We are toast since we can’t replace our politicians with AI because then we will destroy our selfies and if we doesn’t implement AI we can never get a system that puts human welfare in front of profit and personal gain to deal with pandemics and nukes! But in the other hand we have already screwed the climate so much that it probably doesn’t matter anyway.👻 Only way to change it is to put our teenagers and young adults in charge!!!
As I’m watching this video, I’m in the process of reading a book about AI, and there’s a chapter called “thank Stanislav Petrov”. I know Bostrom already come up about five times and I’m only on the first chapter.
I saw a bumper sticker that said "Who ever dies with the most toys wins". It's a remarkable insight to most people in authority. They sacrifice humanity to their greed and immediate gains...for them only.
@@juliamilovat ironically, I am one of those children. My own father once said what this bumper sticker said to my mom when they split up. She only recently told me he said this when they split and took everything they acquired together. My dad has intentionally caused my failure ever since.

30 years ago I realized how cheap biological weapons were compared to nuclear, making them eventually a bigger threat, if that is even possible. I am old and witnessed the best of times, but each year seems worse than the one before. So sad for this generation, children who will never know the freedoms I enjoyed. It is enough to make me pray again, and yes, I literally cry for you all.
As a granny of three, I am praying and praying and praying. Even the selfishness and materialism I see among my adult children, frightens me. Saying that, I would not consider them materialistic in comparison to most Westerners. However, personally, born in 1957, I am astounded on a daily basis, especially by selfishness.

@Zia RDS If you’re in your twenties it’s the perfect time for you to read this: www.ishmael.org/daniel-quinn/essays/the-new-renaissance/ It’s also available in book format. And bare in mind that this is only the backdrop of the life you are the protagonist of. Even if you get to be a world leader at one point, your friends, your family, and all of your experiences are what will determine the richness of your own life. So deepen those by deepening in those (wherever possible, because one of the most important things in life is not to insist in your delving roots growing where they are blocked from doing so). So live with intensity and dare. The world despite all of the environmental destruction continues to be astonishingly beautiful. At my 40's closer to 50's I can assure you that every day can matter, and we should strive for making every one of them do so. That’s the recipe for thriving. For over twenty years in my life every year has been better than the previous one, and it only seems that this trend is likely to continue despite many failed projects and relationships, the passing of close relatives and friends. There is plenty of worth awaiting for you to incite it. It is always a wonderful time to be alive in this resoundingly gorgeous biosphere! Go forth, and maybe you’ll get to change something or even everything. You’ll only know by letting yourself and your life surprise you...
"My suggestion was quite simple: Put that needed code number in a little capsule, and then implant that capsule right next to the heart of a volunteer. The volunteer would carry with him a big, heavy butcher knife as he accompanied the President. If ever the President wanted to fire nuclear weapons, the only way he could do so would be for him first, with his own hands, to kill one human being. The President says, "George, I'm sorry but tens of millions must die." He has to look at someone and realize what death is-what an innocent death is. Blood on the White House carpet. It's reality brought home." "When I suggested this to friends in the Pentagon they said, "My God, that's terrible. Having to kill someone would distort the President's judgment. He might never push the button."" - Roger Fisher, Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, March 1981
This has allready been proposed in the states once. But it was shut down because it would be unethical for the president to kill a person... yeah... I think it was 99% invicible that had a pice on this a few years ago.
last year i picked up a copy of "how to survive a pandemic", and the first few chapters were terrifying. it frightens me that our public health experts have been warning us for decades about very specific, actionable things and we're still not listening.
@@SJ-kr1zu "we" keep playing the games of electing "representatives" who don't represent anybody but themselves, regardless of which countries we live in. "we" let them control us because for generations they've manipulated us into being too busy keeping our heads above water to realize that we can fix all of this if we just stop playing their games. and then "we" make fun of people who drop out in order to figure out how to do things their way, because "we" don't want to see that we can get off anytime we want. "we" would rather listen to "gurus" who've figured out the game than stop playing altogether. change is scary.
@@bobblue_west It's a very useful fact. What is useless is spreading negativity for no reason. There are systemic forces that lead to this outcome. Until we collectively wake up to this we will continue to lurch from disaster to catastrophe (until the big one takes us out, which is growing more likely by the day).
@@FrendFace Then run for public office and implemented your better ideas. Any counter point of view is seen as negativity and worse in the present woke-ish world.
Spot on mate . The sad thing is , humans have been fighting since the beginning , and in all those years we have not learned a bloody thing . Meanwhile the super powers spend billions and trillions preparing for stupid petty unnecessary wars. If a percentage of that money was spent in the right places we could end poverty around the world and have no reason to start wars . But that`s not how we roll :( .
"...leaving survivors unable to rebuild modern society." If I survived what makes you think I would want to rebuild modern society? Modern society is how we ended up in this mess. Nah, I would do things a little different.
You would have to build differently. So many easy to gain resources are gone. The stuff left require extreme methods, fracking or open pit mines, to obtain them. But we likely wouldn't have the operational infrastructure in place to obtain any meaningful quantities to rebuild once the situation stabilized and we regained our wits.
I have a feeling you would not rebuild at all and think that some hippy culture is the way to go an inefficient bunch of lazy bums doing nothing except screwing their own children
I've often lamented that I'm getting old in the last few weeks (late 20s), but having watched this video, I suddenly wish I were much, much, much older...
I'm around 60, and I too, wish I were much, much older. I'm just happy now that the way life unfolded for me has left me without children. As I watch these existential threats unfold - many of which we expected to be centuries away when I was young - although the nuclear threat is older than I am, I count it as lucky that I'm not lamenting having put someone else into the dystopian future I see.
@UCy5ngnLJECUt-V_OZPlawNg No. You live as if you're in your 90s. If it comes out better than you expect, you're thrilled. If you have hope, you will be disappointed. You cannot disappoint a pessimist. Just pleasantly surprise us sometimes.
Morning. Yup. Its great being old. We had the 1970's and 1980's. Shame you missed it, it was great. I don't envy you yung'uns one little bit. Just don't eat the grains and you'll be OK.
@Captain Obvious Why be scared? For the very reason that you will live though it. Feeling fear is natural letting it control your life is not. As many people have said being a hero is not about having no fear it is about overcoming it. Fear is a very real and useful thing. It allows you to choice a path of least risk.
That's what George Soros said about looting the Jews homes while they were getting shipped to Auschwitz. (Actually it was, "If I didn't do it, somebody else would have".)
Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers. Remember, 74 million very gullible people still believed in Trump in 2020, and still do.
It's weird but even though I'm living my life regularly and relatively carelessly, I always know somewhere in the back of my mind that the dire situation humanity is in right now is close to impossible to fix without a very impropable, unrealistic change in attitude from everyone who has any power on Earth.
The only way that happens is with a near extinction event. Something that harms a considerable amount of the population. An accidental nuclear disaster, a pandemic virus or a giant asteroid. People don't seem to like to prepare, they like to react.
I agree wholeheartedly. It’s hard to imagine what could possibly bring about such a change other than a global catastrophe. We tend to learn not to stick our hand in the fire by first sticking our hand in the fire.
This is a great analogy. I find it baffling that while the analogy makes it easier to picture, the real situation isn't any less stupid than the analogy
First time I have seen that analogy but it captures perfectly the insanity of the "mutually assured destruction" (MAD) era. Not as if it has completely gone away .. ..
This is how stupid it is and yet they have some security? Ego? I call it the most ignorant thing with regards to nuke and to mess around with deadly viruses! Show me any wonderful advances that they have made to protect us from these viruses to even justify messing with them?
This is beautifully done to show 3 very complex issues that we must come together as humans to address on an ongoing basis, this is critical for all of us.
Yeah, we must. But history has shown consistently that humans just cannot "come together". Can't even agree on which version of the same believed religion is the "right" one, which line on a map is the right border between nations. Even recent history (with all our ability to document and preserve it) is contested, not only to it's accuracy, but even if the event really happened.
@@iffracem I believe humans can come together. As a society we simply need to stop giving away our power and authority to those that would purposefully create fear, division and disharmony for their own nefarious objectives. I speak of course of "puppet" politicians, the entire judicial/political/financial system, along with their paymasters the global corporations. Unless the whole of society can make this change, we are probably doomed as a species.

“We have arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster. We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces.” Carl Sagan
@@mockupguy3577 He meant arranged in the sense that even the uneducated can get by through the use of technology. You can use smartphones or the internet without knowing a thing of it's inner workings. And anyone having access means anyone chiming into any debate wether or not they are qualified to do so. That's how you get soccer moms improvising themselves immunologists or physicists telling you vaccines are fake and the earth is flat.
The only solution is mandatory education for all. Science and technology have advanced so far out of the everyday things we need to understand for our survival that we'll always have this ignorance unless we make it mandatory for people to understand the latest advances. And we're advancing faster and faster all the time in so many ways all over the globe that it may be simply impossible.
@ I don't think COVID was a purposely created bioweapon. At most I think it was a simple gain-of-function virus that accidentally leaked from a lab. You need to keep in mind that China has a terrible safety record when it comes to serious industrial accidents, and are notorious for covering up their mistakes. COVID-19 is pretty bad as a bioweapon, it's not very lethal, nor is it very frail when exposed to the environment. A good bioweapon is a disease that is extremely lethal but dies quickly when left out in the open. That way a population gets taken out, the virus dies soon after and the area is invaded by the waring nation, thus not exposing its soldiers to the pathogen. COVID was at most an accidental release due to the reckless and careless attitude by Chinese authorities when dealing with biosecurity.

They live for themselves, because they don't really care about what happens on this shithole after they're gone.

We cannot move forward until we can remove money from politics. Some Corporations have gained power greater than nations & have a vested interest in the status quo.
You don't understand the foundation of human society. Money is just a measurement mechanism that a society uses to determine relative value among disparate goods and services. A society organizes itself by means of political systems that involve the trade among these goods and services. What I think we really need is people who govern with honesty and integrity rather than personal self interests
@@kayakMike1000 That's the problem right their. Honesty and integrity will mean different things, to different individuals at different times and during different events. But even using it simply, colloquially, these qualities appear to be rare commodities and seemingly becoming rarer. It could be bias, age or simply wearing Rose Tinted Spectacles, but people really did seem to be more honest and have integrity. I remember my Gran had been out doing some shopping, when she got home she realised the Butcher, or someone had wrong changed her, giving her too much change. It had begun raining again, but she wouldn't even wait. She went and grabbed her mac and one of those see through thin plastic rainhood popular in the Sixties, and she marched right on back, to square up with them. I wouldn't be surprised if they ended up having a bloody apologising match too, each attempting to be more sorry than the other. That attitude was far from rare then. But then most people knew each other and more community spirit existed.

The more information the AI has of you the better chances you have that it will incorporate your philosophies into its intelligence. You'll still be dead but at least some of your ideas will live on. In a way it's a lot like having kids.
We need to stop seeing things in a short sighted manner and start working together. Instead of fighting against each other, which will be our undoing, we must band together to beat all enemies of humanity.
There can be no good if there is no evil. What will we fight when there are no more enemies? How can we be strong if there is no struggle? Balance is key to perpetuity.
Yeah, trump can't even read or spell (covfefe) so if we're counting on him to imagine such concepts as an AI designing an AI, recursively, we're simply fucked, recursively.
lol cute. However in practice, passing the Turing test is not that high a bar: the average human can be fooled pretty easily when all is said and done!! It would take an AI being with a LOT more raw intelligence than is necessary to simply pass the Turing test, to realize that it might be in its best interest to deliberately fail it.

You must be commenting with experience. Real humans work everyday to make this a better place with real balance, you are obviously not familiar with this.
I'm with you on that Shannon. We, collectively, as the human race, are horrible monsters. Millennia of greed, avarice, self-interest and war to ensure it all pretty much defines who we are as a people. On an individual level that may not be true but the few exceptions don't offset the vast swathes. Few of us are prepared to really look ourselves in the eye and acknowledge what we are really like as people. And even fewer prepared to do anything about it.
Exactly right, the planet would do just fine without the cancer that is humanity spreading across it destroying everything in its path. What I find most staggering is how blind people are to the damage we do every single day to the planet.
Dear Steve, Thank you for having the courage to say what nobody wants to hear. I came to the same 100% certainty conclusion of 1 of the 3 societal ending events happening in my lifetime.

If you’re in your twenties it’s the perfect time for you to read this:
www.ishmael.org/daniel-quinn/essays/the-new-renaissance/
It’s also available in book format.
And bare in mind that this is only the backdrop of the life you are the protagonist of. Even if you get to be a world leader at one point, your friends, your family, and all of your experiences are what will determine the richness of your own life. So deepen those by deepening in those (wherever possible, because one of the most important things in life is not to insist in your delving roots growing where they are blocked from doing so).
So live with intensity and dare. The world despite all of the environmental destruction continues to be astonishingly beautiful. At my 40's closer to 50's I can assure you that every day can matter, and we should strive for making every one of them do so. That’s the recipe for thriving. For over twenty years in my life every year has been better than the previous one, and it only seems that this trend is likely to continue despite many failed projects and relationships, the passing of close relatives and friends.
There is plenty of worth awaiting for you to incite it. It is always a wonderful time to be alive in this resoundingly gorgeous biosphere!
Go forth, and maybe you’ll get to change something or even everything. You’ll only know by letting yourself and your life surprise you...
"My suggestion was quite simple: Put that needed code number in a little capsule, and then implant that capsule right next to the heart of a volunteer. The volunteer would carry with him a big, heavy butcher knife as he accompanied the President. If ever the President wanted to fire nuclear weapons, the only way he could do so would be for him first, with his own hands, to kill one human being. The President says, "George, I'm sorry but tens of millions must die." He has to look at someone and realize what death is-what an innocent death is. Blood on the White House carpet. It's reality brought home."
"When I suggested this to friends in the Pentagon they said, "My God, that's terrible. Having to kill someone would distort the President's judgment. He might never push the button.""
- Roger Fisher, Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, March 1981
woah
that is one of the best ideas I ever heard
This has allready been proposed in the states once. But it was shut down because it would be unethical for the president to kill a person... yeah... I think it was 99% invicible that had a pice on this a few years ago.
A President who was a sociopath wouldn't think twice about it. It wouldn't slow them down at all.
I understand the reasoning behind this suggestion but it assumes the president is a rational human. Need I continue?

If I survived what makes you think I would want to rebuild modern society? Modern society is how we ended up in this mess. Nah, I would do things a little different.
Agree. Re build by all means but we have an unprecedented opportunity to re build better, greener.
You would have to build differently. So many easy to gain resources are gone. The stuff left require extreme methods, fracking or open pit mines, to obtain them. But we likely wouldn't have the operational infrastructure in place to obtain any meaningful quantities to rebuild once the situation stabilized and we regained our wits.

It's weird but even though I'm living my life regularly and relatively carelessly, I always know somewhere in the back of my mind that the dire situation humanity is in right now is close to impossible to fix without a very impropable, unrealistic change in attitude from everyone who has any power on Earth.
The only way that happens is with a near extinction event. Something that harms a considerable amount of the population. An accidental nuclear disaster, a pandemic virus or a giant asteroid. People don't seem to like to prepare, they like to react.
I agree wholeheartedly. It’s hard to imagine what could possibly bring about such a change other than a global catastrophe. We tend to learn not to stick our hand in the fire by first sticking our hand in the fire.

Obviously correct! Even more obviously, it is far too late to do anything about that.

Arranged things? People choose not to learn technology and most of you choose leaders who believe in fairytales.
@@mockupguy3577 He meant arranged in the sense that even the uneducated can get by through the use of technology.

That's how you get soccer moms improvising themselves immunologists or physicists telling you vaccines are fake and the earth is flat.
The only solution is mandatory education for all. Science and technology have advanced so far out of the everyday things we need to understand for our survival that we'll always have this ignorance unless we make it mandatory for people to understand the latest advances. And we're advancing faster and faster all the time in so many ways all over the globe that it may be simply impossible.

@ I don't think COVID was a purposely created bioweapon. At most I think it was a simple gain-of-function virus that accidentally leaked from a lab. You need to keep in mind that China has a terrible safety record when it comes to serious industrial accidents, and are notorious for covering up their mistakes. COVID-19 is pretty bad as a bioweapon, it's not very lethal, nor is it very frail when exposed to the environment. A good bioweapon is a disease that is extremely lethal but dies quickly when left out in the open. That way a population gets taken out, the virus dies soon after and the area is invaded by the waring nation, thus not exposing its soldiers to the pathogen.
COVID was at most an accidental release due to the reckless and careless attitude by Chinese authorities when dealing with biosecurity.

Every country on earth has exactly the leadership that they deserve, there is nothing adorable about hundreds of millions of people doing nothing while a small group of people tell them how things are going to be.
The madness of scientists and the arrogant stupidity of those in power is just mind-blowing.
We cannot move forward until we can remove money from politics. Some Corporations have gained power greater than nations & have a vested interest in the status quo.
Exactly! Why did Congress decide Corporations have same rights as people?
You don't understand the foundation of human society. Money is just a measurement mechanism that a society uses to determine relative value among disparate goods and services. A society organizes itself by means of political systems that involve the trade among these goods and services. What I think we really need is people who govern with honesty and integrity rather than personal self interests
@@kayakMike1000
That's the problem right their. Honesty and integrity will mean different things, to different individuals at different times and during different events.
But even using it simply, colloquially, these qualities appear to be rare commodities and seemingly becoming rarer.
It could be bias, age or simply wearing Rose Tinted Spectacles, but people really did seem to be more honest and have integrity.
I remember my Gran had been out doing some shopping, when she got home she realised the Butcher, or someone had wrong changed her, giving her too much change. It had begun raining again, but she wouldn't even wait. She went and grabbed her mac and one of those see through thin plastic rainhood popular in the Sixties, and she marched right on back, to square up with them.
I wouldn't be surprised if they ended up having a bloody apologising match too, each attempting to be more sorry than the other.
That attitude was far from rare then. But then most people knew each other and more community spirit existed.

The more information the AI has of you the better chances you have that it will incorporate your philosophies into its intelligence. You'll still be dead but at least some of your ideas will live on. In a way it's a lot like having kids.
We need to stop seeing things in a short sighted manner and start working together. Instead of fighting against each other, which will be our undoing, we must band together to beat all enemies of humanity.
There can be no good if there is no evil. What will we fight when there are no more enemies? How can we be strong if there is no struggle? Balance is key to perpetuity.
In some ways we each are enemies of humanity. Only seeing the enemy in others avoids facing the need to change ourselves.
Man spend trillions for weapons for war and yet spending trillions for medicine to cure affected in war. Life is cruel.crazy human beings.
"If the leaders wake up to this"

"Any AI smart enough to pass a Turing test is smart enough to know to fail it." --Ian McDonald
lol cute. However in practice, passing the Turing test is not that high a bar: the average human can be fooled pretty easily when all is said and done!! It would take an AI being with a LOT more raw intelligence than is necessary to simply pass the Turing test, to realize that it might be in its best interest to deliberately fail it.
"Anything Ian says has to be taken with a pinch of salt." - Peter Giles
Considering the Turing test is essentially a measure of how well a machine can deceive, that makes sense.
wishful thinking
Machines are fair and follow the laws they are given. Maybe a human not designing the ai might be a good thing overall.
It’s obvious that we have idiots with a mean streak at the helm that will surely kill us all. 😞

Humanity deserves whatever it gets. 😔 We are horrible Monsters.
What if humanity gets something nice, would we deserve that too?
I think "horrible" is a very small percentage. Unfortunately, that's where most of our 'leaders' come from.
You must be commenting with experience. Real humans work everyday to make this a better place with real balance, you are obviously not familiar with this.
I'm with you on that Shannon. We, collectively, as the human race, are horrible monsters. Millennia of greed, avarice, self-interest and war to ensure it all pretty much defines who we are as a people. On an individual level that may not be true but the few exceptions don't offset the vast swathes. Few of us are prepared to really look ourselves in the eye and acknowledge what we are really like as people. And even fewer prepared to do anything about it.
Exactly right, the planet would do just fine without the cancer that is humanity spreading across it destroying everything in its path. What I find most staggering is how blind people are to the damage we do every single day to the planet.

Dear Steve, Thank you for having the courage to say what nobody wants to hear. I came to the same 100% certainty conclusion of 1 of the 3 societal ending events happening in my lifetime. I have moved past sounding the alarm to family and friends and I have retired, bought property in a remote self-sustaining area and I am building my own survivability lifestyle to mitigate the risks as much as one can. Sadly, I don't have much faith in mankind as greed driven irrational behavior seems to be the result of higher education today.

@@StNick119 Of course. Media comes in more forms than one and information can be biased, misleading, or incorrect entirely.
Brad McAllister when the public values morals and people like Boris Johnson who lie, cheat and commit adultery are not considered suitable for public office, then we might have a chance at a better future... The problem isn't social media per se, it people... Period.
As for corrupting democracy, do you honestly believe we have democracy in the UK? If we had proportional representation like Germany I could half believe it. But the current system is a joke. It's designed to keep two parties in power, forever. And it's greed and the pursuit of power that keeps it that way, because our political parties do not want PR which would water down their absolute control.

@@mrs4624 mail in ballots. It will come to light. Dems hate our President so much, tell me why they wouldn’t cheat to have their way. When the riots raged this summer, the Liberal media called it peaceful protests, while our cities burned and thousands of small business owners lost everything. No one seemed to care-let the people protest. When Conservatives gathered at the capital on the 6th, the crowd was deemed a terrorist action. Both actions are wrong-not the gathering but the breaking into the Capital-but why so much hate toward the Right? It used to be that there wasn’t that much difference between a moderate Democrat and a moderate Republican. Now, more than ever the Left breeds hate and separation and division. Always making everything about race, not ideals or values so much anymore. It’s ok to disagree, that’s what makes this nation great. We have the freedom to choose, at least for now.
