    Interesting, but the premise of regulation falls apart when you understand that the government model is the most corrupt system of all. Historically, some of the worst uses of technology have been commanded by governments. Or think of large-scale projects that could benefit humanity, such as geothermal energy, space elevators, and engineered smart cities, which have not even been proposed by the government, the sole institution that collects society's taxes. Isn't inaction in the face of harm or damage malevolent? Oh, but then give these people more power! Yup, that will totally work out well, nothing wrong with that, let's all just keep drinking the FDA approved oils, let's keep trusting the IRS to tax the rich, the Feds from not printing more debt, sure let's have them regulate AI too!

    This is unwatchable. The presenter should be asking short, sharp questions. He is doing the exact opposite. He likes the sound of his own voice, and thinks he is as much an AI expert as Connor. Nobody is intersted in what he has to say. Stopped watching after 15 minutes

    Debating the Existential Risk of AI with Connor Leahy: Key Takeaways The KZread video "Debating the Existential Risk of AI, with Connor Leahy" features a fascinating discussion between Connor Leahy, founder of Conjecture, and Aar, host of the Exponential View podcast. They explore the potential risks of advanced AI, particularly Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), and discuss possible solutions to mitigate those risks. Here are some key takeaways: The Core Concerns: Existential Risk: Leahy argues that AGI, if developed too quickly, could pose an existential risk to humanity due to its potential to surpass human intelligence and control. He compares this risk to nuclear weapons and synthetic biology. Lack of Democratic Consent: Leahy questions the ethical legitimacy of developing such powerful technology without global consensus and democratic processes. Time Compression: Leahy and Aar acknowledge the accelerating pace of technological advancement and the potential for AI development to outpace humanity's capacity to adapt and regulate. Possible Solutions: Co-evolution: Both agree that, as with past technologies, we can co-evolve safeguards and regulations alongside AI development. Compute Caps: Leahy proposes government-imposed limits on the computational resources used to train powerful AI models, arguing that this would buy us time to develop safer alternatives. Liability Frameworks: Leahy emphasizes the need for strict liability laws for AI developers, holding them responsible for potential harms caused by their creations, even if they did not intend those harms. Global Kill Switch: Leahy advocates for a protocol allowing a significant number of nations to jointly shut down public-facing AI systems in emergencies. Citizens' Assemblies: Aar suggests the use of citizens' assemblies, deliberative forums engaging diverse perspectives, to better understand societal values and guide AI development. Points of Disagreement: Pace of Development: Leahy expresses greater concern about the rapid pace of AI development, believing that it is likely to outpace our ability to control it. Aar is more optimistic about the potential for co-evolution and adaptation. Feasibility of Solutions: Leahy is more optimistic about the feasibility of political solutions like compute caps and kill switches, while Aar is more skeptical due to the complexity of the technology and the difficulty of achieving global consensus. Key Concepts: Time-Space Compression: The accelerating pace of technological change and globalization, leading to a sense of compressed time and shrinking distances. Black Box Technologies: Technologies so dangerous that their potential consequences are unknown and potentially catastrophic. Swiss Cheese Model of Safety: Multiple layers of overlapping safeguards to mitigate the potential for failure. Lump of Labor Fallacy: The misconception that there is a fixed amount of work available, ignoring the potential for market expansion and new job creation. Overall, the conversation highlights the complexity of AI safety and the need for a nuanced approach that considers both technological and societal factors. Both Leahy and Aar acknowledge the potential risks of advanced AI, but they differ in their assessments of the timeline and the feasibility of various solutions. The conversation provides valuable insights for those interested in the future of AI and its impact on humanity.

    To be clear: I am very impressed by Connor's intelligence and I enjoy listening to him because I am also a fan of his delivery and style. I also sport the same hair style as he does. What I don't share is his mustache, and the reason is that in France that kind of mustache would immediately be understood as a symbol and marker of his solidarity with French farmers whose indentifier he is sporting on his upper lip. That is the reason everyone in the Asterix village has that kind of mustache: It's a joke, Asterix & Co. are the French version of the stereotype of hillbillies.

    Once again, a really great conversation. Super informed questions, and you were able to bring your other experiences to bear with respect to the political and social aspects. I really like that you avoided a confrontational attitude upfront. Connor has tended towards heated discussions in the past (he's gotten better at it), and I think the tone you set actually allowed him to make more nuanced points, even with your push back. Would definitely like to see you have more conversations like this with Connor and others.

    The Aliens appearing above us are already here on the planet. There is NO country without military and intelligence agencies. There are the Fortune-500 big companies and there are a lot of billionaires. ANY of those all will not care a sh..t in limiting their advantages by rules. What do you think you pr ANY council will be able to force them ? If there were a council that could cover the whole planet, the AGI would be driven in the underground. However, the point of no return has passed in 2021. We opened the pandora's bob and there is no way to close it ever again. We just can sit back and watch what happens. We may bet, how fast it happens. In 2021 AGI doubled once a year, in 2024 it doubles in 3 month and in 2026 it will double each week. Hard to say guys, but it is what it is and homo sapiens-sapiens is unable to fight it, because this technology comes completely hidden and in millions of Trojan horses, because technologiy is everywhere today. It does not com recognozable by aircraft carriers, military jets, tanks or drones. When those technical devices come in contact with AI, -they have already turned against the human race.

    It was a great conversation, but a bit out of touch in some areas: - I think it overestimates the literacy of large portions of the population (employee or customer) in understanding a chatbot is not reliable and trustworthy. - For organizations with limited in house capability, a quarter of a million is really lean. It is not the models or tokens in a vacuum, it is everything else.
