This is a stellar example of how two people with opposing fundamental beliefs can laugh together, learn from each other, and respect one another. There's hope for humanity yet.
I think between the both of them, the fundamental aspect is quite a minimal influence actually. They both believe in: love, family, treating people with respect etc. It appears as though Stephen is a rational realist catholic, in my eyes. Other than the 1 question, "where did everything come from" I think they agree on everything from what I've seen.

How can one fully appreciate the beauty of this without acknowledging its creator? Btw Adams - a decent science fiction writer - was profoundly ignorant on theological matters

Sometimes programs can make decisions better and find patterns we didn't but that's like calling a mathematical formula intelligent.

To Gervais' sentiment abt "SuperNature", I've long embraced the investigative and empirical processes of learning rather than anesthetizing my limbic cortex with ancient supernatural beliefs, mystical charms, and lore. I get exhilaration from the journey of learning, speculating, imagining, and asking questions. That's where growth and evolution come from. The ability to create. That's where I get a spiritual high.

Wonderful example of a willingness to have difficult conversations with people of differing world views. Kudos. As for AI, long before we will ever have to contend with a “sentient”, AI with “General Intelligence”, we will have to deal with AI that amplifies the worst of our imperfect biases, run by people, weaponized against people.
Nature is enough. And is amazing. Shame we humans now think we are superior to it and apart from it, rather than part of it. Our ancestors were far wiser in many ways.
The problem about AI is not how good it is at solving problems, it's how bad we are at defining the problems-to-be-solved to the AI. It's pretty unreasonable to fear AI "turning evil", but it's worryingly likely that AI will do exactly what we tell it to do in a way we didn't expect and prepare for.
It will only be reliant on the initial program and programers at first, than it will become autonomous. With the possibility of autonomous AI, a big quest is what is it's energy source? EVERY living being (in biology there is a specific definition of "life" and requirements) requires an energy source. Every plant, fungi, bacteria, and of course animals like Dogs, cats, insects and humans requires an energy source. So do human electronic inventions such as lights, computers, and AI. Except with autonomous AI it will move freely and develop its own program, and eventually program itself to create and program other AI (reproduction of sorts). If the AI has any sense of self preservation, and it's acquisition of its energy comes into tension with not just Homo sapiens or or other non human Metazoans, but with any life on earth (all life on earth is one "family" of common descent), than it will cause huge problems for humanity if it's energy aquisition disrupts ecosystems or trophic levels. It would make sense to develop autonomous AI to operate off of advanced solar power because it's renewable without harming earth based resources. Keep in mind that fully autonomous means fully autonomous. Fully autonomous AI will not be like any other form extant on earth, because with the exception of non living beings such as viruses (still debated), all living beings on earth have certain requirements for survival. For us Rhipidistia Metazoans we must breath air, eat food for energy and drink water, AI will not have these restrictions. Living beings are also reliant on a stable balance trophic levels in their ecosystems which compose their biomes and biosphere, AI will not have these limitations, they will have no need for keystone species etc. And with advances in bio mimicry, one day we may not be able to distinguish AI from biotic organisms from our earth line of common descent.

I resonate with Ricky on a lot of things, especially his kindness to animals..and what he describes here of nature being a super enough, is something taught in Sikhism as well. There is no need for the supernatural, this planet and the universe is enough of a miracle.
I love this guy! First because he is an advocate for animals and second because I always end up thinking about stuff that I won’t usually do after I listen to him😂
Ricky is clearly not religious but he also espouses a lot of spiritual concepts, and speaks of a soul. I think Ricky, like many of us, is searching for answers, though I do find his understanding on many topics to be clouded by what he accepts too easily from popular science.

Man I really love that guy. If I could carry a mini one of him around in my pocket, it would be great. He would HATE me because I sniff all the time. Lol.
Love this guy, and love that he'll be on Netflix, I will watch it for sure. Totally agree that being less intelligent, by human standards, doesn't make animals less important than us. They are better than us, in a way, because they love more and don't let the gray matter interfere with that.
Thank you, Stephen. for pointing out that artificial intelligence isn't really artificial, bc it's not just an abstraction, but a real-world phenomena that just so happened to exist through manipulation of the environment by some aglomerate of biological cells. money and social concepts tho? those are artificial. but also the concept of species, life or anything that we as humans define axiomatically. everything is a spectrum, it's humans who can only see black and white bc of our limited brains. AIs intelligence, I must add, is as real as ours, same thing with counciousness. the detail is, AIs can fake conciousness long before they actually "develop" it. which they do by evolving into an extremely complex yet highly organized flow of information, a flow that's limited to a neural network which isn't physically the same as conciousness, but only its framework/medium in which it flows in the natural universe, being the neural network a single static state of where conciousness emerges, not it itself emerging. static states are also an illusion of the human mind, a single frame does not represent the whole picture unless the subject of the model/representation is literally at absolute zero. but even borderline zero energy states such as Bose Einstein condensates still move and *are* themselves the flow of energy, information, entropy, or whatever you wanna call the supernatural fundamental unit of what constitutes counciousness, which as a spectrum happens at minimal levels in too simplistic systems, but in sufficiently complex and organized systems, there happens the emergence of phenomena such as self counciousness(and even "enlightened" states that are in the same spectrum of most of what we call "psychosis", not all, but most of it.).) counciousness is a process, not an inherent characteristic of matter, we don't "have" a counciousness, we are it. we are it happening within/through a biological body, but it could just as easily happen on constructed neural network too, the laws of physics is the same and this even negates the whole DMT in the pineal gland hypothesis, at least as it being essential to counciousness (and I take Ayahuasca ritualistically every other week on a new-wave pseudoscience-enabling Church (as an atheist btw)) and bc I already have elongated my speech this much, I'll add that spirituality isn't intrinsic to religiousness and that atheists can feel a spiritual experience by looking at the night sky, seeing the rings of Saturn for the first time with your own eyes, seeing shooting stars, imagining the Hubble deep space field as the background beyond the stars.. At least for me, spirituality is a state of being, a vibe, a feeling, specifically of awestruckness, fascination and admiration upon something bigger than you: The universe from outside our tiny subjetive interpretations of it, in all its glory, vastness and beauty, and oh! how beautiful it is!
Call it Spinoza's god if you want to limit my interpretation, I won't mind, I just honestly and sincerely believe we actually have enough evidence to justify our belief in the universe itself as "god" and even maybe justify some kind of "cosmic mind" which encompasses All other minds and information between them in all levels and even runaway information, just the sum of all information in the universe, which would be itself a definition of an objective perspective of the universe. (it would break locality and surpass the speed of light for a single "thought" to happen tho, requiring both time and space to be mind constructs, but spacetime to be a real mathematical and physical phenomena, just without any fabric to be bent)
And he'd be right... A polar bear is scary as shit, but not if you live in Kenya. A 'gator is terrifying, but not if you live in Siberia... But Humans? -- They can get to you ANYWHERE!
Yes, an extremely small fraction of humans called the upper class. Why would for instance the children that die of an illness or accident or murdered before age 10 be part of the "scariest animal" group you mention? or people that are killed while investigating like Kashoggi and others? You shouldn't blanket statement like controlled media. Specify who tf you are talking about or "humans" means all humans.

AI actually IS taking over, just not terminator style. How much of your online life is determined by an algorithm? How many customer service phone calls do you make with a machine? Did you know that in 2019 they discovered bots were making significantly more trades on the stock market than humans? Did you know that due to more versatile bots, a large chunk of jobs will disappear in the next year or so? When self-driving cars become mainstream, how long until truck drivers, taxi drivers, construction drivers and warehouse workers see their jobs disappear?

I resonate with Ricky on a lot of things, especially his kindness to animals..and what he describes here of nature being a super enough, is something taught in Sikhism as well. There is no need for the supernatural, this planet and the universe is enough of a miracle.
Amen!
I love this guy! First because he is an advocate for animals and second because I always end up thinking about stuff that I won’t usually do after I listen to him😂
Ricky is clearly not religious but he also espouses a lot of spiritual concepts, and speaks of a soul. I think Ricky, like many of us, is searching for answers, though I do find his understanding on many topics to be clouded by what he accepts too easily from popular science.
'I'd love for any intelligence to take over.' 😁 Amen! Even though I don't pray 'n stuff, but tell me better word. 😅
@Neil Deep Hm, that's a good one. How about another one though? 😀
@Neil Deep Hmh, how about something less cussy? 😅
@@Leftyotism Right on!
@@hkrug666 I like that one, thank you very much! 😁
He’s one of few that can’t get canceled. Joe Rogan, Dave Chapelle, Eminem and Ricky Gervais
The shoebill is my platypus. 💜
I LOVE RICKY ! :)
Put the whole god damn interview in one god damn video.
STOP SPLITTING THESE INTERVIEWS UP INTO MULTIPLE VIDEOS!
Or at least mention which part is which, so you can watch chronologically.
@@suzawilo I wish it were one too, but they always put the next one as a link just before it ends.
@@AsFewFalseThingsAsPossible But sometimes the algorithm suggests the second or third video before the the first and it's just aggravating having to search for the first. Especially when it's not clear all the time which one is which. Jimmy Kimmel's show seems to have figured this very simple concept out.
🧡
Ricky is like me.
A true fundamentalist atheist.
You're probably an atheist because of dumb tik tok
Nope, he is just mad atheist. A true atheists I met are actually guys that dont give a shit. You know why? Cause they don't care about it. He isnot even telling the truth what he believes . It's like talking about godzilla every day. Dude, chill out, why you care about something that isn't real? See, cause he does believe.
Darwin's words were if you can't find the inter humans fossills that prove that evolution, then I'm wrong. Today, we can find fossills from like millions year ago, and it still yet to be find.
Anyway, life is short. Billions year have passed. Just wait 60-70 years to find the truth.
Man I really love that guy. If I could carry a mini one of him around in my pocket, it would be great.
He would HATE me because I sniff all the time. Lol.
Ricky always destroys Sephen's holier than though pretenciousness and I love it
Stephen seems to want to go Battlestar Galactica against future AIs 😏
Intelligent life on this planet is yet to be discovered.
resonating with my funny bone
God, I love talking about the fact God most likely doesn't exist!
i am an atheist but if i would have to believe in something it would be mother nature, it's simply amazing!
Learn from Jimmy Kimmel yall...just compile every clip into one video...
Simple 👍🏼
So whenever someone dies from eating a poisoned custard , we know just who the murderer is .
🤣
Fair play to call out Ricky with being a bigot in that moment. I’m a total atheist but yeah, the judgement eyes where out
Love this guy, and love that he'll be on Netflix, I will watch it for sure. Totally agree that being less intelligent, by human standards, doesn't make animals less important than us. They are better than us, in a way, because they love more and don't let the gray matter interfere with that.
Think that over while you take in his anti-LGBT jokes in that new special Netflix paid him 40 mil for.
Gah that response was so perfect," I would like any intelligence to take over"
Thank you, Stephen.
for pointing out that artificial intelligence isn't really artificial, bc it's not just an abstraction, but a real-world phenomena that just so happened to exist through manipulation of the environment by some aglomerate of biological cells.
money and social concepts tho? those are artificial.
but also the concept of species, life or anything that we as humans define axiomatically.
everything is a spectrum, it's humans who can only see black and white bc of our limited brains.
AIs intelligence, I must add, is as real as ours, same thing with counciousness.
the detail is, AIs can fake conciousness long before they actually "develop" it. which they do by evolving into an extremely complex yet highly organized flow of information, a flow that's limited to a neural network which isn't physically the same as conciousness, but only its framework/medium in which it flows in the natural universe, being the neural network a single static state of where conciousness emerges, not it itself emerging.
static states are also an illusion of the human mind, a single frame does not represent the whole picture unless the subject of the model/representation is literally at absolute zero. but even borderline zero energy states such as Bose Einstein condensates still move and *are* themselves the flow of energy, information, entropy, or whatever you wanna call the supernatural fundamental unit of what constitutes counciousness, which as a spectrum happens at minimal levels in too simplistic systems, but in sufficiently complex and organized systems, there happens the emergence of phenomena such as self counciousness(and even "enlightened" states that are in the same spectrum of most of what we call "psychosis", not all, but most of it.).)
counciousness is a process, not an inherent characteristic of matter, we don't "have" a counciousness, we are it.
we are it happening within/through a biological body, but it could just as easily happen on constructed neural network too, the laws of physics is the same and this even negates the whole DMT in the pineal gland hypothesis, at least as it being essential to counciousness (and I take Ayahuasca ritualistically every other week on a new-wave pseudoscience-enabling Church (as an atheist btw))
and bc I already have elongated my speech this much, I'll add that spirituality isn't intrinsic to religiousness and that atheists can feel a spiritual experience by looking at the night sky, seeing the rings of Saturn for the first time with your own eyes, seeing shooting stars, imagining the Hubble deep space field as the background beyond the stars..
At least for me, spirituality is a state of being, a vibe, a feeling, specifically of awestruckness, fascination and admiration upon something bigger than you: The universe from outside our tiny subjetive interpretations of it, in all its glory, vastness and beauty, and oh! how beautiful it is!
Call it Spinoza's god if you want to limit my interpretation, I won't mind, I just honestly and sincerely believe we actually have enough evidence to justify our belief in the universe itself as "god" and even maybe justify some kind of "cosmic mind" which encompasses All other minds and information between them in all levels and even runaway information, just the sum of all information in the universe, which would be itself a definition of an objective perspective of the universe.
(it would break locality and surpass the speed of light for a single "thought" to happen tho, requiring both time and space to be mind constructs, but spacetime to be a real mathematical and physical phenomena, just without any fabric to be bent)
IF Sir Attenborough passes on the baton, I'd like to hear about platypus, wombats and pitcher plants from Ricky!
When Ricky said "[AI] solve problems", I was sure he was going to follow that up with 'we're a problem'...
I would imagine if Ricky were being asked the Colbert Questiinare, his answer to "What's the scariest animal?", his answer would be "Human."
And he's right, we are.
And he'd be right... A polar bear is scary as shit, but not if you live in Kenya. A 'gator is terrifying, but not if you live in Siberia... But Humans? -- They can get to you ANYWHERE!
Yes, an extremely small fraction of humans called the upper class. Why would for instance the children that die of an illness or accident or murdered before age 10 be part of the "scariest animal" group you mention? or people that are killed while investigating like Kashoggi and others? You shouldn't blanket statement like controlled media. Specify who tf you are talking about or "humans" means all humans.
@@brigittespuck What's scary about you then?
@@robertcartier5088 Middle class people know higher amounts of money is chosen for them in doing the easier jobs while smaller amounts of money is chosen to give to the working class that do all the hardest/most unwanted jobs in society. Being middle class and not bringing up this inequality for years and years of on air opportunity time makes those middle class people part of the scariest humans group.
AI actually IS taking over, just not terminator style.
How much of your online life is determined by an algorithm?
How many customer service phone calls do you make with a machine?
Did you know that in 2019 they discovered bots were making significantly more trades on the stock market than humans?
Did you know that due to more versatile bots, a large chunk of jobs will disappear in the next year or so? When self-driving cars become mainstream, how long until truck drivers, taxi drivers, construction drivers and warehouse workers see their jobs disappear?
None of what you mentioned is an AI.
Why are these endings out of order? Can we see the original interview, so we can see why Ricky is laughing?
Yeah, all one long video would be better. Invariably, the damn clips show up in my feed in the wrong order!
