This is the video everyone needs to see and understand. No matter if they're 20, 30 or some other age. The younger, the better, but it's never too late.
Younger the better? Meh, don't really know about that. Kids tend to have pretty immature and uninformed approaches to self learning. And let's be honest true talent is not something that can be taught. I know someone who started painting in her 50's and improved incredibly fast, she's now pretty famous. I spent about the same span of time trying to make it as an artist in my youth. I improved EXPONENTIALLY as an adult because I was able to bring real life experience to the table. Children are of course peurile and will not take the pursuit as seriously in most cases.
I also don't think neuroplasticity really matters as much as people claim.
@@aithjawcraig9876 I meant earlier in the adult phase. That's why I also mentioned "understand"
Hear hear.
Thank you for staying real
But this is the video that NOBODY and the very few that see only a few understands.
To me the biggest shame is people giving up on making art because of AI. Please keep making art!!
I was one of those people, but I’ve realized I should be making the art for my own enjoyment
I'm actually making some, it's not what you'd expect though
@@lethalfumes do it for ur self
Ai art is lacking. It lacks passion and soul. Creativity, individual expression, and meaning.
I personally don't like it.
yeah i make it for my own enjoyment, to experiment, to learn and share
Bjorn, I'm with you ... and Ralph Waldo Emerson. I'm a 77 year old 'boomer', and have spent the bulk of my life outdoors. Even now, my home is on wooded property. We have a visiting bear; many deer, some foxes, rabbits, a weasel, visiting Coyotes, and I've counted about thirty varieties of birds. I am content with my life. Thank you for your videos, I find them comforting.
I just reread self-reliance. This world needs that book now more than any other time.
I dream of owning a home on wooded land. But that seems impossible in Canada with home prices
I have to agree with you both.

@vincentboisvert4673 Agree , How are the younger couples going to buy they're first house.
The propertys I purchased years ago for 58K Im now selling for 580K

I am a medical translator/interpretor. It's taken me more than a decade to feel relatively comfortable translating medical text of all kinds and levels of complexity. If I'd known that machines would be taking over my profession I'd never have taken this very difficult and financially unsatisfactory path. At 48 I feel unemployable and pretty much a failure. I'm thinking of moving abroad and just taking any job, preferably in the countryside, I'm so sick and tired of the world we live in.
Almost everyone is sick and tired of the world we're living in right now. Everyone but all the people making obscene profits at the expense of humanity and the planet.
Please don’t feel like a failure. You chose what you thought was a reasonable choice at the time. No one can predict the future, esp now. You are still young with a lot on life and choices ahead on you. Stay connected to your heart, that is what counts, you will learn to respect your decisions that way.
Best of luck in the future.
Hang in there
I’m 51 and am in a similar position
I am 45 and did learn programming the hard way for the last 13 years. I see that I will be useless in about 5 years. But what I also learned the hard way is, that I can learn something new and maybe do a job that fulfills me more and helps other people. and not everything will be replaced by AI. Otherwise humanity would become completely useless and pointless. And one last thought on AI.. currently it's on the exponential rise, and every exponential comes to an end. Thats a law of nature.
I'm 18 and a part of Gen-z. I often find it hard to connect to my contemporary coevals as our values often don't align if they aren't dumbed down by social media to the extent of not forming values to begin with. I value nature and freedom of expression, and art is one of those forms of expression. The thought of out-sourcing the expression of your persona to AI, LLM's, and similar concepts just destroys my soul. I hope one day in the future when everything is faked by AI, the stuff that's proven to be real and forged by human hand will skyrocket in value. I sincerely hope one day people will overcome their programmed laziness and find a creative outlet for the stresses of modern day society.
Wise! Perfect your craft!
Beautiful words ❤
"I was born in the WRONG generation" under a queen music video ass comment cuh
The fact that you think using AI 'outsources' expression is sad. Thats the same exact thing the opposers of photography said, word for word.
@@Apostate_ofmind the difference is photography was made as another tool to show the world a i is made to replace art
“It is no bad thing, to celebrate a simple life” 🌺🌲🌳
- Bilbo Baggins/ Tolkien
He never really said that he is a fictional character .
Although I agree with the sentiment, It doesn't make sense to argue against the regression into the artificial world by quoting a fictional character.
@@The-Chrystalmachine A fictional character, made by a real person with real thoughts and ideas, might as well be the writer's envoy that spreads those ideas and messages the writer tries to tell and explain. Writing is art, and art is the expression of a human's inner world and their comprehension of the outside world. Books are some of the best ways to expand imagination and to amuse the brain to think and do creative things. As long as you are able to seperate fiction from reality (and even then, a lot of fiction is just an interpretation of the real world), art can be very valuable. AI has no right to replace that.
"If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world" by Thorin Oakenshield is another great one.
I also am 51. My job was recently eliminated by AI. I was a dispatcher for a trucking company. I decided to start some businesses that can't be eliminated. Doing stuff computers and other people won't do. And spending more time out of doors.
Yeah, what did you do? I figured I’d be a mobile tech because they charge 80 an hour. But nobody pays if you don’t hold their car hostage. I tried plumbing, everybody wants to be my buddy. But everybody has a reason why they cannot pay crap. I kinda give up
I'm also curious to know what you chose. I feel art is one area that we can still express ourselves and offer value, but only if an audience is searching for human created work..... actually if it is AI generated then "work" is misplaced and irrelevant....
@user-vh7ki7xu7o I have always thought that you pay your friends MORE because they are your friends. You take care of the ones you love/like.
@@Eulaalia10 yeah, that’s always a bonus. Very rare in my circle lol.
🦋🇺🇸God Bless you
Being laid off when AI started taking over my tasks was a significant moment in my life. Starting to save later meant I had limited resources to consider retirement at the time. Facing ageism, I had to take on a lower-paying job. After conducting thorough research, I found a strategy that eventually led to a $1 million return in 3 years, which helped me retire with $3 million. Looking back, I’m simply thankful for how things turned out
Honestly, luck plays a huge role in investing, sometimes even more than the resources you have. Without it, succeeding can be really tough
Consistent outcomes aren't luck, I attribute this to research which was the challenging part before it led me to Emily Ava Milligan, a top fund manager, in turn she made 310k into this and counting
I pasted her name into my browser, and her website popped right up. Your example is rare. I stumble on gems when I least expect to. thanks for the share
Lol bullshit spam crap

Bjorn I'm with you. Today I was waxing my old sailboat. I drove home in my 13 year old car. I feel the aches and pains that one would expect at 80.

I’m 26 and i’m tired of the modern society where you must always think what you gonna do with your life and when I said I just what to chill with my friends and walk in the woods they call me lazy. Now I know what i want to do is to learn how to be self sufficient, so all the money I made is just a bonus, so i can work less and live more
We got a Television when i was 7 years old. No more fun canasta games, monopoly, and snakes and ladders. Life changed for the worst. I got anxiety from the things i saw on tv. O never liked it, still don't. Now i am 70, and i like seeing real vids by real people like you Bjorn! Thank you for reminding me to go out in the woods! I am going now!

It was always the intention.
I am in my forties and recently joined one of the larger lodge groups here in the US ... Any time I want to play cards, or shuffleboard, or listen to people tell stories, It's where I end up. It costs only 100$ a year to join, and they have camping facilities nationwide for me to travel in my van ...
There are still real people out there that aren't consumed by our toxic self absorbed culture ... But they are rare ... I wish you luck, it's rough and scary out there.
There are still games like that, just online. If you just looked up "how to play public monopoly" or you can just complain about it.
Same experience. Born in 1963
I left England after the first lockdown, moved to the Canary Islands and just bought a small farm where I can grow my own food and be self sufficient. I'm high in the mountains and the fresh air is amazing. The peace and tranquility second to non. Im a therapist and own another business I just launched. I work predominantly online and from home. I followed my passion and turned it into two successful businesses. Where there is a will there is always a way ❤
Hi there. I live in England and I'm quite interested in pursuing psychology to become a therapist. Can I ask what does your day to day life look like since you work from home? From the few lines you wrote I can see that this could be a life I dream to live.
Congratulations 😊

Well said. I write plays and I do this because I love to write. No success and very likely never will, but I will never stop creating.
I'm an amateur artist and I do it because I love doing it. And sometimes it's a hard slog, but that is when I really learn something new about this amazing craft. Anything created by AI isn't worth having.

Same here I’m hurting pretty bad,especially at night from spinal issues otherwise very healthy and really want to be around awhile for my wife who is only 46
Is it strange that i use humans too in the same way you do? I appreciate that.
Same here. I've felt this way for quite some time. Back in the late 90's I used to say "we are witnessing the deterioration of civilization as we once knew it"
I feel the same way but am in my late 30's and i wish i was already gone. Don't like anything about this world we live in right now.
I wish i was born earlier too 😢
I agree. It's not so much laziness as a concept -- or at least PHYSICAL laziness. We have always found ways to automate the human experience. Cars, planes, etc... but automating art... the idea of _intellectual_ laziness is truly disturbing to me. The one thing that is uniquely human being offloaded to unthinking machines is truly dystopian and extremely irresponsible. I am not looking forward to what is to come. This really does feel different. Part of me feels I'm overreacting and just being a boomer but, I don't know, this really does feel different.
The best way I can explain it is like this: Everyone got scared when Photoshop first dropped because people were scared we could "photoshop anyone doing anything!" but this never really became a problem, because the reality is there are people who created the algorithms that make photoshop work. There are people who KNOW how gaussian blur works, or how pixel blending works. These are all algorithms that are predictable and, ultimately, detectable by humans with the right expertise. SOMEONE knows how this stuff works. The problem with AI and machine learning is that it learns by itself, and it can run MILLIONS of years worth of algorithms (deep learning) in the span of days or weeks to the point that, when something goes wrong, there is no human on earth that can go in and just 'fix' it. No one knows what happened, they just have to scrap the entire build and start over. This is EXACTLY what just happened with ChatGPT like a month ago. We are offloading too much onto a machine that we do not understand, and there will come a point where we will become completely hands off and be unable to do anything about it. The singularity is a real, looming threat and it is inching ever closer...
Well, I really wouldn't call them _unthinking_ machines. AIs you speak of are mostly neural networks, and the idea of neural networks came from nature - that's how human and most animal brains work as well
If someone were to create a really powerful AI with as many neurons as a human has, and somehow managed to train it like a human child on a reasonable timescale, if this AI actually started to comprehend its environment and state of being, if it started to speak and act like a human can, would it still be an unthinking machine? Or a new kind of person? Would it really be that different from us humans?
We are already at that point where big tech companies like Google don’t even know what their AI algorithms are doing exactly. So we are unfortunately way past that point.
hi Bjorn, i'll be 59 this year. i'm in Scotland. i love just being in the woods, in the wilds. i get grief for it from my peers. like i'm some kind of odd ball. i get moaned at for having my mobile switched off for a couple of days. i hate this sorry world we are living in. it's a dam shame. all the best. Mark.
I'm 59 and agree. This world is shit. I remember better times. Being in nature is the only thing that keeps me going. I also have Scottish heritage and hope to get there someday. The Highlands have been calling me my whole life.
I too get that from my peers like I'm a strange guy , who does that still , why go in there , what do ya do in there / out there 🤔 I say this Well boys ... if I have to explain it to , ya probably wouldn't understand ... and they wouldn't and they don't!! Enjoy the outdoors for all its worth ...Do you Be You and for them boo hoo lmao 🤣
Please don't let people call you odd for being in nature with your phone off.i take my hat off to you just be yourself and don't worry about them🌈
I'm 32 and get the same crap 🤣 I don't have a touch phone; one of those old 'bric' ones. I have it switched off a lot and then people get angry because they assume that you have a touch phone and it's always glued to your hand.
My phone is on silent all the time. I get so much grief from my family because I never answer texts or calls until I am done with being outside... Not sorry. :)
Beautiful comments, Bjorn. Here in America, the last fabric store, Jo-ann Fabrics, has declaired bankruptcy. What is being lost is the knowledge of how to sew garments - leading to dependance on foreign-made clothes. That may seem a small loss to many people. But it is a symptom of the choices being made by a majority who are quite happy to follow the whims of technologies. Bjorn - you raise a very insightful question as to whether humanity is stepping forward or backwards now. Going into the natural, untrammeled and ignored forest is a conscious effort to turn away from the "glittering little boxes." A few people will hear and agree with you. Those few are returning to what is real and enduring. Thank you for being a voice for them.
I'm glad you mentioned this. I didn't know. I need to check and make sure I have anything I might need in case my store closes
I'm old school and believe the old ways are best. I hate where this world is going and hope I'm not around much longer, to be honest. Sick of all the bs.

And I bet you use Amazon right? If you do stop complaining.
I used to work at Fabric Tree the reason is CHINA. I wrote a very long comment on my observations since the 60’s but it was deleted before posting. I ran into s lady named Joann looking for a treadle machine for when there is no power. I have great memories of fabrics and threads but the cost for supplies made sewing s hobby for the rich.

It's going to be like auto tune in music. No talent hacks driving out real talent.
old bat
Auto tune would have ruined Joni Mitchell's music. She used her own tunings, much more jazzy than that boring concert pitch. In my view auto tuning ruins a lot of music and can't be sung to. I am not a machine, and my voice is unique, mellow and jazzy. I cannot sing to concert pitch. If I try it sounds soulless. You are so right!
Nobody will care as long as they are entertained.
True but I think there will always be some people who want something made by a person/by hand just like with food, paintings, furniture ect. Sadly there will be fewer people able to make those things as time goes on.

Let's skip the 80s and 90s all though there were exceptions mainly in world music an😮d some jazz and folk / protest , but rock music just like soul died especially int he 80s, saying that there is a renaissance coming from America of old timey music, and the Grateful dead seemed to have inspired a lot of of young musicians who are making some wonderful music, but like the 60s 70s you have to dig deep and not accept the corporate mundane crap that's put in front of you ah well time to go underground and check out some more sound's be they old or new peace !

@@st0ayep but I used to support Andrew tate but now I stopped supporting him.....
I'm just a nobrained crate luger myself with no talent to speak of, but even I feel deeply sorry for all the artists, writers, voice actors etc. that have put years and decades into perfecting their craft only to get overshadowed by a basic AI program spitting out art like some vending machine on steroids. I cannot even imagine what that must feel like. I really hope you guys manage to remain relevant.
People should just build there own community that doesn't include AI. It will be small but still sustainable to me. I go to art websites and would still filter out or notice the AI designs (There is specific pattern I notice).
I hate it when people just give up just because AI takes over. There is still room for old ways. Just like outdoors like this youtuber now. Many people don't enjoy it but its up to you to go for it by yourself. You don't really need to keep following the mainstream crowd all the time.
Example is Japan is still big consumer of CDs during this digital age. They didn't stop buying CDs even though the world move on to digital. I also buy CDs just like the Japanese.
It’s surely feeling the same as artists felt when the camera came out…hopefully it works itself out
One must switch from this being about the journey and proccess instead of result. Funnily enough the AI is what made me get into drawing seriously: if a computer, which I consider to be dumb, can do it - why can't I?
You want to hear something even more fucked? Those A.I. programs are built apon the same work of those artists.... those companies steal their work and integrate it in their A.I so ai can replace them. Its basicly a computer version of all of the erists their work combiner
@@panzer_capital1006 But CDs definitely are digital. so your comment is slightly confusing to me.
Children using smart phones is a step back. Instead of playtime they are getting screen time.
Yes, I remember when I was a kid, I played with nerf guns and with sticks in my backyard, now children have tik tok downloaded at the age of 10....
Tbf people back then also disliked how kids would play outside instead of doing "more useful things" like studying and such, so not too different from now
Not just that, but always being able to rely on the internet for information makes you learn less, because why learn or memorize something when i can just google it instead. I‘m 22 btw so i grew up with technology, but even i see how it makes my mind deteriorate.
Despite fast worldide communication and computer systems, we are actually in the Dark Ages - Look at the architecture , furniture design and Art . Design of clothes and their simplicity also - fit for peasants. Chopping down trees and polluting the rivers and streams like barbarians .
I could listen to you all day, Bjorn . Please talk to the people and make them see . And Thank You so much.
I'm starting to suspect things are made with the intent for them to get ruined quickly, so that we have to go and pay for more. Greed.
@@Ceolskog that's the market for you
@@Ceolskog You are 100% right about that. Manufacturers figured out that building things to last wasn't as profitable. If something is built to last, you won't have to buy another one or get it serviced. Nowadays nothing lasts more than a year without having to get it repaired or replaced. This is a purposeful shift.
If you've never spent anytime in the mountains then you don't know what you are missing. Life is short and you're missing some of the best things.
I'm almost 60 and I've always loved being outside, working with my hands. So satisfying. I could never understand why so many people don't like physical work. There's so much joy in using my skills to make things. Work is NOT undignified! It's something to take pride and satisfaction in.
I like how in a mod for Rimworld the aristocracy ideology is "dumb labor disliked", I hadn't considered how it's just one belief a person can have, explained by feelings/traditions and not facts.
Some people don't like pain
I've noticed that the more "enriched" people have become by technology, the less they are able to think independently, think things THROUGH, or hold conflicting thoughts. I find most people have become totally dependent on "the system", lacking skills, even basic survival skills such as how to cook a meal from scratch or grow a tomato plant in a pot. Of those who -do- cultivate practical skills, even among those people, I find a lot of them have become sliced-and-diced into narrow "tribes" and don't think outside of their narrow area of interest. And the opposite problem... Others are so "scattered" with a bazillion shallow pretty shiny blinky things, that they never cultivate enough specialization in any of those sparkly distractions to actually USE that "knowledge." It has always been so, I suppose. Human nature. But the nature of the internet and its access via modern technology and AI "helping" tools makes people easily manipulated, and they have no more "down time" to self-reflect and change direction. BOREDOM is a gift ... go out in nature and cultivate it a bit. Creativity arises from adversity and boredom.
Your comment accomplishes nothing as you're still a piece of trash person .
This was said nice, i fully agree with this comment of yours especially the part about boredom usage for self reflection and creativity.
You don t even need nature to harness the boredom benefits, all you need is someone that locks you in an empty room with only a chair, a table, pen and paper for like 6 hours to ponder about important questions in regards of your life/desires whatever.
I agree with most creativity and the like are more sporadically generated then coming from just boredom or captivity. Plenty of bored people who create nothing
There a many reasons why I still draw using pencils. I clearly have no talent and only a hint of selftaught skill, but I still like doing it. There will probably come a time when people actually want to do more creative things themselves because they all get this shoved down their throats.
Sure, technology has many benefits. But sadly, creativity is suffering because of it.
like some artist said, pencil is close to your heart when you draw
I was raised on a farm, and surrounded by forest all over the place. I have to admit, life sure was more invigorating, less stressful, simple, air was cleaner, water better, skys were clearer back then. That was back in the 70's and early 80's long over, and a shame. I always spent 75% of my time in the forest or by the lakes and streams fishing, hunting, or just walking. Technology and infrastucture has changed all that, shrinking the natural habitat, and upsetting the balance of nature. It would be nice to get out of society and live off the grid. Easy to say, but not easy to do. Still there has to be a way, maybe enough people that are like minded could accomplish this and travelled together to form new communities outside the cities.
Sign me up for one of those communities!! I have been wanting to live like that for as long as I can remember
Me too
Sadly i afree with you. Im only 39 but it makes me cry ehen i think how beautiful life was decades ago before all this technology destroyed everything. My parents are both over 70 and i was raised old school. Spentr mist of my life in rural country side. So beautiful and peaceful.
It's a lot like it was in the 70's where I live now, at least parts of it.

Have you considered visiting Tasmania? We have many off grid communities here. Would love to meet you down here. 😊
Love this title but is really true this day and age people like any kind of interest in wanting to learn or be educated.And I hate being told by people like that who never tried and just don't want to do especially when I always try learning new things and try at things.These people can be toxic and hateful to you I think its a form of jealousy.
Hey, Bjorn. I like your jacket...what is it?
If I could afford the time and money to go to England, I would in a heartbeat. I would love to have the chance to meet you and absorb your wisdom. I'm just very thankful I found your channel! Sköl!
Do you ever make videos in your Norwegian language. I bet people would watch that and read english captions. I like to watch movies in there original language.
I'm 21 years old. I've started writing short stories as a hobby at 18. This year I've started writing my first novel. Currently at 124k words and close to finishing it. I write military sci-fi because I like sci-fi and I like action. I plan on writing and posting for free. In the future I'll post videos about my worldbuilding passions (again for free).
I do this not because I want to be rich, or successful, or famous but because I just want to. Because I like it. Because I just like to write. I like storytelling and worldbuilding.
More people should be like that, I think. Do stuff just because they like doing it. Not for some great goal, not for physical gain, not because someone told them to do so. But just because they want to. Because they like it.
Hello there! I'm a wannabe author but haven't done anything yet. I would like to ask you a very abstract question, just in case you're kind to answer me. How did you do to make yourself informed on topics you didn't know too much about? What were your research tools or strategies? I personally have the great disadvantage that I haven't traveled a lot and don't know too much other places and cultures. I don't know too much about other social classes either (what is specially intriguing to me, not for jealousy, is the real lifestyle and perks of very wealthy people). Our interests are very different but I appreciate any help. Thanks forward!
@@TR4R Hi there. Your question struck me as somewhat strange but I'll attempt to give a straightforward answer.
Read. Nothing else to it. Books of all kinds, online sights of all kinds, videos of all kinds, anything even remotely connected to the current subject of interest.
First, I would outline the broad concept of what I'm researching. Then I dig deeper into the individual aspects. Example: I want to know more about war. What is war? Then, how does war begin? Then, why does war begin? Then, why don't we stop war from beginning? Then, how does war escalate? Descalate? Who is fighting? How do they fight? Why do they fight? Why do they believe they are right? All the way down to the boots the soldiers wear.
I ask myself every single possible question that could be gleaned from the subject and then examine it individually. It's hard work, it's long work, and it's boring work. But I make it work.
I hope this helps.
@@simplewrites Thanks! 🥰
@@TR4R any time, friend. What do you plan on writing?
@@simplewrites I thought about a dystopian novel, however my idea is kinda old. Some years ago people started popularizing a conspiracy theory about replacing physical money with some chip put in the hand or somewhere else. The idea was to keep absolute control of the population two ways: one is to be able to strip you from all your money and purchasing power very easily, the another one to be able to locate you with extreme accuracy any time they want. As everything will be monitored crime would almost totally disappear in a few months, but with it the freedom of mankind. People who travel a lot (some of them) argue that they've already achieved it with biometric passports. But when I see people paying with watches or phones I can only think, has this gone already too far? Digital currencies can be seen as a escape but once the governments, via the central banks create their own, it's basically game over.
Me seeing the title of this video: "Oh look it's a video about me."
Me after watching the video: "I will make damn sure this video is not about me."

In the 70s to 90s my fellow, Tech-interested and Scifi-infused generation dreamed of a Utopian Future where machines would take care of all the work, you as an individual don't want to put up with
Like hauling, serving, whiping your ass or whatever comes into your individual distaste, so we would have the free time to concentrate on what seems interesting and importend for example doing painting art or maybe writing poetry.
Now it seems we are going to face the opposite where AI will do Art, writing and all meaningful communication while the Human has to do all the shitwork or is just reduced into a consumer with no perspective at all.
Wow, I hadn't seen it that clear. And our greed has to do with it. All the disgusting and/or hard-work will continue to be made by humans, AI will just take care of functions that require some level of reasoning or creativity. And we will become more stupid. Technology can be dangerous but we have done it extremely harmful with these uses.
Keeping it real Bjorn. In Vancouver I feed my ravens every day, they come to visit at the front door and I give them a hot dog each. My Lab hates them 😅

I have a way of thinking. I owe nobody nothing.What I'm talking about is this. What saved me was my disability, I have dyslexia and it prevents my form understanding or enjoying technology, I'm not complaining because if I could do what most people are competent in like,computers ,technology, AI , etc etc I would be like them, now that's a nightmare for me. What I couldn't do for 50 years , love and embrace my differences. Happiness is a thing called not giving a monkies about what people think about me .✌️☘️
Current AI is more like a glorified search engine with a few media attachments. We're a very long way off before we get a GlaDOS (Portal series) Shodan (System Shock), Skynet (Terminator) or HAL (2001 A Space Odyssey). Still, few will just use it as a tool. Rather they will see it as the easy way to crank out mass produced swill. It's just a copy of the introduction of CGI graphics. A prime example is animation (especially Japanese animation). Where features were once produced with hand drawn cells and would show the style of a particular artist, now it's almost all produced with a machine and looks pretty much the same.
I used it every day, you are so wrong.
@@dancampbell9090What for your school homework?!
@@jonamail3143 go back to eating you crayons
exactly. sadly most of science nowadays is BS. its just a buzzword to get investor money@coomerkiller
Respectfully, I disagree. My elder relative, who has now passed, was an executive at IBM and was supervisor for the first International Space Station. He had to design 3 different computer systems for fail safes - in case one failed, there's a backup, then another backup because it would be up in space. When the project was completed, all of a sudden they pulled the funding and, of course, the technology went to military applications. He was one of their top guys. They would fly him by helicopter if need be to get him where he was needed. He retired in the mid 1980s. He was replaced by a Chinese national. When he saw the Terminator scene where Dyson was talking about the Terminator arm and how it led them into areas of totally new research, he had a heart attack right there while I was watching it with him. We were both science fiction fans. He had signed a non-disclosure agreement so he couldn't talk about it. Seriously think about this - if you were the top guy for the biggest computer company in the world - as IBM was at this time, and you see how your work is going to be used - would it be a big stretch of the imagination to say you'd be incredibly shocked at what they had done with your research?

More like the people in power want you illiterate and absolutely helpless. Some people PAY for AI- and it is making them forget all their skills over time- and they don’t even see it.
Exactly.
We better start forcing kids to learn more about computers or they'll fall for more scams from big corps. Like Microsoft. And ignore real tech problems because the fancy men in suits have the monopoly, not genuine nerdy people.
Thank you for this video! I'm 40 and always try to get my son to the nature. He is really likes play games and watch the videos but I think it's so important to show him the beauty and the power of nature. I hope later he will value these moments and will get his children to the nature too
I live in the midst of farmland and forest, close to a river. There are a lot of raptors, deer, and wildlife all over the place. I just wish I could enjoy it more, but can't walk very far and not without being in pain. I grew up on a small farm back in the 1970s.
Well said Bjorn, this is the one of the many consequences of the lives we are living now. Too much easy convenience, and AI ending these industries that require human skill.
Hi Bjorn! I just wanted to thank you for all of the videos that you do! Have a great day!
I'm a jazzguitarist, my whole life I've been working hard to polish my art. Last time I was playing at a party and an elder guy said to me, you're the last generation that studies guitar so hard. So you're damn right man.
When my youngest was five, I gave him a guitar - just like the song says:
Here's a guitar, its all shiny and red; never hurt no one, never started no wars and it makes a magic sound...
He is 24 now and WAILS! Few things in life are as fun as playing and singing with one of your kids.
There has never been a finer instrument crafted by the mind and hand of Man.
AI will never have a group of humans at a party gather round, sit down and shut up to listen!
Keep rocking!
I don't play jazz, I play blues and classic rock, but I love listening to it.

The greatest generation in America was the parents of the Boomers, the people born in the early 1920s who came of age in the Great Depression and fought in WWII. As a 52 year old Gen X’er I’m talking about my grandparents generation. I can’t stand modern society anymore and any free time I get I’m in the woods and streams of my home state; hunting, fishing, and enjoying nature.
My grandad was the greatest man I ever knew.
I hate modern society too, we are not the only ones. I read books and do not camp in woods.
Keep hurting animals and ur luck will not change

I am now 56 years old. I started getting drawn into the wilderness and woods 10 years or more ago. I made a trip up to northern new England usa , and it struck a chord in me. I started camping with my kids in the summer and learning more and more about making shelters and fire to cook on , how to get our own drinking water etc . I stopped watching TV quite a long time ago. I recently interviewed for a job up in this area of my world and was hired, I found a place to live up there and now I am doing it! I am living in an area of vast forests, rivers, lakes and streams! Something inside me drew me to this place . I used to feel this way about the sea, I grew up and lived my whole life on the ocean, but the shoreline has become coveted real estate and has become exclusive . the woods here are so far north, it still has a real winter and is far enough away that only few come here, who most have the same mind set. it is truly beautiful and peaceful ! nature is humbling! the north woods are far better than a 55 and over 'community' ! hahaha
Well said ! I ignore my kids advice that I should live near medical facilities. Not a priority for me.
Maine or New Hampshire ? Love that area of the world
If your new to the woods mind the ticks - late may thru June is the worst of it
Than do you draw decorations. not art.
You make me feel like I am coming home. It's hard to stay chipper. Feels very dark. Thank you.
You are doing humanity a service by providing these valuable lessons. It's wonderful to see you living and authentic life in close proximity to nature. You are true we come from nature and belong to it. Sooner or later one needs to understand this
This is the real world and this is real life.the truth that most don't have a clue.thanks you for this video. From Damascus Virginia USA AKA TRAIL TOWN USA
I've been saying this for 20 years, concerning the art market being flooded with digital "art". As an artist, I have watched in disappointment, as people become "art" superstars, using these cheat methods. It's very unfortunate. The old ways are the best ways. And we should all be seeking out our own unique talents. This is the most beautiful thing. No matter what the medium. They say music is the universal language. But art is the language of the heART. We need actual artisans in society. Art gives soul. It makes one feel and think. These cold, digital, AI things, are soulless. No thanks.
That sounds like jealousy and envy
I couldn't agree more, OP. Jealousy and envy has NOTHING to do with it whatsoever. Critical thinkers know this.
Holy crp you made those!!! Yea that's talent. Imma sub to you
But a lot of artists are using this artificiale art to help them with ideas and so on and ive seen some of that and it looks great. As long as it looks great it doesnt matter in which way its done@@katie7748
Music is a form of art
Bjorn, do you remember when everyone thought that ebooks would replace printed books? Well, not only did not, but in recent years sales of print books have increased. And when we speak about art, we forget something; art always contains the soul of the artist, therefore every piece of art or writing has something unique that cannot be mimic by any machine. Have a look at your own channel, a man with his own uniqueness in the middle of a forest just sharing some thoughts about life…so simple…yet you have more than half million subscribers.✨And all this just tell us one thing; not everything is lost.❤🙏🏻
Omg... Bjorn that forest is so beautiful. I can almost smell the juniper bushes and the pine-smoke.
On another note, of course it matters what is real and what is not, I don't know what is the percentage of people to which it doesn't.
Nowadays everything is a lie, everything is "forced" to appear as something it isn't, it's like someone is trying to dance, but doesn't enjoy the music.
You're videos are a breath of fresh air.
There is no music left, in fact. The people are dancing but there is no music. That's why it feels forced.
@@SC-gw8np What do you mean? I meant that the music is the inner drive/interests people have. Life itself if you will.
@@amoeb81 I meant the same thing as you. To spell it out fully, I meant that people are living without an inner drive/purpose, that's why everything feels forced.
@@SC-gw8np I think inner drive always exists in one way or another. Maybe it's so opressed that you can't see it but it's there. At least for me.... maybe for other people it doesn't exist at all... but I don't know in the end.
@@amoeb81 It does exist, but maybe it gets lost under the vicissitudes of life. If one lives in a culture that does not respect or value introspection, one may never find it again.
I would love to be able to walk in the woods. Would even like the local dog park trails. Unfortunately they have been taken over by the homeless, the drug addicted, and all manner of scary people. As an 81 yr old, female that activity has been taken from me. Healthy people at my age still can’t outrun or fight someone who wants to do harm. Civilization is on life support.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for sharing your thoughts.
As detrimental as it would be to the modern world, if I could get rid of the internet completely I would. Phone calls, text messages and radio in my opinion are as far as I'd like things to go.

I cannot express enough concern that technology is destroying the human soul.

There’s always a way to reach individuals and that’s how we fight this destruction of the soul. It’s how we make plans to see the natural world and appreciate our opportunity to experience creation.

I grew up in the mountains. Surrounded by nature. I could leave my door and be surrounded by forest with nobody around in 15 minutes. Now I live in the city. Even if you leave the city, everything is private land or farms. Even though we have a large protected natural area running through the city, the nearest real nature is 4 hours away.
I miss small town life and I miss mountains.
25y old here and I wish I had a choice. All the nature around me has been destroyed and replaced by cities, and I lack the capability to move anywhere else at this time. It's hard to do so when you have no one to help you and the whole world has turned its back on you. But still, it remains my goal for the future, along with getting into physical creative crafts. And I'm hoping I can move abroad to a less oppressive and less urbanized place for that.
Because what you've said is right. This here that I'm living, that I'm forced to live, is not life. It surely doesn't feel like it, at least.
I don't completely agree on some points you present. " Laziness" can be beneficial if it is allowed to a mature person. What do I mean? The laziness can be a spur to devise something beneficial which in turn frees time available to one or many to use that freed time for constructive purposes. You are an author, if you still had to use a typewriter to inscribe your works (an improvement of course upon pen and paper) you would most likely need to spend time on unproductive work like re-typing a page, or erasing mistakes, etc. This can be extended to normal activities like cooking, laundry, the need to transport yourself or goods over some distance. Is it laziness to make more efficient use of your time to accommodate other activities you wish to engage ... like just roaming the woods and enjoying what is in nature? Just some thoughts to ponder.
Great point.
Thanks to your videos, I am spending more time outdoors with my son. I had forgotten how wonderful it is out there. Thank you, brother.
I'm in my 50s and I really enjoy your musings. Your grasp of the English language is better than most people whose native tongue is English. Your videos provide me comfort in my life in a world that seems increasingly individualistic and predatory.
Nice video, Bjorn. I agree completely that we must all get back to nature. I certainly don't have old-growth forest near me like you do, but I do what I can with the little pockets of nature that exist in my area. I have believed since I was in my 20s that the disconnection from nature is a huge factor in many of the problems in today's society. Our mental health, and even our ability to think clearly, suffers greatly when we separate ourselves from Mother Earth.
By the way, I like how you often close a video with the words, "Stay strong." It would also be nice to hear you say, "Stay strong, and make your ancestors proud."
I was "one of those people" for a long time. But now I see what media really does, and now I am more Disconnected than I used to be. And I agree with you to the fullest extent. (9:30)

The only responsible way to use AI is to not use it at all.
My thoughts exactly.
I agree that AI art is terrible but AI can be very useful in all sorts of sciences medicine etc. Why the generalization?
@@Knightonagreyhorse Yeah I agree. That's where it should stay too, studying data in a few days that would take three lifetimes for a human researcher to go through, study possible cancer cures and whatnot.

A retarded take. Now tell me to never use airplanes, automobiles, electricity or antibiotics.
Great video. I'm 27 but when i was in middle school, I'd written a short story for my english class. The premise was a dystopian future where humans became dependent on artificial intelligence for nearly every aspect of life. There were large portions of the population who were without jobs and barely surviving, living off the scraps of the elite or some kind of government aid. People protested to no avail, their pleas for change falling on indifferent ears. Yeah that was over 10 years ago..
58 years old here.
Your short story sounds prophetic. Likely it will become a reality for billions of people, but doesn't have to be for you.
On the flipside, the future could be utopian. AI takes every job and produces everything we need. People no longer need to work to make money, and instead everything is free due to the abundance of resources and free labor. Humans spend their lives going on adventures, doing their hobbies, and whatever else they like. There is no longer any elite, nor any poor people.
I've been writing all kinds of stories and tales since I was a kid, in both Swedish and English. Writing has always been my passion, and I always strive to better myself in the art of storytelling. I'm in my thirties today, working on what I hope becomes my first book, and the first of many, since I have several others planned out. And I got to say that AI scares me. I'm worried that it will one day make us writers obsolete. What happens to us that work and toil, that pour our hearts and souls into the craft, when anyone with a computer can create the next Lord of The Rings at the push of a button? Writing and telling stories is such an important part of humanity, of who we are, and the thought of AI replacing that.. makes me shudder.
I think many of us don't get to see beyond the burden of economics. I don't want to offer my work to enable big business to carry on as usual and don't want anything from the state. I have tools and logistics to do jobs anywhere in the middle of nowhere... I know the jobs are out there, but lack the economical means or business sense to get started. Privately I've built a badass desktop pc, a feature-complete campervan, renovated houses, Lately I've been renovating and upgrading a box trailer for the van... Meanwhile on paper being a commercial truck driver. How does all that incorporate in a professional setting? Do you know? I would be living and working out in nature, but meanwhile I'm stuck here confused in a rental flat in the city..
"I'm keeping track of the ravens; they are my friends."

I sort of accept that the pandora box has been opened.
Some people just are greedy and shortsighted, or just struggling to survive. I also accepted that.
What we can do that will make a difference is at least not adding to the suffering of others,
Or, subtracting from humanity's suffering in any way you can.
That is a perfect way to simply put it. They are as greedy as they are short-sighted.
We can't even figure out how to manage water responsibly let alone artificial intelligence
I'm with you Bjorn, As a Yorkshireman from the UK, now living in Australia, I thoroughly enjoy the life/peace you deliver in your messages. Mega, mega well done for doing this. I tell people a lot. I have for a long time. We will win!
We have already moved back. IT/AI has disabled individual thought and critical analysis in the younger generations.
have you met these kids? HOT POCKETS disabled individual thought and critical analysis in the younger generations.
It wasn't a hard target to hit.
Ehh not just the younger ones. Age has nothing to do with it. How many people say their spouse, their siblings, their neighbors, coworkers, etc fit this description?
AI is a cheap knockoff, a self aware toaster having the hubris to "think" it is
in this world to teach its creators, much like an impudent child playing with
matches.
We don't have anything close to "self aware".
As an author, it's really up to true writers to save the future of creativity and fantasy with a sprinkle of morals.😊
I agree. We need to remember our Common Sense.❤❤
Passion comes in different forms. Skills can involve the knowledge of anything. You have Skills and passion. The ability to think is a skill. Your thoughts are your passion.
Yeah that's true, but some very clever thinkers are just blindly developing AI with absolutely no wisdom attached to what the outcome is likely to be : redundant humans, devoid of any true soul , being turned into dumbed-down morons. Not , as Bjorn points out, a move forward, but a stultifying regression. Read Brave New World ( for a glimpse of the frightening possibilities of the road we seem to be headed down)
Yes i love that your videos are real, they comfort me in these strange times thank you 😊
I don't know if you realize how important and impactful the words you are sharing are. But we are trapped, Thank you for guiding us out of the darkness my friend.
May you forever have the peace you bring upon others.
