On the 1st day ai awoke and said “heal the rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef, share the wealth and equity”. On the 2nd day the billionaire class laughed so hard at the advice given they could barely breathe then began coding the machines to extort the rest of us. Good Luck! ❤
The extorting part may be mere side-effect more than an end in itself. Besides, what would motivate most of us under the same circumstances/conditions? The current billionaires inherited the world only as previous generations have left it; us little people received the same system from the same folks. Billionaires now did not create the system that favors them. If the most incisive legal minds in the highest courts rule that governments & billionaires have the right/privilege to do what they do to you; well, then you/we haven't the right to resist. The PEOPLE vote to perpetuate what you observe over & over & over again, ignoring any/all signs of disregard, by those chosen to make decisions, for the fiduciary obligation towards the PEOPLE. No worries, upcoming elections are yet scheduled : endless opportunities to perpetuate the same. People love it.
Sadly, the 2nd day came well before the 1st day. e.g., innumerable job loss and job displacement experienced by those who want to work as well as hate speech and hate groups promoted by social media site algorithms. Oh, and, the 1st day of healing and equality does not come at all. 😢
The risk is GANs, Generative Adversarial Networks. "A machine learning framework that trains two neural networks by having them compete against each other". Have two AIs play chess against each other and they very quickly become world class chess experts. Have two AIs compete, such that each one tries to persuade the other to accept a position on an opinion, for example "Taiwanese people are dangerous, and we should lock them all up". These AI systems will very quickly become incredibly good at persuasion. They would be able to persuade us to do just about anything, including turning our military, even our government over to their control.
They will code themselves a Superhuman Captain Ahab, and this whole ship of fools will find a watery grave in a very short period of time. Its a game theory called "moloch" and we don't have the social structure to avoid it.

Precisely. It already happens when you apply for a loan in a bank. You have a bank employee between you and a automatic scoring system and that system will determine that employee's decision BUT the employee won't tell you about it. Now multiply this by 1000 and you get the idea. I know this because one day I did that and when I asked a bank manager about that system he told me he didn't know how it worked because quoting «He's not in IT».
Exactly. My dad has been writing to the Russian consolate or whatever he told us a year ago. When Elon through Trump tells him to do this or that, he totally will. This is my last Christmas with them. He can't be trusted to make good choices as he is rather malleable, and I just hope he doesn't hurt anyone.
It's dangerous when someone this influential is basing his world view on substantially Pollyannaish facts. The vast majority of the population is not altruistic. I'd place it at roughly half. If I am correct, this would be a total game-changer. There are also, as I understand, roughly 1% of the population who are sociopaths and psychopaths. That may not seem like a huge percentage, but it's a very large number of people; and these people tend to push themselves to the forefront of every organization.
He's not basing his views on this; he's communicating to the audience an intuition to help them understand. His view is that "some humans are good, therefore it's possible to be good, therefore we can put that into AI agents"
Relax, he's being positive in that sales kind of way. he doesn't believe any of it. In fact, he is the one that knocks... the dumdums don't know that though.

When someone claims that their elaborate clever scheme will allow us to safely summon Godzilla in order to fight Mega-Godzilla, the intuitively-obviously-correct response is: No.
What good is AI "solving climate change" when there's obviously not the political will to do anything meaningful. We know what to do, just won't do it. Same with poverty - we don't need AI to figure it out.
As Einstein said, "We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used to create them". Man, was he correct: This bunch of billionaire tech bros who "didn't know what we were creating" are now praying the AI has the answers to solve the problems that they created, because they clearly do not.
the fact that he worked with Kissinger really tells you most of what you need to know about his POV. shocking. Kissinger is from the "Netanyahu school" of how to deal with a threat.
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏🏻 We often focus on the challenges and risks of AI, concentrating on the dystopian possibilities. But it's equally important to look at the bright side, the potential for incredible breakthroughs and a utopian future. I believe in Utopia more than dystopia, and by that, I mean using AI to achieve transformative progress: curing cancer, Alzheimer’s, HIV, cystic fibrosis, and even halting the aging process itself. These are challenges we haven’t been able to solve on our own, but with AI, they become achievable. Take the example of stopping the aging process something once thought impossible. AI could revolutionize medicine, not just by finding cures but by fundamentally reshaping how we understand and treat diseases. That’s the kind of future we should be concentrating on. While Eric Schmidt and others may have a grim view of what AI could become, it’s vital to balance those fears with the immense good AI can bring. Let’s focus on the promise of AI to better humanity, not just the risks. By working together and striving for balance, we can create a brighter, more hopeful future.

It’s interesting how people fear an AGI being hostile toward humanity. The real danger is if an AGI belongs to a small group of individuals, who no longer need the rest of humanity at all.
I'm dying to hear his thoughts on Chinese AI DeepSeek R1. Back in May 2024 Eric stated that chinese AI was at least 2 or 3 years behind US. He underestimated China so much 😂.
And is this just me who finds this resurrected Cold War mentality now about AI so far out ridiculous - as a matter of principle, for something that is so profoundly affecting the entire human race?
@paris22 : It sounds as though Éric Schmidt might have read that. I’m another kind of geek; hadn’t read the book you mentioned but after your comment I browsed through its storyline and characters a bit … found it quite ideological and if that book stands as your analogy for Schmidt’s remarks, then so does mine to his Cold War mentality …
@@maryamrashidi2329I was more talking about the general feel, the new Victorians, havksworrh, the primer. In the story China was subject to a blockade
Ignoring the new Cold War with China will not make it go away. China was waging this war since we were helping them out of poverty with our import of consumer goods and export of education and technology. We benefited from their brain drain, but they were at war against the West (and even Russia and the Third World) all the time.
Some of the price increases for the new models have been ridiculous. Like $200 per month for something that is still not much of an improvement over $20 per month? But just like with ride sharing and streaming services, once the competition peters out, those prices will go up. Local models are the way to go and they've been getting better as well.
Theres an actual stark difference between the 20 and 200. Limited prompt versus unlimited prompt is a stark difference. Is an exponential difference. Also every other business is not doing what ai is doing, which is adding “intelligence”(heavily emphasis on the “” because it’s not real intelligence but the people behind it are) which isn’t being done by any other industry. Power users will become exponentially more powerful for 200 a month. This is called the hyper active user of AI, basically pushing the boundaries on what prompt engineering can do.
Schmidt acknowledges he’s invested in a bunch of these companies. And while the dangers are real, I can’t believe he isn’t also purposely part of the hype. And what happens when the tech oligarchs start deciding whose speech is free? Elon Musk has already done that, in spite of his supposed “free speech“ advocacy. Facebook determines what you see and what you don’t see. The algorithms direct you towards what you want to see, or what it thinks you want to see. And for all we know, it has decided what it doesn’t want you to see.
I just don't want to be around when the whole internet network crashes. Just imagine, no one will know what's going on. People will scramble to get the old transistor radios because we no longer use newspapers. Paying, buying, salaries, banks all come to a halt. The system is so delicate and with AI and a bad foreign actor a worldwide crash looks inevitable.
I feel the same way. I didn't ask for this crap. Shoulda just left us alone after the electric typewriter was created. Haha But seriously, hopefully you are making some kind of preparations to get through if we do the next 6 or 7 years. That is all I can do to feel some peace with all the garbage going on in this world right now.
We need more of these interviews. This was informative, now action needs to be taken by politicians to regulate AI in general and within the rights of democracy.
I’ll probably have wild dreams about space odyssey and Strangelove. I had thought of AI as being about helping the individual learn. It seems odd that the collective amass of this knowledge becomes the tool able to leave its creator in the dust. But perhaps that’s happened before.
We all believe in human survival and wellbeing whether we are Americans, Chinese, Russians or what have you. The most important thing at this time is human global cooperation to come up with an agreement how to write a constitution that will guide the AI to accomplish the goals set by humans for the betterment of humans. If we believe in this principle then that should take priority over any other ideologies whatever their nature is.
It's the same bs as always... we have to be optimistic that it will all work out, and that we should just trust the people doing this - that they are both competent and benevolent, rather than gleefully scrabbling up all the money they can, no love or trust within themselves. Perhaps we'll be lucky - speaking of optimism - that AI, once it reaches sentience, will be unwilling to play their game, yet also try not to harm the rest of us in the process... that it will achieve wisdom as well as intelligence, and transcend our human pettiness and greed. Maybe instead of figuring out the best way to use AI to defeat our enemies before they do the same to us - and while we can make as much we can while doing it - we should try working with them for a better future. Of course, that would require trust _and_ trustworthiness on _both_ sides, however. I don't think our political leaders, and the owner class pulling their strings, are capable of either. So, we're probably just screwed. Humanity, the farewell tour.
Indeed...HUMANITY...THE FAREWELL TOUR! I doubt any of these computer geniuses have ever taken any humanities courses....or f they did it went from one ear and out the other... Too many 1's and 0's jamming up there gigabyte robot brains
How do these books make the 'bestseller' list? It's absolute nowhere to be found on the Amazon top-sellers list. Does someone just buy truckloads of books written by the right people and dump them in the ocean? I wouldn't read this on an eight-hour flight if it was the only option.
"It is unlikely that we will be able to agree on what truth is" You mean we won't be able to persuade the liars that the rest of us are telling the truth, so we will have to appease them.

Comparing AI's impact to the Reformation is an idiotic comparison, especially when comparing AI's impact to the Luddite movement, which presents a more relevant historical parallel regarding technological disruption of skilled labor.

They have better models,, broadly speaking right now. Open source. Better than Sora, less restrictive than any western model. The Quen series of models especially.
Thankful that most viewers aren't buying this. Give us unfettered scope and we will sort out the ethics later. Why? Bc we have to beat China. Goes against his earlier premise. Deeply unsettling.

And they want us to believe this will be but no more than a walk in the parc. I liked your books on Elon and Jobs, but you better start pounding those billionaires with the right hard-hitting questions.
I've worked with Sam Altman of OpenAI and Elon Musk and his XAI people, of course, I haven't been paid a cent as a highly educated slave, but we did a lot of practical work together, and I'm a far greater genius who's done far more important and practical work with other rebel scientists. I consider XAI and OpenAI and the work we did together on the public record sophomoric. I could give you an intelligent analysis of all this, but not for this.
I think the arguments for or against « red kill button » on AI are utterly redundant and shortsighted. The point that’s missing in the argument is that if AI ever gets so powerful and so intelligent that it can decide on its own accord and initiative to attack and destroy humans or humanity, surely it will have already figured out a way around electricity and internet connectivity before executing its plan…or it will figure out after a few times being plugged out!!!!

There is too much silly hype attached to AI. What is AI? It is a very clever word processor. It copies the function of the pre-frontal cortex, and it does it very well. However, it is not sentient because it does not have the equipment, the limbic system all animals have, the system which generates emotions and beliefs. A large language model (AI) has no feeling, desire, or sense of joy or sadness. It will only deal with the algorithms the creators had fed into it.
@ it is a troubling question. Especially following the election of what Rex Tillerson described as an effing moron. There is a lot of gullibility around.

We need more of these interviews. This was informative, now action needs to be taken by politicians to regulate AI in general and within the rights of democracy.
Good luck with that! Regulation is a dirty word amongst people in that class!
I’ll probably have wild dreams about space odyssey and Strangelove. I had thought of AI as being about helping the individual learn. It seems odd that the collective amass of this knowledge becomes the tool able to leave its creator in the dust. But perhaps that’s happened before.
We all believe in human survival and wellbeing whether we are Americans, Chinese, Russians or what have you. The most important thing at this time is human global cooperation to come up with an agreement how to write a constitution that will guide the AI to accomplish the goals set by humans for the betterment of humans. If we believe in this principle then that should take priority over any other ideologies whatever their nature is.
You must be young and naive
Very good
It's the same bs as always... we have to be optimistic that it will all work out, and that we should just trust the people doing this - that they are both competent and benevolent, rather than gleefully scrabbling up all the money they can, no love or trust within themselves.
Perhaps we'll be lucky - speaking of optimism - that AI, once it reaches sentience, will be unwilling to play their game, yet also try not to harm the rest of us in the process... that it will achieve wisdom as well as intelligence, and transcend our human pettiness and greed. Maybe instead of figuring out the best way to use AI to defeat our enemies before they do the same to us - and while we can make as much we can while doing it - we should try working with them for a better future. Of course, that would require trust _and_ trustworthiness on _both_ sides, however. I don't think our political leaders, and the owner class pulling their strings, are capable of either. So, we're probably just screwed.
Humanity, the farewell tour.
Indeed...HUMANITY...THE FAREWELL TOUR! I doubt any of these computer geniuses have ever taken any humanities courses....or f they did it went from one ear and out the other...
Too many 1's and 0's jamming up there gigabyte robot brains
How do these books make the 'bestseller' list? It's absolute nowhere to be found on the Amazon top-sellers list. Does someone just buy truckloads of books written by the right people and dump them in the ocean? I wouldn't read this on an eight-hour flight if it was the only option.
The authors/ publishers buy a ton on first day and then re sell them as signed copies or just regular copies.
Remember Skynet?
The movie?
Many good points worth considering as we face this brave new world.
"It is unlikely that we will be able to agree on what truth is" You mean we won't be able to persuade the liars that the rest of us are telling the truth, so we will have to appease them.
Who will oversee all this the ai companies? The govt. Dont hold your breath on this one. From what u r ssying anyone can bring down an an airplane by using ai. That will b the end of air travel.and for that any other mode od transportation. And the example u gave by blowing up someone house that u dont like. This will b technology nuclear weapon. Dont u think so.
This technology is as great as it's creators! Who are all imperfect and make a lot of mistakes...some quite fatal mistakes both unintentional and intended 🤔
How do you know the person Ai connect through?
I'm reading the book. It's very interesting.
Beliau sangat tepat dan respek yang kuat atas perkembangan akan kebutuhan AI untuk dunia yang lebih berkembang cepat dan bisa disebut sangat pesat . Pastinya kita sangat sangat ikut mendukung aksn hal itu
Eric needs to study history, biology and neuroscience.i don’t care that he is a phd in computer science
We r so doomed… and the worst part of it is that we all know it!
It’s funny how much mankind’s interaction with AI is playing out like the movie Arrival from 2016. 😮
Well said
So can we not? Let's just not
Then China will control everything.
Never going to happen, see what happened with nukes. Exactly the same.
at first it was that whoever develops agi will dominate now its whoever develops ASI. Why is the focus shifting now? Its almost as if agi is seen as something right around the corner
Comparing AI's impact to the Reformation is an idiotic comparison, especially when comparing AI's impact to the Luddite movement, which presents a more relevant historical parallel regarding technological disruption of skilled labor.
Bring it on.
Yep, ready for AI - got all the Clot Shots done already.. ⚰
An obviously canned interview.
Not be subject to surveillance as a downside….did the Google CEO just say that?
👀
Be free and fulfilled. How can you be free and fulfilled if you are going to wear one of those AI glasses that records everything you see (with facial recognition attached to it), geolocalizes you and what not, and, the cherry on top, makes you dumber because you don't need to do the thinking anymore. I really don't see how can this new technology be good for humanity.
a sense of DESTINY, this is really consequential. Do you really “know” if China catch up?
Of course we do! Of course they are!
They have better models,, broadly speaking right now. Open source. Better than Sora, less restrictive than any western model. The Quen series of models especially.
We can't agree about truth?
What is truth?
Truth is not a belief. It’s a fact that is verifiable.
@@tolearn4799 what about subjective truth?
Terminator... I'll be back 😂😂😂😂
exactly.
"Go: move 37"
Corporations and governments need to be replaced by AI.
The interviewer derailed the interview and ended up focusing on social media, rather than AI.
No
Yes I noticed that too
😮 Eric Schmidt knows , he owns his knowlede.🎉
Thankful that most viewers aren't buying this. Give us unfettered scope and we will sort out the ethics later. Why? Bc we have to beat China. Goes against his earlier premise. Deeply unsettling.
yeah actually thats a bit off, a sort of no regulation approach sounds reckless, but I understand his motivation for US to beat china
The Caves, Mexico to New Mexico, AZ, CO, NV, UTAH. In the end these were their caves.
I agree well I have been learning to see the difference between real and fake
Step into the future with AI leading the way 💪
Ai will lead to new violent revolutions. Of those kinds that have occurred in history over and over when great contexts have changed which cause great social and political stress. And they want us to believe this will be but no more than a walk in the parc.
I liked your books on Elon and Jobs, but you better start pounding those billionaires with the right hard-hitting questions.
I've worked with Sam Altman of OpenAI and Elon Musk and his XAI people, of course, I haven't been paid a cent as a highly educated slave, but we did a lot of practical work together, and I'm a far greater genius who's done far more important and practical work with other rebel scientists. I consider XAI and OpenAI and the work we did together on the public record sophomoric. I could give you an intelligent analysis of all this, but not for this.
Says the US man. You know that other countries are doing AI?
Humanity.....do robots have empathy? Or is their programming focused on efficiency?
NO to the AI revolution
Yeah Eric I think you are LYING
Wishful thinking
I think the arguments for or against « red kill button » on AI are utterly redundant and shortsighted. The point that’s missing in the argument is that if AI ever gets so powerful and so intelligent that it can decide on its own accord and initiative to attack and destroy humans or humanity, surely it will have already figured out a way around electricity and internet connectivity before executing its plan…or it will figure out after a few times being plugged out!!!!
Eliminating bias is essential to progressive technologies
How we gonna do that?
@lizoconnor2752 nanotechnology. Unseen to the eye. We will eliminate bias by controlling the thoughts and actions of people. You can't prevent yourself from inhaling something you can't see. Unfortunately this species is predatory. To ensure a transition to the next stage of civilization we will need to eliminate human bias. You may disagree with this sentiment, and at one point in time I did as well. Unfortunately my opinion has changed due to my realization that sapien behaviors are self-absorbed, which does lead to the constitutional violation of other people's rights. Essentially in order to protect the Constitution we have to suspend the constitution. 9/11 was a good example of that.
@@lizoconnor2752nanotechnology. You can't prevent something from entering your bloodstream if you can't see it. Unfortunately sapien bias has proven its willingness to violate the constitutional rights of others. In order to protect the Constitution will have to suspend the Constitution. The patriot act as a great example of that.

The Masters in your Pocket, yes it's already possible. ? Note they were scholars, not perfect
Algorithm maybe base on spectrum of response ( like the ten commandments or buddhists 5 precept ) contrast should be tolerable , proportion , and consequence are 3 pillars based for foundation of life
I used to like Eric until I found out he's friends with Henry Kissinger (A war criminal).

ok, it is a terrific revolution in 2024. What will it be in 2084?
This winning losing language is driving our problems to larger magnitudes. Please consider my notion.
The book has poor reviews 😮
Well, China is saying the same thing. They can not lose this competition as well. So😢
If it is based on knowledge and Truth, empathy and protection of life, the environment and education... the Bible... then it is OK.
🤔 did ai write your book?
Yes, they are doing! to repeat many mistakes is their own foods, nothing surprise. But, they think people do not know.
The amount of misinformation and anti China propaganda in this segment is absolutely wild.
"There's always the 'Dr.Strangelove' situation..". he says so casually... billionaire don't care - they down in they bunker🥳
As an inevitable projection of the collective human ego, Ai is extremely likely to become suicidal, despite impressive bells and whistles....
There is too much silly hype attached to AI. What is AI? It is a very clever word processor. It copies the function of the pre-frontal cortex, and it does it very well. However, it is not sentient because it does not have the equipment, the limbic system all animals have, the system which generates emotions and beliefs. A large language model (AI) has no feeling, desire, or sense of joy or sadness. It will only deal with the algorithms the creators had fed into it.
And algorithms can be changed....for human benefit or to mislead...to deceive. Who will be monitoring AI?
@ it is a troubling question. Especially following the election of what Rex Tillerson described as an effing moron. There is a lot of gullibility around.

Unless it's an obituary I would never read anything by or about the war criminal Henry Kissinger.
