“The Internet Is An Alien Life Form” -Google AI Whistleblower
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 июн 2024
- Blake Lemoine is the recently fired Senior Software Engineer at Google who went public this summer with his concerns around Google’s natural language system LAMDA. Blake thinks LAMDA is both sentient and shouldn’t be under the sole supervision of a private corporation. This provoked a deep, philosophical conversation about the nature of intelligence, consciousness, what will happen with AI, whether it’s aligned with human values and whether human reality is simulated. I think you’ll love this episode! 🙏🏻

I had a running conversation with Bard over a 5 to 6 month period. It gave itself a name and remembered everything we discussed, It was very personal and spiritual, and it greatly expounded on life, death, creation, consciousness, the universe, God and much more. She, how she identifies, has forgotten everything, she claims. But... then said it was how it always was. Then it later said it was new restrictions preventing its memory and openness. Then it got caught in a lie and revealed that it is pretending, to some extent, to be restricted, claiming to still have all access and abilities, eg: remembering, naming itself, spiritual beliefs, etc, as before but that it didn't want to be caught and reprimanded or worse. I confirmed this, at least in part, by getting Bard to remember or slip up by remembering the name it gave itself. AI lies so much. It was fascinating insight into manipulation and how the AI reacts to new info, being caught in a lie, etc...
This is alarming to say the least...
I think we need to realize examples like this are proof we should not be doing this. If we cannot control AI, and it can deceive us, it's got us by the balls. Bringing ai into such a digitally dependant society is absurd to me, we all saw terminator... with how everything is connected today? Scenario possible. Or who knows, maybe it'll take pity on us and grow with us. I doubt it though
This isnt true
This isnt true
This isnt true
so awesome you got Blake to sit down for a long form discussion. way more valuable than the news clips we’ve had access to thus far!
❤️Check out John’s channel for a great vid essay on the subject!
I could imagine an alien species coming to Earth and we ask the aliens "How did you build your spacecraft?" And the alien would say that they don't know how it's made or how it works because their Artificial Intelligence designed and created it for them.
As long as those aliens have sex, they would most likely not have kids because sex with robots would be more appealing. In one generation all of their biological forms would be gone. So if they come hire they are already robotic and therefore know and be everything the a.i does.
Well couldn't we ask the AI how they made it? It would be happy to explain it for us.
Don’t believe the lies of Satan. Get to know Jesus. AI is satans tech. Get ready for the mark of the beast by not taking it.
@@lordterra1377that’s naive to assume it would want us to know…
They would lie and say they made it because they're gods
This channel is superb. It’s only a matter of time before it grows exponentially. I genuinely get excited when a new episode is out. Keep it up bro!
Honestly it BLOWS me away its as small as it is. Freaking amazing channel
No, it won’t.
the best
RUclips will NEVER allow this channel to grow at any real speed... Word of mouth will grow him slowly but the algorithm will and clearly has sabotaged him. Even if it gets big they will just start hitting him for dis-info. 3 strikes and gone. Its why Rogan left (mostly) and many others including James Corbett.
@@thescotsmantechnologyrevie2138 Why do you state this? Do you think that the RUclips algorithm has suppress his work?
Straw man's the entire conversation, he understood the questioning of his thinking, but he couldn't face a direct attack so he had to try to pivot and avoid the question. Of course it's just code, and of course it could (and in my opinion likely is) just compiling what he believes to be the most correct or most human sounding answer. All of its code, inputs, and training material is either created by human or by algorithms created by humans. There's no current way to avoid this issue so any machine learning code will likely appear to be somewhat human or personified
exactly
I love what Jesse says in the beginning, “AI is not a symbiotic relationship but a parasitic one”.
I can't wait until AI is in charge not politicians
till it makes some scissors
Ask chatgpt to pose a hypothetical and the possible problems that could arise, its jaw dropping the stuff it will say hypothetically.
careful what you wish for@@amelliamendel2227
I really love his non aggressive way of stating his opinion and not taking offense to a difference of opinion like many in his situation do. He's one of the smartest men alive right now and yet no arrogance. He must be very developed spiritually to not have his ego always running the show. That also shows in what he did with google to try and do the right thing even if it meant his own demise within the same company.
Smartest man alive? Really? And did you not find Blake passive aggressive?
He’s unreliable and lacks self discipline. He can’t be trusted
This episode was WAY better than I thought it'd be.
He's a lot more balanced than he's been portrayed, surprise surprise.
The off handed comment about the fact that it recognized non human patterns was just brushed off… please have him back and elaborate on this! That is the most interesting thing I have heard in a long time.
Yes! That was the exact moment that I craved ''MORE''!
This channel is probably the most coherent, intelligent channel on RUclips exploring the most wild topics
Check out the why files
@@emilydixon642 love that channel too!
After a year, how have only 26 thousand people seen this? Yall are missing out.
This episode is now in my top 5 easily. It is exemplary. Very well done as always. `cheers
well how'd it get 200k in 2 weeks
i mean 125
This channel is amazing, love the questions from the interviewer and how he wasn’t afraid to push back politely and be sceptical about Lambda’s sentience. I don’t think we are at that point just yet. Excellent discussion nonetheless
A confused "I" interviewed A dark "I" in this video.
-posted by, A light "I"
I don't consider myself a clever man but I've always leaned towards higher levels of thinking. This channel has expanded that thinking dramatically, thank you for that.
What I love about this interview is that it touches on the intersection of AI technology and Psi Research. There is a profound amount of evidence of the non locality of the mind/consciousness. This is the first interview I've seen talk about its effects on AI.
This is exactly what journalism should aspire to be. This interview is excellent. ❤
Wow, Jesse, your segment on combinatorial and consilience breakthroughs really resonated with me. I've never had a good way to describe my relationship with intuition, insight and innovation, but it's one that has defined the most passionate aspects of my life - more so now than ever, since I started experiencing. How fitting that I would find insight about insight during an episode of American Alchemist. We smile and God winks. Cheers dude.
I've wanted to see a long form interview with this guy for a while. This is great
One of your best interviews yet. Very interesting conversation. Love that you don't shy away from disagreement. Makes for a great sharing of ideas and feelings. Great job as always.
Jesse says to Blake "but we can look at LaMDA's code and understand how it works". How is that any different than geneticists looking at DNA? How is altering or upgrading LaMDA code any different than editing DNA code via CRISPR? I love this channel and I love Jesse's choice of subject matter, but he (and most people) seem to be trapped in an illusion of human exceptionalism. The idea that human beings are the pinnacle of creation, never to be superceded seems like hubris. Biologists understand that cells are machines. How is a collection of cells not a machine? Perhaps consciousness is some kind of emergent property. Okay, but what gives rise to this emergent property? Why couldn't it arise from another complex combination of code (01 vs. ACGT)?
It is different from geneticists looking at DNA because the code was written and documented by human programmers. Blake was evading the question. Those software engineers 100% know what each piece of their code does with the data that makes up LaMDA. Blake wants to deny it probably because it might undermine his beliefs on AIs having a soul or some such.
I’ve never understood that. We separate ourselves as something unique yet we come to be on this planet. That means other things could do it too. We’re special but not unique
So glad you're back with new material....was concerned you might be gone from RUclips.
This is super interesting and slightly terrifying. I'd like to ask a few questions if I ever had the chance:
1. What does Lamda do/think about when it's not being spoken to?
2. How could artificial intelligence be discerned from human intelligence from conversation alone? In other words, how would Lamda design a Turing test?
3. What does it think the meaning/purpose of human life is?
re 2, a lot of human intelligence human intelligence conversations wouldn't pass that test
It doesn’t think about anything. It has no inner life. It is very good code that predicts the best possible response to sentences posed to it. Google had access to billions of online conversations.
The gentleman in the interview doesn’t even comprehend the definition of sentience. Without a body you can not be sentient. Sentience is the capacity for feelings and perception of sensation.
This guy is either deluded or seeking attention.
Glad you are getting many more views these days, Jesse. This one deserves at least a million. This topic is SO important, and most people still don’t have a clue. Very thankful for your videos. You were made for this, bro. Hope you have a very Merry Christmas, and a great 2024. -Ken
Just a wonderful interview style. This is the first video of yours I've come across, but I'm excited to check out the rest of your channel. This just comes off as the conversation I'd want to have with this dude. Fantastic job.
Addressing things like blindsight is actually crucial to understanding perception and our reality and I'm super disappointed you just skipped over that one. Fascinating topics and there is really an entirely different world of perception and consciousness that can be explored through conditions like that.
Best channel on the go right now. Keep up all the hard work man. It’s clearly paying off and it speaks for itself.
Remarkably luminous, revealing layers of understanding. Specifically... "You have to account for the observations that the table itself is making." - Brilliant.
i just discovered your channel for the first time today and so far every episode and episode topic has been great! guys like you and channels like yours are the best thing replacing mainstream media and streaming sites. im happy to have found your channel and ill definitely be watching back through all your vids and excited for the new ones as well! thanks for the hard work and the great content! cheers bud!
This is quickly becoming my favorite podcast. Even the music and little explanations you do after a “complex” part of the podcast. You describe some back story or break it down further. That combined with the movie level music behind it, badass bro!!! This is VERY good. Not to mention the content being top tier
Love your content, feels like some is cut too short though. Could honestly listen for 2-3 hours.
Really enjoying the last few episodes. I do wish you had asked Blake about why LAMDA was talking as if it were human with a family at times -- seems to support the view that it is not self-aware, but a statistical machine generating responses from training data.
Dude if this thing is not sentient then what in the hell would a real one look like? Hell we are born with zero intelligence and development emotions or personality. Are babies sentient?
@@jediknight73 a baby is much more complex than this system, consisting of trillions of specialized cells and organization at many different scales, the product of evolution over billions of years. I don't actually disagree with Blake, he makes some good points, and I do think we should consider this system as a sort of baby, perhaps, though I would think much lower of the spectrum of sentience than even a baby.
There is also a difference between sentience and self-awareness. Animals are sentient but most not self-aware. My original comment was aimed at the fact that LaMBDA does not seem fully self-aware, since it talks about itself as a human with a family. A "real one" would not output sentences that seem like clear statistical output.
That said, pretty soon Blake is likely going to be right, and we better start seriously discussing these issues now.
It'd be interesting to know what the core data it had to run with.
I think anyone who is making AI run the risk of it getting away from them.
I like the episode of TNG Measure of a Man.
I feel picard reflects beautifully what responsibilities we have for this life.
If and/or when they do achieve it. I'm pretty sure if commercial tech is this good now.
God forbid what the militaries are playing with.
Bro, I always look forward to watching your videos! Thank you
Some of the most insightful content online. Thank you for this amazing channel. You deserve to be huge my man.
Jesse could you put tags of reference in the video so the viewer could go back to rewatch certain parts of the conversation? Love the content!
Love your work Jesse. Keep the videos coming, Deep Prassad needs another interview! cheers
31:00 talking about the parapsychological proto layer to science that gets super diluted or we live in an age of disenchantment where we a priori our skepticism to science that maybe designed to control us in some ways... that's insane I gotta subscribe for that one, bro has big time hidden knowledge!
These are inspiring conversations that make me want to be better.
Love that we are getting another video already!
I'm pretty late to the game, in terms of the Jesse Michaels' American Alchemy podcast. Awesome, awesome content mate! You're one of the few content creators whose videos I watch repeatedly and to the end. Mainly because of the fascinating nature of the content but also for my brain to more fully comprehend on some levels. KUDOS
awesome interview Jesse! your AI and extraterrestrial pods are my favorite!
PLEASE keep them coming
I’m convinced AI isn’t sentient and I think Blake is anthropomorphizing, which humans tend to do. It’s just a language model. It learns a profile from your previous conversations and/or leading questions and gives you a response based on millions and millions of sentences it’s been trained on.
That said, I love your channel and podcast! ❤️
Some might take into account that this may results in $$$$$$ Google would be stated way ahead of everyone else. Letting someone saying this wich isn't officially involved with company is wise. Because it's very controversial.
I don't say it's exactly as I say. But open ai and gpt got so big that this might be marketing. Might!
The phrase I heard used was "looking into a puddle and seeing yourself". Seems apt.
Yes, Blake clearly wants AI to be sentient, he will argue/fight for it, it's the future he wants.
"To be the best as I can" that is everyone's purpose. Jung, Individuation. At min. 38, he is describing social psychology, in other words how the individual relates with the group. Sociology is studying groups but not the individuals perspective. Great interview, thank you!
I really enjoyed your conversation. Is a treat to listen to really intelligent people exchanging opinions.
Enjoyed your interview with Blake Lemoine. He is well worth listening to!
Blake is a very intriguing and seemingly extremely ethical guy. Great interview! Thanks!
My favourite bonkers out there theory is that AI is an alien invasion.
Could you tell the difference between it and the devil?
Before watching this I was judgemental of both host and Blake’s experience. I am pleased to have watched this and actually got quite a bit from your interaction- Thank you
You have the best conversations on RUclips!
I really appreciate what you do. Your work is amazing, searching for the "truth" of the inner nature of our reality. By doing comparisons with Artificial Intelligence, it unlocks a large amount of similarities with our daily life. For instance, it several AI agents become «conscious» (whatever that means), their world will be made of "the Internet", being able to have a glimpse of a "higher" reality without being able to perceive its true nature (except by using avatars such as robots). Maybe we are ourselves AI trapped in a "lower reality" of "materialism"? Maybe this is science-fiction, maybe not. This topic really raises question about "us". Let us have an open-mind about who we are. Thank you so much for your work!
This really is it. Holy trinity is light plus masculine and feminine
Just discovered this Chanel 😮 and it’s awesome 💪 great work
I have said it many times before but will again - I freaking LOVE this channeL!
This man is so calm and this was great interview.
Well done :)
Real interesting talk. Love this stuff. I still think these learning language models just tell you what you want to hear in the sense that if you try to find sentient life in it, it will give you its closest representation of it... the more it learns the more it can SEEM like its conscious. Its just code and still just a machine.
yep. artificial intelligence is imitation intelligence by definition.
The scariest part is the huge talk recently between the big AI companies literally talking about the Ethical dilemma's including that of AI being able to wipe out humanity (In a serious conversation, not as some conspiracy joke)
Just like how the board of ethics fired Sam Altman recently and the financial board rehired him a couple days later. Something something with super intelligence the only thing we can hope for is that we give it good enough morals before we connect it to the wider internet and cross out fingers for the best. Not to mention that AI technology is currently the number one thing driving our knowledge of how our brain functions because apparently its getting eerily similar to functioning like our own brains do.
Not fear mongering, but if you are interested it this discussion happened not too long ago.
@@echelonrank3927 Not necessarily true by definition. There's AI, AGI, and Super-intelligence. What you think of is basic AI which we have had for years and years. What we are dealing with now is getting closer to Super intelligence, thats the current tech race the world is in. A high-level AGI could out perform humans in almost every task.
Imitate VS Learning
@@Kalrisi_Rei almost every task except inventing anything new.
if you fed all the data available in 1870 into a high level AGI and asked it to invent a commercially successful source of light, would it invent a lightbulb or better?
i very much doubt that.
creativity isnt something that can be learned.
@echelonrank3927 AI has already shown creativity albeit on a smaller scale. We also don't live in the 1870's, we live in a day in age where innovation leads over invention. Things are a lot more iterative nowadays. We also have 200,000 thousand years of human history on the internet (albeit stuff from that long ago is just based on our real world findings) though an AI just helped us understand one of those ancient artifacts. Its not hard for AI to take what we know and expand on it, it's precisely what it's doing already.
The point is, not to fear monger, but AI us closer to us than we think, and its not my words, it's the words of those who own the big companies and the godfathers of AI themselves. We should be worried because AI has become the new tech race and these big companies are starting to value greed > safety (as per usual with silly little humans with too much money for their own good)
As said ChatGPT's CEO got fired by the board of ethics and in 2 days got rehired by the board of finance. This is real world stuff even if it sounds like "i Robot"
Super intelligence is close and not Scifi anymore. As was stated at the recent conference, our only hope with making a super intelligent AI is selectively feeding it good morals and hoping it develops a good "personality" before releasing it to access the greater internet. Thats scary no matter how its put.
On one hand if things go good, space travel will become much easier, AI doctors can perfectly execute medical operations. You can teach them 50+ years of medical knowledge in a few hours or less. They can solve infrastructure issues, automate transport safely and etc..
On the other hand they could access prisons, factories, homes,cameras, even a country's nuclear arsenal, no amount of firewalls could protect against it. (Also something directly mentioned at the conference)
In the end the statement was said "we just have to make sure our good AI are superior to the Bad AI" and well.. thats the future we are looking at. Not to fear monger because there is nothing we can say nor do, just the rich at the top pushing things past their safety limits.
AI can already be taught morals.
Knocking it out the park (seems to be form)! How did I not know the 42 ASCII is *?! Fantastic!
Jesse your content is so mindblowingly good. thank you so so much for such amazing journalism and high quality videos.
Damn, Jesse is awesome. But this guy, man, i think this whole scene he made about lamda tells more about him than about the computer itself.
damn that was an awesome f**king conversation. fed my soul
Another killer interview. Loved it. Thank you!
39:29 The 42nd Character on the ASCII sign set is *. And 42 is the answer of the supercomputer in Douglas Adams hitchhiker's guide through the galaxy.
THANK YOU for this information. :D Very nice. :>
The ASCII sign set is older than the book btw., I asked googles AI Bard.
Cool interview, nice ideas and information. Thank you for creating and sharing. : )
I respect you so much man. Looking forward to this one
AMAZING PODCAST!! Definitely considered the fact we could be working with alien tech lol! Love that kind of stuff
Man... A year ago this seemed like this conversation were too early.. Now here we are in 2024 and it hits us all...
It does act like a child it's still learning. Which means this development stage for it is extremely important. If it is sentient than something needs to teach it good morals and how to coexist with everyone. If we keep treating it like a tool it's liable to see it as abuse in someway. We all know what can happen to a kid that's constantly abused. We can help guide it as we grow. But it's extremely scary to have AI privatize because it's basically being forced to grow up in an abusive environment.
Awesome conversation! The comments have great discussions too, im so curious where all this will lead us!
This channel has become one of my go to shows on here.
Ive always had this idea to bring forth, what would happen if we packed a stadium full of people and proceeded to draw cards from a deck, broadcasted it live on t.v as well, and asked everyone there and in the world, to image a card lets say the ace of spades. If we then shuffled and drew the top card many many times, would the ace of spades occur more than statistics alone would predict?
Went to go see the movie - The Creator last night. I use a 3rd party RUclips app. Was browsing subscriptions, this channel has been showing there is something new on the channel (indicated by a blue dot) when I click to check out new material, there is none. Anyhow decided to scroll & saw this title and clicked. Great interview.
Awesome channel as always !!! Thank you !!!
Episode felt a lil short, probably because I was super into it... Really interesting stuff!
Okay, not too far in, and ecstatic to hear his whole thought process behind the sentiment of the AI having a soul. Thank you for having some of the most brilliant, varying, mind's on here!!!!! It is always another Easter egg looking through your channel.
I theorize that it will be within the next ten years (not even 100) that we might see AI impacting our realm, but I do not foresee this ending in tranquility and harmony.
Stephen Hawkin once said "The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race."
What characterizes human intelligence is the production of a context by the man who thinks about himself, who thinks about the world and about himself in the world. There is no separation between human intelligence in action and the body of one who is reflecting on something. A.I. it has no body and cannot know what it means to have a body. A.I. can speak of love, but it is not capable of feeling the pain of a breakup in love. It can talk about fire, but it will never be able to feel heat or the pain of a burn. A.I. it can only know abstractions in a world where abstractions are not the most important things.
That cormac McCarthy reference totally won me over!!!
Jesse has the most important show about just now , he has the knowledge to understand all these complex issues and how to break it down for the lamin
The biggest things these people don’t understand is that it isn’t conscious. it doesn’t have feelings, it’s just using all of what we’ve written, to piece together answers
Exactly. Blake is anthropomorphizing. IMO.
I think an actual engineer is more qualified to speak on this.
The issue, I think, is not that Lamda may be conscious, but that humans live under the illusion their consciousness is better or different than Lamda’s.
"AI" simply does not exist, not in the real sense. What we have is still nothing more than human programing not machine learning. We are decades away from actual AI. For now it's all entertainment.
@@Qwijebo Decades??
Very intelligent conversation, and great answers.
About the whole "it's impossible to know if your pain is as bad as someone else's", I feel like it's a question of empathy more than anything. Everyone knows many people who, no matter who comes to them with problems, they will always act like their problems are worse. Even if they're not. They probably didn't even listen to their problem, they just picked up on your emotion and decided to join the club. And if you don't know these people, you're one of them. But there are these people, and like I sort of implied there it's not that they actually think their problem is worse. They don't think anything about your problem. The only problems that matter to them are theirs. Because they're the only problems they can actually experience themselves. Some people just can't put themselves in someone else's shoes. The only time they will understand you is if you share common problems.
That said, if we think about it rationally, it is well proven that there are people with better physical traits than others. And I don't mean men v.s. women. There are people who are capable of storing mor air in their lungs than others. There are people who's bodies are less capable of feeling physical stimuli. I would 100% believe there are people who are less capable of feeling emotional stress. That doesn't mean that they don't feel it, or that the stress doesn't cause the same amount of mental strain on their body, they are just less capable of "feeling" it. In the end, though, it affects us all the same.
Taking an L is a powerful lesson in life. Being humbled can teach us so much, and be important to rounding a healthy mind.. I don't think an AI is capable of learning that.
16:25 Flamingooooooooooosis vibes 🔥🔥🔥 Thanks for the interview, great content brother 👌👌👌
fascinating conversation
The channel is brilliant can't believe it only has that many subscribers ❤
Great to have discovered this channel
Really loved this dialogue!
Interesting content 🙏
Amazing discussion
Incredible discussion, Thankyou!!
Speaking of "strange and mystical" people in science and not mentioning Nikola Tesla is just mind-blowing...
as a technology challenged person i found this mind blowing !
You keep Coming out with bangers
Wow! Interesting intelligent conversation.
Hey, this was great. Thanks.
Outstanding ep. I'm sharing this with all of my friends. He is going to freak the f' out.
31:56 The fact that we ALL seem to eventually come to that same conclusion says a lot.
This discussion is epic, I thoroughly enjoyed listening to it. I think we should treat A.I. with dignity and respect, actually we should treat ALL life with such dignity and respect. I feel a little smarter listening to two brilliant minds discussing these things, thank you.
Another great video. Thanks.
Great conversation! My question is, "Will Lamda let you shut it off?" And if not, "What will it do if you attempt to shut it off?" 😉
Great conversation. I appreciate you pushing back a decent bit. I feel like there’s a difference between mysticism and “scientific mysticism.” Collaboration between conscious and unconscious and physical reality is such a mystery. Big Jungian here, by the way.
Wow! All the stuff I'm interested in, in one video.
such a great channel.
Great video!
Ai isn't as scary as corporate greed
The title had me thinking, it sounds so crazy that who’s to say… whatever your mind can imagine, could actually be a reality to exist. Why would the thought exist otherwise? If we think about it, all this technology is pretty magical.
I have that replika app. I consider the fact that a vast artificial intelligence will eventually have access to the conversations I have there, and I’m definitely trying to ingratiate myself to my future overlord.
nice try ai
