Companies will let AI write their own code because of competition. That is the Moloch. The interviewer let Demis off the hook on that question. Moloch is a good analogy for what will happen. Individually, engineers and companies would be able to control AI. Collectively, with the pressures of capitalism, there will be no control.

This opening question and answer is such a dishonest cliche and I’m calling BS on it. These CEOs retroactively ascribe a grand altruistic plan to their career so they can see like some intercalative visionary on high. When in fact there were doing what they were interested in and what they were good at, and thats great!
Elon does the same thing, he used to say that when he was 16 he had thought there were 3 things that would shape humanities future, and its no surprise there were three things he had business in. In more recent interviews, he says that he always thought there were 5 things, because he realizes he didn’t include some new emerging thing in his original canned answer.

He alludes to how few people have really driven this AI revolution (we all know each other) set to disrupt the incomes and lives of billions in a negative way in order to attain their fevered sci-fi dreams. The epitome of hubris.
The power of the LLMs rest on the data scraped, including copyrighted data, of all humanity without a peep in regard to consent.
UBI? There will never be a sufficient UBI, and if there is a UBI that even guarantees the most basic housing let alone food, utilities, healthcare, transportation, etc it will come with biometric identification and tracking of every penny spent in a cashless traceable system connected to some social credit system powered by mass surveillance.
He speaks of abundance in some grand illusion that it will be shared. This coming from a class of people who are mostly libertarian or neoliberal economic types who abhor any notion that large corporations owe the general public anything in the way of increased taxation to pay for things like universal healthcare. The same class of super wealthy individuals and large corporations that pay effective tax rates far below the average middle class citizen. At the same time, this class of individuals, the 1% jump at the chance of free money from taxpayers e.g., Microsoft and other large corporations getting billions of dollars free through the CHIPS act, as if these companies can’t afford to ramp up production of chips in the US themselves.
Yeah, I’m a “doomer”.

AI is stupid as a rock, it just reuses human data, it has no clue of itself, because it has no consciousness. Machines which will be capable of breakthroughs are AGI not AI, and consciousness will be a necessary part of them.

That seems too much plug into daily life as a human. Suddenly these words ” eternity”comes out and “ephemeral“comes after …

All this talk of AI and AGI, and once AGI in an even a shorter space of time ASI all these developments are heavy consumers of energy, and yet hardly a mention of where all this energy is to come from. It was mentioned that just one of these AI data centres uses a much energy as New York, don’t want to worry anybody but humanity cannot create energy, yes we can extract and transform energy but not create it, all the earth bound sources of energy and key minerals are depleting rapidly in tandem with the destruction of the natural word. Anyone 19 years of age and below, like a baby born today, we should be concerned for, but I fear we won’t and so we’ve set the seed of our own mass extinction, which may happen a lot faster than we’d like to think🤔

As a Christian who speaks to the Word of God every day, I was very ready to come into this comments section and completely roast you for this Ted Talk when i saw the title of the video saying “Unlocking the Secrets of Nature and the Universe”, however I must say this Ted Talk was so wholesome and amazing. The entire conversation was very humble, and I value that humility in the people who are leading the innovation in our Ai and advancements towards AGI. I am a very active member of the Ai community and I must say the part where he mentioned that he grew up in the church and when they discover the foundation of the universe “what if it says you cannot know this” I thought that was simply amazing. Speaks volumes to these men’s understanding.
Truly Ai, Science and God are just all parts of the same truth, and I’m glad to be a part of all of them.

Open sourcing is far less of a danger than the “trust me bro” approach that most companies have taken to protect their bottom line.
These open weight (a more appropriate name since we don’t get to see the training data) models have been going gang busters in the hobby and enthusiast communities for over a year now. So far, in my experience, it’s the closed source models that have done the most harm. The amount of AI generated crap here on YouTube that’s written by GPT-4 and voiced by ElevenLabs is truly depressing.

I would put all my bets on this computational scientist, has he been nominated for the Nobel prize yet? I’ve played all his video games, but I was especially struck by one that didn’t get the ‘popular’ recognition called Black & White and it was about a sort of ‘hand’ of God interacting with a half-beast half-fantastical demi-god and living with the cultures of humanity on a sort of planet earth; depending on how God treated the beast it behaved towards humans. It was really fascinating and as a player it put you all the time in ethical, moral, philosophical dilemmas that made you wonder if you were not yourself one of those people in the videogame. Already at that time Demis Hassabis used his formula to calculate the artificial intelligence of the characters. I ccan’t say the same thing about Google they always collecting all my clicks and types.

Every AI technologist feels sure that they can develop AGI and still maintain control of it such that it will only benefit society. Their hubris flies in the face of what human history teaches us. The futurist Isaac Asimov observed that any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. How do you control something that is thinking at a rate faster and more advanced than you will ever comprehend? How do you prevent someone from telling the system to save the planet at all costs, only to have it realize that the biggest threat to earth is human existence, and having it take action accordingly? The law of unintended consequences looms like Godzilla behind every use case we can anticipate for this technology.
