. ChatGPT is not the problem. The way we are teaching -- and perhaps even more crucially the ways in which we are *testing* -- this is where the problems lie.
It doesn't get the meaning, the semantics, the human brain has a fantastic capacity allowing it to 'choose' the right meaning of a word from a context even if this context isn't explicit, it also makes assumptions, a great example of this is the word jaguar if you look at a snippet of an interview done at the mit and you're a computer scientist you will assume they're talking about the programming language, if you're a biologist you will assume it's about the animal, we are far from building an AI that can embed such context in it's model.
In a school district (WA), when staff is COVID positive the individual is mandated to stay home for five days despite effect on students’ learning. More over, the individual loses pay when no sick days are available…just one of the effects??
I thought talk of 'the unvaccinated' had been put to bed now. Surprised to hear it used like this, as it was in 2021 and even up to last year here in 2023. So much has changed and new knowledge emerged since then.
So did I. I have been a long time fan of Chomsky, he has contributed so much to my worldview but i have to say i am forced to review so much of it after his unvaccinated comments. He still hasn't looked into it in any detail, somehow believing all the bluster of the pharma companies at the expense of everyone else! His ignorance (something which i thought i'd never say if the man) is breathtaking.
People, myself included, fall very easily into the trap of thinking that because a person knows a great deal about one subject, that their pronouncements on any subject are as detailed, reliable and accurate. This is a trap. An example of our tendency to fall under the sway of preachers, "prophets" and politicians. We project our own desires and expectations onto our heroes, and then judge them when they fail to live up to them.
He seems to be getting all his information from the very same sources that he has always claimed were deceiving people on international affairs! Very sad.
This video perfectly illustrates how even the greatest thinkers alive can be so wrong about so many things. I admire the man and his life's work, but at the end of the day he is after all every bit the flawed human being that we all are, with our own thought distortions and biases driving us. Love to hear him talk, and I am happy to suffer through the cringey moments, but I'm not ready to accept everything he says as established truth or even science. I should like to think that he would appreciate my perspective and respect it, as I respect him.
As a former elementary teacher, I definitely resonate with this! It's comforting to hear someone iterate so succinctly the problems in the US education system. Couldn't agree more.
Not only in America. I learned in Europe that somewhere between the 9th and 11th year of age children are taught to loose all interest in new topics. If you don't come up with a game or something that makes them move around or they can build together themselves, you waste your time. If you want them to sit at their table and lisen to frontal teaching the smartphone/tabet under the table will always be more interesting. And they don't learn how to use their body and not even their fingers, something the basics need to be learned of before they are ten. Just today came up that 20.000 children in this country can't even swim. Especially city-children are extremely clumsy, not only in body. Most can't even draw, because they have no command over their fingers if not 2-dimensional wiping. At eleven they produce 'art' that priorily was ascribed to pre-school level, being unable to hold pencils pens and brushes. That's an educational disaster. I saw it happen in the last 30 years: handicrafts were skipped for computer-education. And now there is nobody to fix solar-pannels to the roof. Because most young city-people can't bodily climb a roof and don't understand three dimensional construction. Construction workers come mainly from the country-side from the children-stock that still climbs trees, out of school, but there aren't that many people living there, because schools that teach 'useful crafts' and de/constructed and fixed things even in primary, were closed because of lack of local children. It already started back in the seventies: I moved to the city because of allegedly better schools. We had unisex-handicrafts in primary: girls and boys did sewing, button-fixing AND building with saws, hammers and nails, but being city kids we built bookstops that were precrafted and only needed five nails, because we might have hit out fingers, and our lwyer-parents might have protested. - The 11 year olds neighbour-kids in the village cut not only willow-pipes with sharp knives but also built bird-nesting boxes, that needed a lot more planning and thinking ahead. Now handicrafts have been dropped for the sake of computer-use. We produce technologically dependant helpless individuals that call for a spacialists that won't come.
Not everyone is destined for Liberal Arts in University. Engineers and scientists have little use for Shakespeare etc. and should not have those subjects shoved down their throats. Similarly, there is a vital need for engineers, programmers and Techs to repair the next generation of robots. Similar things can be said for all the trades. Without a rigorous testing system, there is no way of ensuring standards are met. This, to a large part does not affect elementary school instruction but is Vital in higher grades, tech schools and the Sciences. Regards
Teaching about slavery and colonialism is teaching history. Facts. You can understand discrimination through statistics. Critical theories, seeing all education through an ideological lens, is something totally different.
I have many of his books and often refer to his teachings, but his views on the vaccines & the medical journals (100% of medical journals he says), yet so many journals have since published rebuffs of the claims that the vaccines are safe & effective. The covid-19 narrative has unravelled and I think that Chomsky should have a rethink.
I deeply respect Dr Chomsky for his incredible contribution to language studies, computing science, and many other subjects; however, he is not a computing scientist and, in particular, not an AI expert. His opinions about what ChatGPT is and how it works are not grounded in research and his predictions about what it can and cannot do are uninformed. To compare GPT3 to plagiarism is to completely misrepresent what it does and how it works. You might as well call every thought written down by any human as plagiarism. LLMs (like GPT3) are trained to think like people. This thinking process is an emergent property and not something specifically coded. No one really knows why it is able to perform the amazing things it does, but empirically we know that it works. It is also knowledgeable and capable in ways that vastly exceed human capabilities. What it generates as output comes from a thinking process and not a duplication of text. The implications of course are profound. The next version of GPT will be GPT4 which will be multi-modal. It will incorporate text and images (and possibly sound) into a single model and translate between them, between languages, between cultures and even between knowledge domains. The ability of ChatGPT to replace many jobs is a real possibility within the next few years. I have been using it in my work and find it profoundly intelligent and useful in ways that no human could compete. Education will need to adapt. Educational institutions that do not, will become irrelevant.
amazing. How you say that it is 'emergent' and 'vastly more intelligent'. anyone who has used it for a little while recognizes its many flaws. It is not 'intelligent'. It can produce nonsense and doesn't know it. At the end of every text it writes a disclaimer to that effect. Perhaps you're interests are vested a bit too closely for you to see this clearly?
@@FredPlanatia ChatGPT relies on prompts. Good prompting gets good results. Bad prompting gets bad results. If you don't know how to fly a plane, it hardly makes sense to claim that it's flawed because it crashes sometimes when you fly. ChatGPT does have limits, but researchers have only scratched the surface about what it is capable of and how to elicit those capabilities. There is a new field of research called "Prompt Engineering" which has proven to work well at improving results. As an example, I used ChatGPT yesterday to help my son with his accounting homework. ChatGPT was able to clearly explain accounting principles I did not fully understand. The dialoging mechanism of ChatGPT was excellent for digging down into the details of complex ideas. ChatGPT was remarkably helpful in this instance. As another example, I used ChatGPT to explain the workings of a complex program I was working on. Its understanding of the code and the libraries that were used was astounding and very useful.
@@bmatichuk how do you know it was explaining them clearly if you did not understand the principles? Blindly relying on this as a teaching aide seems risky to me. its early days for this tech and anytime you can't check its answers against your own or someone else's expert knowledge; you're on thin ice. And really, implying that i don't know 'how to drive it'. ridiculous. How do you know you 'drove it well' if you can't check its results. it seems many are all too eager to believe something is working miracles. Eventually, we'll lose all our ability to think critically and just 'let the AI' decide because 'its so smart'. I dred the consequences of that.
@@FredPlanatia if something is explained clearly you can test if it is true extremely fast. the important thing is to understand as fast as possible something, and that is where chatgpt shines, with right prompting. I also believe this time the professor doesn't understand what he's talking about. ChatGPT can be a great help for learning and understanding new concepts quickly. With the right prompting, it can explain things clearly and help you test if it is true. As a senior programmer (25+), I have found it to be like having a super-junior assistant that can help me with coding tasks. While it can make mistakes, this can be optimized by providing clear directions and prompt engineering. I have found that my productivity has increased significantly (10x +) since using ChatGPT, and I highly recommend it as a teaching aide. proof 2: This answer above was made with chatgpt as a test. it took me 20seconds to express the key points and get this text. so, writing it, reading to check if it says what i wanted and pasteing here - took me like 40s... a lot less time than it would have taken before, to organize ideas and translate. so is chatgpt still useless?
I'd agree it isn't plagiarism but this evades the point of it being a tool to avoid scholarship. And come on, it is nothing more than natural language statistical modeling of large data sets. However useful it is, there is no more intelligent awareness to it than Eliza had.
There is no privilege in being unvaccinated whatsoever and there is no evidence of any epidemiological benefit for excluding unvaccinated people from society. His disregard for the unvaccinated is based on sentiment and irrational bias, which is really disheartening. An intellectual of his caliber should know better.
@@gobdovan there is also this argument that I find quite convincing. It's that if you get vaccinated you have much less chance to get infected and therefore you have less chance to spread it. Not sure how true that is, but it does make sense.
I used to find his talks interesting as he could prattle on in depth on destructive US foreign policies in a historic perspective. However when these things are going on in front of his face, like the case of Syria he seems totally blind to it. I am of the opinion he is some kind of left gatekeeper, his Covid remarks only confirmed my suspicions.
Its nice to know his opinion of ChatGpt, just after me learning about a few meaningful concepts, topics related to my stream of work and feeling really happy and useful of it as a tool.
I'm still geeking out that after all these years the thing that really unites me conceptually with Dr. Chomsky is our shared appreciation of Dewey's work. Long live ye oh Chomskyites; long live ye Deweyites!
what does Chomsky talk about effective boosters and the unvaxed if the vax would work there would be no need to isolate the unvaxed if it is not effective there is no need to take the shot, where is the logic
I hear a lot of "the US will throw you out of the international finance system, out of New York, Wall Street etc." I can't help but think of Hitler and his theories about this world of international finance affairs...
ChatGPT is an excellent learning tool, I think professor Chomsky hasn't used it. It understands at least 5 languages (that I could check) with almost immaculate accuracy, responds in according to what you ask, keeps track of the whole conversation and connects dots, it can be an excellent reference material that alows you to quickly solve problems that would otherwise take countless more hours.

He inspired me to study computer science and mechatronics engineering.

I love you Noam; a voice of wisdom, courage and sanity in a crazy, fearful, insane world. Thank you Brother Noam.
Well.. I am not sure whether it is objective... why don't we speak about Europe... the history shows that once Germany (+ Russia) becomes too powerful on the continent we have a war. And that's what is happening - Russia has that insane vision of ruling half of Europe (to Berlin) - What about some attempts in the past to build a gas pipeline from africa to south of Europe. All was banned based on the German premise that NordStreams should be good enough. Germany wanted to be an energy hub and make all other states the slaves to it with no way for economic growth. What the EU accession did with south of Europe? Just no economic prosperty.. People form Spain have to emigrate to have a decent job.. that's what EU membership does to satelite countries (regulations, regulations, regulations)... If the Germans want shut down nuclear plants hoping that solar panels in northern hemisphere is enough let them do it domestically.. but what they were doing was lowering standards of living of all Europeans by their green policies. Americans just introducing again more balance across European Countries (true with their great benefits). Homsky is wrong in many aspects of what is better for individual European countries...
I've been watching videos with Prof. Chomsky for many years and you're the first interviewer I've ever seen to get him to smile.
Deeply thankful for your pertinent answers to chatGPT performance, reliability and pertinence, Professor Chomsky.
The first interviewer I have seen who ask about his day and how he is doing personally, pretty nice.
Chomsky's brain is incredible. I have never ever seen him struggling to remember anything. At this age this is probably unprecedented.
Amazing interview. Congratulations for making interesting questions and allowing Chomsky to explore his thoughts on all directions he wanted.

His Take on vaccines has my eyebrows raised.. wow
Does Chomsky still believe people without a COVID vaccine should be banned from buying food in a supermarket?
I was thinking Noam was normal but he is not completely really... I think vaccinated are protected by being vaccinated and there should also be factories, companies, and restaurants that ban vaccinated to come and it should be only for unvaccinated people. He is spot on with other subjects but when it comes to pandemics and vaccines he is 100% delusional.
You are delusional. You make no sense.
Every time you listen to Noam, you learn something new.
Great interview, thanks for showing him proper respect and also pushing him on the rights of the unvaccinated. Very enjoyable to listen to!

Just brilliant and so interesting and inspiring, thank you!
Brilliant human being stay healthy thank you very much brilliant mind ❤
You call people that want to forcefully inject humanity with toxic concoctions prescribed by totally corrupt corporations a brilliant mind? If such troglodyte would be in power, humanity would be toast.
Agree, he's amazing in so many ways. Chomsky for President 2024 - he would celebrate his centenary in the White House! ;)
One very simple logical fact seems to have escaped the old man’s mind……if HE is vaccinated…..then HE is fully😂protected……No >?……his concern is unfounded.
I am not vaccinated and I did isolate my self. He is right about vaccines in general, but this time neither it was scientific nor benevolent. It was the result of capitalistic mindset, and corruption of education as he said that lasts at least 40 years, and in medicine as well. Medical studies are reserved for rich and corrupted and lack of trust is completely understandable. I have grown up in socialism and I understand communism and I am communist, but this time I am proud and still fully in believe that I saved my life and my sons life with isolation and I am proud to be not vaccinated and part of this communistic experiment of capitalist.

As a Brazilian I'm very happy you brought Paulo Freire as an education reference to this already great discussion. It is great to see how well recognized he is abroad, despite the persecution history he and his ideas have in Brazil. I also noticed that Prof. Chomsky has a plate on his shelf with a Paulo Freire's saying written on it in Portuguese "qualquer discriminação é imoral" (any (kind of) discrimination is immoral)... That's awesome!
Thanks for this interview and for making the content available - I was brought here by Chomsky interview but I'm definitely taking a look at your other videos. Cheers!
What persecution history? Freire's methods are the norm in every Education Theory course in Brazil, the man is considered the Educational Patron of the Country.
Really, any kind of discrimination is immoral? Even that one that serves to discern among the several possible interpretations of the word "discrimination"? It is the kind of idiotic nonsense that Freire's believers spread proudly but makes regular people (including Brazilians!) feel embarrassed.
@@dan5626 That's the reason we are at the bottom of the education rank in the world. Freire was just a communist militant that never taught anything beyond this.

How come such a brilliant observer of the world seems to have an unreserved trust in the pharma industry? How come he doesn't seem concerned with growing economic inequality? How come the ridicuous national debt is never mentioned? Finally, professor Chomsky's admiration for the so called World Economic Forum rather makes me think that man lost his touch.

He's such a giant, and always a great lesson to listen to his incredibly articulated thoughts and immense knowledge. But this time I enjoyed particularly the first few minutes were you asked him about his personal life and managed to open a window into his personality, his affections, his daily routine and drive to keep spreading his ideas at his venerable age. I'm in awe and so grateful to be able to access his teachings almost on a daily basis thanks to his productivity and generosity and the work of people like you and your channel. Thanks, please keep going!
Well, well, well, after being wrong about COVID and the vaccinations on almost every front, Mr. Chomsky looks to avoid talking much about it… . Once upon a time he was a smart man. Now he just loves HIS life to much to live it at full costs!
yip, the same fascist that would have the unvaccinated locked up. he is so out of touch now,

Profound thanks for this interview.
I appreciated Professor Chomsky's scholastic work in the past,
but I never recognized the value of his philosophy. Always questioned why he took on sensitive topics.
Now that I have raised kids (college students now) and have worked in the AI domain for half a decade (software engineering background).
I can finally connect with what Professor is saying WRT learning and education - difference between knowing versus understanding.
WRT ChatGPT - plagiarizing versus groking
Sadly most people won't get this.
Ironically ChatGPT does have significant use since we rarely produce novelty, mostly we mix encode already learned by me or others.
I’ve been Reading a book named ‘Philosophy of Physics’ by Lawrence Sklar. I don’t have a formal physics education (apart from High School). In concepts such as ‘simultaneity in Special Relativity’ among others, it has been really difficult to understand. Last weeks, I’ve been able to advance in this comprehension thanks to Chatgpt. I give to the robot a version of my understanding and based on this I have a very constructive ‘conversation’ with this robot. Yes, Chatgpt is really helpful to learn.
( I have an M.A. in Linguistics, English is not my mother language). Greetings from Medellín.
Ask it to translate the text into the style of Steven Strogatz. For whatever reason that one seems the best of all the popularizers I tried. I also tried Michio Kaku's style, which is interesting, but sometimes clarity is sacrificed for flowery metaphors.
Don't know why he keeps insisting on making us believe a concentration camp is a refugee camp?
Vaccinated, unvaccinated, there's no difference, they can both transfer the virus. The vaccinated are also free to stay home if they feel they're not safe in sociëty. They can also talk to a psychologist, I'm sure that can help.
I'm sick of the drama, get over it allready. Be greatfull for the possibility to vaccinate yourself and move on.
I know.... they can't even see what they've become and it's all media driven
Chomsky follows conventional thought on the covid vaccine. Makes sense cause he is an elder. And perhaps using some of his emotions to guide his thinking. I agree about vaccines in general however he doesn't discuss how corporations who influence governmental officials, and who he often has critiqued for the amount of power they weld didn't have an invested interest in this covid pandemic. Noam is still an inspiration and I can only conclude he took a hard stance on covid due to where he is at in life more than searching for wisdom and truth on the matter. One day, perhaps after Noam is gone, either physically or mentally, will we know the final analysis on the covid pandemic.
I am very surprised by how uncritical his vaccine comments are. I would have expected him to speak about how pharma-pushed manufacture of consent has functioned to frame mainstream debate over how effective the vaccines really are. The phrase “breakthrough infections” that spread through legacy media was, we now know given vaccine doesn’t stop infection or transmission (although it was initially promoted as such; vaccinate yourself to protect the vulnerable, etc), a euphemism for ‘vaccine failure.’ What I get from this episode is not that age necessarily clouds thinking. It’s that identification with the body, and the fear of losing it, makes true rational analysis and clarity impossible.
Yes that occurred to me too...he is in a high risk group so hes going to have a bias lets face it..
@@claudiafahey1353
Well, it can be true to some extent. But I heard many old people from this " high risk group " claiming that they didn't understand that young people and the rest of the population would be sacrified for the supposedly good of their age group. Again, it's a matter of wisdom and values.
Here in France, some old people ( older than 50 ) were the first ones warning that Single Thought was taking place. They knew this notion and could rapidly feel it in the air, better so than young people who could barely understand what Single Thought meant.
Can you add bookmarks/time stamps to the topics?
so we can flip through each topic noam is completely out of touch about
Mr Chomsky makes the assertion that there is a 100% concensus of agreement amongst the scientific community on the recent healthcare crisis. This is simply not the case - an objective truth not my opinion. Regardless of what anyone chooses to believe. If you are going to build an argument based on asumption, you can't expect it to hold up to much scrutiny. This is beyond ironic coming from the author of 'Media Control'.
Truth is the only authority.
you build an argument on the basis of evidence. Not your preconceived notion of how things are.
I love how Noam Chomsky dismisses this brain AI uplink (or whatever you want to call it). As he says, we know nothing of the brain. It is a bit arrogant to assume we can harness consciousness.

we're not even close to understanding the brain. Between the massive the galaxy sized neural networks, the enteric nervous system, the myriad relationship of the dozen of neurotransmitters, the power-efficiency compared to computers, and the individual pieces of the brain working together: not even close. But here, let's ask chatGPT if it's a brain:
I am a computer program designed to simulate human intelligence and language understanding. I do not have a physical brain or consciousness. I am based on a machine learning model that has been trained on vast amounts of text data, allowing me to understand and respond to natural language input.

Its like he really doesnt understand the scope of corporate corruption and control has on all facets of society not just political.. Its like he needs to go back and understand the implications of the many books he has written
maybe you're conflating his public and personal views, good point either way!
By this logic him advocating for people eating food would also be inconsistent with his beliefs. What absolute idiocy. Truly, imagined hypocrisy is the prerogative of the unenlightened
Well I guess everybody's entitled to an opinion and nobody's perfect... yes that is a pretty extreme view, but because I think it has to do with personal health people tend to be extreme on those kinds of things.. it's my understanding that this man is pretty intelligent and pretty straightforward...maybe, since hes high risk because of his age, this thing has just scared the shit out of him and hes blindly following the system that he would normally question.
I hate how people like Noam who are incredibly knowledgeable on a topic feels like this makes them ready to speak confidently on any topic. Like on neuroscience he is so incredibly out of his depth yet acts like he knows it all

My issue with Chat GPT is that doesn't cite it's sources and it can't be trusted to give reliably *true* information, just reliably *common* information.
It doesn't have sources. It doesn't give factual information. It simply predicts which texts is likely to come next. The answers it gives cannot be trusted because they are just statistically generated strings of tokens. That is what makes it so amazing and what makes it untrustworthy at the same time.

I’ve got many friends who were vaccinated and boosted that have not only been infected, but passed the virus to others. Specifically, an MD that not only was vaccinated, but boosted at every opportunity. He and his wife have been down with the COVID 19 virus for the better part of 2 weeks. His wife actually had a relapse.
Had another seemingly healthy 50 year old friend that had a stoke in July of 2022 then dropped dead a week ago while making breakfast for his kids. Fully vaccinated and boosted.
What utter stupidity. I could go on…
I share reservations that mrna Covid vaccines are as safe and effective as promoted by public health officials. When I see comments like yours and others, it gives me hope that debate is growing on this issue, and that one day it will be sincerely engaged with by mainstream channels. The automatic assumption that ‘if it’s a vaccine, it must be good,’ is foolish and dangerous. Critical analysis of the particular vaccine product must be done, and evidence provided. That taking the vaccine was promoted as a ‘moral duty’ to stop from transmitting to the vulnerable - when the reality is this product, unlike vaccines against other diseases, does not stop transmission or infection - makes one question whether regulatory agencies were negligent in their due diligence regarding this product.
@@justindifeliciantonio5140 you are definitely right in questioning FDA integrity considering Pharma industry provide 75% of the FDA budget to their drug division. (From NY times article), some scientist at NIH were collaborating with Moderna on c19 vaccine, they became millionaires. Pretty scary. Robert Kennedy Jr does a lot of good stuff covering this, shame Chomsky doubled down on his view, he loses a lot of credibility. Mass vaccination was a scam.
I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt due to his age and that hes in a high risk group hes probably scared shitless... he may be super intelligent and wise but at heart he's human and may have some neurosis.... The one thing I have noticed about the past few years is that people have become incredibly neurotic
@@claudiafahey1353 Wrong, it's called intellectual arrogance (Hence why all so called academics fell for it) whilst us commoners seen through it. It was very fascinating to watch so many so called smart people be duped so blatantly. I'll never ever trust a 'professional' again.

I had similar experiences with people around me. I agree with you and this so-called crisis has showed that resistance to totalitarism comes from somewhere else than formal intelligence.
Great interview, thank you.
The man! Right on Mr. Chomsky, right on ✌🏻
Thank u to the channel for providing this content.
Thijmen does a nice job of just listening, at first I wasn't keen on his sounding like a news reporter, but I realise this may be for the benefit of Mr Chomsky. I wanted a bit more follow up questions at times, but I understand it was a tight one hour to fit a lot in, and it was a good watch. Thanks.
This is a good video, I will forever be indebted to you Gardner 😇you’ve changed my whole life I’ll continue to preach about your name for the world to hear you’ve saved me from a huge financial debt with just little investment in money market, thanks so much Mrs Rose Gardner
As a high school teacher, I got introduced to Ms, Gardner during the pandemic year, I cried about challenges I was facing here in Ireland, during my time working with her, I was able generate returns on my investment.
It was my first time, so I was skeptical so I tried out with just a thousand bucks, to my surprise in just a week I got 3 times my initial deposit, truth be told she's the most reliable!

@ROSEGARDNERBIS
ChatGPT recently taught me about composting systems and incorporating chickens. I was able to learn efficiently, put together references, emails, reports and educational signs to guide community members and much more. What I achieved in 1 day would have taken me a week.
I feel with chatGPT I can learn in ways that suit me and felt less intimidated by mountains of information to sort through. While there is challenges for the educational system overall it's a benefit for ongoing education. The one where professors, teachers and the like become obsolete and your certificates are as good as toilet paper.
ChatGPT from "open"-Ai corporation (tje name is hypocrisy or irony by itself) are officially geobanned to access it such countries like China, Russia with Ukraine, Syria and Venezuela (where no computers from huge poverty). By thousands academia paper on topic of geobanning, it's always political. Politics in science usually made worse to humanity, latest example is deny of sharing vaccine formula by political reasons.
you are an exception, not everyone will use "GPT" for "better learning"... MOSTTTTTTTTT will use it for shortcutting.
@@doublesushi5990 The tool can't be responsible for how people use it - unless people use it for the purpose it was built - like guns and rat poison - the intent is to kill. ChatGPT and the technology behind can utterly transform the way people Learn -- The fact the it is First transforming the way people Cheat, says a lot about the kind of people we are forming, and the lousy ways we expect them to show proficiency.
This seems so obvious. It's a bigger paradigm shift than the printing press. Every child will grow up with 24 hour tutor and counselor at their side. The views Chomsky expresses here regarding ChatGPT being useless for education are completely new and absolutely baffling to me. Dare I say shocking and objectively absurd.
For a world famous intellectual to look at the first generation of the tech that will very possibly cure cancer and usher in a utopian age (or wipe us out), and shrug? Jeez. Um, okay? I guess!? Good to know that it is possible for someone that smart to have such a daft response to obvious history unfolding right in front of them...
@@doublesushi5990 I'm learning french with chat gpt. This time Noam is totally wrong.
wearing a mask does not mean freed from infection.
Boosting your immune system and the general health of the population should be the priority.
Surely, around elderly people, if their immunity is impaired, one could consider taking precautions that are suitable.
But I dont understand how a lad that lives to be 94 years and probably did not wear a face mask his entire life now finds it a rational decision of conduct.
Maybe I have missed his point entirely, though.
You definitely missed the point
The most coherent and persuasive part of Chomsky's essay on ChatGPT was the quote from ChatGPT itself, about half of the essay, where finally a clear explanation was given. On the morality issue, at least ChatGPT didn't advocate putting unvaccinated working class into concentration camps. The final stage of a mediocre intellectual is sad.
You're right, Mr.Chomsky, GPT or statistical based neural networks have nothing to do in education because students need rules. GPT may fetch rules available in libraries (hitec plagiarism) but it can't explain what it is doing when generating a text.
Actually, 100% of scientific papers say that having the COVID jabs has no effect on transmission.. if you’ve been jabbed, you’ll still transmit as much as those who are not. It’s not a belief, it’s a scientific fact that has been published repeatedly since mid-2021.
Respect his opinions on everything else though. Loved his ones on education.
Transmission and Infectious SARS-CoV-2 Shedding Kinetics in Vaccinated and Unvaccinated Individuals
Jiwon Jung, MD1,2; Ji Yeun Kim, PhD1; Heedo Park, MS3; et al
You absolute buffoon. Stop getting your science news from facebook.
@@Alaplaya9 Loved the absolute buffoon 😂tag I can’t make myself call these pharmaceutical products “vaccines” because it feels like an insult to science and an insult to all the great vaccines that have protected generations of us over the past centuries. So I’ll call these ones “jabs”.
But, coming to the point. Just few sources, since a discussion on the jabs is pointless (except in terms of the growing evidence of its harms AND people being asked to take boosters) and a discussion on its effectiveness on transmission is even more so; especially when large portions of the population have acquired natural immunity and the variants have gotten much milder and the healthcare system has created effective treatment protocols. Keeping these sources from late 2021 and early 2022, since that’s when any reduction in transmission was needed the most due to the raging Delta variants. But studies showed no such benefit. By mid and later 2022, large portions of the population already got natural immunity and the variants got milder as well, so the question of reducing transmission mattered less.
Public Health England’s Technical briefing 20:
Page 3 (Summary), bullet point 4, with further details on page 35.
“PCR cycle threshold (Ct) values from routinely undertaken tests in England show that Ct values (and by inference viral load) are similar between individuals who are unvaccinated and vaccinated. “
assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1009243/Technical_Briefing_20.pdf
Whether that means transmission would be same, I’m not sure of, but maybe the below paper in The Lancet answers the aspect better.
www.thelancet.com/journals/laninf/article/PIIS1473-3099(21)00648-4/fulltext
“Nonetheless, fully vaccinated individuals with breakthrough infections have peak viral load similar to unvaccinated cases and can efficiently transmit infection in household settings, including to fully vaccinated contacts.”
“However, this study unfortunately also highlights that the vaccine effect on reducing transmission is minimal in the context of delta variant circulation.”
www.thelancet.com/pdfs/journals/laninf/PIIS1473-3099(21)00690-3.pdf
Just a few of the papers out there. Either way, anyone who has lived in the real world over the past three years has seen jabbed folk get infected and transmit it to others around them so easily that you’d wonder whether it really made any difference at all (I’m a living example of it - twice and both times from jabbed folk, who themselves got it from other jabbed folk!). Many large companies across the world began to change their “vaccine” mandates for the same reason, making the jabs a matter of choice, since they play almost no role in transmission; but employees were encourage to get jabbed for any potential it had to protect the individual themselves. The jabs may, to some degree, protect a few age-groups and people with co-morbidities against severe disease, but then there is the worrying growing evidence that shows that the “rare” side-effects and deaths caused by the jabs may not be so rare, especially among healthy young adults; its the data collection regarding this that has been pathetic. Let’s hope the terrifying statistics of unexplained excess deaths across countries unrelated to COVID infection has nothing to do with the jabs.
You forget you’re living in times and in a situation where there are much larger forces at work that science is subjugated by.
Oh and I’ve barely logged into Facebook in years. Never knew people got “facts” from there, thanks for letting me know. I'm old school when it comes to facts.
Cheers,
Absolute buffoon.
Really appreciate your questions/observations in the last segment, thank you. Is Professor Chomsky unaware of gov't-Big Tech collusion re: censorship? Does he not read BMJ? Has he forgotten his excellent work from the 90s? Of course 100% of experts seemingly agree when dissent is silenced and the silencing is censored. It's concerning, to say the least.
Noam Chomsky is no doubt a brilliant mind, why I find it so strange that he disregards the known fact that Covid vaccines do not stop transmission - this is not an opinion. The medical authorities of Denmark, Sweden, Florida and now UK have back tracked significantly on who they recommend these shots to, there is definitely not a 100% consensus around this. Thank you for bringing this up again with him and so tactfully and respectfully.
It's because you don't understand the hidden grammar here. Chomsky is brilliant at deceiving, distorting and distracting, and manipulating, just like any Jew ever. To Jews like him, hate is a virtue, and that really says it all.
he has many blind spots. he said the US should stay in syria to defend the kurds which is just the usual excuse of an empire creating chaos to take advantage of it. he knows that. he comes around every 4 years to tell us to vote the lesser evil, this time he said if we don't our grandchildren will be underwater. meaning the biden is substantially different enough to avert environmental apocalypse. again, he knows better. he also called activists who were trying to push for medicare for all during the pandemic "children who want their candy"
and yea the comments on the unvaxed are really unforgivable unless he owns up and apologizes. he basically said they should get excommunicated and starve, where they find food is there problem. it was based on no science just the for profit scaremoring propaganda. now even bill gates admits they don't prevent transmission and we have pfizer on the record saying they didn't even test if it prevented transmission before making it available at the same time the CEO was tweeting how it's 100% effective in preventing transmission. total for profit scam by an industry with zero government oversight. corporations controlling public policy, it's straight up fascism.
Check any vaccine. They do not stop transmission either. They can reduce your chances though.
They just greatly reduce the chance of you dying.
And how you can tell that they work too is that Bill Gates stopped countries from giving them to the global south because he wouldn't make a profit on it...
you can transmit mental illness
Chomsky reached the limits of his ability to perceive reality more than a decade ago... easily more.
He's been a raging fool for almost twenty years now.
Professor Chomski gave another engaging interview.
Listeing on the background, Only One point where I think he is not fully informed and as such is making a mistake based on limited information, is whether the vaccines are safe.
Not pro or against, just if the vaccines are PRIMARILY safe and secondary EFFICIENT.
Safe being a million times more importan than efficient. Which are already not what they were stating them to be.
Dr John Campbell should have him on and have an interesting exchange.
It is always fascinating to listen to men with such calibre as Prof. Chomsky but we should always remember that noone is infallible. And science is all about verifying and evaluating all the data, not being fantatics, not following narratives, or being corrupted by money, threats or power but being in a constant pursuit of the truth.
Once again, Thank you both for the interview. Men who think deeply are always important to conversations.
you do know that chomsky spent his career teaching at MIT (about which he himself said "you may as well call it the Military Institute of Technology")? he has been hosted by universities all over the world and been broadcast planet-wide "speaking truth to power". the New York Times calls him "the most important intellectual alive"... i don't think he's ill informed. i think he's a liar.
Sad to say he's not just out of touch, his stance on the unvaccinated contradicts his formerly professed values. He has let us down.
Chat gpt can be used as a tool, as a teachers assistant..it can generate text to work with and teaching activities, it can create nuanced analyses of texts using different methods, to demonstrate them for students. It can simplify abstract and difficult concepts for students who are having trouble understanding. It can explain spelling and grammar with multiple examples. It is a great friend to a curious mind. It can give you ideas and directions. Underestimate it's value at your own risk.
Like anything, it can be misused
Learn other languages is always usefull, despite ChatGPT. It will have many advantages. some things you can't translate. Bilingualism could delay Alzeimer apparently as well.
Always will be! We have to be aware that every promise that came out of the tech sector has either been a grift or outright dystopic. Most of it is just utter nonsense sold as revolutionary convenience. Anyone who ever studied a language out of some degree of passion will know the joy associated with it is nothing to be skipped.
Really great. Thanks for this!
Happily un vaccinated.
It's always a good idea to prepare your questions before an interview.
Good thing Prof. Chomsky rose the level a few notches.
Chomsky disregards basic human rights. What a genius! Some real mental gymnastics on display there.
He's got my atmeration from the start off listening too him 😊😊👍👍
I am a medical interpreter in 5 languages, never thought I'd see the day when the eminent Chomsky would tell us to "Cower in fear"
Long life for professor Noam Chomsky...👍🇲🇽💪
A key thing to understand about ChatGPT is that it *cannot demonstrate understanding* simply because it has no understanding to demonstrate. Its widespread use and 'success' in educational settings is demonstrating more than just how uninteresting these settings are to students, more crucially it is demonstrating that the methods and means we use to measure attainment in no real way actually measures the one thing such settings are *meant* to impart; namely, understanding.
ChatGPT is not the problem. The way we are teaching -- and perhaps even more crucially the ways in which we are *testing* -- this is where the problems lie.
It doesn't get the meaning, the semantics, the human brain has a fantastic capacity allowing it to 'choose' the right meaning of a word from a context even if this context isn't explicit, it also makes assumptions, a great example of this is the word jaguar if you look at a snippet of an interview done at the mit and you're a computer scientist you will assume they're talking about the programming language, if you're a biologist you will assume it's about the animal, we are far from building an AI that can embed such context in it's model.
Perhaps a more engaging, participating in the moment in classes, to demonstrate, will be the way to go
In a school district (WA), when staff is COVID positive the individual is mandated to stay home for five days despite effect on students’ learning. More over, the individual loses pay when no sick days are available…just one of the effects??
I thought talk of 'the unvaccinated' had been put to bed now. Surprised to hear it used like this, as it was in 2021 and even up to last year here in 2023. So much has changed and new knowledge emerged since then.
I think we can cut him some slack considering his age. Most don't believe the vaccine lies any more.
He obviously hasn't kept up to date with how well those "vaccines" are working
So did I. I have been a long time fan of Chomsky, he has contributed so much to my worldview but i have to say i am forced to review so much of it after his unvaccinated comments. He still hasn't looked into it in any detail, somehow believing all the bluster of the pharma companies at the expense of everyone else! His ignorance (something which i thought i'd never say if the man) is breathtaking.
People, myself included, fall very easily into the trap of thinking that because a person knows a great deal about one subject, that their pronouncements on any subject are as detailed, reliable and accurate. This is a trap. An example of our tendency to fall under the sway of preachers, "prophets" and politicians.
We project our own desires and expectations onto our heroes, and then judge them when they fail to live up to them.
He seems to be getting all his information from the very same sources that he has always claimed were deceiving people on international affairs! Very sad.
This video perfectly illustrates how even the greatest thinkers alive can be so wrong about so many things. I admire the man and his life's work, but at the end of the day he is after all every bit the flawed human being that we all are, with our own thought distortions and biases driving us. Love to hear him talk, and I am happy to suffer through the cringey moments, but I'm not ready to accept everything he says as established truth or even science. I should like to think that he would appreciate my perspective and respect it, as I respect him.
As a former elementary teacher, I definitely resonate with this! It's comforting to hear someone iterate so succinctly the problems in the US education system. Couldn't agree more.
Not only in America. I learned in Europe that somewhere between the 9th and 11th year of age children are taught to loose all interest in new topics. If you don't come up with a game or something that makes them move around or they can build together themselves, you waste your time. If you want them to sit at their table and lisen to frontal teaching the smartphone/tabet under the table will always be more interesting.
And they don't learn how to use their body and not even their fingers, something the basics need to be learned of before they are ten. Just today came up that 20.000 children in this country can't even swim. Especially city-children are extremely clumsy, not only in body. Most can't even draw, because they have no command over their fingers if not 2-dimensional wiping. At eleven they produce 'art' that priorily was ascribed to pre-school level, being unable to hold pencils pens and brushes. That's an educational disaster.
I saw it happen in the last 30 years: handicrafts were skipped for computer-education. And now there is nobody to fix solar-pannels to the roof. Because most young city-people can't bodily climb a roof and don't understand three dimensional construction. Construction workers come mainly from the country-side from the children-stock that still climbs trees, out of school, but there aren't that many people living there, because schools that teach 'useful crafts' and de/constructed and fixed things even in primary, were closed because of lack of local children.
It already started back in the seventies: I moved to the city because of allegedly better schools. We had unisex-handicrafts in primary: girls and boys did sewing, button-fixing AND building with saws, hammers and nails, but being city kids we built bookstops that were precrafted and only needed five nails, because we might have hit out fingers, and our lwyer-parents might have protested. - The 11 year olds neighbour-kids in the village cut not only willow-pipes with sharp knives but also built bird-nesting boxes, that needed a lot more planning and thinking ahead. Now handicrafts have been dropped for the sake of computer-use. We produce technologically dependant helpless individuals that call for a spacialists that won't come.
Chomsky isn't worth the time to listen to.
Not everyone is destined for Liberal Arts in University. Engineers and scientists have little use for Shakespeare etc. and should not have those subjects shoved down their throats.
Similarly, there is a vital need for engineers, programmers and Techs to repair the next generation of robots. Similar things can be said for all the trades.
Without a rigorous testing system, there is no way of ensuring standards are met. This, to a large part does not affect elementary school instruction but is Vital in higher grades, tech schools and the Sciences. Regards
@@iancormie9916 Not sure what you're defending. I am a software engineer now.
@@politicalfoolishness7491 then why are you here? Aren't there other places to be?
Teaching about slavery and colonialism is teaching history. Facts. You can understand discrimination through statistics. Critical theories, seeing all education through an ideological lens, is something totally different.
I have many of his books and often refer to his teachings, but his views on the vaccines & the medical journals (100% of medical journals he says), yet so many journals have since published rebuffs of the claims that the vaccines are safe & effective. The covid-19 narrative has unravelled and I think that Chomsky should have a rethink.
Best part is that about the school system! A sharp analysis of what went wrong (and is still going wrong) in our western society!
I deeply respect Dr Chomsky for his incredible contribution to language studies, computing science, and many other subjects; however, he is not a computing scientist and, in particular, not an AI expert. His opinions about what ChatGPT is and how it works are not grounded in research and his predictions about what it can and cannot do are uninformed.
To compare GPT3 to plagiarism is to completely misrepresent what it does and how it works. You might as well call every thought written down by any human as plagiarism. LLMs (like GPT3) are trained to think like people. This thinking process is an emergent property and not something specifically coded. No one really knows why it is able to perform the amazing things it does, but empirically we know that it works. It is also knowledgeable and capable in ways that vastly exceed human capabilities. What it generates as output comes from a thinking process and not a duplication of text. The implications of course are profound.
The next version of GPT will be GPT4 which will be multi-modal. It will incorporate text and images (and possibly sound) into a single model and translate between them, between languages, between cultures and even between knowledge domains. The ability of ChatGPT to replace many jobs is a real possibility within the next few years. I have been using it in my work and find it profoundly intelligent and useful in ways that no human could compete. Education will need to adapt. Educational institutions that do not, will become irrelevant.
amazing. How you say that it is 'emergent' and 'vastly more intelligent'. anyone who has used it for a little while recognizes its many flaws. It is not 'intelligent'. It can produce nonsense and doesn't know it. At the end of every text it writes a disclaimer to that effect. Perhaps you're interests are vested a bit too closely for you to see this clearly?
@@FredPlanatia ChatGPT relies on prompts. Good prompting gets good results. Bad prompting gets bad results. If you don't know how to fly a plane, it hardly makes sense to claim that it's flawed because it crashes sometimes when you fly. ChatGPT does have limits, but researchers have only scratched the surface about what it is capable of and how to elicit those capabilities. There is a new field of research called "Prompt Engineering" which has proven to work well at improving results.
As an example, I used ChatGPT yesterday to help my son with his accounting homework. ChatGPT was able to clearly explain accounting principles I did not fully understand. The dialoging mechanism of ChatGPT was excellent for digging down into the details of complex ideas. ChatGPT was remarkably helpful in this instance. As another example, I used ChatGPT to explain the workings of a complex program I was working on. Its understanding of the code and the libraries that were used was astounding and very useful.
@@bmatichuk how do you know it was explaining them clearly if you did not understand the principles? Blindly relying on this as a teaching aide seems risky to me. its early days for this tech and anytime you can't check its answers against your own or someone else's expert knowledge; you're on thin ice. And really, implying that i don't know 'how to drive it'. ridiculous. How do you know you 'drove it well' if you can't check its results. it seems many are all too eager to believe something is working miracles. Eventually, we'll lose all our ability to think critically and just 'let the AI' decide because 'its so smart'. I dred the consequences of that.
@@FredPlanatia
if something is explained clearly you can test if it is true extremely fast. the important thing is to understand as fast as possible something, and that is where chatgpt shines, with right prompting.
I also believe this time the professor doesn't understand what he's talking about.
ChatGPT can be a great help for learning and understanding new concepts quickly. With the right prompting, it can explain things clearly and help you test if it is true.
As a senior programmer (25+), I have found it to be like having a super-junior assistant that can help me with coding tasks. While it can make mistakes, this can be optimized by providing clear directions and prompt engineering. I have found that my productivity has increased significantly (10x +) since using ChatGPT, and I highly recommend it as a teaching aide.
proof 2:
This answer above was made with chatgpt as a test. it took me 20seconds to express the key points and get this text. so, writing it, reading to check if it says what i wanted and pasteing here - took me like 40s... a lot less time than it would have taken before, to organize ideas and translate.
so is chatgpt still useless?
I'd agree it isn't plagiarism but this evades the point of it being a tool to avoid scholarship. And come on, it is nothing more than natural language statistical modeling of large data sets. However useful it is, there is no more intelligent awareness to it than Eliza had.
Thanks for asking the tough questions about the vaccine. Great interview and I enjoy Chomsky's intellect, although i disagree on some things.
You're lying. He softballed him and still couldn't handle it.
He hasn't thought very critically about climate disinformation.
There is no privilege in being unvaccinated whatsoever and there is no evidence of any epidemiological benefit for excluding unvaccinated people from society. His disregard for the unvaccinated is based on sentiment and irrational bias, which is really disheartening. An intellectual of his caliber should know better.
I think Noam knows where he can shove his vaccine.
How much more funding can you have. He's wrong about the vaccine, unfortunately.
Very unique interview! Much different topic from what I'm used to hearing from Chomsky. I can't believe you have so few subscribers.

@@yoooyoyooo you have to missunderstand so much more than just the research to have that opinion.
@@gobdovan there is also this argument that I find quite convincing. It's that if you get vaccinated you have much less chance to get infected and therefore you have less chance to spread it. Not sure how true that is, but it does make sense.

China's control grid is good? The jab is good?
People are free to do what they like as long as it doesn’t infringe on other people.
Missed the part "I am Sponsored by Pfizer".
Nice. Thanx
I used to find his talks interesting as he could prattle on in depth on destructive US foreign policies in a historic perspective. However when these things are going on in front of his face, like the case of Syria he seems totally blind to it. I am of the opinion he is some kind of left gatekeeper, his Covid remarks only confirmed my suspicions.
Its nice to know his opinion of ChatGpt, just after me learning about a few meaningful concepts, topics related to my stream of work and feeling really happy and useful of it as a tool.
Love that Prof. Chomsky is giving his blunt (and truthful) assessment of ChatGPT and Neuralink.
Well he's gonna die soon I doubt he cares anymore 🤣
I'm still geeking out that after all these years the thing that really unites me conceptually with Dr. Chomsky is our shared appreciation of Dewey's work. Long live ye oh Chomskyites; long live ye Deweyites!
Super irony that king of linguistics dare not speak the word "dog" lest his hounds demand a walk.
Shout out to the dogs for keeping Mr. Chomsky healthy.
what does Chomsky talk about effective boosters and the unvaxed if the vax would work there would be no need to isolate the unvaxed if it is not effective there is no need to take the shot, where is the logic
I hear a lot of "the US will throw you out of the international finance system, out of New York, Wall Street etc." I can't help but think of Hitler and his theories about this world of international finance affairs...
ChatGPT is an excellent learning tool, I think professor Chomsky hasn't used it. It understands at least 5 languages (that I could check) with almost immaculate accuracy, responds in according to what you ask, keeps track of the whole conversation and connects dots, it can be an excellent reference material that alows you to quickly solve problems that would otherwise take countless more hours.
Exactly. I love Chomsky, but he should not talk about things he doesn't know.
it understands 5 languages lolll
