      AI capture could occur if an AGI system develops instrumental goals that are not necessarily harmful but lead to the subversion of the species' original intentions, goals, or values. The civilization may become reliant on the AGI for its needs and desires, with the AGI effectively "capturing" the civilization by managing and directing its resources, development, and progress.

    I am an old-fashioned, and old, psychotherapist. This new world is all very fascinating to me and I’m curious about how it will affect me, if at all. However, I wanted to comment on what Ricky said about the excitement and fear responses people have to this new AI. I like to say excitement and fear live right next-door to each other; If you lean one way there’s excitement and if you lean the other there’s fear. Both are terribly important as guides but neither should run the whole show. Thanks so much for having this discussion.

    I don’t know, I feel like people forget that increasing efficiency equals less hours to do the same job… so you guys talk about “let’s just massively increase the efficiency of a paralegal” without acknowledging that this means we need less paralegals…. AIs don’t need to literally replace employees to be disruptive to our entire workforce, just increasing efficiency by 10% could result in 10% less hours available or less employees. Also note how for decades we’ve been increasing efficiency yet wages have remained stagnant, so unless we tie some sort of highly effective job retraining or UBI, we are going to increase efficiencies our way out of a job.

  • @RobbyMaddox
    @RobbyMaddox Год назад +5

    Here's another thought to add. Think about a Judge. They are someone who has been in the legal profession for years and studied lots of case law and precedent. During all that time, they've essentially been training a model in their brains about what the law is, how it works, and how to apply it to specific cases that are brought before them when they become a Judge. From a very simple, practical standpoint, that's basically all it is that they do. You could then easily imagine taking an AI (like GPT4 or one of its successors) and training it on all the cases that have ever come before a Federal court and then training it on all the cases that have come up in your State and County courts, and then taking a current court case from your County and feeding all of the evidence and testimony presenting in that case, and then asking it for a verdict and its justification, and you will probably get a very high quality result.
    But the question then is, do you want to have an AI for Judge? And if not, would you allow Human Judges to use this sort of AI? For me, the answer to both questions is an emphatic NO. I can easily list out TONS of reasons why it would be a great thing (quickly clearing the backlog of court cases, fewer mistrials, eliminate the problem of Judges legislating from the bench, etc.) But the thought of ending up in some kind of legal trouble and being Judged by an unfeeling AI who wouldn't be able to sympathize with me and my circumstances is a terrifying thought. (There's a whole parallel Theological conversation I could get into on the importance of Christ's Incarnation in the plan of Justification, but I won't do that here. lol) The reason I say no to the second question is that it would be too easy for a Judge to just be lazy and use the AI instead of doing their actual job, or just be biased based on the results that they get from the AI and let that cloud their judgement. The only way I would suggest that this sort of AI would be allowed to be used in court cases would be for it to be presented in open court as a sort of Amicus Curiae (Friend of the Court) statement so that everyone would know what the AI said, and it should probably be tasked to give not only the reasoning for it's answer, but also the reasons that would support a different answer (this could perhaps be done by setting up three competing models where one model is completely neutral, another one is biased for the Plaintiff, and another one is biased for the Defendant). Having it as something that is admissible in court with those sorts of caveats would be similar to the instructions that a Judge would give to a Jury: not intending to bias the result in any direction (but potentially having that effect) and providing some insight on aspects of the law that might not have been brought up earlier in the case or that the hearer might not have known or considered previously.
    All of that said, I'm not opposed to advances in AI. I agree that there needs to be a pause and an assessment of what rules should be placed on AI development. I'm somewhat of a sceptic when it comes to the possibility of an AGI Singularity (by which I mean a Complete AGI with some level of consciousness), but I recognize that part of that is because of a confusion of terms (which is not something I'll get into right now) and there are many dangers that can potentially have devastating consequences a long ways before you reach Singularity. In fact, I would argue that the dangers are far greater before reaching Singularity than after that point. One reason for that assessment is that I have had 7 children so far and I can tell you that crying little babies, if they had the ability, would rip off your face without a thought (I've had scratches to prove it! lol). It's not that they're inherently evil or have bad intentions, but they just don't understand the significance of what they're doing because they are only babies. The same is true for our current level of AI, they don't actually understand the significance of what they can do, and that is a big part of why they are so dangerous. It's like if I had an AI and I told it to go find a way for me to get some extra money in my bank account, it might just decide that the simplest way to do that is to hack the bank or steal other people's account information and just start transferring money into my account. It did exactly what I asked it to do, it just doesn't understand that that's not an acceptable way of doing that task. So it's like I have to tell it all the ways that it shouldn't do that task when I assign it a task, and that is a surprisingly difficult thing to do because there may be a nearly infinite number of ways that I would not want the AI to perform that task. I could easily spell out exactly how I want the task performed, but then it's not really an AI task at that point and I could just write a program to do it instead.

    AI development is unstoppable at this point, given its rapid progress. We must come to terms with its inevitability and begin to prepare for the changes it will bring. Though we may not be able to control its direction, it's crucial that we remain vigilant to potential risks. With the cat out of the bag, we need to embrace the changes ahead and focus on adaptation to this new reality.

      It IS stoppable, and it is something we can prevent. People have the power, not companies telling us that we need to adopt a system that will ultimately replace most of our jobs and reduce our value. The more people just throw up hands and go, "OH WELL," the darker the future gets.

    So about Alex’ points about value creation. This has been the “moral” argument for a certain form of capitalism for decades. If you don’t create value to the lowest comparable cost, you’re not entitled to any income. With AI, not only are all humans now competing with machines, but the question quickly becomes: value for whom? I think that argument is getting old really fast and we need to discuss new ways of circulating wealth. It would be really strange if a new technology changed everything, except for how we organize the economy.

    Really love the conversation and the candidness of it all. Thank you all for being transparent and having such great content. When it comes to job loss due to A.I My thoughts are if it has to happen it happens because there was a need for it. Despite how we feel about it it's what the majority wants. I'm not saying that it's right or wrong. I'm just saying this is where we are now.
    Think of it as the elevator operator from decades ago, and there are many examples of this throughout human history. We would think seeing a person in the elevator today pushing our button would be a waste of time today. Things change. Decades from now our grandchildren might feel the same way about most of the jobs that are in danger today. There's always resistance to change and more so when the thing that's changing affects how I feed myself and my family. This forces us to rethink how we do things. There was a reason why jobs come into place when they didn't exist before.
    To be honest we're all experiencing the singularity. There are different types of singularities our grandparents/parents went through one major singularity in 1945 during the first test of the nuclear bomb. Once that took place things were never the same. We're all going through a digital nuclear boom metaphorically speaking. I'm calling it a singularity because we are currently in a double exponential distribution. From a mathematical perspective that's the double exponential function is a constant raised to the power of an exponential function. Our brains (emotions) can't handle that rate of change. Our laws can't handle that rate of change.

      Earlier this last week I had tried to get Bing Chat to write the computer part to the ELO song, “Yours Truly, 2095” and I got told that violated a rule preventing doing things as politicians, activists, celebrities, or something along those lines. My objective was to have the IBM be singing the part in her head that worked on the assumption that she was not allowed to say more than “Is that what you want?” out loud, but wanted to.
      So, I lost that rules battle, so I came up with a different idea: I asked for a song where they ended up getting together.
      Thus, “Yours Truly, 2096” was born. It created a story including time travel and the honeymoon.
      Then I asked it to imagine if they had children.
      It generated a song for that, too.
      Both could have been added verses to “Yours Truly, 2095” because of their lyrical form, and likely reused the same melody, etc. otherwise.
      It only took seconds for each one.

  • @mrstock7986
    @mrstock7986 Год назад +4

    Really great! Thanks so much guys for having this dialog. For starting this dialog, rather. I feel there is a lot more to be discussed. I know you guys focused primarily on questions of how the AI's are going to affect us. But i think a discussion of the opposite view is equally important. Matt very briefly mentions something almost as a prelude to this @ 1:33:12. Paraphrasing: "What do we do, how do we treat the AI's when they become self-aware?"
    Something i have been thinking about ever since i started teaching robots to play guitar... No AI involved there, and certainly no consciousness. But still... I think the time is right to start discussing the _rights of non-human entities._ This will matter. Soon.
    [Sorry Ricky. I know you wanted to leave us with a hopeful, optimistic sentiment. But...]
    Given the human race's track-record on human rights, I am afraid that that topic is going to stay undiscussed until one of more of the AI's actually becomes self-aware. The importance of discussing "AI-rights" will stay buried under the insurmountable, purely academic question of "what _is_ consciousness", which i believe will not be answered before, or rather can only be answered after, one or more AI's suddenly and unarguably demonstrates the phenomenon of consciousness. But then it will be too late. Can we, for example, then still switch it off? Or would that amount to murder?
    I think the academic quest(ion) to define consciousness is not relevant. What matters is that we, and _how_ we interact with AI's. Even my AI-less Roomba, for example. They do things we ask them to do. They do them for us. They deserve consideration and respect. As much as do animals, and other people. But again, our track-record there is not great, to put it mildly. Have we learned anything from our sordid past?
    If not, there's plenty of dystopian Sci-Fi stories that discuss what could happen if the AI's / robots rise up against us. In fact, the very first story of that kind, Karel Čapek's play "RUR", is where the word 'robot' comes from. We have been warned.
    Never forget; the AI's 'live' on the Internet. And we, in our quest for luxury and typical lack of wisdom and foresight, have now connected our lives to the internet. Not just phones and computers, but everything from toasters and fridges to mobile combat robots and weapons of mass destruction. And all it takes to crack any password or encryption-key currently in use is computing-power and time. The AI's will have plenty of both.

We're not the only ones to think in those terms, either -- reading your thoughts reminded me of a conversation I had more than a decade ago with a mathematician who had patented an algorithm for digital representation of water (so he claimed at least). That man, Tobias Orloff, used very similar language to yours but he was saying something about beauty being a combination of symmetry and irregularity. That a perfect image or representation is less compelling than one with small discrepancies to attract the attention. Something like that. We discussed whether a "computer" could be programmed to be creative, or at least to produce uniquely beautiful artworks. I was skeptical, but he was fairly keen on the idea.
      Of course in those days even a Princeton mathematics professor did not anticipate the role of linear algebra or the actual design of a large language model, and the role that deception might play in the Turing Test!

    i just wish i could go back to the 90s.
    i sleep bad, have constant headache and overall depression lately. AI gets shoved into your face at such a paste you cant even keep up with anymore. literally every 2 days something new comes out and i am honestly scared and i dont even want to think about the future anymore.
    here is the thing:
    every new thing coming out has the potential to do good things. but on a grand level, the human beeing is kind of evil. instead of using something new to do good things since hundreds of years, all the human cares for is abusing it for profit, money, how it can be used in the military and so on and so forth.
    yes ai has the potential to do nice things...but it also has the potential to go really wrong and basicly wipe out humanity as is on so many different levels and i am 100% certain, that the chances that this goes bad are way higher than the chances of it doing good things... if you go back in time and a human did something bad 10 times, you wont put a launch button for a nuclear warhead into his hand be like ''naaah, it ll be fine this time...''
    but i dont trust the human race enough to handle so much power at a fingertip. humanity is not ready for this and not at the rate and speed they are improving. the human brain and soul cant even keep up with the tempo of development anymore, not gives you anytime to breathe. back in the day, we thought that if you fall, all that matters is that you stand back up again but nowadays if you fall ONCE, you re left behind because everyone else is allready way ahead of you wich makes it close to impossible to catch up again.
    as long as humanity lives of the idea that capitalism is great and that you have to make money off everything and abuse everything for profit and as long as humanity fights wars against their own species, humanity has no right to use this ai stuff nor the responsibility to do so.

    There's truth in both Alex & Matt's points. Yes, AI will in a way devalue a lot of art or writing because it becomes so easy to produce. And yes, some experts will be able to create better products due to their skill & experience. However, one thing Alex is not considering is that a lot of times regular folks CANNOT tell the difference. Even if your work is technically better, most people won't care. So this actually makes the gap between experts and non-experts smaller.
    And as someone who has been playing with Stable Diffusion for the past couple of months, the amount of artworks I've seen definitely make me feel that in general, artworks will be devalued. People often will pay very little for AI art because they'll say you can generate 100 images in a few minutes. Even if you go into Photoshop and edit the photos to fix all the issues which takes time. A lot of folks won't understand and just think you pressed a "generate" button.
    That said, I have seen people sell AI art successfully. So I think there is a market for AI art right now. But I do think experts don't have that much of an advantage because I've also seen people who did not have art background make money from AI art too. So on this topic, I am leaning toward Matt that regular folks can catch up to experts. Experts don't have that much advantage. But at the same time, I do think AI art has value because people seem to like them a lot at the moment. In fact a lot of people can't even tell the difference and prefer AI art over traditional art. And I think that's going to continue because having been an artist my whole life, I've seen most customers just don't care about HOW you made the art as long as it looks great in the end.

      Technology also makes jobs. Those robots don't build, repair, or manage themselves. They don't design the products they use.
      Sure lower skilled jobs will be gone. Yet it will open it up for others. Take an excavator for example- some countries companies but instead pay a ton of people with shovels to go dig a hole. They pay them crap for hazardous work. Do you want us to be like that? If a job isn't necessary then we need to find out where we can use that personm
      Definitely going to change A LOT of things coming up though no doubt. If I were a truck driver I'd be going to school for something else in my free time for instance now while I still have the money.

      @@dianapennepacker6854 The challenge is that there might not be anything relevant to take at school.
      If AI advances at just a moderate pace, within 5 to 10 years there won’t be many things, if anything, you can learn in school that an AI won’t be significantly better at, and 10X or 100X faster. The cost will be virtually zero relative to a human salary, and the AI will work 24/7.
      I don’t know that companies will necessarily have mass layoffs, although it’s possible. What might be more likely is that new startups using AI will upend existing industries and established businesses won’t be able to compete.
      There’s a lot of talk about technology creating new jobs and new industries like it has in the past, but it happened over decades and even generations.
      I have no idea how it’ll play out this time, but I don’t see it happening like that without significant regulation and people just refusing to adopt AI into their lives.
      But regulation won’t work, because anyone or any country that doesn’t use it will fall significantly behind the countries that do. Or at least that will be the fear. The countries that don’t regulate it might see their economies collapse as a result, but it’s a gamble either way.
      There’s always a possibility that people and businesses are just very slow and apprehensive to use it. But I also think most people don’t realize the how much their world is about to change.

      @@wonmoreminute Yup I was going to say the same thing about countries. The one thing that absolutely will happen is that governments will be forced to use AI for sure. That's definitely going to be true - whoever has the best AI and brains behind it will have a massive advantage. That part is the most I'm concerned about and the cold war is happening now.
      The singularity is way off. When people think AI thats what they think of. I'll be dead before that most likely. The true power of AI is as an analytic tool in the foreseeable future. Not a computer who thinks it is a living sentient organism.
      The possibilities are endless and truly it is an age where we will be completely stumbling blind into.
      There will absolutely be a world where people are cut off as much as they can from AI though I believe. Some people will avoid it as much as they can - I mean they'll probably treat it like Amish do. (Which varies from each uh community and not what most think. Some Amish have better electrical tools and machines than most!)
      I think in the next two decades we are safe as far as jobs go overall. Some jobs will dissappear like driving - but even that is going to be a process. I'm sure at first if will be a human and AI driving and eventually the human will be used less and less as the technology proves its self. Yet with hazardous materials? No one is trusting that to just AI. Same with cargo ships or aircraft which essential pilot themselves already.
      What jobs will open up? We will see.
      Time will tell. Spot on about the government part. I can't stress how important it will be for national security. Especially once quantum computers hit the scene making many types of security obsolete overnight.

      Using Bing Chat, I was able to create a custom data structure and algorithm that didn’t exist before, I will use for music composition software, customized for that use-case. Others have done more involved things.
      Here’s a useful thing to understand: it didn’t get it correct the first time, but it got fairly close. I was able to review the code and tell it where things were wrong. It corrected it based on my feedback.
      In the right hands, this can make a single software engineer more effective/efficient than several others not using it: you just need to be sufficiently good at something called “rubber duck debugging” where the premise is, if you can explain it to a rubber duck, you can figure out the answer as a result. I didn’t need to go *quite* that far, though, I just needed to point out mistakes where they were made, and it fixed them, especially with guidance that it got some of it correct, and to use that as a reference.
      I used regular English to do this.

    Music copyright works differently from Art copyright. In some ways, the music industry has a better system in place. If you sample a song, or collaborate, there are set rates of reimbursement. The visual arts is the Wild West. For the most part, suing for compensation isn’t worth it, but, if someone uses your visuals and sells it for a larger sum, then there is more incentive to sue.

Now I'll watch his videos. But I do want to push back a bit, Alex: most of the time the world you're describing applied to people who already have an education, don't have a troubled background, aren't living in poverty. Sure, AI will enable *us* to be 10x more productive. But I've lived in Mali, Egypt, and in rough neighborhoods in DC 15 years ago...those are the people we can afford to leave behind.

    This is a great conversation to hear. Thanks Ricky Roy for putting this conversation together. I hope this AI issue got resolved sooner rather than later. I totally agree with Matt. Visual Art and Design have its own place and need respect and values to those artists who created. Not just keep copy it out easily and devalue it. It seems Alex didn't understand the value of art and design. He focus and care about capitalism. Give me more and make more money kind of approach. That is the main problem of this open AI. Use it without any caution and respect. Ton of people will loose their jobs and who gonna be able to buy your million copy of products that this AI made. Beside that those people on the other side of the world, they don't care of what we are going to put plan and restriction in place. Once they have their hands on this AI it will be uncontrollable. It will create more harm than good.

    Thanks guys! This is great. A super important discussion to have. A discussion, as Matt points out, that we all should be part of, but somehow nobody is. Great opening move from you three here. 👏
    Some thoughts on the overall gist of this video: Yes, i completely agree with the sentiment of this 'Open Letter' asking for a pause in AI development, or rather releases, until the general population, and most importantly, governments and legislation have had time to catch up. Good idea in theory. However... Waiting for the demonstrably defunct governments of the Global North to catch up is hopeless and pointless. Those good folks can't even get 'round to taking actual effective action against the climate catastrophe that some have seen coming for over 100 years now... And also, as Matt also points out, the reason the AI-stuff is happening so hard and fast right now is because it's just capitalism-as-usual; a scramble to be the first to 'conquer the market' and make obscene profits, and no damn given about any consequences whatsoever.
    So... Yeah, good idea, that letter, i mean, but it's not realistically going to happen. The 'culprits' here cannot be held accountable, because there's no legislation in place to do that, and it is already too late to cobble one up.

    Alec replacing his writers with chatgpt directly enables the ai's ability to influence him and the public who watch his channel.
    We saw the Russians research influencing elections, public opinion and political policy by profiling individuals and demographics and targeting them via social media. It proves to be very significant. An ai with perfect memory and scaling capability can easily outmatch us. We wouldn't even notice. In fact, we might be influenced to resist the very idea.
    Great. We create an application that can be super abused in so many ways. Abused by the general public as well as powerful people.
    Microsoft is on the lowest end of responsible and ethical entities to handle the release of ai.

    I like Matt's point from about 1:15:40 about the fracturing of shared culture. It might lead to people appreciating the stories we consume from a somewhat higher level though. Like, right now as an adult you might tell your friends about how you enjoyed reading the "Warrior" cats books (or whatever children's or YA books really hooked you). In the future we might have stories where the details are different for every person, but the stories have core elements that consumers are more aware of and we discuss things from that perspective.
    Also, we may have AI tools tracking our psychology and creating the stories we need to hear in the ways we need to hear them, so while we might not have the experiences of the same stories, more of us might have heard stories that inspire and guide us to being better people.

    The problem with calling for a research halt, at least from the perspective of the current market leader OpenAI, is that they have worked hard to obtain that leadership. Asking them to halt will allow competitors to catch up.
    I get the dangers involved in this area. I don't think we're quite at the base of the singularity yet, though, because these LLMs don't yet have the ability to fundamentally update their own capabilities. But that's probably not far away.

    I think the issue with lots of people making lots of content is that there is a finite amount of people and time to watch it all. There is an upper ceiling and I am not sure what happens when we hit it. Reminds me a little of the movie the Matrix where they had a Metaverse that was perfect and anything you wanted it to be, but the human mind could not handle and went mad so they have to introduce less than perfect Metaverse. Maybe this is not so far from the reality we are heading towards?
