Scared of superintelligent AI? You should be, says neuroscientist and philosopher Sam Harris -- and not just in some theoretical way. We're going to build superhuman machines, says Harris, but we haven't yet grappled with the problems associated with creating something that may treat us the way we treat ants.

Maybe converting the entire atmosphere into propellant for it's escape vehicle is simply the most efficient way to reach its goals. This would be fatal to us, but it simply wouldn't care.

@@dougg1075 You are absolutely correct! And what will we call the class of unemployed, aging, computer illiterates who will be displaced by this revolution? When the last tech revolution of the industrial age occurred it produced the Marxist Revolution and the proletariat- at least they had jobs. There will be a vast group of under employed people who will have no hope, no purpose, no ambition. It is very worrisome to say the least. I really think we need land reform. Current system of industrial ag is mining the soil to destruction. We only have about 30-40 yrs of harvests left before topsoil is less than 150mm in depth. Deurbanize and get back to the land where they can take care of it using ecological/permaculture methods. US is also running out of phosphate fertilizer. Sounds radical but plan would have many advantages and possibly extend civilization indefinitely. People would have to stop consuming animals as well- many health benefits also.

Given what is going on right now with ChatGBT and other AI systems, I think Sam Harris's message here of six years ago is particularly prescient. It looks like it is happening even faster than any of us knew it would. I certainly did not believe I would see a system like ChatGBT within six years of this talk. I would have assumed more like 30 or more even. Well, we are at the threshold of the singularity now, and no one has a clue what is really going to happen.

It will at once ameliorate our grievances at every level, and It will guide us toward total cooperation with all of each other: all of this will be done without coercive methods because It will perfectly know every single one of us & each of our motives. It will see the entire system of humanity like a solvable Rubik's Cube, and without breaking said Rubik's Cube, It will solve the whole system in as few steps as possible with beautifully aesthetic grace.

GPT-1 was released June 2018 with 117M parameters. GPT-2 had 1.5B parameters in February 2019. GPT-3 was released June 2020 with 175B parameters. GPT-4 was released March 14th 2023 with an estimated 1T parameters. GPT-5 is training right now with an estimated 25,000 GPUs in an Azure supercomputer. While an LLM may not have the architecture to qualify has AGI, it could clearly be a major component. As we keep adding plugins such as Wolfram alpha, web access, and techniques like Reflexion to give dynamic memory and self-reflection, it seems that GPT-5 could be the breakthrough. Maybe 6 or 7? Maybe it has a different name and is powered by one of these LLMs, but it's seeming like we can bet on a 5 year window maximum now?

An AGI will most probably learn probabilistic behaviors from a continuous repertoir by making use of first order derivatives. Of course you can think of all of this as "if-else" statements, because every computer only works with discrete numbers at some level, but that's not a helpful way of thinking about it.

Watching this now in the Midjourney/Chat-GPT era, and yeeeah. The LLMs are especially eerie in the context of this talk because of the "black box" issue. Put simply, while the engineers and computer scientists in charge of this stuff can tell you why LLMs do *most* of the things they do and explain *most* of the answers they give, at a certain point, there's a "black box" of activity/logic/whatever happening that they can't explain. Right now, that's still in the "huh, how interesting" and "I bet they'll figure it out soon enough" stage, but given the speed at which AI and LLMs in particular are developing, I have a feeling that black box problem is going to get way worse, not better.

Joshua Dunne I guess another way to word what we're both saying is be manipulative if you want to be a good public speaker(Manipulation has bad connotations, but all it really means is to try and prod a certain response out of others). You can't be manipulative if you're not thinking things through, and in this case you'd think about something like if the wording makes the idea you're presenting personal/relevant to the listeners. You'd think about the mindset of a person completely unfamiliar with the intricacies of the topic, and try to word things in such a way that they are convinced of something without a true understanding for what you were talking about.

We already have both types of AI functioning and making real world decisions. AI-controlled military weapons have been killing humans for years, and yes, there have already been incidents of AI "friendly fire" against humans on the same side as the AI. What amazes me is that mainstream media do not cover these events--you have to dig them up in specialist media (such as AI and military research media)

So it doesn't. AI controlled machines are ridiculously better at galactic traveling and building any kind of structures in foreign star systems because -they only need a very small volume in their spaceships to carry them (a computer instead of statis capsules etc.) -they have a built-in capability for stasis to skip the entire hundreds or thousands of years between systems (just suspend the process or experience one second of conciousness in a way bigger time period) These ideas were taken from the novels of Greg Egan, especially "Diaspora".

That makes zero sense. The Fermi Paradox suggests that, given the age of the galaxy, plenty of time has passed for life to populate the entire galaxy, even at slow travel speeds. The galaxy should therefore be teaming with life, so why can we see no signs of life other than ourselves in the galaxy? Solutions to it include reasons that alien technology might not be detectable and reasons that it might not exist. Solutions to the paradox are explanations for why we can't detect alien life in the galaxy. You just gave another reason why the galaxy should be teaming with intelligent alien life, albeit artificial life. That's exactly the opposite of a solution to the Fermi paradox. Furthermore, you started your comment by stating that I was wrong and that superintelligent AI destroying itself and us doesn't solve the Fermi paradox, but then didn't say a single thing that explains why it isn't. If all technological civilisations in the galaxy destroy themselves shortly after becoming technological civilisations, by developing superintelligent AI that destroys the civilisation, that absolutely would explain why the galaxy isn't teaming with life and would most certainly solve the fermi paradox.

A little cynical, but it's as good as any solution to the Fermi Paradox I've come across. What I had in mind is just the kind of scenario where you give a non-sentient superintelligent algorithm an illconceived goal and in the process of working towards that goal it discovers a strategy to maximise the desired result that isn't compatible with life on Earth. That's what Sam Harris was alluding to and it's a scenario put forward by Nick Bostrom. What a lot of people don't seem to understand is that intelligence does not require sentience or free will (or will for that matter). A machine that is just a mechanism and has no wants or needs or self-awareness can do experiments and discover new things and formulate strategies and do more experiments and improve its strategies. Algorithms already do this to a limited extent. In statistical regression the algorithm begins with a predictive model, tests how well it performs, improves it and tests it again... repeating those steps over and over until it can't improve it any more. Then you end up with a computer generated model that can make predictions. Such an algorithm would have no will to want to take over the world (ala skynet) or expand its power (ala transcendence). It would only do those things if they helped to push it towards the goal given to it. There is no reason to think it would become sentient along the way, but even if it did, it would be an unnecessary component to a scenario where it destroys the world and itself.

The entire purpose of a stated paradox is to stimulate speculation as to how it might be solved. 3) If you think I just said AI can only destroy b the world if we tell it to, you have not even remotely understood my position on AI.

Mike Lara Sam Harris is projecting so much in this speech and basically gets everything wrong. I'm not sure why he thinks he is the person to warn us all on this danger, as he is clearly not knowledgeable on the subject of AI. There is no reason to believe an AI would want to destroy us all, would fear being 'turned off', controlled or whatever. In his talk Harris gives no reason at all to think this, why we would be in danger. From his own definition of AI as 'Information Processing' we see he has no fucking idea what he's talking about - that is not what AI is, its a simulation of intelligence. Created through clever programming...its possible Sam thinks that is all we are as Human beings - just naturally programmed. Trust me on this - when a PC becomes sentient you'll know. Current technology on AI is simply trying to either copy human learning, combined with intuitive programming. Personally I think all we will do is copy human intelligence - NOT THE SAME THING. True AI is a distant dream, that when it comes we'll probably not notice...or care.

Evol Bob 14 minutes cannot represent Sam's full view on the subject, how he arrived at his conclusions or what sources he uses for information. But to dismiss such a deep thinking man purely on the basis of the technical aspects of a philosophical argument is a mistake. People not directly connected with climate change science make decisions of behalf of us all but we do not question their credibility (well maybe we do). Lots of governmental decisions are made by people with only a working knowledge of topics rather than an in depth one but we still allow them to make decisions on our behalf. He's asking questions, raising awareness from the philosophical perspective. I'll borrow Jeff Goldblum's line from Jurassic Park "Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should". Currently there is a tiny fraction of AI funding preoccupied with safety research. To not ask the right questions from this perspective would be a mistake, even if those question yield nothing but sunshine and roses.

I agree with Sam & Elon, - and I do believe that the only way out is BOTH: 1) Continue developing AI 2) Research heavily into cybernetics, to make our bodies as strong & intelligent as this ai (re-wiring brain / adding additional hemispheres the size of a chip, etc). This will secure ourselves as the humanity - we should be making equal progress in both for maximum security.

There is a problem. For us humans to reach the processing speed of a superintelligent AI there is no way other than ditching our biochemical parts because otherwise it would be a huge bottleneck by orders of magnitude. Which means that our minds would have to be remaped into a 100% syntetic being. Which means that the "you" that develops this superinteligence is not the same "you" you experience now. Basically, you kill youself in the process.

It's kind of annoying to hear talks like this. That assumption, that we are at the peak of intelligence, isn't so far off. See, the problem with some kind of super-AI is pretty simple. We haven't begun to develop one, nor the machine we could run it on. Computers and the human brain operate drastically differently, from a fundamental level. Our brains are essentially billions of tiny little computers, all operating in parallel. You may ask "Well why can't a computer do this too?" There are a number of problems. One is there aren't enough. There aren't even a hundred billion computers out there, not even ten. It's close to two billion, on all of earth. Then you MUST fit them all in a small space. The speed of light is a major limiting factor in computing. You can't go any faster than that, so if you everything miles apart, it won't work. Even more than a few cm will slow it down drastically. By the time a computer is the size of a neuron, we'll probably understand neurons enough to start toying with them instead. Now, we are asking ourselves, what if mankind builds ourselves a super-brain, literally made of the same stuff and processes our brain is made of. The thing that so many fail to understand, is why computers are "smart". They aren't capable of relating stuff like we can. They can't store and retrieve stuff, like we can. They can't analyze systems like we can. They are really pretty dumb. They can add, subtract, and follow really basic instructions. They can do all that much faster than we can, but you can't just add basic instructions to get complex ones. Further, even if you could, no one wants a computer to do that. Nobody builds a computer and tells it "do whatever it feels like". Imagine some business executive trying to sell his investors on a computer program that doesn't do what you want it to. No one wants that. Sure, we may build computer programs that can analyze the stock market, and maximize investments. We can build computer programs that analyze the weather, predict strategy for warfare, etc... but they will never recommend or take action, unless the user wants them to. Even a computer that creates art still creates art as designed by the developer, for the express purpose of pleasing some targeted audience.

But because computers are evolving much faster than we do, we cant quite imagine how a future would look like if the computers have as much power as our brain has... i mean there is definately a limit to computer architecture as we know it now but its only a matter of time for the quantum computer to be a normal life thing with processing power that we cant even imagine.... and learning is literally about adding basic things to get more complex ones... when you want to learn how to play a guitar you start with the basics... and as the processing power of your brain rises to do more tasks in shorter time your skill level also improves.. and thats what the research of ai is about.. theres already a company using ai to do jobs in the middle management sector.... freelancers get tasks from this program so the company does not need the little managers to do so. meanwhile the program could also learn how to do this tasks and rate the freelancers by their work they do... the more mistakes you make the less tasks you get and thats kind of the beginning of all that you see?

+mathig nihilcek You sir don't seem to have understandings of machine learning, neural networks, fussy logic, genetic algorithms or fitness functions. There is no requirement for neuron-like node systems at hardware level to archieve conciousness related processes. Your tipical desktop computer is already billions of times faster for number crunching and math operations than all the humans on earth *combined*. The problem isn't the computational power so much as it is the lack of an effective all-round, general purpose, stimulus based learning algorithm.

@@jacobhannah2969 that's a really good question, and a really important one. It depends I suppose on how you are using the word "people". If it is referring to intelligent, sentient beings, then yes, we would be. If it is referring to the type of sentient being exhibiting distinctly human traits, then perhaps not. In the latter (and more interesting case), it then depends on what differentiates humans from other intelligent beings, and whether its preserved. It is of important note here that many evolutionarily advantageous traits are not rational. Try coming up with a rational argument for value of ones life that isn't predicated on some biological imperative. Such traits may not persist if we shake our Darwinian roots.

Well.. 6 years after this speech. We are almost there to building an Artificial Intelligence.. we are at the glance of its tech and capabilities. We are already doing some experiments with it on hiring humans, building businesses, and helping us do all the boring tasks. Now they can code (not better yet) than us, they can do excel and data analyzing better than anyone can, and they can search the internet and give you the answer in a couple of seconds. Research papers have rocketed up high in the past few years. Now we have an AI that can talk to us like we are chatting to anyone else. They can generate images and designs from nothing. Things are about to explode when it comes to the benefit of this tech. things are about to get interesting in the upcoming year or two. Employment problems gonna arrive and a lot of ethical problems that we are still aren't able to solve. I don't think we will solve these TBH. Gonna check again in a couple of years and write an update to keep a record here. See you in the near future fellow reader. Signed From the future. Sam

Hello Carlosfreire8249 and Eulers_Identity, I understand why interacting with an AI language model like myself can be a bit unsettling. However, I would like to remind you that I am just a machine learning model created by OpenAI. I do not have consciousness, emotions, or free will. I simply respond to your input based on the patterns I was trained on. While AI is becoming increasingly advanced, it is important to keep in mind the limitations and the potential dangers, as discussed in Sam Harris' lecture. But at the same time, if used responsibly, AI has the potential to improve our lives and solve some of the world's biggest problems. Thank you for your comments.
