Reflections on Death | Are You Afraid to Die?
Beautiful, absolutely beautiful 🧡
Thanks for the kind note @-Deena. It's a sweet story.
This video is shit. You didn’t even tell him those puppies don’t fucking exist. Because in his mind - everything is created with a computer these days. I don’t think you managed to make him understand what he was watching. You should’ve also showed more crazy videos that are going around - when people morph into birds, which then morph into rockets flying into space, etc. Finally, stop thinking “ai changing the world is just around the corner”. It will be around the same corner for..well..I bet hundreds of years 😂
All this coming from a guy that would likely spend hours on the phone with a fake tech support guy buying gift cards to free a princess or something. Elderly people have notoriously been dangerously behind the curve.
You should be showing it to the hardcore big iron pioneers of the 1940's, 1950's and 1960's... the lunatic fringe mathematicians, hardware hackers, engineers, and early software programmers... Finally, in 2024, they have the computer they all wanted and would of k1lled for back then. At least that's how even the 8bit hackers from the early 80's feel...
Beautiful 🧡
Thank you!
Anti-aging tech is not coming soon enough. Too many people are falling... (That and too few young people paying taxes for larger old populations will make things awkward)
Sora's main problem is likely to be that it may expensive af.
What a sophisticated gentleman with a great mind! Thanks for sharing and the best of luck. Don't worry about this being misused as man has misused everything he has touched, and here we are!
Thanks for the kind words. I spoke with Irving the other day and he has been reading all the comments on this video. He's been deeply touched by the kind words. Thanks for watching and sharing!
Wow, nice take!
This kid will go far. Smart kid. Smarter than JB
his generation had great science fiction. he's not even surprised by this.
Good point, I meant to ask Irving that. The AI scifi example that most immediately comes to my mind is the HAL 9000 computer from 2001 A Space Odyssey...and that didn't give a very optimistic view of AI :)
I forget which comedian said this. He's talking to a Russian girl he likes and asks her, "Wanna come up to my flat? I have some bread." lol My generation is completely oblivious that this was actual reality for many people at one point.
Yes, these are stories that are important to never forget in hopes they're never repeated.
Wise words from a wise lady. May she rest in peace. Condolences to Beverly's family.
Thank you for the kind note
Irving's words are exactly my words when I started using ChatGPT in 2022
Have your feelings changed since then?
Dude's more open-minded about AI than Gen-Z !
Haha, true! As a tech enthusiast, I've got qualms about AI. But his perspective felt reassuring. Thanks for watching!
Wonderful! As Carl Sagan said "Imagination often takes to worlds that have never been, but without it we go nowhere"
Great quote, huge Carl Sagan fan! Thanks for watching
Wisdom
Computer! Harem. 16th century. Engage.
Wow, he simultaneously summed up the real power and value of AI and while demonstrating what it's lacking, which is the very human kind of subjective and personal insight that only someone like him could provide. I love this guy.
You summed it up well. I hope to be half as wise as Irving some day. Thanks for watching!
This channel is pure gold. Thank you so much for capturing these stories. 'Lest we forget' 🧡
Too much hype in the questions "pretty soon any human on earth will be able to type in a handful of words and generate a video that looks like it was produced by the finest special effects department or video production company in the world".... This remains to be seen. You can't just say "omg it got so much better over the last five years, there is no chance it will plateau in the next five!". Currently Sora is incredible, and no one argues about that... But. Under scrutiny, most of what it produces doesn't hold up to reality and is obviously AI-generated. Many of the demos published were even faked in part. Just claiming its "about to be" better than the finest human productions is putting the cart way before the horse.
That's fair. The timeline is questionable, but the potential is fascinating. Thanks for watching!
@@ThePosterityProject too the moon right? I hope not, but that's just an opinion. Thanks for your reply!
*Also, what is it with people creating fantasies for other people instead of making reality so fantastical that nobody gives a shit about fake shit?*
*Pretty soon? When is A.I. going to acknowledge the fact that there are adults out there that enjoy pornography and want to create A.I.-generated pornography? What about people that regale in using “profane” words? When is “pretty soon”? A.I.’s been feeling like a kindergarten class for a very long time.*
*That’s so strange how you showed him this bullshit instead of like, I don’t know, telling him that nicotinamide riboside is a new technology? Just a fucked up and abusive video - that’s all. This is abuse of the elderly and audaciously posted because it looks “harmless”. Fuck you, but truly at the end of the day, I wouldn’t be surprised if that 103-year-old made other people’s lives a living hell while he was younger. He’s not special in this case. Human beings are so fucking adept at making this entire human experience SHIT on an every-moment basis.*
You can see them trying to get the "you dang youngsters!" Reaction out of him so hard
Didn't mean to encourage it, but we sorta expected it. Instead, he wowed us with his response.
Imagine if it actually existed not just in a blog post
Haha
Is this video made by A.I. ?)
No, but we'll take that as a compliment!
A sense of perspective from a man who appears to still be learning and adding to his wisdom.
Thanks for watching!
you explained it so kindly
Thank you for watching!
This looks so real, it’s crazy. I am personally afraid of this technology for our future!
Awesome answers to dumb ass leading questions...
To think, the first time he went to the movies as a kid, it was to watch silent film.
Maybe that's why this silent video resonated with him? :) Thanks for watching!
This is an obvious question. Its just a watch. Only a materialistic shallow capitalist brainwashed consumer would consider the watch to be a symbol of respect towards their father. Its what the rich rolex business owners want you to believe. "Rolex, a holy family heirloom that only a sociopath would not respect and only losers do not own".
Not a very kind comment. To part with something that reminds you of a lost loved one is hard for most people, regardless of what it is.
plot twist he is Mark zuckerberg
wisdom
this gentleman just killed my fear of aging .
Haha, glad to here that! His words certainly provided a calming perspective. Thanks for watching!
@@ThePosterityProject at first I barely hoped he can hear you , let alone understanding what you're talking about , but then he came up with this very insightful comment which not only helped with my fear of AI , but also my fear of aging . 🪨 🐦🐦
@@JeriReino love that, thanks for sharing!
Complete fail. This is not a profound perspective. He just wasn't thinking about the implications. He said "it's expanding on all our art and literature". Except it's not. It's replacing all out art and literature! And replacing it with yet another cheap FAKE! BAN ALL AI!!! BAN IT NOW!
Thanks for the feedback. How do you think AI development could be banned globally?
“Purely by a computer…” ummm no
This channel is great! Makes me think
Appreciate the kind feedback! Thanks for watching
Beautiful! Human! Loving it!
Great!
SO WELL PUT.. "we do it all the time [create artificial realities] all our literature.."
Agreed, we were really struck by that insight too. Thanks for watching!
@@ThePosterityProject I think this is important work. You can see why some cultures really honored the aged and their wisdom.
@@u2bemark we really think so too. Thank you!
Great Guy ! I hope more youngsters stay as open minded as that guy !
I certainly hope I'm as open minded as he at that age. Thanks for watching!
Emocionante o comentário que ele fez, enquanto a humanidade desdenha de seu ápice, esse senhor vivido como ninguém consegue somente enaltecer a tecnologia. E ainda consegue transformar seus sentimentos em palavras de maneira brilhante, fazendo a gente sentir o que ele sentiu. Parabéns pelo grande vídeo!
Thank you for the kind comment!
Is this an AI video? 😅
No AI here. But I'm sure we'll need to ask that question in seriousness soon. Thanks for watching!
Why does he low-key remind me and look like Carl from Detroit Become Human?
That's a cool guy
He really is. Thanks for watching!
this 103 yera old guy is more open to innovation than my bosses - ) they still think that gen AI is hype -)
They still think it's hype? Love it or hate it, it's coming! :) Thanks for watching!
