I'm so glad to be part of this.4th and last revolution of humanity

[mullahoo]

Any video that gets me to stand up the second it ends and instantly start writing on my whiteboard is a banger, and this fit the bill-- keep cranking these out, good job Dave! 🤠

[patrickjreid]

I can't even begin to tell you how much I love that you do these videos with the Star Trek shirt! Happy Star Trek day!

This is really interesting to watch. I know that when I was in school, just in a low level, tradesmen school, my teacher talked about the 4th industrial revolution in terms of what he knew. It was fully about PLC's, and integration with computers into the industrial process, using controllers in conjunction with robotics to accomplish tasks. Not so much with highly advanced items like are discussed in this video, but purely the marriage of regular industrial processes, with computer control.

Of course, this is from the mouth of a man who started his career by installing the first electrical power into factories, well houses, grain towers and the like, in remote post-war agriculutral area's in the US. He saw PLC's as still a developing / growing field that was only just getting more and more integrated, using what he saw as a really 'dumb' system, integrating with the 'smart' system of databses and computer information that the people in office buildings are familiar with.

It's really cool, seeing someone with more of an IT, and futurist background talking about the 4th industrial revolution, and its requirements!

As a 30 year software engineer I am planning for a "near" future where we write almost everything in Rust for both front and back end. None of that Rust will be written by humans however. We need to take declarative programming to the next natural level. Tell the AI what you want done not how to do it. We can then iterate on the 'what' as we search out the best solutions. The idea is like one of a movie producer or director. We yell action and cut while telling the AI players where to stand and how to act until we are satisfied with the output.

[FrankTYoung]

Most intriguing is the role that language, symbols, communication has played in each of these periods. Things that facilitate the spread, sharing and curation of human knowledge have given rise to major advances. AI and LLMs will be viewed by historians as a major breakthrough enabling the 4th Industrial Revolution.

[gerardolopez]

Very well informative presentation. You nailed history with all mentions of each generations build off the other 🎖️🎖️🏅

[Snicklink]

Dude. LOVE your takes. Best from germany! 🔥

[pyramidal_fever]

Exciting times ahead, great coverage! Indeed, I have been pondering about the tremendous implications of an AI with sufficient symbolic cognitive power in science (not there yet and no LLMs, as a computational neuroscientists I am biased towards spiking networks).

In a nutshell, I am talking about the ability to model progressively larger computational structures (that is: natural phenomena and their surrounding environments through the lens of computations, eg car traffic, physical systems, chemical processes, medical conditions, ...) with higher accuracy and possibly agency (that is: being able to adequately manipulate and act) will drastically impact the very foundations of our civilization. The capacity of translating any natural phenomena of every domain into valid computational formalisms, such as sufficiently powerful languages (theory of automata) or mathematical spaces (algebraic topology, category theory, ...), will expand the horizons of our understanding to unimaginable regions. Imagine being able to access the rules behind any conceivable system, from politics to economics, from ecology to obscure mathematical conjectures.


The danger I feel under-appreciated are here mainly three. 1) our brain is structurally 200'000 years old, same cognitive power as back then, meaning that our understanding of stuff is limited and thus the language through which the AI will deliver the knowledge it has produced will have to be limited as well and information will be lost, the AI will always have an advantage (unless: transhumans). 2) whatever society will emerge (through a lot of blood I presume) will have to deal with our psychological needs bounded to our old brain; this will not be easy to deal with at all in terms of individual political relevance, power structures, familiar dynamics, etc. You covered these aspects quite well though. 3) effectively applying computational understanding to domains like ideology, history and culture (dont ask me how, that's the AI's job) will shake the very bones of society, we will reach frightening levels of collective self-awareness (ego death? type-2 civilization? collective madness?).

I would add solar wind and battery, as their combination completely decentralizes electrical power, which in turn has huge impact on political power. Add nanotech, new materials and 3D printing compounds on decentralization.

Great introductory presentation about the 4th Industrial Revolution. Exciting and congratulations to the brand new name to the channel! Looking forward to upcoming presentations.

[K.F-R]

Right there with you. Thanks for sharing these thoughts. Exciting times.

[rileybrownai]

I wish you we're my teacher for all subjects growing up

[vectoralphaSec]

So what im getting from this video is i should switch my career to one of those 6 fields. But which one do i choose? So many options.

[bigbadallybaby]

.one thing I also include in the 4IR is 3D printing - this can potentially change the cost of manufacturing drastically where 99% of the cost is energy, raw material and transportation - instead of workers pay being a factor

[lliw]

How do you not have more subscribers it's a mystery to me. Thank you for all the great content.

[SUPERFunStick]

Thanks for teaching us so much every day, Captain.

When projecting re nuclear fusion (NF), it is important to distinguish between being able to do it at all, and being able to use it as an economical source of grid energy. Wind, solar, wave and geothermal are all practically unlimited sources with zero fuel cost. The problem is that the capital cost of putting in a NF power plant has to beat the capital cost of equivalent output renewables. Even if someone is successful demonstrating NF in the next decade, it will be some time before that capital cost can get lower than renewables that are currently dropping in cost every year. I predict that NF will make great spaceship engines because, there, cost does not matter and fuel mass is critical, but back on Earth, cost is going to set the pace of deployment.

[RenkoGSL]

Another thing I found interesting was that people who experience trauma are afraid, like terrified to speak about and to write about it, but to see pages upon on upon pages be greated in writting for them scarys the trauma because it is so exposed to the velocity of conversation, what was once a struggled approach is now, well easier I guess.

Algebra did not came out of Islam. It was taken from India (Bharat).
