AGI Revolution: How Businesses, Governments, and Individuals can Prepare

WRITING STUFF

[KCMNJL]

As an unemployed (since Covid) ex-infra guy transitioned to software dev just prior to Covid, I'm finding myself already fatigued trying to sus out my path on this up slope. Suffice it to say, I am going through my own existential your videos are like a soft cushion to lie down on for a few minutes. So thank ya

The Canadian senate is actually supposed to be reviewing a bill to set up a framework for UBI in Canada today.

[TheJanny]

This was one of the best hopeful videos you've made. Thank you for your dedicated research and work as usual.

I am totally off-grid, water, electric, etc. Still fully and wirelessly connected. This stuff is more exciting every day, thanx to people like YOU David !

That's a great condensation of American life: "You're on your own, Scrub, get good." I laughed.

[DrivenSpice]

This was incredible. You touched on so many things I’ve been concerned about. And in my circle, I feel like I’m the only one even thinking about it. Thank you so much for sharing this.

Spot on about status game. It’s obvious that human will pivot from careers to status games (sports, cognitive sports, other creative things endeavours) as their full time thing (and of course family, as always). That said, if we enter the AGI age without aggressively focusing on creating abundance (meaning, almost any good / service price goes towards 0), we will face an insane human catastrophe.

I was doom-scrolling reddit the other day and saw that the Canadian government (aka my government) is actually starting plans to experiment with UBI and I got really excited. However, as soon as I went to the comments, there was literally not a single mention of AI that I could find, and most people were screaming about "where is this money going to come from? not from my taxes! free money will just lead to faster inflation!" And I'm just sitting here like does nobody even have the slightest sense that even just maybe this will be necessary sooner or later in order to just help distribute resources created by AI and automation once job loss is at an all time high? No? Well, glad the people in charge are at least leaning in the right direction despite this reaction.

Thank you for this video. I greatly appreciate your thoughts and the time you take to prepare these presentations.

I work as an EEG tech in a hospital. I recently came across someone who said they participated in an EEG study involving AI training. EEG interpretation is definitely an area where AI could make a huge impact. The medical field in general will change, immensely.

It's refreshing and always baffling to see that the smaller channels are putting the most effort and creativity into their craft. well done. I'll be a lifelong subscriber for that

[xKlondikex]

As an individual who is attempting to pivot to AI during the AI talent crunch, I've created an AI SaaS with GPT as my co-developer. This would have taken a full tech team 1 year, or a rock star in 6 months. I did it in 3 months. I get a lot of calls from contracting companies, but zero interviews thus far.

[guymorris]

Well done. I am a trained economist with decades in the tech industry. I retired to write thrillers about the dangers of AI and you have done an exceptional job at outlining the major issues relative to economic and social dangers. I am now a subscriber.

I greatly appreciate your insight and your optimism.

92 years ago, Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World addresses this head on in which the five castes spend their time participating in leisure activities. Looks as if this will be the case if not today, sooner than later.

The producer of this video needs to review a study “rat utopia“ that will give insight into the future of humanity when all needs are met.

[RyneLanders]

Seeing this coming feels like being one of those people on the rooftop of the building under the mothership in Independence Day. We're looking up at this advanced technology with wonder and hope, and we're entranced by the beauty and mystery in its promise, but very quickly for most of us it probably won't end well.

[brettgarnier]

I agree with you. I've been a dev for 25 years and recently left a FT role to consult part time and focus most of my hours on learning msft semantic kernel, copilot development, llms, vector dbs and building my own .net core 8/blazor application integrated with multiple ais. If it takes off great, if not its going to be an awesome POC to use as a demo when I go back to the workforce and companies know what tech they care about to implement their ai goals. I think many of us acknowledge that our career field will change drastically, and now is an opportunity to do well if you can get the skills early.

[hyper_channel]

Good one David, for those of us involved this whole thing is almost too much, even when trying to cool down the hype, the telltales of a massive incoming change are already there in the open. Excitement, fear, anxiety, hope all in one.

Thank you David so much for your work!!! I cannot tell you how much entertainment, education and honestly Joy I get from your channel:)
