There's someone sitting in each self driving car. They're being a dick to a real person.

These results are being misconstrued. This is not a good look for AI replacing doctors for diagnosis. Out of the thousands of studies published in 7 years on AI for diagnostic imaging, only 14 (!!) actually compared their performance to real doctors. And in those studies they were basically the same. This is not great news for AI because the ways they test it are the best possible environment fo…

This would be because women are suddenly killing themselves more frequently than before. You can empathize with women and still be concerned about male suicide rates.

Also, population. If we were to take US carbon footprint per capita and normalize up to Chinese population levels, the output would be INSANE

Robots are a good idea but also very bad.just think of how many people will oneday lose their jobs because of robots taking over their job and how many people wil get very lazy because they then have robots doing everything for them.Plus if someone can program a robot to be good then there wil also be people programming robots to be bad.Think about it.

Around 36 minutes he says comedians can’t explain the structure of jokes. Yes, they can. They know the formulas. They play with them all the time because audiences also know them and they need to maintain surprise. LLMs are actually quite bad at jokes. They can produce things that look like jokes, but they don’t have the human reaction to being surprised and tricked.

I disagree with Neil on the AI job replacement argument. Unlike the transition from horse to automobile, where the loss of jobs was offset by new ones, this is the first major leap in human evolution that is not designed for our convenience or to expand trade networks, but is focused entirely on streamlining and eliminating jobs by mega-corporations. I agree that AI has its place and will be extr…

Getting put on a heat list makes you a target of not just other people in the streets but the police aswell. Ai should not decide peoples lives.

as someone who works in the field (of AI), I think what's most startling about this kind of work is seemingly how unaware people are of both its prominence and utility. the beauty of something like malignant cancer (... fully cognizant of how that sounds; I mean "beauty" in the context of training artificial intelligence) is that if you have the disease, it's not self-limiting. the disease *wil…

I was actually pretty impressed how all the parties pulled together on this. Every party had some suggestions that were implemented in the final bill, and they pushed it through quickly, and with support from everyone. It is very nice to see that politicians can act like grownups and work together when the need is there.

Perhaps, in all fairness, with all the testing going on and the research everywhere, the fact that they noticed it this soon maybe helpful. But, damn, this is beginning to get on the last nerve I have.

Idk man. Humans are pretty unreliable and hallucinate all the time. Can AI really trust them with tasks like that? I wouldnt.

I saw a video talking about how a certain “generative” ai couldn’t create an image of a wine glass full to the brim. It was a really clear example of how ai truly isn’t creating its own images the way a human artist could. It can’t even truly combine concepts to make anything new. It can only remix and regurgitate what it’s already seen, and if you try to ask it for something completely outside i…

The only people who really push AI art see creating things as a business. They're not here for the actual work and they don't care about the intent, they're just here to sell you on art as a product. Which isn't worth a ton, especially when it's a janky and inconsistent product.

That tiger poem was absolutely amazing, brilliant, and touching. That AI created it almost instantly is mindblowing. There truly are so many wonderful things that AI can and will do for us. But I remain deeply concerned about how bad-intentioned people will use it. Many thanks for this truly informative and eye-opening video. Instant new subscriber.

This feels dangerously optimistic. AI isn't just another wave of automation, it’s a paradigm shift that’s outpacing our ability to adapt. Past industrial revolutions replaced physical labor over decades. AI is replacing cognitive labor across every industry in real time. There’s no clear safety net, no obvious 'new jobs,' and no historical parallel for how fast and wide this is moving. Minimizing…

Automation was hailed as a working man’s revolution and adopted by society because virtually all prominent scientists circa 1920 claimed that automation would reduce the work week 15 hours by 2000 without any reduced production. Instead, companies absorbed all the extra production, gave it to the already-wealthy, and created a culture where poor people see giving their labor to the rich as virtu…

I've always thought that this push for AI is so they have a way to enforce authority in their bug out bunkers when society finally collapses from these assholes selfish behavior.

Sorry this comment won't make much sense because it was later subject to automated editing for privacy. It will be deleted eventually.

So, they think AI is evil and believed it was going to be evil, yet they made it and continue to work on it?
