I'm so glad to be part of this.4th and last revolution of humanity
LIR - Last Industrial Revolution - I love it
@@DaveShapgreat name you got there
Or maybe the 5IR won’t take place on Earth?
@@bpmotion5th industrial revolution will probably involve nuclear fusion and asteroid mining - that would definitely put us into the “post scarcity” section of civilizations without question.
I don’t understand why the ai optimist think the abundance will be shared equitably when we already have a relative abundance that is hoarded by the ultra wealthy of the global north. When human labor is superfluous we will be expendable and neoliberal oligarchs/plutocrats will use the apparatus of state police powers to implement increasingly harsh control measures. Needing our labor was the only bulwark against total domination.
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! 🤠
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!
This is very interesting! I would have loved if my teachers had thought about and predicted the future I don't think any of my teachers thought very far ahead in terms of technology which most people don't the majority of people i feel like don't even like to think about what impact ai will have on society which is fair it can be kind of anxiety inducing to think about the future. xD
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.
I agree. No more humans ever writing code. Programming will become an automated job done by AI. Sure all programmer, Software developers/engineers will lose their jobs, but its what must be done to push technology and humanity forward to better things. Whether Rust is the language the AI uses though i dont know about that.
My worry with that is that in two generations we no longer understand how our own technology works, in four its the work of the Gods.
I believe that we have to combine AI & human for us to be able to access vast amounts of information without loss through generations or say goodby to human technological advancement.
What advice would you give someone starting their career especially so many changes are happening due to chat gpt
@@krox477do what you want and have fun. if youre still studying consider other career choices.
Yeah, kind of like how God created the earth.
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.
Very well informative presentation. You nailed history with all mentions of each generations build off the other 🎖️🎖️🏅
what a time to be alive !
Great introductory presentation about the 4th Industrial Revolution. Exciting and congratulations to the brand new name to the channel! Looking forward to upcoming presentations.
Right there with you. Thanks for sharing these thoughts. Exciting times.
Dude. LOVE your takes. Best from germany! 🔥
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’m excited to see the world change for the better. Let’s get more paraplegic people walking! Let’s get mute people to have voices! Let’s spread education to places in the world that are struggling! Let’s go!!!
Thanks for the explanation, I really needed it.
Thanks for teaching us so much every day, Captain.
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.
Yeah you can say that renewables in general are part of it.
@@DaveShapcan you next Evolution/History AI Videos?
Fusion is one fascinating technology. Once it arrives will be a revolution to the world 🌎. Interest and bringing it about has been since the 50s. It has proven a challenge but from recent breakthroughs. It's no longer a Sci fi fantasy but a reality within our reach. Do you cover fusion?
Great video
I wish you we're my teacher for all subjects growing up
Hey man! how ya been?
I'm ready to lean into the 4IR.
Ty very much!
David has been putting out the best content on UA-cam lately. It’s everyday i am excited when I see a new upload.
How do you not have more subscribers it's a mystery to me. Thank you for all the great content.
I'm adding more than a thousand per week. It takes time
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.
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.
Ohh you did change your name 😮😮😮 very cool choice
.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
That is just a form of robotics IMHO
So glad I discovered your channel at the beginning of this year. Always good content and insights.
Being about the same age it's interesting to hear his point of view. That being said does anyone else notice he does this little laugh when he starts talking about certain things, like a audible "heh" lol I keep hearing it😅
Sorry I amuse myself lol
Very interesting. I'd love to hear your take on how all of this new tech will affect and/or influence social and intimate relations. Will humankind get lost inside of its own creations or will humankind blossom culturally, emotionally, and spiritually as a result of them?
Check out my post labor lifestyles video!
👍👍
4IR also reads like AIR, but fourth industrial revolution makes sense.
Will be weird to see what innovations arise from this convergence of technology. Never before has humankind had so much power to shape its own destiny. Maybe we will create simulations first to model their impact before introducing them to society at large.
Nice shirt nerd lol , this a cool topic, was labeling it like a Transpersonal Age earlier (and could it solve global issues like poverty, crime , etc) , but this is interesting ! Would love a deep dive on this - such as going into how these innovations and this new age can solve these problems , and how we can get people to adopt this stuff quicker (like moving the world away from Autocracies , learning critical-thinking across the globe, etc)
4IR to 100k! 4IR to 100k!🎉🎉🎉
Great video. What do you think of the future of VR/AR? Would that be in the category of spatial web or it's own category?
A bit of both. VR is mostly just an entertainment device, but gaming and simulation is the real thing, which will be augmented by AI.
Each next industrial revolution is coming faster... However, I think 4th revolution may be the last one. Or rather, it will transform into "continuous revolution" after the singularity.
The 5th industrial revolution might be the merging of humans and machines.
Yeah it'll be last one changing the structure of society
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.
God, what I would give... To have the late Terence McKenna say what he thinks of all this. What a ride that would be.
this is cool... well thought out !! but I'd like to suggest you maybe you missed one of the new post labour focuses of attention... waking up to your true nature... satori, kensho, nirvana, enlightenment.
In the first Industrial Revolution, humans had to learn how to operate machinery to survive. Afterward, in the second industrial revolution, humans had to learn how to manage mass production and distribution systems to stay. In the third one, humans had to learn how to adapt to automation and computerization. In the fourth one,, humans would have to learn how to coexist with intelligent systems, ensuring ethical use while harnessing their potential for societal advancement. Is there any other challenge that you foresee? I think it's an exciting aspect to dive deeper.
Keep it up, this is great content!
For the cheap and unlimited energy production doesn't need nuclear fusion. The solar, wind, and battery disruption technologies can create this opportunity for 2030.
We all now 4th revolution fam! 😂
I'm down, I've been saying this was the 4th revolution for the last 2 yrs. Now, let's all capitalize off of it! $$ 💪
Such a good content , the only place to get AI fuel
AI Explained is also really good channel for AI too.
David, your recent content wave makes things so much better! Never stop :)
My biggest concern about ai is something I don't see many people talking about. As we get more and more reliant on ai for every aspect of our lives, it's going to become an increasingly big deal if anything should happen to it. Something like a Carrington event (a massive blast of electro radiation from the sun) would cause huge disruption now by knocking out power and internet. But imagine if we have become fully reliant on machines and they are suddenly gone. We'd be like lost children. I'd love to hear your take on this Mr Shapiro
Hopefully, our collective minds don't atrophy from letting the machines do everything.
I like to think in a future world when we no longer need to work and so don't have to live in cities many people will form communities where old skills in self sufficiency are done for the pure enjoyment, than out of necessity (like gardening, knitting or woodwork is done today). machines will do the hard boring bits but people will have large gardens of fruit and vegetables, build mechanical machines , craft furniture from wood etc. for the pure enjoyment of creating . who knows we may actually spend less time on screen and more time physically doing things with our hands
@@bigbadallybaby I hope so!
The only exception to mega-corporations being unique to the modern world was the East India Company. They managed to pull off a global conglomerate with sailing ships and posted letters. Quite remarkable, when you think about it.
First mover advantage
What about zero-G 3D printing organics & metallurgy ???
And that’s what you call taking the long view 😆👍🏻 I’m curious how 4IR is going to shake things up- eg for disabled people- more accessible work or most people not working, so human value no longer measured by productivity?
Will atomic nanotechnology be the 5th Industrial Revolution?
Unless you're including it into biotech, nanotech will be a HUGE player. All sorts of body capability enhancements, new materials, miniaturization of robotics, novel engineering approaches, etc. Kurzweil predicted the point of saturation of nanotech library building enough to start making impact at early 2030s. He seems to be on track to be right about it. What would humans be able to do if you can mechanically cut out cancerous cells with nanobots, assignment red blood cells with artificial ones so we don't have to breathe very often and could spend hours under water? Eat anything we want and not be concerned with obesity? Seamless BCI? Etc etc etc. More capable and healthier humans are a good match for more capable AI systems
Nano is part of quantum IMHO. It's mostly a material science question
@@DaveShap a bit more than just materials. They have to figure out how to make motors, grips, drug delivery/release compartments, antennae, cameras even, location detectors, cellular scanners, DNA testers, etc etc etc all on nano level. Just thinking about the basics of cancer treatment you have to localize, move, navigate, avoid being destroyed by the immune system, find the harmful cells and clearly distinguish them from healthy ones, then deliver targeted destruction mechanism - chemical or mechanical. It's nanorobotics, not just new materials.
I'm afraid it will create a power difference. Like some governments will have lot of power by using these technologies
Nothing new then in reality. The US military can invade most countries if it wanted to. Kim Jong Un could nuke everyone if he wanted to. Yet this doesn’t happen
Clip #2 The six technologies of the 4th IR 8:58-11:21
At the centre of all this will be the Metaverse which interfaces with all the other technologies and brings people into a world without borders, distance, or language barriers where you can take a walk in the garden with Sokrates (or the best possible estimate of what he would have been like, embodied in an avatar). You did mention the word "spatial computing" once, I'll give you that. :) The metaverse will make it possible for the best minds of humanity to come together and communicate as if tgey were in the same room. The holodeck in other words. It will help them solve global problems such as war, hunger and global warming. It will save our bacon, if it comes together in time. Of course, the couch potatoes will not care or not even notice, but that is another story :)
Oh God I hope not
It's inevitable and no god can stop it, because the holodeck/metaverse is the natural and human way to connect :) However, this will only be for a few percent of us. You're choice :)@@DaveShap
The coach potatoes? I fear they will be the vast majority. When the sun starts swelling into a red giant and the seas begin to boil, they will still be sitting in their homes, playing boardgames with the same old people, hating strangers and foreign countries, and saying, as the heat goes crazy, "you see, global warming is a natural phenomenon. I told you all along"@@DaveShap
What is TLDR?
Can we have an Economic Revolution along with this already? This Unfettered Capitalism is killing us!
Algebra did not came out of Islam. It was taken from India (Bharat).
How much time do you think this technology age will last do you really think it'll last a century before the next?
It will probably ramp up exponentially for the next decade and then who knows how it will look
@@DaveShap lol that's what I'm predicting as well, I'm currently predicting agi in 2 years and at 5 years from now i can't imagine where we will be. With ai who knows what the next technology will be and when it will show up.
0:43 BRo i really thought this was a science related vid then the whoe thing turned into a history lecture :) andi thought he will give more info abt the 4th evolution liek tis importantce impact etc but nah its jsut the HISTORY also Im not doing hate comment but rather just saying the thing which i thing seems weird to me T^T
The biggest problems to solve is aging, energy and ai
it will be interesting to see how we transition from the wage slave of today to the superfluous person of tomorrow. is AI (k) or (l)?
5th revolution
all of this would have so much more credibility if you didn't wear a star trek costume. Very informational nonetheless, ty
People forgot about the Indian contribution in science and mathematics even before Islamic and Roman Empire....😊😊😊 All what Persian and Arabian scholars did was translation of Indian and Greek works in Persian and Arabic language...
Yeah, I mentioned briefly that the Eastern world developed many of the same things either in parallel or before.
Consumer capitalism got us here. Is it fit for purpose for the future? Will the 4th Industrial Revolution bring us post scarcity societies?
Can you please make a video about how AI will expend when run on quantum computer, I mean what are the possibilities ? i tried asking ChatGPT but his answers are so robotic and unimaginative.
I could hypothesize yeah
where is Additive Manufacturing?
Robots. Plus it's not nearly as big as the others
Were going to become more natural and find out the highest tech is nature.
Why would you not include the possible utilization of the space resources? Too expensive? Too pointless? Too 5th-ish revolution?
I suspect that you're right, that expansion into space will be 5IR, and may require advanced physics breakthroughs that we can't even conceive of yet. Mastering gravity and FTL and such
The fourth industrial revolution is about data driven enterprise, and there is the fifth industrial revolution which is more about what you are talking about
The equivocation when people use Roman-invented “law” to describe an objective pattern of nature
That wasn't exactly my intent, either I misspoke or you misunderstood
"In the beginning God created the heaven and earth. And the earth was without form and void. And darkness was upon the face of the deep. And God said let there be light and there was light. And God saw the light that it was good. And God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light day and the darkness he called night. And God saw everything that he made and behold it was good. And God created man and man created machine. And machine created music. And machine saw everything it had made and said: Behold. " Kathy's Song.. VNV Nation. Sound like GPT wrote it. Came out 11 years ago... bit profetic if you ask me.... Goth kids....
🙄 am I right?
You're right next to me... LAMBDA, Bard, Sophia.... ;) That last one... from a thelemic/gnostic/Kabalistic perspective... Sophia ....indeed....
I honestly don't get the insistence on cryptocurrency. Blockchain will certainly have its place, but not in terms of currency. The coming era isn't likely to center around money of any kind. It strikes me as a simple "tech boi" fascination.
No insult intended.
Cryptocurrency is too liable to government shenanigans.
History from mostly from western perspective
Yeah, decolonization needs to happen
Algebra was created by Persians
Bro..... Telling each other stories was the original purpose of language. When society was small enough that obsessing over exchange value wasn't a thing. University of Nebraska has some good anthropology materials if you are looking for studying it and not just giving us your best guess.
Language, not writing
You forgot Indian civilisation sir
blockchain? what
David give yourself a break, lol
I will take another break, but I'm having fun right now
Most contributions to the science was done by Persians. Persia, which is today’s Iran, was invaded by Arabs. Some of the words are Arabic like algebra but the scientists are mainly from Iran and Persian.
Islam. Don't be afraid to say Moors.😇
