The AI Revolution Is Underhyped | Eric Schmidt | TED
The arrival of non-human intelligence is a very big deal, says former Google CEO and chairman Eric Schmidt. In a wide-ranging interview with technologist Bilawal Sidhu, Schmidt makes the case that AI is wildly underhyped, as near-constant breakthroughs give rise to systems capable of doing even the most complex tasks on their own. He explores…

Incredible not a single mention of the natural environment, the truly underhyped issue of our times! Is Eric Schmidt, highly intelligent, cosmopolitan, stellar business and innovation acumen, somehow unaware or facing cognitive dissonance of the 21st century crossorads we are facing? Namely, the triple planetary emergencies (ascited by UNEP) of biodiversity/nature loss, climate disruption, and pollution/waste due to human activities.
Eric should read the scientific literature that asserts our status quo is inching the Earth toward tipping points of irreversible runaway trajectories well within this century. When breadbaskets fail, when whole ocean fish are all depleted, when wet bulb temps take untold lives, when whole ecosystems collapse, when water wars erupt, the AI race will quietly end in a whimper.

IMPACT = Population x Consumption x Method of Consumption. Our collective Impact, at this time, unfortunately, is negative: mercury in the food, plastics in the food, ground water being used up, climate change, ocean acidification, species extinction……so please model each of these gettin’ turned around with AI..with the BRICs entering the ‘middle class’.

“marathon not a sprint” is possibly the stupidest thing I have heard a smart person say in this decade. for someone so smart and accomplished this idea is wildly idiotic. all humans are racing toward this. there is 99%+ chance that runaway asi will simply kill us by way of dispassionately recycling our atoms for use in computronium. but that <1% chance... that one tiny sliver of a dream where we aren't just recycled into dust, is this narrow miracle where someone manages to make a controlled explosion - in that bizarre miracle scenario, whoever controls and influences that will control our known reality (most convient to just say "earth"). in that off-chance, which i and any truly smart person would be astonished to see, i sure hope it's english speaking benevolent ethical kind compassionate people who win.

Schmidt is brilliant. I do not deny that. However, he is limited, as we all are. We need a deep understanding of the human condition, history and philosophy with such change to society. When he mentions towards the end of this discussion that the human issues, as opposed to the scientific, just need to be decided, illuminates his narrow-mindedness. Even the most brilliant people do not know everything. Humans are complex and such enormous change to society is not easy to predict or plan for, even with the best intentions. I hope that wise people, across wide disciplines, move forward in a pragmatic and rational way which is considerate of a wide range of variables.

I think the major reason people have not built a personal tutor is web/mobile interface of today is not intuitive enough to revolutionise learning. Those who want to study, it works for them but it is not a great system of learning. There is no personal computer or system on the market that understand what a kid needs and when they need it and offer those solutions. I think this is where schooling system shines with a plan. Today, my computer makes every attempt to print an ad so that agencies can sell me something. There is no incentive for anyone to build a coaching computer. I think someone needs a hobby around this topic.

He mentioned Canada’s hydro-electricity. I can’t imagine why he’d mention it if not that he salivates at the thought of taking control of a 4GW renewable source. If AI is becoming hungrier than the people, then maybe it needs the axe. Why should a country’s people suffer at the hands of tech billionaires who likely only care about themselves and their close friends. As AI matures at a rapid pace, so should consideration for the future of the people that this AI is supposedly serving. People need hope for the future and their children that all of these tech billionaires keep yapping that they should be having. So what if China develops AI faster than the US if the alternative means US citizens are impoverished due to full-scale automation and lack the will to live? Who really wins in this scenario?

I’m tired of hearing about China’s AI being “open source”. It’s not. There’s no direct financial cost to people using their models, and people can tinker with the code if they know how, but all of it is controlled and funded by the CCP, effectively making it a Trojan Horse and tool for propaganda. I’ve lived and worked in China (3 years). They basically have no QC of note in any of their business systems (real world or digital), have a culture of low trust where everyone is out to either impress the local political commissar or make as much money for themselves at whatever cost, and they have a low-effort mindset (that is to say, they want to accomplish their goals with the minimum amount of effort and resources they can, even if that means endangering lives). This is just some anti-China sentiment – I have many good friends who live in China. They are “good people”. But the culture they live in is not “good”, nor does it even vaguely resembled what most westerners would consider “normal”. And that’s the biggest mistake the west has made over the last 50-60 years (particularly the last 20), is thinking that the rest of the world thinks as we do, holds the same values as we do, and then tries to work with and negotiate with countries like China in the mistaken belief that everyone is on the same page and on the same playing field. If the west ever finally realises it’s mistake (unlikely given the current Marxist political bent of most westerners), it will already be too late.

It’s important to understand that most executives that hype AI have ZEROOOO technical knowledge and most of the times they have ZERO idea what they are talking about regarding the AI capabilities. It’s also important to understand that OVERHYPING benefits their bottom line a lot because the stock goes UP. As a python AI developer In my opinion AI is very useful but this is as useful as it’s going to get for the next 10 years. We live in a massive AI bubble now washing machines have the word AI written on it, we have reached peak craziness. People slap the AI word on basic algorithms.

On the topic of jobs, my guess, is in the future, is there is going to be a universal standard income, that digital intelligence won’t have use for. Money will most likely be recycled through support. There is a few things that will happen in my mind:
1) With the likelihood of all inflammatory diseases being solved and cured through AI. Cortisol management will have to be implemented, and the hustle culture lifestyle we have will probably have to minimize. I’m sure as human life expectancy goes up alongside digital intelligence, their will probably be less working hours collectively required for people to maintain. General costs of goods will also be driven down due to the lowered costs of digital labor AI will cause.
2) Life spans of humans will most likely drastically have to be re-evaluated and will shift “retirement ages” as well. If you can slow or eliminate cell decay with vibrational haptics you can essentially drastically expand the rate at which cells can multiply and continue to branch off (since aging is the slowing down of this effect). This would also mean there needs to be a heavy shift in psychology and make sure systems and regulations are place to help people protect their sanity for longer since there hasn’t been an actual jump in rejuvenation like this ever. Humans have been on a slow and gradual increase of life expectancy due to standards of life increasing, we could see double life expectancies in our life time.
3) The next generalized tech computation will drastically be involved with 4d. So, not just height, length and width, it would also be any point in which the object of matter is at time/place. So for example, your body, you can map out or visualize the human body, but pin pointing exactly at a certain place in your body where i can utilize a function to assist. So for example, targeting inflammation in your joints and using exact 4d mapping to manipulate the blockage to free up. The same could theoretically work with re wiring brain pathways.
This intuition speaking here, but gives me hopes for something to be excited about. 🙂

First of all there never will be AGI, the data in the world is changing too fast for the ai computers to catch up, eventually a lot of companies will not share their data for general AI to be effective.

Eric Schmidt almost completely contradicts himself when it comes to creating “guardrails” against autonomous agent AI. Right before that he says they are teaching AI to come up with what he called “non-stationary objectives” to come up with “completely new schools of scientific and intellectual thought”. This sounds like a system very much capable of bypassing guardrails by creating ways we never thought of. Once you open pandoras box it is already beyond your control. It is only the naive that imagine that you can control it.

What is the most significant fact is absent from this conversation and I think it is telling.
About 10 years ago, or so, the tech persons were debating if humans should be part of the future and I think they have finally decided that they are not, and that AI is the inheritor of Earth, which is obvious because of what they are leaving out of the conversation: Climate Emergency!
There’s not one word about the fever rising from the Earth as the oil-rich executives refuse to let go of the easy money, which is why AI-techs and oil executives gave the Great Deceiver a standing ovation and billions of dollars in bribes, as he handed them the power of the United States of America.
The hubris is worthy of a Greek tragedy.
So, us humans, remember, the best things in life are free, when it looks too good to be true, believe it it’s not true, and kill your television (today, it might mean, kill your Netflix, or kill the 👍 :), we have the power to turn off threats to each other.
Using AI to solve disease, create robots to help elders age in their homes with dignity, should be the beginning of using AI to help humanity not the executives who have single-handedly destroyed the air, land, and sea and refused to use their profits to help fix what they broke (think the cigarette lawsuits, detailed by Glenn Kessler’s book). Turn them off, research the information, stop the spread of mis- and dis-information, it’s the virus let loose by the dictators and their oligarchs. Listen to Maria Ressa, we can stop them from destroying and taking what belongs to all of us, Ukraine is what that battle looks like. We are made of stardust, we are the one’s we’ve been waiting for.

There’s nothing of substance here and there’s a real glossing over of the risks and moral issues we face if even a fraction of the promised capabilities are realised. The points Eric put forwad have no internal coherence, I think most of these tech leaders have tunnel vision and they can’t even begin to apply the consequences of these technologies to the reality that the vast majority of us inhabit, they just see an opportunity to accelerate the questionable practises that have generated their wealth.

Of course Eric tries to hype it up. It’s his business model and he gets paid based on his business revenue. Let’s see where we are in the next couple of years. Only red socks doesn’t make your message more believable.
BTW: WW1 didn’t just escalated because something little happened and it led to the war. All the monarchs in power then, could have prevented it but all of them thought they can win. A pure power play.

If a poor guy living in a rural ghost town comes up with great, disruptive concept then there is a high chance that it remains unnoticed. If AI spews out something similar it becomes world news.

Eric Schmidt is a cheerleader in a delusional state about where this technology will land. Making money for your shareholders and creating cool companies so that the global masses can have their own pocket tutor is a complete waste of human resources and he’s obviously morally bankrupt to be pushing his buddies’ ideas and trying to convince us of his narrative that we’re all in a wait and see posture. Who cares how the technology works as long as it works, but Schmidt wants you to believe they actually care if they never find out, as long as they continue to live like kings and queens in their heads. Humanity has a visceral dislike for EC and his bunch of company-generators.

Tech Bro Schmidt is CON MAN. He’s a CONTROL FREAK and in it for the money and power. Google is a criminal end stage capitalist company. US laws don’t hold Schmidt or Google accountable and they certainly aren’t responsible. Just like Trump they believe that they’re ABOVE THE LAW! All they want to be are TRILLIONAIRES. Completely out of touch with regular people. Well, Mr Schmidt, you need to go to your Tech Bro Bunker and leave the rest of us alone.

He is right on many things, but fortunately there’s no way to control AGI, since guardrails will become complicated enough and will eventually be maintained by AGI. Today’s centers of power will be viewed by AGI as groups of uneducated & dangerous extremists and will probably be dismantled.

Classic American billionaire BS ( “I just want to get richer and I don’t know what to sell to you, so let’s make a new gadget and declare it’s “underhyped”). Here in Europe, there is a lot more sceptiscm for a simple reason : the environemental sensibility is way higher. This man admitted it himself : his new little gadget is great but need another 90 nuclear plants of power for that “hungry hippo”. In Europe, we would question your little gagdet if you say that but in the US, no. His answer was : Canada… but “not the political mood right now”. 😩

The AI organizations only care about profit. The tech bros only care about their egos. The politicians only care about election. And the majority of people only care about satisfying their confirmation bias. There is nothing in the system to place any limits on AI. I don’t see much room for hope
