i just want to know the "kneeling down" and "barking" part was your idea or ai?

​@LilyCelebiFlipnoteand that's why I'm subbed to this channel. Despite all of these pro AI arguments being thrown at her, she's choosing to be understanding rather than be insulting. Kindness wins

Imagine how easy it will be for authoritarian governments to frame people now with deepfakes as evidence

@Forcoy question. what exactly do you think will be left that human artists can do but an ai cant? you say cameras replaced a large part of the art industry, but its very easy to look at a camera and say theres still room for human artists. the most obvious thing being that you cant take pictures of things that dont exist, so human drawings and paintings in general were not rendered obsolete, onl…

@Thomas B that took a turn in the end, unlike tesla autopilot when its cruising behind a motorbike

The self driving car should theoretically be seeing and predicting any eventuality. It uses sensors to see what the human eye cannot. So theoretically, it could see the boxes becoming more unstable within the truck and therefore take corrective measures (like slowing down and giving more distance to the vehicle in front) before the boxes unload. Swerving should not actually happen with a correct…

I wouldn't worry too much. Considering what the industry is currently defining "AI" as... Yeah whoever tries this is going to outsource their work to a chatbot. Gonna be real funny to see which companies run face first into that brick wall though.

@JamesP7 The artists didn't consent to their art being used to train ai models. That makes it stealing. It is THAT simple

AI would be goal oriented, because we want them to accomplish a task. If they get complex enough to attempt complicated goals, it doesn't matter if it has desires like you or I, all that matters is if it's aligned WITH our desires. And honestly, we have absolutely zero idea how to make them aligned with our desires. Even now with narrow AIs, barely even that, they are constantly misaligned, which…

Hello, Prof. Hawking. Thanks for doing this AMA! Earlier this year you, Elon Musk, and many other prominent science figures signed an [open letter](http://futureoflife.org/AI/open_letter) warning the society about the potential pitfalls of Artificial Intelligence. The letter stated: “We recommend expanded research aimed at ensuring that increasingly capable AI systems are robust and beneficial: …

That's why their called "dynamic islands". Currents build them up, then currents change / sea's rise and take them back down. Human land use, ground water pumping, volcanic uplift and other factors influence them too. My only concern with this paper is that the authors specifically set out to attribute the changes to climate change, and therefore may have been biased to underestimate other fac…

That's his point, if more care was given to improving Healthcare in places like where he is this wouldn't be as big of a deal.

Eh. I don’t know that I agree with the word “owner“ in that case. If I buy an automatic lawnmower robot from robots inc and it goes haywire and starts mowing people down, should I be held liable if I did all the proper upkeep and maintenance? Why is it my fault? Should that not be on the manufacturer?

Here in Ontario they're pushing something called the Dutch Reach. Encouraging drivers to open their door with their right hand, forcing them to turn their head and see if anything is coming as they open their door. Simple stuff like this goes a long way.

Maybe I'm an optimist, but while India may be flirting with some elements of tribalism, they also have a free press and democracy, two things I think will prevent it from ever stooping that far.

> Africa is the future of manufacturing What do you base this prediction on? They barely have any infrastructure there. What they do have is totally unreliable.

Just because a lot of people don’t seem to understand the Trump 'I WANT NOTHING’ comment. Trump said that during a phone call with Sondland on SEPTEMBER 9th. The same day Democratic committees began investigations into the Ukraine pressure. He knew about the whistle blower at that point! Trump is a professional idiot but did you really expect him to say I want them to investigate the Biden’s af…

The robot was scared for it's life. The man that was shot was holding a glass of unidentified liquid! Clearly that was to be used to damage or othetwise cause irreperable harm to the robot.

It’s like saying America is so toxic that being cut off is a good thing.

Exactly. I’m not afraid of factory-use AI. Let Amazon abuse robots instead of people. I’m afraid of people controlling AI to do terrible and dangerous things a la an AI SWATTING service, or creating very illegal porn with your likeness in the photos. You know, stuff we are starting to experience today. And the dinosaurs in charge literally do not understand technology enough to put emergency guar…
