A.I. ‐ Humanity's Final Invention?

Humans rule Earth without competition. But we are about to create something that may change that: our last invention, the most powerful tool, weapon, or maybe even entity: Artificial Super intelligence. This sounds like science fiction, so let’s start at the beginning.

Humanity: "You will save us right?"
AI: "I need your clothes, your boots and your motorcycle."

[ScalarInfluon]

Artifical Intelligence can never beat natural stupidity

[THEOPDESTROYER]

nobody else seems to have said this, but the superintelligent AI design looks sick and menacing

[kevinlawrence]

Whoever did the art for this episode did an exceptional job.

[Harrier]

I appreciate that pandas are used every time they mention animals lacking intelligence.

[sysbofh]

The solution is easy: make the AI think humans are cute. After all, cats and dogs are thriving - and don't have to work.

A caveat not mentioned in this video is the increasing power requirements of machine learning. ChatGPT 3 took over 1000 megawatt hours of electricity to train and requires 260 megawatt hours per day to run. GPT 4 needed 50 gigawatt hours to train. A Forbes article includes estimates that machine learning could require 1000 terawatt hours in the next couple of years if the current trends continue. The major limiting factor of machine learning, as others like Sabine Hossenfelder have pointed out, is the power required to train and run them. At this rate the whole world won't be able to generate enough electricity to raise an AGI. On the other hand, the actually general intelligent human brain consumes about 25 watts and can run on cheeseburgers.

[RILDIGITAL]

This video serves as a powerful reminder of the exponential progress of AI over the years. The potential of AGI is both intriguing and terrifying.

[johnlee]

I appreciate AGI being represented in the form of No Face. Such a creative and profound Easter egg

"humanity is not ready for what will happen next. Not socially, not economically, not morally." I love it, thanks

6:15 Something to clarify here. When he says we don’t know how NNs work, we know how the machine *functions*, but not how it *operates*. The mechanisms of the technology are known, but the information stored in the neural net is not human-readable, so you can’t ask the ai why it made a particular decision.

As a Computer Science graduate, my last existential crisis was the first time I used chatGPT, I never thought I will live the day where I will be talking to a computer like I’m talking to a human.. and every time openAI updates ChatGPT I get more creeped out

[spartan]

"I want AI to fold my laundry so I can make my art, not make my art so I can fold my laundry."

[tyronx]

"Scared of one of humanties greatest potential threats? Don't worry, just buy our merch!" has got to be one of the most poignant endings in a Kurzgesagt video.

[sabinamather]

I love how one part of world is moving ahead into a doomed supreme intelligence future, while on other side of the world some people are still fighting archaic rigid religious wars, wonder if it would take AI just to put us in our place, 'A cosmic nothingbeing'

[ninjaasmoke]

I’m always fascinated by how MANY things had to be just perfect to make life possible. The earth being the perfect distance away from the sun. The sun being the perfect temperature and brightness. The earth’s size, composition. Blah blah.


It’s absolutely beautiful
