Post-Singularity Predictions - How will our lives, corporations, and nations adapt to AI revolution?

As a young mom who has been living with stage 4 cancer for over 5 years now, this is EVERYTHING I'VE BEEN PRAYING FOR! I hope diseases are cured in time for me to finish raising my family! Thank you for your predictions. I was hoping the same, but chatgpt told me it would be at least 15 years until it could help find a cure to metastatic cancers. I'm gonna lean into the hope in your words.

Dying in an accident in a post-immortality world is like getting the invincibility star in a Mario game then immediately falling off the screen 😅

It's really weird to see people still living out normal lives, not realizing what is happening is the biggest moment in the history of humanity.

I'm thinking I'll spend the next 500 years building an incredible garden.

You're a really interesting guy to listen to. I've been speaking about artificial intelligence with my friends and family and everybody's pretty much bored of this conversation in my circles lol I really can't get enough of it.

[mildredmelusine]

This was really uplifting. What if the world becomes a lot better instead of continuing to get worse? It gave me hope for my daughter's future. Also it's SO interesting to talk about!

The notion that we can keep control over AI much smarter than us is ridiculous.

[herbv]

What a banger, watched all 39:55 of it. It is crazy to think how much of society is totally oblivious that the biggest technological advancement of our time is among us. Combined with quantum computing or even stronger, its wild to think how strong computer devices COULD be.

It is my hope that AI will help us move away from the economic models based on exploitation and the illusion of scarcity to a society built on abundance and mutual respect, because if we don't radically change soon we are in very deep sh*t.

"Intergenerational PTSD is the greatest threat to humanity" well said

[gabbisss]

If this continues and we get real AI, an interesting paradox is that it will change everything and nothing at the same time. We will still be the same, will have the same philosophical problems, the same struggles with virtue and with good and evil, yet our material circumstances will be drastically altered and hopefully improved. That's very interesting and it shouldn't make us depressed. Ancient philosophy and religions tell us the same thing. We're here to work on ourselves, on our character. That will not change.

holy moly, this is an interdisciplinary type of video that i never knew i needed. thank you for this and god bless

[MarkosMiller]

These are my favourite type of David's videos, his insight is amazing, the other ones are good too but more academic / coding focused

[jaredtkatz]

This is such an incredible synthesis of information and perspective. Thank you.

[Distortion]

The singularity is not when AI is more intelligent than humans (which is a hazy question anyway), it's when AI can autonomously self-improve which leads to exponential growth in its abilities. GPT cannot do that, it relies on people to improve it.

Cool summary. Had thought of most of the things here myself relatively independently. Your perspective has been important to get that cross-referencing grasp on how reasonable I actually was. New food for thought also 😌

[phen-themoogle]

I really enjoyed how much depth this has. I agree with everything you said, and it was like you went much deeper than I thought about some of these topics, or a slightly different angle at points so it was very enlightening for me. It was also extremely enjoyable to listen to. Marvelous presentation! Thank you :)

[tripl]

Thank you so much for making these videos. You have such a colloquial way of explaining these things on such a grand scale and I hope as many people as possible get to listen to you. I’m going on to graduate school to study media psychology and AI in September and I can’t wait to synthesize everything I learn with your predictions and viewpoints! You have such a positive outlook that this video nearly moved me to tears when you discussed the possibility of a future that emphasizes the value of creativity. Again, thank you so much. Can’t wait to watch all of your future videos!

I think "Moravec transfer" kind of mind uploading, where people replace each neuron of their brain with an equivalent circuit while maintaining consciousness, Ship of Theseus style could be a viable way of transferring consciousness without feeling like we've cloned ourselves.
