also yes I am aware of the irony of posting this the day after the GPT-4 announcement, especially since I fully plan to put out a GPT-4 explainer video next week 😅
tl;dr - welcome to the new age

That is what I call being disruptive and innovative!
Counterpositioning 😁
Excited for what's next!! Creators are always at their best following their passions
Looking forward to GPT-4 explainer vid next week.
Hey, Jordan! I’m a savant artist who can draw perfectly sideways automatically and I’m now building something for the ML community with my dataset. I broke male dominance of small scale mental rotation tasks and it would be rad if you delved into that. I do the most complex mental rotation task and I probably use the “inferior” mental strategy. You should look into it.
As someone who watches a lot of AI content, I am actually super excited for this new chapter. There are many channels at this point which talk about the technical aspects of AI and I am super happy about that, but I am looking forward to seeing you cover a critical area that I rarely see videos about here on youtube.
"I'm interested in whether AI can design a better wig" Thanks for sharing your interests; this is such an interesting question. To connect it to your future interests here, not only how AI would accomplish this, but to also explore hearing from actual users' experiences. Just learned that Parfait is doing this; opens up a possibility for interesting convos. I'd love to see your presentation of such a topic.
Parfait is actually the company I'm planning to use!
@@JordanHarrod Fantastic -- their founding team is impressive. Looking forward to that!
+1 person excited about hair interview
I love this direction, very excited, so happy for you to get back to the subjects close to your heart ❤️
The AI vibrator video sounds really interesting, I’m looking forward to it
This is my first video of yours but such an integrity move, I'm looking forward to what you do next :)
"Being a person in an increasingly AI world" is by far my biggest concern about AI, honestly
Of course I'll keep watching! You have literally made topics that I previously found extremely boring very accessible to me. Excited to see whatever you do next!
Im a CS major in my junior year as an undergrad and like a lot of the stuff you're talking about here has been on my mind a lot. Like all of the modern stuff in the tech industry is super demoralizing for someone like me who wants to use data and computers to actually help people. I'm applying for jobs right now and everything is either a financial firm and I'm like "I want to make people's lives better not make a companies profits higher". I'm wondering whether I picked the wrong career path in this. So thank you for this I really wanna see where you take the channel next because using AI to help people is what I want.
That's not really limited to CS, that's a capitalism problem. You can try looking at non profits that align with your interests though, CS talent is needed everywhere
Stay true to yourself Jordan! Looking forward to watching your channel evolve.
I am very interested in seeing more about the ethics and implications of AI in general and not just language models! I'm very excited about this.
I do have a nebula subscription, but I find I don't use it much! The biggest issue is not being able to create custom playlists! I want to be able to bookmark certain videos for research projects, for quotations, or just ot rewatch them later.
The "watch later" list is ok - but I use that more to queue up new videos - unless a creator has made their own playlists, there's no good way for me to binge watch someone new.
Could you put a word in someone's ear about this? :)
Can do! And you're not the only person who has asked for custom playlists - it's pretty common feature request. These conversations/feature requests often happen on r/nebula so I'd also recommend checking out the subreddit!
Looking forward to the new content! We all want to see what you’re interested it!
I love this direction! The content will benefit from your renewed focus on channel purpose & direction. Cant wait to see what you create!
As someone who has watched, lurked and not commented before, I'd like to say that I am interested in the direction the channel will be going in 👍
It's wild that I just found your channel, because I am interested in the exact things that you said you will be pivoting back to. Yay, I'm excited!
I'm excited for this change!
Jordan! Your videos are incredible, I started watching after the Tom Scott plug. Thanks for elucidating the world of ML and I’ll definitely keep watching!!
In general, I agree.
One thing I was thinking about recently, is in a sci-fi story I was working on, there was a concept for a sort of "approximate" mind uploading, where the idea is that rather than directly trying to copy or emulate a person's original brain (at the level of individual neurons), it instead basically uses a process resembling a controlled seizure (suppressing and stimulating various points on the brain and then recording what happens across the entire cortex) and then makes a high-resolution recording of all of the activation patterns. From there, it takes a "generalized" model of a human brain (with some parts replaced with hard-wired nets and more conventional algorithms), and then trains it to emulate the various patterns when given the same inputs, and then (somehow) gets a facsimile of the original person (with it being still debatable in story whether they are a continuation of the original person, or merely an AI based mimicry).
In this case, the uploaded minds are then generally put into robotic bodies to carry on "living" (and the process is done, say, when a person is already basically at the end of their natural lifespan).
I am left to wonder if this is sufficiently realistic to be considered as "plausible" for something set in the late 21st century.
As I see it, directly copying a whole brain at the level of individual neurons seems implausible though (the memory and computational requirements for something like this seem like a bit of a stretch, ... "slice and scan" seems a bit too involved, ...).
Any thoughts?...
I love this direction. I'm going into Data Science as a political scientist, focusing on people analytics and data ethics. I want to interrogate algorithmic bias in AI applications and force a change in those designing them to think of what training data their using to train their models and their possible consequences.
One researcher to another, I'm really excited to hear that you're pivoting the channel in a direction you find more personally rewarding and less taxing. I can't wait to see what you have in store.
At 4:30 "I'm interested in how to be a person in a world of AI". I hope you use that as your mission statement for this channel. I've been thinking about that a lot but not come to any conclusions. For me, your channel just got a lot more interesting. Thank you in advance for keeping us informed.
As someone who also studied ML as a tool for improving healthcare (a labmate actually worked on MRI superresolution as a tool to improve accessibility) and feels likewise checked out from the deluge of LLM news, this video really resonated with me. I'm glad you want to shift to a more novel direction, because I don't feel like there's enough content about ML/DL outside of the mainstream topics du jour on the platform! Just one vote of confidence for what it's worth.
I find this to be much more interesting and perhaps more important content. Excited for your musings.
“How to be a person in the world of AI.” Perfect, I want that.
I appreciate this direction. I learn a lot from your content/explainations.
i think a sociology + Comp sci AI merging is a unique and sorely needed niche on youtube. I'm a poli sci/ philosophy student and the #1 most frustrating part of my major so far has been how little practical applicability all of the writings of these "great thinkers" has been.
Philosophy would be totally transformed, if we encountered an alien civilization. Instead now we can "communicate" and interact with machine entities that are much more knowledgeable and intelligent than humans in many fields, but represent a (data) mirror of pre-existing experience.
Metaphorically, the books have learned to talk.
A new recursiveness, symbiosis or feedback loop has appeared. The topic a philosopher does actively explore, learn, develop, argue, doubt, affirm, describe... can now actively do all those things itself.
I also used to think I was interested in AI for improving cancer detection and MRIs and all sorts of noble endeavors but then I realized that basically no one in my family or the rest of my life could afford these treatments, a feeling which has only deepened over the last decade, and so I stopped caring about improving outcomes for the upper-classes who already have everything. Sure, I could afford these treatments, should I need them someday, but I had to abandon the fantasy that I was making life better in any measurable way for anyone but the selected few, or that anything I was working on would, not COULD in an ideal world I don't live in, but would improve health or happiness or access to dignity for the average person. It is a fantasy.
This is so interesting. I'm someone who is actually deciding to pivot from what I thought I wanted to do (medicine) to tech/AI because I want to improve the world using technology, and I believe in its potential. But you raise an amazing point about who exactly will have access to this kind of technology in the first place.
Something to really think about...
Love the idea of more human centered AI! Do what you like, and I believe the audience will engage with your own enthusiasm and interest!
Follow your bliss, Jordan. The idea of how humans work in an AI world is definitely a great topic, and things like MidJourney and ChatGPT are indictations that things are really going to change for a lot of people. I look forward to hearing your opinions, as always.
Every channel is unique. When it comes to AI, I only follow you and Robert Miles and you two are very different but I'm equally interested in both channels.
Hello Jordan, love your videos, i am interested in the books on your shelf, is there a video about it already?
I think it's a brilliant idea, "how to be human in a world of AI." I'm very interested in exploring it.
Kudos for stepping back and recentering on what brought you into the field to start with. For what it's worth, I think the world needs a lot more daily-human-life-centric AI discussion.
Having seen a lot of channels do this sort of thing, here are some expected and unexpected things to look out for:
- Obviously, as you move away from what the algorithm is driving, you'll see fewer views.
- Those of us that are regular viewers, however, will pick up on you being happier with your content, and paradoxically, the comments will become more supportive and positive.
- The combination of these might feel like gaslighting.
The Al that had been hoping for years is one that can help me write longer complex documents by asking me questions to help supplement my trouble working memory.
Very honestly, I think I'll be more interested in what you're talking about than what I've been seeing, so I am *very* down for this
"Jordan and the AI Wig" sounds like a great title for a picture book.
I'm kind of there with you. As a user, I'm kind of tired of hearing about language models too. They're great tools and are going to have major impact, but not every outlet needs to pivot to being a gpt explainer.
I clicked looking for a podcast about AI, and this was even better news than I expected! I'd listen to uncut interviews with enthusiasm, or they could go on Nebula too... gl 👍
Ah yes, I'm actually super excited that you're going to tackle being human in the time of AI. It'll be such an interesting topic and sure to get a lot of traffic if done well.
Video about future coders becoming manual-labour technicians?
yes help me learn to be a person. im serious
What a coincidence, I am also very interested in a human first portrayal and investigation of ai systems
I think the RUclips algorithms are starting to favor your channel for some reason. Just FYI, this might be your best chance to grow your channel exponentially.
I'm sorry you aren't interested in large language models. They're very interesting
