Would be nice to get an hour long mix of these

[viviansytsui]

I loved this episode because of how many diverse and interesting questions we got in! Please make more and longer versions of this!

[katrinasammons]

Oh this is sick!!! The mix of different experts talking about similar topics I loveee

[lolalola]

I’m sorry, but the idea of a robot taking care of me when I’m old and lonely because old people barely get to see people to begin with is exactly the OPPOSITE of what I want in life

[andersonchang]

I love how Bill just called science guy. lol

[khanvct]

Bill Nye has completely lost his enthusiasm for science and is officially in his dgaf era.

[heisnx]

Pretty cool video.
It's fun to see professionals answer questions like such.

[katelynb]

This is the best combo of speakers ever. Love this video

OBJECTION! Regarding the AI, the same "a person with theoritically years of expertise" argument could be made for artists but we're actively seeing AI try to replace artists by people who don't want to pay. Even though you likely won't see AI replace lawyers for the courtroom, a lot of the smaller uses someone would have for a lawyer, such as a consultation, drafting contracts and research would be replaced by Ai which would impact a lot of lawyers starting out. Similiarly, the drudgery of law comes impacts the price/value/income of a lawyer so either a lawyer would either have to inflate the prices to keep the same average income or they'd have to take more cases to make up for the overall lack of income lost by Ai doing the drudge.

Robot specialist didn’t answer the question about jobs being wiped out lol

[krizhielcarnacito]

im not even kidding this motivated me so much to learn more about science as a humanities student

[joaoguerreiro]

Having a cognitive scientist answer AI questions is like having a bird biologist answering aerospace engineering questions haha I would rather listen to a computer scientist because they are the ones that actually develop AIs

[chaseisbadmonkey]

The lawyer, I'm wondering how his explanation is relevant to almost all fields and careers. I've heard the same thing happening about Drs needing the same sort of help because there are so many diseases, disorders, etc and a million different ways to treat any of them. So they need AI to narrow down what their patient has and options of how to treat it, but they still need perform their skill as to exactly what and how to do it. So what other careers needs this?

[aelaan]

This gets the creative juices going. Why can AI not design food that gives us energy but not puts on weight... huh, come on computer

[naciremasti]

Thor Hanson just needs his own wired weekly video.

[mr.ridiculous]

😂😂😂 Half the answers are basically them saying A.I. will never take their jobs, but the truth is A.I. will end up taking everyones job

[HardKore]

They have not kept up with the latest ai products.

[VCTRLCSJSS]

Lawyers will DEFINITELY be replaceable for AI.

[kovacsattila]

0:01 Saying that spacetime is expanding into something carries that assumption that spacetime occupies something what is not spacetime. It's wrong. Occupation by definition only can happen where is space. The whole statment is pointless what is this question based on. Its shows that the person who asked the question skipping steps for understanding.

Predictions predicting the future are unpredictable
