SUMMARY:
2:06: 🤖 Noam Chomsky discusses the limitations of weak AI in achieving true intelligence.
6:53: 🤔 Chomsky discusses the capabilities of ChatGPT and whether it can be considered a form of thinking or consciousness.
13:31: 🧠 Consciousness only provides fragments of what is happening in our minds, while language and thought need to be studied scientifically rather than relying on introspection.
20:21: 🧠 The nature of human thought and language is a complex and unanswered question in science.
27:30: 🔍 There is evidence of a shared capacity for language among humans, and are similarities between language, music and arithmetic.

great work of this man studying thestructures of languages.in italy there was a professor like him, he was a semantic philosopher, U.Eco. music is an abnormal language, a miracle, creation of men, and is a great issue studying the meaning of the different types of music, each born in different social ambients, ciao from italy.

The best interview I have seen on the topic of AI. Such clear thinking, direct and deep explanations, intellectual charm of the best kind.

[opusdei]

What a great interview, its mind blowing to me that you have in 6 month only 15k views. Thank you for the interview

Excellent. Pertinent questions.
As an author I love the type of person who lives with a wall- filled number of books.

This was a very interesting, stimulating interview. It is sobering to be told that so much is hidden from our understanding and comprehension. It’s reassuring to hear that AI is only a bravura mechanical simulation of intelligent discourse. It may not take over the earth and wipe out humanity after all! He didn’t necessarily answer your questions directly or concur with their premises yet you elicited a fascinating and coherent presentation of his lifelong work.

[attackdog]

Good choice of guest and topic. His philosophical opinions are seldom discussed- or at least not nearly as discussed as his political views.

[onestepahead]

Completely agree. Great interview. Thank you.

[MamangFF-mnhn]

Subtitle is a program that I need to understanding topic clearly.. Thanks

[MoralScienceEducation]

Thank you so much fpr thr amazing talk(s)🙏. Assuming language and cultural affinity both, influence our perception of reality, how does this relate to multi-lingual and mult-cultural experiences in humans, and for AI to meet their moral expectations?

Why are subtitle unavailable when Noam Chomsky talk ?

[lesliecunliffe]

At 36 mins onwards Wittgenstein is briefly discussed; however, the participants misrepresent his views on language as 'reference', which is odd given the opening passages of Philosophical Investigations linked to Augustine are directed at undermining such a view. Finch (1995) summarises Wittgenstein's philosophy as understanding a unit of meaning as always combining what he called natural history, forms of life, and language games. Language is always embedded and embodied. This clearly works against language as 'reference'. I was also confused about how language in this discussion is classified as internal/external but without any reference to Wittgenstein's famous argument against 'private' language', more generally known as his private language argument.

Maybe the moon seems bigger because we see it in relation to objects closer to us. Thus we perceive it as larger. So the proximity to more closer objects on an horizon. Dunno doesn’t seem to mystical to me 😅 really enjoy his interviews

I'm fond of pointing out that my cats are far better at pattern recognition, decision making, navigating the environment than any of these AI models. Like orders of magnitude better, and it's even more impressive than that when you consider the energy they consume to do it versus AI energy consumption. Biological brains contain many capabilities that AI developers don't even understand, or have the slightest clue how to implement.

Can u turn on auto generated subtitle for this

Computers, whether digital or quantum, is still just a computer. It can compute, but it cannot think—here I include not the regurgitation of information but of imagining outside the box. “The Mind is a beautiful slave but a terrible master.” — Osho 🙏🏻😊

Chatgpt agrees with pretty much all of what Chomsky pointed out
