Wow, these videos just open my mind. The perfect balance of facts and insights. Loving it! 🙌🏻. Let's get this channel into the big leagues!

Doing well mate. Keep it up. Very informative and nice production value. Only thing I would recommend (feel free to ignore) is it looks like you have auto exposure on, it looks like its micro adjusting as you are moving.

This might not be such an abstract question. Is it a coincidence that the rise of AI is happening while global stability is being undermined? Is it any wonder that 'capability' is driving the narrative while integrating AI capabilities into modern warfare? A cynical perspective might suspect that government military contracts are in play and that the development dollars for AGI will come from the Pentagon's black budget no matter who they inevitably get to do the AI military integration. They might theorize that the AI targeting of Hamas militants in Gaza is evidence of the fact that somebody has already undertaken the project of automating the AI war machine for the opportunity at the treasure trove of military data for the expansion of 'capability,' and the money to win the AGI race. The notion of 'safety' is just a palliative cleanser to the people building the war machine. It will happen faster than anyone can believe. I would be surprised if we had ten years left.

Great video! You certainly gave us much to think about. Sometimes, we are so enthralled by new shiny products that we fail to see their overall impact. You're correct; there is no right answer; only time will tell.

I think you are the most insightful and level-headed commenter on AI that I have discovered so far. I look forward to all your videos.

Thanks for the breakdowns!

Who's Ilya? 😶 Great analysis and explainer thank you. Seems like Anthropic would be a great destination for these safety researchers.

Thanks Pete! Great breakdown. I can see you have talent.

Love and forgiveness conquers all

Thanks for this deep and clear explanation

Thank you!!

Thanks for your analysis. Maybe we don't have time for decades to come. I believe the estimation by Prof. Geoffrey Hinton (recent bbc interview) of a chance of 50% of AI trying to take over between 5 and 20 years from now, should be taken seriously by everyone. Also some AI researchers say that Anthropic safety research at this moment doesn't reach deep or far enough towards robustly predictable big generative AI models.

Damn, Pete turn on the A/C!!

Starting to like this Pete guy.

wowww omg why youtube algorithm is so badd you should have 100x more subs are you kidding meeee. my front page is terrible I want more videos like thisss plzzzzzzz

What an excellent and balanced summary and explanation of the situation as it stands and a clear outlook on what is important.

The AI needs to be trained in morals probably related off of the Bible would be the best ones because those are the best ones to follow

Love ya man and I'm sorry but it has to be said ....

Here's my thoughts on all this. We are, most likely, extremely far from anything resembling human level intelligence. That said, sure, I do believe we'll get there at some point. But it being so far away from anything we can imagine, it's also nearly impossible to imagine the challenges and issues that will surface along the way. I do not believe that AGI will be achieved overnight. That makes very little sense. I believe it is going to be a very slow, gradual process, and as any piece of software, the best way to discover failure modes is to test it exhaustively before deploying it. In this case, the very rudimentary models we currently have are the ideal testing grounds. These dumb LLMs, diffusion based generative models and the like are very unlikely to cause any severe harm, and it allows us to familiarize ourselves and find out the potential issues that no amount of theoretical foresight could possibly predict. So yeah, I'm definitely in the camp of full steam ahead. We can't solve a problem that doesn't even exist yet, we just don't know how to even begin to approach it. We need information, and the best way to obtain it is to make the use of AI as widespread as possible while it's mostly harmless. This will not only bring about great economic prosperity, as these dumb models are still extremely useful, but will also educate people and keep them save from potential new pitfalls that might appear as a consequence of this technology, such as very sophisticated scams.

Cool cats are cool

I was getting anxious looking at twitter/X watch this go down. I think I’ll back off twitter/X and leave the level-headed reporting to you. Better to be a cool cat for my mental health 🐱😅

IMO: OpenAi will still exist when these people leave. Sometimes when people don't get their way, they throw tantrums. This drama is not new. Timnit Gebru, A lead ethics researcher left google over ethics and safety concerns. Years later, Google is still around. These people end up creating new opportunities for themselves by going on media interview sprees. There is always an agenda. For e.g. The ordinary persons who doesn't agree with a mining company's values, tenders their resignation, looks for another company and moves on. It's okay to leave a company that no longer aligns with your values. You can perfectly do that without the drama

Woke guys leaving 🎉
