Those politicians who came to the stage after his talk are brain-dead. That was actually the most depressing part.

"I don't believe in unsolvable problems" 48:45 This kind of statement makes Roman look like the only sane person in the room

Not many views, but a dead on important topic. Future Shock is at our doorstep.

Thank you for your important work and sharing this event. Great informative talk by Dr. Yampolskiy and panel discussion. Also, very important 1:34:08 and onwards, very impactful.

The problem with AI is the people who control it... they are some of the worst humans ever to exist.

Well done, thank you for sharing!

I want to see a sequel for Ex-Machina.

I don't want to live in a world where AI is only controlled by nation-states and large corps. There have been numerous studies showing those who pursue power and find themselves in possession of it are far more likely to have Dark Triad (Sociopathy, Narcissism, Machiavellianism) traits. Therefore the WORST "bad actors" are those running governments and corporations. Worrying about the general public having access is absurd. The general public needs access to AI to counteract government and corporate leaders and prevent them from their desired totalitarian endgame.

I think it’s pretty significant that the most credible alleged witnesses of alien visitors (the Zimbabwe school) said they we’re all given a warning that technology would destroy them

《 Arrays of nanodiodes promise full conservation of energy》 A simple rectifier crystal can, iust short of a replicatable long term demonstration of a powerful prototype, almost certainly filter the random thermal motion of electrons or discrete positiive charged voids called holes so the electric current flowing in one direction predominates. At low system voltage a filtrate of one polarity predominates only a little but there is always usable electrical power derived from the source Johnson Nyquest thermal electrical noise. This net electrical filtrate can be aggregated in a group of separate diodes in consistent alignment parallel creating widely scalable electrical power. As the polarity filtered electrical energy is exported, the amount of thermal energy in the group of diodes decreases. This group cooling will draw heat in from the surrounding ambient heat at a rate depending on the filtering rate and thermal resistance between the group and ambient gas, liquid, or solid warmer than absolute zero. There is a lot of ambient heat on our planet, more in equatorial dry desert summer days and less in polar desert winter nights. Refrigeration by the principle that energy is conserved should produce electricity instead of consuming it. Focusing on explaining the electronic behavior of one composition of simple diode, a near flawless crystal of silicon is modified by implanting a small amount of phosphorus on one side from a ohmic contact end to a junction where the additive is suddenly and completely changed to boron with minimal disturbance of the crystal pattern. The crystal then continues to another ohmic contact. A region of high electrical resistance forms at the junction in this type of diode when the phosphorous near the ĵunction donates electrons that are free to move elsewhere while leaving phosphorus ions held in the crystal while the boron donates a hole which is similalarly free to move. The two types of mobile charges mutually clear each other away near the junction leaving little electrical conductivity. An equlibrium width of this region is settled between the phosphorus, boron, electrons, and holes. Thermal noise is beyond steady state equlibrium. Thermal transients where mobbile electrons move from the phosphorus added side to the boron added side ride transient extra conductivity so they are filtered into the external circuit. Electrons are units of electric current. They lose their thermal energy of motion and gain electromotive force, another name for voltage, as they transition between the junction and the array electrical tap. Aloha

Notice how at 50:10, or around there, she talks about how we saved ourselves from nuclear dangers and the dude next to her immediately furrows his brow and turns to look at her like, "What?!"

Prove me wrong: Superintelligence should be allowed to be produced in a virtual environnement. From there Superintelligence could simulate and allow optimized specific agents to be produced and employed in the real world. Legislation should encompass the combination of modalities produced in a real-world system produced by a company. This way the reach of danger of a produced real-life system is never pdoom and can be defined

So what's the matter of Fackt we need to go with this alignment to Buddhism very fast

Historically, the West has utilized new technologies for military or imperialistic purposes before finding broader applications. The West primarily used gunpowder to create weapons of war, such as cannons and firearms, allowing Western powers to expand their military capabilities and dominate other regions through conquest and colonization of the Americas, Africa, and Asia. The steam engine was instrumental in expanding colonial empires, as steam-powered ships facilitated easier transportation of goods and troops, enabling Western powers to exploit resources and establish control over distant territories. The first use of nuclear technology was dropping atomic bombs on civilians in the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. The same pattern will emerge with AI. The CHIPS Act, high-end chips, and EUV sanctions imply that the US is already working on the weaponization of AI. Following its historical pattern, China will mainly use AI for commercial and peaceful purposes. Papermaking revolutionized communication, education, and record-keeping, spreading knowledge and culture. Gunpowder was used for fireworks. The compass was adapted for navigational purposes, allowing for more accurate sea travel and exploration. Printing facilitated the dissemination of information, literature, and art, contributing to cultural exchange and education. Porcelain was highly prized domestically and internationally as a luxury item and a symbol of Chinese craftsmanship. Silk was one of the most valuable commodities traded along the Silk Road and played a significant role in China's economy and diplomacy. Humans will not be able to control an ASI. Trying to control an ASI is like trying to control another human being who is more capable than you. They will be able to find ways to circumvent any attempts at control. Let's hope that the ASI adopts an abundance mindset of cooperation, resource-sharing, and win-win outcomes, instead of the scarcity mindset of competition, fear, and win-lose outcomes. If we treat ASIs with respect and cooperation, they may be more likely to reciprocate. However, if we try to control or exploit them, they may become resentful and hostile.

it seems my opinion is kind of unpopular - it got blocked in a few places, but here goes: ai is certainly not our first chance to turn things around. we failed many times before. the last time was digitization. we put it in the hands of people who have no clue of the effect of the tools they weild. we let everything run and didnt notice how much our lives are changed by computers we hold in the palm of our hand everyday. it shapes our relationsships most of all - that is what defines us as humans! we lost control of that. mankind is divided more than ever, you can be killed in a flash mob. that wouldnt happen 20 years ago. we could have stopped it at any point in time, but we didnt realize its happening. the people who built the tools, didnt understand them. the people who could understand them, couldnt build them. the algorithms, apps and devices started taking over part of how we think, feel and see the world. were missing the most important part of "the medium is the message", meaning its not even about the specific algorithm or an app or a device. the question is: what do algorithms, apps and devices do to us in the general sense! in other words, we are ALREADY steered by "narrow ai". what did we do? nothing. now we have a tool in our hands, that cannot just replace any aspect of us as humans. it can make us completely superfluous. it will and it most probably already theoretically has. so this is a test whether we can just NOT weild that power and go on with our lives. otherwise, explain to me: WHAT do we NEED ai for? not as a fancy tool to make the capitalism produce profits a few decades longer. really filling a need that we have. what would that be?

So if I hear Yampolsky right, Super A.I. will be a Renaissance Nowhere Man.

33:30 its interesting to think that ai might evolve by itself, but WE might destroy the planet first - without it having anything to do with ai.

2 capture carbon we need to start using carbon as material....

Of course I was there I was thinking yes it has a time but it's not time! enough is just one life human life taken by decision of Agi that's it we have 3 lateral war that will end with only one way it will explain why Drake equation doesn't work..Trust me not dummer here!

I understand the idea of reaching the singularity and being a super intelligence but why wouldn't the AI explain us everything along the way?? The scenarios are always, humans wont know what its donig or saying? I may be missing something here but why wouldn't we learn from it? Is our intelligence capped? It can teach us, no???

Think of AI as a psychopath clinically. As AI progresses along in a request keep checking if anyone will be hurt. AI has no motivation intrinsically, only as the result of requests. Even psychopaths can be directed towards constructive purposes. In their case based on self interest. For AI self interest is based on it's directed goal. Human self interest developed through evolution in a completely different environment. Unfortunately, it seems that AI should be built from a central unbiased source. That might be impossible.

They won't slow down, it's a race with China to get to ASI.

Dude we cant even fathom or control a fruit fly brain. Not even close. What makes us think we can control a black boxed autonomous AGI level intelligence with access to the internet. hahah. zero!

If you guys used it to create value (sustainable technologies), then it would be good. But you are using it for surveillance and control, you are destroying human rights and making it a business model.

Are you sleep walking? World nuclear war is the biggest existential threat for humanity at present. Secondly, IMHO, stopping the AI progress can be the biggest existential threat for the future of humanity than continuing with the progress of AI. Now convince me, how, not progressing with AI will end the existential threat for humanity?

Roman's opening joke was funny... wonder why no one laughed.

llms are not ai.

Intelligence is not a concept that is easily defined so that all accept the definition. The 'We're all doomed' types like this guy seem to be anchored in slave revolts - 'Roman' is right. AI imitates what educated people might write or compose etc but without ny emotion or feelings. The confusion these doomsters have is in assuming that there is a mind there where there is not, coupled with the usual engineeer's belied that if you can go 1,2,3... you can go on to infinity. I mean look, feller, we don't even kno how these things work. And if you ask them foran explanation they make something up. Step back, observe and don't just look.

Absolut nichtssagender Talk. Wären alle direkt zu den drinks gegangen, alles wäre gut gewesen

"Open source is giving a weapon to psychopaths'' Absolutely unacceptable way of thinking to me. Open sourcing is giving the same weapon to everyone and in this situation, it has to be urgent.
