I don’t get why the question about the mountain with the heads was thought to be so difficult. I got St Paul in two minutes using Google maps and Google search….the only intelligence required was to realise that the subject was ‘currently in’ South Dakota because no information had been given about any further travels after he arrived at Mount Rushmore…an AI would take that for granted because that was all the info it had, whereas a human might get stuck thinking “well it doesn’t say where he currently is”.
@@tsb3093 I'm sorry. I assumed that you possessed the capacity to infer from my reply that an Italian audience may not be as geographically familiar with the American Midwest as a person from say, Arizona or even Manitoba. You seem to have not understood that a comparison was being illustrated. That comparison was between AI and an audience in Italy. Even if instructed by the presenter, I doubt many in that audience would immediately open their laptops and/or smartphones and do a Google search during a presentation. Capisci?
@@thejdgoodwin I do and I did but he wasn’t comparing the LLM’s performance against a non USA based audiences knowledge. He was just presenting it as a smart answer full stop. He even said that he himself didn’t know the answer although he lives in the USA. The location of the point he made was unrelated to the location of the presentation. I just don’t think that it was a terribly difficult question to demonstrate the intelligence of AI.
I don't think optimism is warranted given the genetically determined primitive drives and resulting stupid, cruel and self-defeating behaviors which humanity has demonstrated that it is unable to transcend except in too limited numbers and too limited degrees to produce a good result for us.
AI will eat our jobs faster than we can invent new ones, all sectors of society will be affected-just look at how few motor car workers there are left today lin the industry because of the introduction of robots. There will be few things left for us to do that can not be done quicker and more accurately by an AI-powered system so how will our society cope with so much unprecedented human obsolescence?
I hate to say it but, Max's demeanor and his ability to speak clearly and fluently don't match up with lectures I have heard him give in the past. His ideas and freedom to articulate his ideas openly seem to be being stressed by his association with entities like Google. Is that why he seems to be hesitating while he decides whether his words will satisfy his masters? - or is it just that time is taking its toll on his speaking skills???????? I recall much better from him.
The host asked a question at the end of the lecture about the Microsoft "friend in your pocket". He mentioned, and seems to have no problem accepting, without question, that the conversations with it included racist and insulting comments - I would really like to know who decided what a "racist comment" was considering who/what is judging what acceptable language and "misinformation" is these days. I get the feeling that this host is a super liberal. Max's responses about Europe being such a democratic group (and so much better at it than the "Americans") doesn't seem to take into account that it has a terrible track record for being governed by dictators and ROYALTY - not to mention socialists, Marxists, communists and the like. How many times has the US pulled their arses out of the fire? I think he needs to check the filters on his lenses. They (Europe) want to steer the world in the "right direction"? They don't even know how to read a compass! I'm definitely not comfortable with them deciding what is the "right direction" or their ability to manage it even if they can come up with it. We have never had an individual, group, society, cult, religion, government, or nation that has been able to perform that miracle. If we can't control it should we build it? Of course not, but we will because we can and like Max said "because there is so much money and power in it". The two most important factors to the human race. We will do it with the usual disregard for the consequences - just like we have done with everything else of importance. Humans just don't yet (if ever) have the common sense, judgement, humility, moral compass, self control, empathy, or just about any of the qualities it takes to develop something this powerful without using it improperly. Take a look at how poorly we have introduced the internet and social media to society - and we want to let this enormously powerful technology loose on the world? Take a look at the scumbags who are running the world now and tell me they are capable of developing this technology without screwing it up.
Fantastic Video Max!!! Yes it needs to be be formed democratically.

I'm not sure, but I think this talk took place in Italy.
@@thejdgoodwinthanks but not really relevant to the question.

How will we know if Ai is ever conscious ?
How do you truly know that anyone other than yourself is conscious? If you can answer that, then you can answer your own question regarding AI.
I don't think optimism is warranted given the genetically determined primitive drives and resulting stupid, cruel and self-defeating behaviors which humanity has demonstrated that it is unable to transcend except in too limited numbers and too limited degrees to produce a good result for us.
You are way too pessimist, have you seen us eliminating ourselves with nuclear weapons ? :)
