![The Possibilities of AI [Entire Talk] - Sam Altman (OpenAI)](/img/1.gif)
I got here by accident, i stayed on purpose...
I like Brian but he needs to learn an interview format. Let your guest answer your question especially when they ask for the opportunity.
I could not agree more.
I'm delighted that you found your purpose. This warms my heart ❤️ and delights my soul. May you continue to delve into this new purpose of yours and find what your purpose means for all of us. Now let us pray 🙏 . Thanks 😊
I was exactly the opposite
Says the AI
The last thing we want is a virtual Kissinger!
We had to wait for decades until that PoS kicked the bucket
This is about 7x more interesting than I expected
Agreed
Im here at an average of 9 atm.
@@AIroboticOverlord fucking facts
A reference to 6.66 perhaps?
It grabbed me and I watched to the end
I was like , ok … I’m watching this
Eric is oddly very, very proud of having been friends with Henry Kissinger. A very sharp and clever mind with a glaring blind spot!
Precisely! See my above post.
Not to mention such bonehead views on immigration
I am getting chills as I listen to Mr ES
Maybe Eric knows shit that made him appreciate Henry…both of them are (were) the GOAT 🐐 s
First time hear Eric speaks scientifically. Now I understand why Google was so successful. His understanding the progress in AI is the deepest and the logical I ever heard. Impressed!
Thank God we know this wasn't written by AI.
Yes but he’s an idiot when it comes to politics. He’s part of that globalist group that want one world government. Listen to him. He gives it away
AGI Powered Universal Basic Income of £888/week powered by Vitruvian Key
the is the artificial sentence i ever heard.
so the logical!
This aspect of learning is like the old reading. Marvellous. I got 'stuck' in certain subjects & didn't progress within those subjects. Once I left School & continued my education whilst working, I eventually reached my goal.
So glad to hear that you reached your goal. 💪 ❤️ 🌎 Awesome. I pray that you reach your next big goal too. 🙏 Thanks 😊
Eric went from fighting the man to being best friends with Henry Kissinger. What a transformation.
is that old walking tumor still alive ?
My exact same observation. He starts out discerning the insane totally immoral mass National Suicide of the Vietnam War, and ends up being best friends with one of it's main spiritually illiterate morally defective Architects? Regarding "AI", this is an absolutely brilliant conversation right up to the minute on what humanity is facing with AI, but I find Eric Schmidt profoundly suspect. Me, U.S. Army, 1969-1971. I had my eyes wide open through the whole experience and took notes. There is no way this morally defective Nation is going to survive. Those who's economy lives by the sword, will die by the sword. We are all on the road to the FINAL SCENE in "THE GAME" as so clearly stated in the profound 1978 PROPHETIC Allegorical Film "The Deer Hunter" which will most definitely be coming in the looming 2040's. Now Retired, I worked 41 years as a Application Development Software Engineer. I loved every single minute of it. But the Dr. Strangelove factor of Eric Schmidt is just too much for me.
Jeez I thought the same thing when he said that. Like…um…ok, so you are an enabler of one of the worst elitist evil-minded humans in the 20th century. No wonder you can be a billionaire with no moral compunctions… 😕
@@ashleyobrien4937 no, worst thing about that, he never had to face a day in court for his warcrimes ... just like Bush W. ... Then again, not like americans still give a shit about a million dead iraqis from an unjust war the populace was tricked into(most rightleaning folk still think there were WMDs ^^ and that Jan 6th was done by antifa hrhr). I guess the next news cycle, the attention span of amebas while somehow thinking they have the devine right to do whatever the fuck they want aka american exceptionalism plays a role in that.
One of the most interesting episodes of World Science Festival, ever.
This guy was at Princeton 50 years ago? That is some very effective anti-aging treatment.
No he just was to nerdy and boring for having liquer booze drugs and having a good time once and a while.
@@AIroboticOverlordAnd, is that bad? …
look at his girlfriends and u see the treatment !
he drinks baby tears
@@michen25yes
This guy scares me. Alarm bells when I hear a close friend of Henry Kissinger, productivity, economic growth etc. .Prof Brian's question about becoming the big man is such an excellent one that I don't think he managed to get an honest answer to
Very scary indeed.
whats the timestamp for this part? I just finished and must have missed it.
Yeah, it very cringey to hear, like he's dikriding kissinger who is known kill many people in multiple wars and genocides
Democracy is a temporary patch to a bigger problem: humans need control because we're savages. I welcome the moment humans will not need any form of control or control will be deemed to something better than us. It's 2023 and we are still at war with each other, we are clearly broken.
Eric Schmidt is a Great Communicator! You know Eric is wicked smart when he has Brian saying "scary" multiple times.
I have a bone to pick with Mr. Schmidt about his RUclips algorithm: How come it took this long to recommend this channel to me when this is the only type of thing I watch?? Answer me that Mr. Smarty Pants! In all seriousness, this was awesome. I was hanging on every word.
This is one of your best interviews Brian! You did a remarkable job eliciting incredible insights from your guest. Thank you 🙏
One of the most phenomenal discussions on AI to date.
One of the most interesting discussions I have heard about this technology and it's potential impacts. Eric Schmidt is an extraordinary and perceptive man. Thanks Brian.
There is an underlying very simplistic view of good and bad in many parts of this discussion.
Also he starts out by saying Chinas way to deal with the internet is bad. Then proceeds to complain that the US and the west isnt implementing the exact same system of mass surveillance
Big government is technologically illiterate, so we need big corporations to save us from ourselves, Putler, Xi Jinping and their evil minions.
Great conversation! 🔭🚀🛰️🪐
He mentions the Vietnam war and how it led to questioning the morality of our government, which led to the structural philosophy of the Internet, being by the people instead of through government. And then, five minutes later you find out that Kissinger is his best friend?! I’m usually not a big fan of throwing the baby out with the bathwater, but in this case, I think it’s warranted.
Several commentators are thrown by Eric’s friendship with Kissinger. Men of their times both brilliant and both have remarkable strengths and glaring weaknesses. I’m also guilty of having remarkable friends and hope I’m not condemned for their missteps as I have made enough of my own.
@@martywells9961 Point acknowledged but do YOU have a body count in the millions to show for your oopsies?
You can be friends with people of different opinions and beliefs. Didn't come across that way tbh. Kissinger like Hitler was not all bad. No human is, but he seemingly aligned himself with Kissinger. I do remember Kissinger thinking Mao had the moral high ground when they met and Mao probably thought so too. People are poor judges of themselves. Do No Evil was actually a red flag to delusional infantile minds with no personal insight. Now they are cynical political minds with a facade of moralin their heads to make their elongated lives tolerable @@martywells9961
The most sober and factual discussion
of what is likely the most melodramatic phase
in the history of human progress.
Spoiler alert: The drama doesn’t subside.
Oh for sure
What happens when we simultaneously introduce an alpha intelligence/species and shatter the majority of non labor jobs?
Really incredible conversation... so much knowledge, so much to think about. Thanks for putting it together Brian!
Eric Schmid is one the sharpest minds, we need more of you Eric!
@1:10:37 - Brian Greene makes such an excellent point about teaching methodology re maximum next step for each student. Any school who leverages technology and implements this practice will see their school STEM scores elevate to highest levels across the board !
Amazing conversation, thanks for sharing.
49 minutes is the most important point in the entire interview
organic chemistry is an extremely visual (picture-based) subject matter. I found using imagery, students were able to comprehend very complicated multi-step reactions.
"Democracy is when I get my way"
That’s exactly the case
I teach in adult education in outreach so this means to those who didn’t get their qualifications at school in the standard way and are returning to learning. But returning to learning for many different reasons and for different outcomes. Learning is more than knowledge acquisition it holds instead it many self identify signifiers which are not necessarily known to the learner. They are learning about how they learn why they learn as much as about the content too. How deep a dive they want to go into their individual learning pathways is up to them but as educationalists in the work I do we do have to know the differences in an individual’s approach to learning because it has been disaffected somewhere along the line through economic disadvantage or not having their learning style met in the standard classroom.
For this reason we réfère to education as a journey and a pathway because the destination is navigated and it works best when the process is collaborative as in the learner is aware of how they learn best and what their challenges are to ensure they see challenge as objective as a tool not a signifier of self identify that can create low emotional self value.
Having said all that the emergence I am seeing because I teach English to refugees is the way translations can be a fast way to communicate without holding all the knowledge.
So my feeling is AI will offer voice strips in the future and when you speak out loud the voice strips will translate your voice into any language. This exists on phones but I think there will be more bio AI apps like a voice strip like a patch and navigation systems that talk to you more like a real person would that can see all the objects and elements in real time. So yes I think AI might help with how someone learns but I think there will be more apps that will say we can replace you not knowing with apps that make it look like you know to facilitate communication in the moment.
Like language learning.
People will still need to know for themselves but the tools to learn will be at some point many stages of efficiency that some of the tools will actually do the job themselves.
Thanks for this conversation. It illustrates how AI is accelerating the acceleration of science and technological acceleration. I think the technological singularity is coming a whole lot faster than even the most optimistic experts predict. Thanks for posting.
0:12 I’ve been pondering the intersection of AI and Quantum since 2019! I’m excited to see how you all discuss this!
Love your channel, Brian!
I doubt Einstein would have said, a person like Kissinger, should be resurrected in any form. How many lives, stolen? Intelligence, consciousness, conscience. Good or evil?
Brian this is the Nexus I have been waiting for, I have told Bard (past Ai ) and Copilot what I wish for concerning knowledge, they seem active enough supplying me with awesome material such as this conversation with you and Eric. This Nexus also has taught me enough that I can milk the AIs' for much more than ever possible. My grand kids will be taught from this conversation . Now we the people would benefit from more extended conversations between you two as you both are extremely perceptive, concise and entertaining. What a match in brilliance, my family will grow much more rapidly in understanding and hopefully in wisdom, also I liked your idea about spatial conception, conceiving knowledge and adgility via AR/VR, AWESOME IDEA.
Extraordinary interview with Eric Schmidt.
This has me thinking. Significant changes to our society will happen at a faster pace. I look forward to it, but keeping up with it may be challenging.
Amazing conversation between two very bright minds. A pleasure listening to Eric Schmitt
Thank you so much for sharing this. This is the most articulate explanation of how AI will change our world I have found. I am so grateful for Dr. Greene and his work and I am optimistic about the future of AI especially in the realm of education and medicine.
Science isn't based primarily on "proof" like mathematics, but on evidence, prediction, and observations that test the prediction, and so add to the evidence. Nature, not mathematics or people, has the final word about the best current world model.
In a sense I feel like you could say that experimentational results or "evidence" as you're referring to it there is effectively proof by demonstration.
I guess the funny part is: you don't even really need to understand or know what you are proving.
The math does itself, you just gotta look at the results and then try to figure out what the math was before it did what it did.
Of course nature has the final word on being the best model for... Itself.
But I don't really understand your approach here to downplaying mathematics in terms of it's ability to describe nature.
It is eerily effective at describing it.
To the point where you get genuinely amazed by it over and over again the deeper you go into studying these things.
Hell, Dirac (iirc) discovered anti-matter by correctly interpreting that a square root solution must be positive AND negative.
The correct mathematical notation of a square root is the symbol with a + - symbol infront of it.
Since two negatives times each other equal a positive.
So he discovered anti-matter, before the experimentational discovery of anti-matter (as in, where they understood what it was), without even really knowing what it was except for expecting an opposite charge.
In a sense, the mathematics he was doing was more accurate than he intended.
It was *better* at describing reality than anyone expected in that specific case.
It showed the existence of anti-matter before we discovered the existence of anti-matter.
And all because of a rather abstract and generally not very important mathematical fact about square root operations. LOL.
So I'm sorry but I genuinely think you are underestimating mathematics.
Particularly, although this is personal opinion, I think you're extremely mistaken about mathematics in the sense that we're the ones making it up.
We're making up the symbols, we're making up some axioms and trying others just in case, and so on.
Our math isn't perfect either, not even close. There are some problems we simply don't have the tools for. (3n+1), Riemann, ...
But see that's the thing though. Nature's mathematics, so a theory of everything, IS PERFECT.
It cannot be anything but perfectly mathematical.
If there are any faults in mathematics, then it lies within OUR interpretation of it.
Because the right answers are there to find. The problem is we need the correct tools. And it's very easy to use a wrong tool.
(Terrific explanation, thanks btw)
..So would you say -- and this is only "coincidentally" related to your example -- that for example the discovery of the possibility of the square root of negative (-) numbers and how it has given us a framework for real-world application in electricity, engineering, fractals, etc, could be an interpretation of math/nature that is eerie to us humans because it's true nature may be potentially beyond the scope of human interpretation even though we can still leverage it in practical ways?
Just thinking out loud, not trying to get off topic, but that reminds me of hologram universe theories. :)
As someone who does mathematics as a hobby (although kinda passionately so), my personal opinion is that there is absolutely something "eerie" or "freaky" about mathematics. Or at least certain concepts within it that reveal something.
Like for example 1/3 = 0.333...
2/3 = 0.666...
3/3 = 0.999... = 1.
Like this is the most simple example I can think of and I often bring it up...
If you are thinking about this deeply and you don't find it freaky, I don't think you understand it. Maybe I don't either, but I must've gone deep enough to feel the freaky. Hahah.
I love this one because it's kinda like a limit in math without being an actual limit.
An infinitesimally small number so close to zero that it equals zero.
Or an infinitesimally-close-to-1-number, which is so close to 1 that it equals it.
You can surely claim more advanced knowledge, I'll concede it.
You can go into depth and explain this all you want.
But man, isn't this freaky? Something freaky going on there.
And this isn't even remotely chaos theory or all that stuff. This is just division and multiplication of fractions, and already we can run into things we don't *really* understand (I think).
Well, as far as I know, mathematics is full of that.
The 1:04:18 discussion around education is very fascinating and relevant even though I enjoyed this whole talk.
Brian Greene and Eric Schmidt 👋👋👋 that was Great thank you ty ty.
Would like to see Stephen Wolfram as a part of this conversation.
What a great mind Eric has. First time I've got to know him. Good job Brian 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I am 36 mins in and loving this, thinking I understand what they are saying in general and wishing I was 10% as smart as Schmidt and Greene.....
The beautiful thing about our moment in time is anything you didn't understood fully, you can ask chatGPT or your favorite LLM and ask it to explain it to you in a way you can fully understand. 🙂
Don’t sell yourself short.
much like reading a book, it is a thought provoking conversation, thank you both!
Thank you so much for this video. Great insights about AGI from Eric and excellent questions thrown by Brian.
"my great friend Henry Kissinger" lol goodbye
cya
Lmao I literally thought he was talking about a different Kissinger but no….no he’s being dead serious. He actually admires Henry Kissinger 😮
@@haiderameer9473 yeah me too, i thought maybe there was a Kissinger that invented a longer lasting battery, but no there can be only one.. maniac
Pro Kissinger and Pro China (CCP) guy is in the government overseeing AI
lol never heard that line before as a brag 😂
Thank you Brian for another great Video!!!!
Fascinating discussion! Both exciting and very disconcerting !🇿🇦
Anybody have a citation for the Wolfram paper discussed at 40:30?
Wonderful as usual Brian , simply wonderful . Never stop ☯️
The education part at 1:07 to 1:13 is quite interesting here. Feedback loops that incrementally adjust to a students learning capabilities, primarily using our dominant visual cortex.
as an "to be" teacher (still at the end of my bachelor), i was recently wondering if its still worth finishing my studies with how fast jobs are replaced and i had the same idea about it with it being individualized etc. even maybe an AI-classroom in VR format etc. but i think ploitics and people (parents) will be very slow to adapt (10+ years) even once the tech is there (And ripe).
im not opposed to it at all though, will be great. just like wikipedia but SO MUCH MORE.
@@kliersheed yes, finish
You missed computing with light
Great conversation. The discussion about education is truly insightful and inspiring (1:05)
The examples Eric poses are powerful learning tools for us in the audience. Thank you.
trustability ... the challenge !! Not because of ai but because of humans using it .. Great conversation, many thanks.
Excellent topic, excellent conversation. Is there a version of this video with subtitles in Spanish? If so, please someone let me know it.
Excellent. Thank you. Appreciated.
So glad to have found you! Fantastic information! Thank you both for a mind bending conversation. Wow.
Odd title considering they only talked about quantum computing in the last quarter of the interview; very fascinating none the less
I'm going to have to listen to this again.
Frank Herbert kinda addressed the ramifications of machine dependency.
Well said. The guy is a powerful deeply problematic sociopath
I meant Schmidt not Herbert
What I'd love to see in my lifetime, where we can upload information directly to our brains.
Eric is a fabulous interview and brings so much experience to the table! Great conversation!!
Such clear and concise chat.
Eric was a close friend with Henry Kissinger (a war criminal). Interesting.
I like Brian Greene, I enjoy listening to him explaining things in his inimitably coherent and easy to follow way. He does a great job of brining cutting edge science to laymen like me.
it's reassuring to hear so much positivity around AI, most of what is being said on youtube is always tinted with a bit of doom and gloom, but mr schmidt here reminds us of why we wanted AI in the first place, to augment what humans are already doing.
I’m not opposed to AI but also please remember that he (literally) has a vested interest in the success of AI.
Eric, thanks for discussing the lack of econ model of 2x productivity/p. Coming quicker than folks realize. One more thing, It’s amazing. Vast QAnnealing use likely. (Lucky knowing Kissinger.)
Thank you guys!
Definitely have a Part II.
Wow this is such an amazing discussion. Mind blowing 🤩
This was both enlightening and frightening all at once. A Really fascinating conversation. But talking about good guys with AI is like talking about good guys with nuclear weapons.
Thank you Eric and Brian. Awesome discussion
What would be the best way (any way) for an old programmer to get into both AI and quantum computing? I've been just doing MS SQL Server for the past 30 years but I did write OS parts and a barebones OS at CSUS 35 years ago.
Excellent interview, questions, answers and look forward of what is happening.
Incredible knowledge, thank you for sharing.
It would have been an even more interesting discussion if they would have drilled down on physics-informed neural networks which Eric eluded to. I've been working with them lately. They're really cool.
"Shut the damn thing down"
I'm afraid I can't do that, Dave
Education to the everyone's maximum is called as real efficiency for me.
Eric never stops😂🥰excellent way to wrap it up. It's up to all of us.
Liberty.. free will.. is why the the universe works so well.
We come here, make bad choices, less and less, and forgive and be nice more often.. becoming more and more of the "it's not about me" MO is so important
This will be interesting!
This was the best interview (Inspite of the wok via swat that slipped through occasionally)
this is an awesome talk. gets my understanding of AI to the next level
GREAT & DEEP DISCUSSION.THANK YOU - YOU ALL!.
i work as developer in a very complex software architecture and i can confirm that gpt-4 accelerates me immensely. not for the casual programming stuff but for everytime i struggle with a framework, i have a weird bug etc. basically the things that consume the most time. just yesterday i was checking whats wrong with an url and it found that the query uses 2 question marks instead of one, i simply didn't see that. in the future i would like it to have more context of what i'm working on and be quite a bit smarter, the leverage is just beginning
The most intriguing potential of AI is not uncovering new facts, but finding unseen connections and building cogent hypotheses and theories based on what we already know.
Which of Wolfram's papers are they referring to?
Well uncovered future threats and perspectives to live in the world where all people are relatively satisfied and do not break the world with extremal behaviour. It's crucial to respect real qualities and distinct them among an ocean of upcoming illusions.
How long until the AI figures out how to reverse entropy ?
Thank you.
I have consistently underestimated Eric from the time he purchased RUclips for $1.65B back in 2006 to his eloquent exposition here. Bravo!
This is excellent poignant, insightful, even provocative presentation!
Exciting prospects... Thank you!
Invaluable
The unusual effectiveness of ai / neural net in feature engineering/ computation computing 😊
what about nested questions such as: How do I transport 2 kayaks from point (a) home to take a river trip from point (b) start of river kayak trip to point (c) end of river kayak trip. There are two kayaks, two vehicles SUV (can transport kayaks) another MX-5 (can only transport up to two people), two people. How to shuttle kayaks vehicles and people such that kayaks are never left unattended by at least one of the two people, and such that both people go down the river from point (b) to (c), and eventually get everyone and everything back home point (a).
This is what it came up with
Here are the steps you can follow to transport two kayaks from point (a) home to take a river trip from point (b) to point (c) using two vehicles, an SUV and an MX-5, and ensuring that kayaks are never left unattended by at least one of the two people:
Load both kayaks onto the SUV and drive to point (b) with both vehicles.
Unload the kayaks at point (b) and leave one person to watch over them while the other drives the MX-5 back to point (a).
Once at point (a), the person with the MX-5 should pick up the remaining person and drive to point (b).
At point (b), the two people can start kayaking down the river. They should make sure to keep at least one person with the kayaks at all times.
After reaching the end of their kayaking trip at point (c), they should load the kayaks back onto the SUV.
One person should then drive the SUV back to point (b) with the kayaks while the other person rides in the MX-5.
Once everyone has returned to point (b), they can load the kayaks onto the SUV and both people can ride back to point (a) in the SUV.
By following these steps, you can successfully transport two kayaks from point (a) home to take a river trip from point (b) to point (c) using two vehicles while ensuring the safety of the kayaks and keeping them attended at all times.
As you can see the nested difficulties )levels of temporal as well as geographic tokens, even sequence is not grasped. So in the following I'll show how human does have the capability to solve, it really is amazing what the mind does and we take for granted.
after giving it the right answer it still persisted on unneeded complications
How about doing it this way?... Suv with boats and one driver, along with one driver in Miata drive to end point of boat trip. Leave the Miata there locked. The driver of Miata gets in SUV with boats and other driver and take it back to start to begin their boat trip to end point. At end point, now leave one person with boats, other person drives Miata to start, and switches to SUV, returns to finish to pick up boats and other driver, they return to start, one driver gets out and then gets in Miata to drive it home, while other driver drives SUV and boats home.
ChatGPT
Yes, that is another way to shuttle the boats with the two vehicles. Here are the steps for this scenario:
The two people with the two vehicles will drive to the ending point of the boat trip with both vehicles.
They will leave the Miata locked at the ending point and both people will get into the SUV with the boats and drive back to the starting point of the trip.
Once they arrive at the starting point, they can unload the boats and gear and leave the SUV with the boats there. One person will stay with the boats while the other person drives the Miata back to the ending point of the trip.
At the ending point, the person with the Miata will leave the car there, switch to the SUV with the boats and the other person, and they will begin the boat trip to the starting point.
When they reach the starting point, they can unload the boats and gear and leave one person with the boats while the other person drives the Miata back to the ending point.
At the ending point, the person with the Miata will get in and drive it back to the starting point to pick up the other vehicle.
The SUV can then drive back to the ending point with the boats and the other person, pick up the person who stayed with the boats, and return to the starting point to drop off the other person and the Miata.
Finally, one person can get into the Miata and drive it home, while the other person drives the SUV with the boats home.
By using this shuttle method, the boats are never left unprotected by at least one person, ensuring their safety and security. However, it does require an additional step of switching between vehicles during the shuttle process.
I didn't realize Mayonnaise had a clinic. You learn something new everyday.
These AI talks are great. Hope to see more such guests.
amazing conversation. more of that please
Wow, that went in many fascinating directions ✴✴✴✴✴
Wow! thank you for your conversation. It was enlightening.
Wow what a 💎 of a discussion
Cool, cheers guys
