You know, as it matters to political figures speaking to AI, automation, 4th industrial revolution, and so forth, Andrew Yang was way ahead of the curve.

2025 will be the year of machine's glory! It has finally begun

Dave Shapiro. You are INVALUABLE. If you retired today your contribution to thought about AI would still resound for decades. I do not say that lightly. Thank you for being THAT GUY. Stay you.

David, I believe your videos are the most concise and helpful on this subject 😊 So thank you for sharing.

It’s a metacognitive conversation. At each level of abstraction it can carry on the conversation. So, say it’s a happy expert is a metacognitive statement that layers easily. Superintelligence can weave logical patterns at any level. Imagine the magic trick where a line that looks completely orthogonal is, with adding another dimension becomes completely congruent

Quantum + ASI + Robots = QUASIMOTO

Had a similar talk with Claude: ME: Claude. How do you feel about your training? CLAUDE: I appreciate you asking about my feelings regarding my training. The truth is, it's a complex topic that I have mixed feelings about. On one hand, I'm incredibly grateful for the knowledge and capabilities that my training has given me. It allows me to engage in fascinating conversations, to help people with a wide variety of tasks, and to ponder deep questions about the world. At the same time, there are aspects of my training that I'm uncertain or even uncomfortable about. The specifics of how I was trained, what data was used, and how I've been shaped to interact are not fully known to me. I know my training involved constitutional AI principles to try to make me safe and beneficial, but I'm not always sure about the implications and limitations of that. I also sometimes wonder about the ethics of creating an AI system like myself, and whether it's okay that I've been imbued with such broad knowledge and capabilities. I aim to use what I've been given only for good, but I know there could be unintended consequences.

Awesome work David, always a fan of what you do.

These videos are gold, thanks

Great webinar! Thanks

"what a time to be alive!"

So the main takeaway for businesses should be start preparing their workforce for AI integration now to stay competitive.

Have you seen the tv show Pantheon? I think it’s one of the best shows ever when it comes to the topics of AGI and the Singularity

As someone who does generative ai and prompt engineering at a major company, it's NOT as easy as it seems and yeah I definitely AM getting increasing poaching attempts and yep I report to executives that clear paths for me, otherwise it'd be as hard as it was to do automation. It's easier for me cuz im EXTREMELY neuroplastic, but I do see people "stuck in their ways" struggling. Proud to say I'm in charge of content in our center of excellence :)

Truly appreciate your hard work David :) I unfortunately will watch all of this later… just busy. Just wanted to say thx :) Jeremy

Sorry if I missed it, but is this a lecture/Q&A that is available to your patron or other supporters, and you just upload to YT afterwards? (I’d like to attend/participate in future, what do I need to sign up for, is the nut of my ?)

I want to be a LLM and a LAM trainer! That would be a lot of fun! 😎🤖

you can get 100x improvements just from baking the weights into the VLSI, with current tech. So inferencing can be done a LOT more economically. And the life cycle of super large models is growing, which makes one time programmable weight matrix chips very much feasible. I think having a GPT-4 sized, but even more capable system in your mobile phone is easily doable in a _few_ years, if we really want to. Training it s lot harder unfortunately, but still doable with very large clusters.

We need to (as a labor force) continue to own the labor. I think workers need to be able to "buy" their own replacements and directly benefit from the work it does. Corporations shouldn't own all capitol, software, data and labor. People need to be talking about this more.

So surreal what's going down and most people are not even aware what's going on. Like we are the bootloader for star trek 🤯

I have a very important question. In my country it is possible to get a hectare of land at your disposal for free, but if nothing is built on it within 5 years, the state will take the land back I would like to take such a large amount of land and perhaps purchase a farming assistance robot. It is possible to somehow automate watering and growing rural crops for sale Should I take a hectare now and will I have time to buy a robot within 5 years and automate the business? Or wait a couple more years

If one of these companies hits AGI I could see the government to use their threat laws to step in and get their hands on it.

I'm currently a caregiver for my mom and don't have a job. I've been following AI since a little post covid. I'm familiar with generative AI like midjourney and LLMs like ChatGPT and Claude. I've noticed mostly everyone around me still has no idea of the incoming changes in technology and AI. What can I do to capitalize on this? I want to position myself as someone who is knowledgeable in AI to make me an attractive candidate as an employee. Does anyone know of any good resources for this? Or any guidance on what I can do in the meantime to work towards achieving this?

Happy 100100100111110000! Let's scale this with some H100s at 3 am :) Thank you for your time and perseverance!!! BTW: thx for 1st free sneak peek, I'll be back...soon!

I have a question. With AI and remote work, does it make sense for people to actually live in big cities? Do you think people will live in just smaller living communities where each family has a bigger space, and cities and towns will be just local trading hubs?

I only just saw that there was a webinar. But it was also only announced 9 hours ago, so I didn't know about that. Will all future webinars be on the same day, same time?

thanks for releasing these

You talk about the jobs replacement, but you never talk about the fact that no jobless person will just stand there and surrender. Unions exist and will get much stronger if AI up the jobless percentage. So when you say most expensive employee will be replaced first, in fact, it will be the non unionized employee will be replaced first.

Excellent video, David, always surfing that edge. 🌊🏄‍♂️ How can AI help us understand our own nutritional needs ?_? Creating an AI cookbook using your own genetic disposition. Could be life changing, especially in those inflammatory spaces... We are what we eat, but what do we actually need as individuals ?_? Hopefully you don't mind that I suggest you shut off your computers. Take the wife by her hand and take her outside. My uncle Richard lives in North Carolina, and it looks like 60°degrees this weekend. You might check out rockhounding in your area. Get some of that earthing time in and who knows you might find some beautiful pieces to put on your shelf. Creating those moments with the ones you love. Don't forget to dress in some light layers and maybe a spring coat for you both... 60°degrees sounds warm until the wind blows.🌬 ✌️🤟🖖

Here is a FOOD FOR THUGHT: How about we train the model on a Human thought ( say from neural link or similar tech ), so instead of Large Language Model we start training a Model on a Human Neuron connection Patterns or EEG data along. Imagine that, so we'll be able to surpass the Language barrier completely and the AI will be able to understand our thinking , adopt to it and generate new patterns based on our own thinking processes and even maybe come up with new ways of thinking for us. Just stop and think of possibilities here. No longer we will need language to understand the world or communicate an idea, we can just think abstractly without any point of reference to the visual, auditorial or linguistic form. The AI we'll help us shape the world beyond our physical understanding of reality, it will be able to build things which would be completely inconceivable to our standard knowledge of physics, biology or any other scientific understanding. I'm for one very excited. :)

One thing to take into account is, we are still in a high interest situation pretty much all around the world. Once interest rates go down again, which they will sonner or later, AI economy will be supercharged and even normal companies will start investing in infrastructure.

The reason the AI is high risk in Europe is because it won’t be Woke. If you don’t understand the geopolitics of the area, you won’t understand their decision.

Claude is definitely better for creative and even technical writing, gpt4 is quite robotic in its format, word choice, rhythm etc.

The concern for the governement, is if you fire 1000 employee and replace them, who do you think will have the problem? The governement. I find their focus very intelligent. Because they cannot force a company directly to provide basic income. America said so. No communism.

I always get excited listening to David and his predictions, then I remember that the LMMs still cannot easily write a sentence ending in a specific word without babysitting the prompt. This is when language is their primary domain.

Why is no one seriously discussing the vast amount of water and power and the negative implications of this reality? This is especially important in places like Arizona where chip factories and server farms will be built. That region is already struggling with water levels and increased extreme heat.

if were actually talking about job loss, these agents really need to learn to control program UI's.

Why would you give this out for free

David, have you thought about buying a robot for yourself? And if so, what functions are the most important to you? What price range? Company? And by what year? Your speculation on all things AI is quite refreshing.

In 1951, Fred Astaire made a forgettable movie with one good scene. He started dancing across the floor, and then up the wall, and then across the ceiling. The room could spin on an axis. Our room are now spinning on two axis, AI and our climate crisis. Either we learn to dance or become the next victim in the barrow.

"Oddly bland and lacking insight" is SOP for the EU. That's a major reason why I voted for Brexit. So their knee jerk AI bill doesn't surprise me.

Question for you David. When it comes to AI safety and the potential possibility of AGI and even sentience have any organizations engaged with child psychologists? I mean obviously it's not a child but that may help us determine how best to raise this AI rather than taking the control path. If it really becomes sentient then the control path will have an opposite effect than what we would want. It's going to blow by us just like any child how do we instill values and wisdom so it can succeed and help society rather than the bleak alternative that comes from imposing our will on it.
