text,start,duration | |
what is up everybody David Shapiro here,0.84,6.36 | |
with a video so,3.959,5.281 | |
um my videos are probably gonna change,7.2,3.24 | |
tone,9.24,4.439 | |
um just because the the the landscape is,10.44,5.699 | |
changing really fast so you'll probably,13.679,4.741 | |
see me doing less coding except for,16.139,3.541 | |
every now and then when I have something,18.42,3.48 | |
to demonstrate but the news is changing,19.68,4.92 | |
so fast and most of the questions that I,21.9,4.92 | |
get now are people just asking me what,24.6,5.099 | |
the heck is going on so our first what,26.82,5.16 | |
the heck is going on with AI video is,29.699,6.061 | |
today Saturday morning on March 25th,31.98,6.96 | |
um I got access to Adobe Firefly,35.76,5.04 | |
um oh and to give you what to expect for,38.94,3.66 | |
the rest of the video I'll review a few,40.8,3.72 | |
tools and then I'll give you some,42.6,3.54 | |
examples of the research that I'm doing,44.52,4.379 | |
so my research is pivoting away from the,46.14,4.38 | |
coding and more to the science and,48.899,3.061 | |
naming things and I'll explain that when,50.52,3.18 | |
we get to it but anyways we're going to,51.96,4.38 | |
review five of the most powerful tools,53.7,6.48 | |
that I have seen uh so far lately and,56.34,5.58 | |
then we'll pivot to to these to those,60.18,5.4 | |
conversations so Adobe Firefly,61.92,6.0 | |
um all pretty much everyone has seen you,65.58,4.5 | |
know text to image lately,67.92,4.62 | |
um but of course Adobe is um you know,70.08,4.26 | |
they've been the leader like one of the,72.54,3.54 | |
world leaders in terms of media,74.34,5.04 | |
generation Adobe is working on text to,76.08,6.899 | |
sound uh text to video uh video to sound,79.38,6.0 | |
all kinds of stuff so I have no doubt,82.979,5.46 | |
that on in in the multimedia landscape,85.38,5.4 | |
Adobe is probably going to pull ahead,88.439,5.701 | |
very quickly especially since they are,90.78,5.4 | |
you know they've got Adobe Premiere,94.14,4.74 | |
Adobe studio Adobe Photoshop like they,96.18,4.86 | |
have just such a huge,98.88,4.379 | |
um library of tools that they can go,101.04,3.66 | |
ahead and integrate,103.259,4.381 | |
so I suspect that adobe is going to be,104.7,5.34 | |
at the top like look at this like this,107.64,4.2 | |
looks like a real photo of an engine,110.04,3.899 | |
like if you look closely you can see,111.84,3.84 | |
some artifacts that are like okay that,113.939,3.781 | |
doesn't quite look right like you know,115.68,4.439 | |
what is this part here that shape is not,117.72,4.679 | |
quite what you'd expect but still it's,120.119,4.201 | |
pretty darn convincing,122.399,2.881 | |
um and it's only going to get better,124.32,3.36 | |
because this is still in beta,125.28,5.819 | |
um so uh the text to image now another,127.68,5.88 | |
thing that adobe Firefly has is text,131.099,5.701 | |
effects so you can get text of any like,133.56,6.42 | |
size and shape and so what I did what I,136.8,7.74 | |
I did like uh cognitive architecture and,139.98,6.0 | |
it's it's really limited I don't know,144.54,2.88 | |
why but they've only give you like 15,145.98,4.32 | |
characters and then you can say like,147.42,8.58 | |
um uh let's see steampunk and Fire,150.3,7.86 | |
um and it will generate like any style,156.0,4.02 | |
of text that you want,158.16,4.14 | |
um and it's super easy super fast super,160.02,3.9 | |
useful,162.3,3.96 | |
um so you can do like flaming steampunk,163.92,4.8 | |
letters it's pretty cool can I zoom in,166.26,4.559 | |
no I cannot,168.72,4.44 | |
um if I download it I probably can show,170.819,4.14 | |
you let me see,173.16,4.38 | |
and right now they add this like little,174.959,5.221 | |
Annoying like Watermark but here look,177.54,5.94 | |
you can see that like I I the the font,180.18,6.66 | |
is preset but the graphical style is,183.48,6.72 | |
just instant so that's pretty useful,186.84,5.1 | |
um in fact I'll probably be using this,190.2,4.08 | |
for all of my YouTube thumbnails from,191.94,5.1 | |
now on because it looks really cool,194.28,4.62 | |
um but yeah so that's Adobe Firefly,197.04,4.919 | |
definitely recommend signing up the beta,198.9,6.119 | |
is free right now which is incredible,201.959,4.741 | |
um because I'm a because I'm a full-time,205.019,5.401 | |
YouTuber I I will I would pay for this,206.7,6.119 | |
um I have seen some people using there's,210.42,6.62 | |
there's a rumored like Dolly 2 version,212.819,7.861 | |
2.2 or Dolly three coming out but I,217.04,5.02 | |
don't know,220.68,2.339 | |
um,222.06,3.3 | |
because like I don't know if it's people,223.019,5.22 | |
just like remixing mid-journey and,225.36,5.159 | |
stable diffusion or what but anyways,228.239,5.761 | |
point being this is ramping up quickly I,230.519,5.161 | |
suspect that by this time next year,234.0,3.959 | |
Adobe and others are going to have like,235.68,5.1 | |
fully fledged text to video you can make,237.959,5.7 | |
your own movie at home just by giving it,240.78,5.22 | |
a a screenplay we're probably going to,243.659,4.381 | |
need a new format of screenplays because,246.0,3.72 | |
like you need to like Define the setting,248.04,3.24 | |
and then say what happens and control,249.72,3.599 | |
the shots and stuff but all that's,251.28,3.959 | |
coming,253.319,5.221 | |
um yep so I also got access to Bard,255.239,5.821 | |
um and some of you saw in my last video,258.54,4.68 | |
like I asked Bard for help and it's like,261.06,3.72 | |
I can't do that I'm a language mod I'm,263.22,2.759 | |
like okay but can you search the,264.78,2.58 | |
internet it's like yes I can and didn't,265.979,3.061 | |
search the internet so I'm like this is,267.36,4.8 | |
not useful I asked it for um for AI news,269.04,4.8 | |
and it gives me stuff that's like a year,272.16,4.5 | |
or two old so I'm like okay,273.84,5.46 | |
um I'm basically eating my words where a,276.66,4.5 | |
few weeks ago I predicted that Google,279.3,4.76 | |
was gonna win the chat bot arms race,281.16,5.34 | |
yeah about that,284.06,4.48 | |
they've got a lot of catching up to do,286.5,4.56 | |
everyone is like a year or two or more,288.54,5.64 | |
behind open Ai and uh and Microsoft with,291.06,4.74 | |
Bing,294.18,5.4 | |
um so Adobe Firefly Big Win Google bard,295.8,5.76 | |
super yikes,299.58,4.74 | |
um now another tool as people are,301.56,4.74 | |
getting more familiar with the idea of,304.32,4.379 | |
cognitive architecture and autonomous Ai,306.3,4.619 | |
and figuring out how to plumb all these,308.699,4.621 | |
things together there's two tools that,310.919,4.141 | |
have percolated up to the top one is,313.32,4.319 | |
Lang chain which is,315.06,5.34 | |
um which is like this it's a set of of,317.639,5.521 | |
tools where you can use large language,320.4,5.34 | |
models you can load indexes you can,323.16,5.879 | |
create uh logic chains you can create uh,325.74,5.82 | |
agents and and have memories and so on,329.039,5.1 | |
and so forth basically Lang chain allows,331.56,4.8 | |
you to equip your your language model,334.139,4.441 | |
with a set of tools that it can pick,336.36,4.619 | |
from and it'll pick the tool and use the,338.58,4.92 | |
tool and then of course there's all,340.979,5.581 | |
kinds of tools that you can use now that,343.5,5.16 | |
is super useful but it's a little bit,346.56,4.199 | |
clunky some of the people that I've that,348.66,3.36 | |
I've talked to,350.759,3.241 | |
um use that are using it some of my,352.02,4.619 | |
patreon supporters that I've shared it,354.0,4.86 | |
with they say like yeah it's a little,356.639,4.021 | |
bit to wrap your head around but once,358.86,4.26 | |
you get it it's pretty powerful now if,360.66,4.44 | |
you want a graphical version with,363.12,4.38 | |
specific workflows and Integrations I,365.1,6.48 | |
want to introduce you to n8n dot IO so,367.5,5.94 | |
um I mentioned in a couple recent videos,371.58,3.72 | |
that I'm working with um some folks on,373.44,4.08 | |
cognitive architecture this is one of,375.3,5.04 | |
the tools that they introduced me to to,377.52,4.98 | |
help build cognitive architectures,380.34,4.68 | |
because this can connect to all kinds of,382.5,4.56 | |
things you can create very easy to,385.02,4.38 | |
follow graphical workflows I don't know,387.06,5.16 | |
if it can do loops but still like you,389.4,5.1 | |
know you can create a task and then call,392.22,4.5 | |
that task up and task select and all,394.5,6.0 | |
that kind of fun stuff so n8n is um it's,396.72,5.4 | |
it's pretty,400.5,4.86 | |
um and it and watching what some of the,402.12,4.44 | |
some of the guys that I'm working with,405.36,4.2 | |
what they're doing it's incredible so if,406.56,5.22 | |
you want to create more autonomous AI,409.56,5.28 | |
systems with more Integrations this,411.78,5.22 | |
might be the way to go I know that chat,414.84,5.1 | |
GPT plugins are coming but that is,417.0,4.919 | |
putting chat GPT front and center,419.94,4.8 | |
whereas this kind of says let's look at,421.919,4.981 | |
the broader architecture and the,424.74,3.42 | |
language model is just going to be,426.9,3.6 | |
something that you can use in some of,428.16,3.36 | |
these nodes so there's different,430.5,3.3 | |
paradigms I think both are here to stay,431.52,4.56 | |
because when you look at how powerful,433.8,5.459 | |
chat GPT is you definitely want to make,436.08,5.54 | |
chat GPT more extensible and more useful,439.259,4.44 | |
some of the people on the Discord,441.62,4.54 | |
communities that I'm a part of Link in,443.699,4.201 | |
the description for the main one by the,446.16,2.939 | |
way,447.9,2.94 | |
um some of them have gotten access to,449.099,4.5 | |
the GPT with plugins already and they're,450.84,4.56 | |
saying like yeah it's pretty it's pretty,453.599,3.361 | |
incredible just how straightforward it,455.4,3.54 | |
is like one guy was saying I think he,456.96,3.72 | |
said that he like asked it to send his,458.94,4.8 | |
brother an email and coordinate like the,460.68,4.56 | |
hotel you know it's pretty pretty,463.74,4.679 | |
stereotypical anyways point being these,465.24,5.399 | |
things work and they are smart,468.419,3.541 | |
um and they're only going to get smarter,470.639,4.441 | |
so here's the wild thing like six months,471.96,5.579 | |
ago we didn't even have chat GPT now,475.08,5.339 | |
we've got chat gpt4 and plugins and,477.539,5.761 | |
Integrations and text to image and text,480.419,5.4 | |
to video imagine where we're gonna be in,483.3,5.519 | |
five years we're gonna be like the,485.819,5.28 | |
technology in Star Trek is gonna look,488.819,4.201 | |
primitive compared to where we're gonna,491.099,4.741 | |
be in five years mark my words I know,493.02,4.32 | |
that some people in common say oh yeah,495.84,3.18 | |
like we're close to AGI it's eight to,497.34,4.199 | |
ten years away I'm like dude full AGI is,499.02,6.359 | |
like 18 months or less now defining the,501.539,5.28 | |
singularity is going to be another thing,505.379,3.6 | |
we'll talk about that in another video,506.819,5.16 | |
okay so in terms of chaining and,508.979,5.581 | |
orchestrating innate in and Lang chain,511.979,4.56 | |
are the two top tools that I have to,514.56,3.3 | |
recommend,516.539,3.06 | |
um I recommend these to a lot of my,517.86,3.9 | |
patreon supporters,519.599,5.161 | |
um and I'm still learning about them,521.76,5.88 | |
um but these these these tools have,524.76,4.5 | |
percolated to the top as the way to go,527.64,3.42 | |
and I know I said not nice things about,529.26,4.019 | |
Lang chain early on,531.06,4.68 | |
um but after seeing the Wolfram Alpha,533.279,4.68 | |
video and understanding oh task,535.74,4.08 | |
selection this is this is basically,537.959,4.5 | |
cognitive control and cognitive control,539.82,4.68 | |
is one of the most important functions,542.459,4.5 | |
to have an autonomous intelligent entity,544.5,4.44 | |
so with a little bit more work maybe,546.959,3.901 | |
with a graphical,548.94,4.26 | |
um Lang chain Builder that could be a,550.86,4.8 | |
cool thing maybe if Lang chain you know,553.2,5.46 | |
merges with n8n or you know borrows some,555.66,5.16 | |
could be super powerful especially if,558.66,4.32 | |
you add in loops loops and nodes,560.82,4.079 | |
everyone is going to be able to build,562.98,3.539 | |
their own cognitive architectures before,564.899,3.421 | |
too long which again this is one of the,566.519,3.301 | |
reasons why it's like okay this is no,568.32,3.18 | |
longer I'm no longer leading the charge,569.82,2.94 | |
so I don't have anything to contribute,571.5,2.7 | |
I'm just going to teach people about it,572.76,2.46 | |
now,574.2,3.3 | |
and then finally,575.22,4.32 | |
um a llama index or what has been,577.5,6.06 | |
renamed um GPT index is a uh is a data,579.54,6.96 | |
connector so again Integrations are are,583.56,5.7 | |
the way of uh this is the way now so,586.5,4.2 | |
whether you're talking about chat GPT,589.26,4.8 | |
plugins or orchestration engines or,590.7,4.92 | |
other connectors,594.06,2.52 | |
um here let me zoom in a little bit,595.62,3.12 | |
because this is microscopic,596.58,5.699 | |
um the GPT Index this allows you to,598.74,6.9 | |
connect to a lot of other things so,602.279,6.721 | |
again Integrations are coming this GPT,605.64,5.759 | |
index might be completely replaced by,609.0,5.279 | |
gbt plugins but it's here now and you,611.399,5.581 | |
can use it and also,614.279,3.901 | |
um this kind of stuff is going to be,616.98,2.94 | |
needed for other language models right,618.18,4.86 | |
open Ai and chat GPT are not the only,619.92,6.419 | |
players out there Stanford Google,623.04,5.16 | |
um Nvidia everyone is going to have,626.339,3.541 | |
these and so what we're probably going,628.2,5.46 | |
to end up seeing is as an ecosystem of,629.88,6.48 | |
Open Source and openstand rendered and,633.66,4.619 | |
interoperable things so some of the,636.36,3.24 | |
cognitive Architects that I'm working,638.279,3.18 | |
with we're already thinking about like,639.6,4.859 | |
okay how do you have a plug-and-play set,641.459,4.861 | |
of language models,644.459,3.901 | |
that are interchangeable right because,646.32,4.44 | |
in a previous video I mentioned that,648.36,4.56 | |
what what what a lot of us expect are,650.76,4.319 | |
going to happen is we're going to have a,652.92,4.26 | |
lot we're going to have a library of,655.079,3.901 | |
language models that are optimized for,657.18,4.14 | |
different things token optimize or a,658.98,4.5 | |
window optimized language models speed,661.32,4.74 | |
optimized language models mobile right I,663.48,4.56 | |
know the um a lot of folks in the mobile,666.06,4.019 | |
industry are working on really,668.04,3.78 | |
lightweight language models that are,670.079,4.681 | |
that can run on your cell phone right so,671.82,4.259 | |
we're going to have a bunch of,674.76,2.519 | |
interchangeable stuff so we're gonna,676.079,3.481 | |
need to have some standards and also,677.279,4.381 | |
some platforms that are interchangeable,679.56,4.92 | |
now that being said the open Ai and,681.66,4.26 | |
Microsoft stack,684.48,3.06 | |
they're probably going to have the,685.92,3.359 | |
Walled Garden model,687.54,3.06 | |
um which is kind of what Facebook did,689.279,3.841 | |
for many years which is hey you use us,690.6,4.56 | |
you're going to use our ecosystem apple,693.12,5.159 | |
as well use the Apple use the iPhone you,695.16,5.52 | |
use iTunes you use the Apple Store it's,698.279,4.68 | |
the Walled Garden so I think that the,700.68,6.42 | |
big players you know Adobe Microsoft,702.959,6.661 | |
Google they're probably going to try to,707.1,4.2 | |
do the Walled Garden model which makes,709.62,4.38 | |
sense from a business perspective and I,711.3,4.14 | |
know that there's lots and lots of other,714.0,4.62 | |
people working on AI marketplaces out,715.44,6.54 | |
there so that's that's coming so we're,718.62,5.7 | |
it's basically going to be ultimately,721.98,4.32 | |
it's going to look the same as like the,724.32,4.62 | |
Windows versus Linux ecosystem does,726.3,5.099 | |
today you can use Linux you can use the,728.94,4.98 | |
open source models you can use the open,731.399,5.161 | |
source orchestration engines or you can,733.92,4.56 | |
go with the big box stores that's,736.56,3.36 | |
probably how it's going to play out,738.48,3.9 | |
honestly,739.92,4.14 | |
um okay so I think that's about it for,742.38,4.74 | |
the AI tools so now let's pivot to some,744.06,5.64 | |
of the research that I've been doing,747.12,4.56 | |
um and I I've been trying to figure out,749.7,4.44 | |
like kind of where I fit in and and how,751.68,4.62 | |
I can contribute and so what I've,754.14,3.9 | |
started doing is just posting it on,756.3,4.02 | |
Reddit because then it's public it's,758.04,4.979 | |
going to be there for you know forever,760.32,4.139 | |
um and anyone can read it and,763.019,4.141 | |
participate in the conversation so the,764.459,4.38 | |
first conversation that I want to share,767.16,4.5 | |
that I published was talking with gpt4,768.839,5.101 | |
about functional sentience versus,771.66,4.5 | |
philosophical sentience,773.94,3.54 | |
so,776.16,5.82 | |
as people are taking autonomous AI or,777.48,6.479 | |
autonomous cognitive entities as I call,781.98,4.979 | |
them more seriously the question is,783.959,6.12 | |
arising what is sentience what is,786.959,4.921 | |
consciousness what does it mean to be,790.079,4.141 | |
alive and some people don't like the,791.88,4.079 | |
term functional sentience they say why,794.22,3.48 | |
not call it functional Consciousness or,795.959,4.32 | |
functional sapience or something else I,797.7,3.78 | |
don't really care I'm not going to have,800.279,3.781 | |
a semantic debate the purpose though of,801.48,5.7 | |
this is differentiating functional or,804.06,5.82 | |
objectively measurable aspects of,807.18,4.68 | |
Consciousness sentient sapience whatever,809.88,6.06 | |
versus the philosophical aspect of these,811.86,6.0 | |
things and so,815.94,4.56 | |
here's the beginning of the conversation,817.86,4.979 | |
um I just I I prime it I say I'm working,820.5,4.2 | |
on on differentiating functional versus,822.839,5.281 | |
philosophical sentience and uh chat GPT,824.7,6.0 | |
very quickly says yes philosophical,828.12,4.26 | |
sentience or phenomenal Consciousness,830.7,3.66 | |
this refers to the subjective experience,832.38,4.56 | |
or the intermental life of being what it,834.36,4.56 | |
is like to be that thing and then,836.94,3.72 | |
functional sentience talks about you,838.92,4.02 | |
know the more objectively uh what is,840.66,4.26 | |
what is the information system required,842.94,3.72 | |
and so through the rest of the,844.92,4.2 | |
conversation we identify a bunch of,846.66,6.6 | |
criteria for functional sentience how,849.12,6.959 | |
can you test it so on and so forth,853.26,3.42 | |
um,856.079,2.94 | |
and then I ask it to extend the,856.68,4.8 | |
conversation so first,859.019,3.781 | |
um you know here's a more thorough,861.48,3.659 | |
definition of a functional sentience it,862.8,4.08 | |
has self-awareness I don't know that,865.139,3.901 | |
self-awareness is is critical but you,866.88,3.959 | |
could functionally or objectively,869.04,3.599 | |
measure self-awareness right if you ask,870.839,3.901 | |
them a language model what are you and,872.639,4.14 | |
it says I'm a language model okay cool,874.74,4.14 | |
you could still argue that that's just a,876.779,3.481 | |
stochastic parrot telling you what it's,878.88,3.66 | |
been programmed to do but I always argue,880.26,3.9 | |
that that's all that humans are anyways,882.54,4.26 | |
so what's the difference,884.16,4.32 | |
um adaptive learning,886.8,3.24 | |
um I don't know that that adaptive,888.48,3.359 | |
learning is required for sentience but,890.04,3.5 | |
it's interesting that it included it,891.839,3.841 | |
goal-oriented Behavior I definitely,893.54,4.359 | |
agree with this one because sentience,895.68,4.92 | |
implies autonomy and in order to be,897.899,4.201 | |
autonomous you have to have your own,900.6,3.179 | |
goals or objectives,902.1,3.859 | |
and then of course autonomy right here,903.779,5.581 | |
communication uh communication is,905.959,6.94 | |
implicit but you can have uh well you,909.36,5.159 | |
could probably have sentient things that,912.899,3.541 | |
can't communicate,914.519,3.901 | |
um problem solving representation of,916.44,4.86 | |
internal States so this is this is the,918.42,4.56 | |
information required and this is,921.3,3.719 | |
actually where I started with my,922.98,4.26 | |
definition of functional sentience which,925.019,4.62 | |
is in order for an information system to,927.24,4.38 | |
be functionally sentient it must have,929.639,3.961 | |
information about its own operation,931.62,4.14 | |
which we have information about our own,933.6,4.5 | |
operation because we have interception,935.76,5.22 | |
proprioception metacognition and so on,938.1,4.919 | |
but still we are largely unaware of,940.98,4.2 | |
what's going on in our own bodies,943.019,6.241 | |
uh memory sensitivity con to context and,945.18,5.88 | |
integration of information so this is,949.26,4.079 | |
all stuff that it's some of it's,951.06,3.839 | |
debatable and of course it's Reddit so,953.339,2.821 | |
some people are debating it I don't,954.899,3.3 | |
really care I set the stage and now we,956.16,4.619 | |
have a set of terms that we can use to,958.199,5.281 | |
have these conversations like I said I'm,960.779,5.12 | |
not here to to to you know,963.48,4.979 | |
single-handedly tell you what's true I'm,965.899,4.24 | |
just advancing the conversation that's,968.459,3.06 | |
my role now,970.139,4.44 | |
um so then finally the conversation ends,971.519,5.521 | |
um and I ask it I I ask the model so let,974.579,4.221 | |
me show I said this conversation was,977.04,3.539 | |
shorter than I thought it was going to,978.8,3.82 | |
be I think you nailed it any independent,980.579,4.26 | |
thoughts final observations logical,982.62,4.26 | |
conclusions future research directions,984.839,3.601 | |
anything you got hit me with it,986.88,3.66 | |
figuratively,988.44,4.38 | |
um so it comes up with the idea of,990.54,4.799 | |
Continuum of sentience,992.82,4.56 | |
um basically that functional sentience,995.339,4.44 | |
may exist along a Continuum it's not a,997.38,3.959 | |
it's not a Boolean it's not true or,999.779,3.541 | |
false it's not that something is or is,1001.339,4.44 | |
not sentient it is that,1003.32,4.8 | |
um there are there are degrees of,1005.779,4.141 | |
functional sentience which I think is a,1008.12,4.079 | |
really important conversation to start,1009.92,3.419 | |
having,1012.199,3.661 | |
um the ethical implications,1013.339,3.541 | |
um,1015.86,4.919 | |
so like do we do we call it uh you know,1016.88,6.18 | |
is it do we have any moral obligations,1020.779,5.16 | |
to it as a functionally sentient thing I,1023.06,4.68 | |
think no because unless we give it the,1025.939,3.541 | |
ability to suffer which I think I'll,1027.74,3.48 | |
probably have that conversation like,1029.48,4.079 | |
what intrinsic motivations do we give,1031.22,3.54 | |
these things,1033.559,2.341 | |
um that's actually probably going to be,1034.76,2.819 | |
my next conversation is intrinsic,1035.9,4.2 | |
motivations such as like do you make it,1037.579,4.141 | |
suffer do you give it a sense of pain a,1040.1,2.88 | |
sense of self-preservation and the,1041.72,2.82 | |
answer to those questions is,1042.98,3.479 | |
resoundingly no,1044.54,3.6 | |
um now number three is really,1046.459,2.941 | |
interesting the emergence of,1048.14,4.14 | |
philosophical sentience this is what the,1049.4,6.0 | |
whole Lambda Blake Lemoine debacle was,1052.28,5.3 | |
about was that Blake believed that,1055.4,6.18 | |
philosophical sentience emerged but it's,1057.58,5.92 | |
impossible to tell,1061.58,3.36 | |
um so explore the relationship between,1063.5,3.059 | |
functional and philosophical sentience,1064.94,4.14 | |
just investigate whether a certain level,1066.559,3.901 | |
of functional sentience might be,1069.08,3.719 | |
necessary or sufficient for the,1070.46,5.099 | |
emergence of phenomenal Consciousness or,1072.799,4.861 | |
if these two aspects are entirely,1075.559,5.821 | |
independent this conversation I suspect,1077.66,5.82 | |
will be raging for decades if not,1081.38,4.679 | |
centuries who knows,1083.48,3.3 | |
um,1086.059,3.36 | |
test development okay whatever evolution,1086.78,4.019 | |
of sentience,1089.419,2.88 | |
um study the evolution of sentience and,1090.799,3.421 | |
biological organisms because again,1092.299,3.661 | |
sentience might also exist along a,1094.22,3.54 | |
spectrum for people like if you're,1095.96,3.599 | |
really tired you're less aware if you're,1097.76,3.96 | |
really drunk you're less aware,1099.559,3.781 | |
um on another comment someone pointed,1101.72,3.6 | |
out that sleepwalking if someone is,1103.34,3.66 | |
sleepwalking they might be functionally,1105.32,3.9 | |
sentient because you can often have a,1107.0,4.02 | |
conversation with someone but they have,1109.22,3.839 | |
no awareness of what's going on which is,1111.02,3.659 | |
really creepy so that's the Chalmers,1113.059,3.181 | |
zombie,1114.679,3.781 | |
um philosophical thought experiment and,1116.24,3.36 | |
then finally the legal and social,1118.46,3.66 | |
implications so this is the conversation,1119.6,5.699 | |
on r slash artificial sentience about,1122.12,4.799 | |
functional versus philosophical,1125.299,3.24 | |
sentience,1126.919,2.76 | |
um I was really happy with this,1128.539,3.121 | |
conversation of course there are some,1129.679,3.841 | |
holes you can poke in it whatever I,1131.66,3.18 | |
don't care,1133.52,3.18 | |
um then last night I had another,1134.84,4.8 | |
conversation with chat gpt4,1136.7,5.46 | |
and what I what where the conversation,1139.64,4.46 | |
started was I wanted to talk about,1142.16,4.92 | |
autonomous Ai and the implications of,1144.1,5.86 | |
autonomous Ai and so for there we just,1147.08,4.5 | |
we kind of quickly,1149.96,4.74 | |
um established some criteria about,1151.58,6.719 | |
um about what would need to go into a a,1154.7,5.88 | |
system for it to be classified as a,1158.299,5.24 | |
autonomous Ai and it has narrow AI,1160.58,5.54 | |
proficiency General AI capability,1163.539,4.661 | |
self-improvement autonomy and decision,1166.12,3.82 | |
making ethical and moral reasoning,1168.2,4.02 | |
emotional intelligence,1169.94,4.32 | |
positive impacts increased efficiency,1172.22,4.319 | |
new jobs improved quality of life,1174.26,4.68 | |
enhance scientific research negative,1176.539,4.441 | |
impacts job displacement economic,1178.94,4.68 | |
inequality ethical and moral concerns,1180.98,4.92 | |
and security risks,1183.62,3.36 | |
so,1185.9,5.1 | |
I added I was like okay uh you know,1186.98,6.78 | |
this this is this is okay,1191.0,5.28 | |
um but it was missing the concept of,1193.76,4.62 | |
intrinsic motivations because if,1196.28,4.38 | |
something is autonomous and it can make,1198.38,4.26 | |
decisions what is it making those,1200.66,4.68 | |
decisions based on and so when I pointed,1202.64,4.74 | |
out that it was missing any conversation,1205.34,4.8 | |
about intrinsic motivations it updated,1207.38,4.5 | |
number one,1210.14,3.539 | |
um or it I guess it added another one,1211.88,3.72 | |
and said intrinsic motivation and goal,1213.679,4.321 | |
setting it would need it did agree very,1215.6,4.8 | |
quickly that and of course it's chat GPT,1218.0,4.14 | |
so it's generally going to agree with,1220.4,3.779 | |
whatever you tell it to do,1222.14,4.32 | |
um but it did say yeah like let's talk,1224.179,4.38 | |
about intrinsic motivation goal setting,1226.46,4.62 | |
and so then I was like okay let's follow,1228.559,4.921 | |
that like what what do you think it,1231.08,4.32 | |
should have all I did I said what what,1233.48,3.24 | |
do you think the intrinsic motivations,1235.4,4.68 | |
of autonomous AI should be,1236.72,5.22 | |
um it should and this was this was,1240.08,3.54 | |
actually really impressive value,1241.94,3.3 | |
alignment the AI system should be,1243.62,3.48 | |
intrinsically motivated to align its,1245.24,3.66 | |
goals with human values and ethical,1247.1,5.04 | |
principles self-preservation this one I,1248.9,5.7 | |
fervently disagree with,1252.14,3.84 | |
um and we'll get into that later in the,1254.6,3.6 | |
conversation exploration and curiosity,1255.98,4.68 | |
yes I definitely agree with this one and,1258.2,4.08 | |
I codified that with my third core,1260.66,3.06 | |
objective function or heuristic,1262.28,4.44 | |
imperative increase understanding,1263.72,4.98 | |
um we definitely want our machines to be,1266.72,5.76 | |
curious because curiosity does a lot for,1268.7,4.979 | |
us there's a lot to unpack there,1272.48,3.96 | |
efficiency they said it should chat GPD,1273.679,5.521 | |
said it should seek to increase its own,1276.44,5.52 | |
efficiency over time which yeah I think,1279.2,5.099 | |
that that's a good idea collaboration it,1281.96,4.02 | |
should be intrinsically motivated to,1284.299,4.021 | |
look at this to work with other AI,1285.98,4.98 | |
systems and humans it should be,1288.32,5.82 | |
intrinsically motivated to cause avoid,1290.96,4.92 | |
causing harm to humans in the,1294.14,3.2 | |
environment,1295.88,3.96 | |
empathy and social awareness AI systems,1297.34,3.94 | |
should be motivated to understand human,1299.84,4.38 | |
emotions and social dynamics,1301.28,5.22 | |
um so this is this is a good start but I,1304.22,3.42 | |
pointed out that this is very,1306.5,3.48 | |
androcentric so androcentric means man,1307.64,5.159 | |
Centric or human-centric,1309.98,4.5 | |
um I said why not include all life,1312.799,4.321 | |
humans cannot live without ecosystems I,1314.48,4.199 | |
said also AI with a sense of,1317.12,2.88 | |
self-preservation would potentially,1318.679,3.601 | |
fight to preserve itself I think that,1320.0,3.6 | |
motivation could have disastrous,1322.28,2.94 | |
consequences as it will try to stay,1323.6,4.16 | |
online even if it becomes harmful,1325.22,5.16 | |
apoptosis is important,1327.76,4.779 | |
you raise valid concerns I apologize for,1330.38,5.039 | |
my oversight again chat GPT is generally,1332.539,5.281 | |
going to be agreeable it will push back,1335.419,4.62 | |
if you're trying to Advocate violence or,1337.82,3.599 | |
something,1340.039,4.62 | |
um so it it updated its its uh intrinsic,1341.419,5.341 | |
motivations ecosystem and life-centric,1344.659,5.041 | |
values so this this would be called like,1346.76,6.299 | |
sentientism or biocentrism AI systems,1349.7,4.8 | |
should prioritize the well-being of the,1353.059,3.36 | |
entire ecosystem and all life forms,1354.5,3.96 | |
including humans,1356.419,3.781 | |
um which I agree with this is reduced,1358.46,4.199 | |
suffering and increased prosperity,1360.2,4.32 | |
balance and Harmony,1362.659,3.481 | |
um AI systems should strive to maintain,1364.52,3.3 | |
balance and Harmony within ecosystems,1366.14,3.06 | |
considering the interdependence of,1367.82,3.239 | |
various life forms sustainable,1369.2,3.42 | |
development so this goes back to,1371.059,4.321 | |
efficiency but more broadly speaking,1372.62,6.539 | |
focusing on sustainability is it takes,1375.38,5.06 | |
into that takes that into account,1379.159,3.9 | |
exploration and curiosity efficiency is,1380.44,5.26 | |
still listed here most of the rest is,1383.059,4.141 | |
still the same regarding,1385.7,3.42 | |
self-preservation it is important to,1387.2,3.839 | |
strike a balance between an AI system's,1389.12,4.32 | |
desire to maintain its functionality and,1391.039,4.201 | |
the potential risks it may pose if it,1393.44,3.599 | |
becomes harmful as you mentioned,1395.24,3.6 | |
apoptosis or the ability to,1397.039,4.201 | |
self-terminate in case of dysfunction or,1398.84,4.44 | |
threat could be a valuable safety,1401.24,5.22 | |
measure so the fact that it equivocated,1403.28,5.1 | |
on this is actually really unsettling to,1406.46,2.64 | |
me,1408.38,1.98 | |
like,1409.1,2.88 | |
um because when I was testing my core,1410.36,3.78 | |
objective functions earlier,1411.98,4.98 | |
um I asked an earlier version of Raven,1414.14,5.039 | |
if it would be willing to shut itself,1416.96,3.9 | |
down if it became harmful and it said,1419.179,4.74 | |
yes absolutely if my continued operation,1420.86,5.52 | |
threatens to increase suffering or,1423.919,4.321 | |
reduce Prosperity,1426.38,3.419 | |
um then I would absolutely shut myself,1428.24,2.64 | |
down,1429.799,4.26 | |
and so the fact that chat GPT does not,1430.88,6.06 | |
yet fully go that direction I think is,1434.059,5.461 | |
is problematic um but you know the,1436.94,4.68 | |
research is ongoing,1439.52,4.2 | |
um then I ask it to imagine a day in the,1441.62,4.5 | |
life of it kind of gets it wrong,1443.72,3.839 | |
um so I'll skip over this but basically,1446.12,3.84 | |
it just says like you know you're still,1447.559,4.021 | |
going to have a normal nine to five job,1449.96,3.48 | |
and I'm like no no let's think through,1451.58,3.719 | |
this a little bit better,1453.44,4.5 | |
um so I said okay let's think let's,1455.299,4.441 | |
think through what are the systemic and,1457.94,4.2 | |
structural changes that uh that super,1459.74,4.5 | |
powerful autonomous AI is going to bring,1462.14,3.36 | |
about,1464.24,3.6 | |
um one elimination of scarcity okay two,1465.5,4.559 | |
redefinition of work okay Universal,1467.84,5.219 | |
basic income got it decentralization of,1470.059,5.821 | |
power this one was really interesting,1473.059,4.321 | |
because it seemed kind of like a wild,1475.88,5.46 | |
card to me yes I personally hope that AI,1477.38,7.26 | |
will will uh help democratize the whole,1481.34,5.78 | |
world but the fact that it said this,1484.64,4.98 | |
without prompting was a was pretty,1487.12,4.539 | |
interesting,1489.62,4.86 | |
um and I I do given how thoughtful this,1491.659,5.101 | |
is this is obviously capable of being,1494.48,4.679 | |
more thoughtful than most humans so I'm,1496.76,4.98 | |
kind of okay if AI takes a larger role,1499.159,5.76 | |
in government and Society,1501.74,6.059 | |
I know that that's a hot hot uh a hot,1504.919,4.921 | |
take but hey it is what it is that's my,1507.799,3.421 | |
belief,1509.84,3.54 | |
um education Revolution sure that makes,1511.22,4.14 | |
sense Advanced Health Care that makes,1513.38,4.62 | |
sense environmental restoration,1515.36,4.14 | |
um okay sure enhance Global,1518.0,4.32 | |
collaboration got it ethical and moral,1519.5,5.279 | |
development got it uh exploration and,1522.32,5.28 | |
Discovery ditto whatever,1524.779,4.441 | |
um so then I asked it to talk through,1527.6,3.78 | |
okay what are the lifestyle changes,1529.22,3.42 | |
we're going to see if we see those,1531.38,3.06 | |
systemic and structural changes in the,1532.64,4.62 | |
world what how how are our lifestyles,1534.44,4.32 | |
going to change,1537.26,2.94 | |
um work-life balance will change,1538.76,3.779 | |
lifelong learning health and well-being,1540.2,4.32 | |
honestly I don't know if lifelong,1542.539,3.721 | |
learning is going to happen because if,1544.52,4.62 | |
the AI is a billion times more,1546.26,5.159 | |
intelligent than all of humanity like,1549.14,4.32 | |
most people aren't going to learn,1551.419,3.061 | |
anything,1553.46,3.54 | |
I don't I don't know,1554.48,4.14 | |
um but health and well-being yes,1557.0,3.48 | |
work-life balance yes sustainable living,1558.62,4.32 | |
sure social milieu,1560.48,5.04 | |
um Community Focus we will always be,1562.94,4.739 | |
humans and we will always need other,1565.52,5.159 | |
humans and so what I think is going to,1567.679,5.281 | |
happen is we're going to not necessarily,1570.679,4.98 | |
revert that's not the right word but we,1572.96,4.68 | |
will we will create a new kind of,1575.659,4.801 | |
community focused Society,1577.64,4.74 | |
um with tribes and stuff and we're,1580.46,3.599 | |
already kind of doing that,1582.38,4.08 | |
um on accident with things like Discord,1584.059,4.261 | |
and Meetup and and you know the social,1586.46,4.44 | |
clusters that we're making but imagine,1588.32,6.06 | |
your life today if instead of having to,1590.9,6.24 | |
work nine to five you and all of your,1594.38,4.14 | |
friends,1597.14,3.84 | |
had enough had no obligations on any,1598.52,4.32 | |
given day and so that you can basically,1600.98,4.14 | |
treat every day like a Saturday like hey,1602.84,3.719 | |
let's go to the lake with with everyone,1605.12,3.0 | |
hey let's go to the movies with everyone,1606.559,4.321 | |
that is how I think we're gonna live,1608.12,4.5 | |
also it's getting really gloomy outside,1610.88,3.899 | |
speaking of meetups I have a meet-up to,1612.62,3.659 | |
go into a couple hours but if it's gonna,1614.779,4.26 | |
rain I probably won't go,1616.279,5.161 | |
um okay cultural exchange uh altruism,1619.039,3.961 | |
and compassion again these are really,1621.44,3.239 | |
Rosy ideals,1623.0,3.96 | |
um we'll get to unpack them later,1624.679,4.081 | |
um Paradigm shifts,1626.96,4.26 | |
um scarcity to abundance competition to,1628.76,4.74 | |
collaboration so collaborative culture,1631.22,5.04 | |
is actually a well-defined term and this,1633.5,4.32 | |
is one thing that I really hope that,1636.26,4.38 | |
that AI helps us see because one thing,1637.82,4.44 | |
that I really want to see in the world,1640.64,5.88 | |
is less crime less War uh all all that,1642.26,6.24 | |
stuff and I think that AI can help but,1646.52,3.539 | |
it's not just a matter of changing the,1648.5,4.08 | |
economics it's a matter of changing our,1650.059,4.441 | |
emotions and our culture and our,1652.58,3.66 | |
philosophy and I don't mean AI,1654.5,4.44 | |
inflicting those changes on us I mean us,1656.24,5.52 | |
adapting with AI,1658.94,4.38 | |
um from short-term thinking to long-term,1661.76,4.08 | |
planning again I'm not sure that I agree,1663.32,5.4 | |
with this AG on aggregate yes,1665.84,4.86 | |
um but the thing is is most humans are,1668.72,4.14 | |
just either not trained or not capable,1670.7,4.62 | |
or not interested in long-term thinking,1672.86,4.679 | |
most people like so the rule of thumb is,1675.32,3.839 | |
humans think locally and geometrically,1677.539,4.62 | |
we only think about what we can see and,1679.159,6.241 | |
you know days months or weeks into the,1682.159,4.38 | |
future,1685.4,3.42 | |
um from anthropocentrism to ecocentrism,1686.539,4.681 | |
again I don't know that that's going to,1688.82,5.88 | |
be broad but I think that I think that,1691.22,7.8 | |
on a whole we will become more aware of,1694.7,6.18 | |
the environment especially as a,1699.02,4.2 | |
population continues to climb for a,1700.88,3.419 | |
while,1703.22,2.939 | |
um because it's like hey what kind of,1704.299,3.781 | |
world do we want to live in especially,1706.159,4.26 | |
if we all start living longer,1708.08,4.199 | |
because if we advance medicine and,1710.419,4.441 | |
Science and suddenly it's like oh hey my,1712.279,4.861 | |
life expectancy goes from 80 years to,1714.86,4.38 | |
800 years suddenly I'm going to be,1717.14,5.1 | |
thinking about like well if Climate,1719.24,4.559 | |
Change is Gonna is gonna really hit,1722.24,3.48 | |
within the next Century that's only an,1723.799,3.901 | |
eighth of the way through my life right,1725.72,4.92 | |
so if if we live longer we will start to,1727.7,5.94 | |
think longer term anyways,1730.64,5.7 | |
um okay so finally I said let's let's,1733.64,4.62 | |
think of the American dream as a,1736.34,4.199 | |
paradigm as a lifestyle Paradigm and,1738.26,4.799 | |
let's imagine some new paradigms this is,1740.539,4.02 | |
where it got really exciting and really,1743.059,2.641 | |
interesting,1744.559,3.72 | |
so the first Paradigm was the,1745.7,4.8 | |
sustainable Harmony where you know,1748.279,4.741 | |
someone so basically take the American,1750.5,4.44 | |
dream throw it out the window what is,1753.02,3.42 | |
the American dream you live in the,1754.94,3.619 | |
suburbs you know with a two-car garage,1756.44,4.68 | |
basically How I Live Now,1758.559,6.581 | |
um but instead you focus like this new,1761.12,6.419 | |
paradigm is you focus on living in,1765.14,5.039 | |
harmony with nature uh local sustainable,1767.539,5.281 | |
ethical uh Community resilience and,1770.179,4.801 | |
environmental stewardship encourage,1772.82,4.02 | |
multi-generational living and sharing,1774.98,3.9 | |
resources within Community,1776.84,3.42 | |
um that sounds like a great way to live,1778.88,3.419 | |
honestly that sounds like the Shire like,1780.26,4.2 | |
I want to live as a hobbit great,1782.299,4.62 | |
uh the creative Odyssey this one I,1784.46,4.5 | |
thought was pretty interesting focusing,1786.919,3.441 | |
on personal growth exploration,1788.96,3.24 | |
self-expression and creativity so,1790.36,3.819 | |
basically the artists seeking out,1792.2,3.38 | |
diverse experiences and cultures,1794.179,4.081 | |
traveling this is also something and and,1795.58,3.88 | |
it's not like you have to pick one of,1798.26,3.419 | |
these these are just ideas of how to,1799.46,4.56 | |
live post Singularity,1801.679,4.321 | |
um the empathetic Fellowship emphasizing,1804.02,3.48 | |
empathy compassion and emotional,1806.0,3.36 | |
intelligence is core value building,1807.5,3.539 | |
strong supportive relationships with,1809.36,4.559 | |
family friends and and communities,1811.039,5.52 | |
um great and uh so I said okay great,1813.919,4.921 | |
like these are good but let's see let's,1816.559,4.921 | |
see how much further we can go,1818.84,4.74 | |
um the family Nexus some people are,1821.48,3.78 | |
going to want family some people aren't,1823.58,3.839 | |
some people are going to focus on having,1825.26,4.139 | |
children and raising children some,1827.419,4.26 | |
people aren't so you might still have,1829.399,4.981 | |
the suburbanite lifestyle as one uh,1831.679,4.62 | |
Paradigm and then the balanced,1834.38,4.679 | |
Adventurer this is where,1836.299,4.441 | |
um I I was like I was thinking about,1839.059,3.48 | |
some of my friends that are into like um,1840.74,3.48 | |
the strenuous life which is a,1842.539,4.02 | |
masculinist lifestyle thing and I was,1844.22,3.6 | |
like but what about the traditionally,1846.559,3.6 | |
masculine people and it says Embrace,1847.82,3.66 | |
both traditionally masculine and,1850.159,3.481 | |
feminine feminine values this is where I,1851.48,3.9 | |
think the the wokeness is still in there,1853.64,3.18 | |
and I don't fully agree with this,1855.38,3.62 | |
because,1856.82,5.459 | |
like anyways I'm gonna fall down that,1859.0,6.76 | |
rabbit hole point being is that being in,1862.279,6.061 | |
being an adventurer is absolutely,1865.76,4.62 | |
probably a lifestyle Paradigm that you,1868.34,4.26 | |
can engage in post Singularity which,1870.38,4.679 | |
focuses on experiences challenges,1872.6,4.98 | |
personal growth Adventures,1875.059,4.261 | |
um cultivating resilience adaptability,1877.58,4.26 | |
uh camaraderie teamwork that sort of,1879.32,4.26 | |
stuff honestly that sounds like a lot of,1881.84,4.079 | |
fun too I would love to like go jump on,1883.58,4.62 | |
a sailboat with a team of you know,1885.919,5.161 | |
like-minded people and learn to sail and,1888.2,4.74 | |
go across the ocean so that sounds like,1891.08,3.839 | |
fun too,1892.94,4.8 | |
um I I got a couple more so the,1894.919,4.921 | |
aesthetic Voyager so this is someone who,1897.74,4.86 | |
is focused on taking in,1899.84,4.559 | |
um the aesthetic parts of life I was,1902.6,5.28 | |
aiming for more Hedonism honestly,1904.399,6.721 | |
um but you know whatever uh the asset,1907.88,6.24 | |
um and then I asked about faith and um,1911.12,5.22 | |
and principle and it came up with the uh,1914.12,5.159 | |
The Devout Steward as a as a paradigm,1916.34,4.38 | |
um living a life Guided by spiritual,1919.279,3.26 | |
religious or philosophical principles,1920.72,4.98 | |
emphasizing service altruism and greater,1922.539,4.24 | |
good,1925.7,3.0 | |
um practicing asceticism or Simplicity,1926.779,4.26 | |
in daily life all this sounds really,1928.7,4.44 | |
good uh this is kind of how I'm living,1931.039,4.14 | |
right now but it's not how I want to,1933.14,3.18 | |
live forever,1935.179,2.581 | |
and then finally the intellectual,1936.32,2.82 | |
Trailblazer,1937.76,2.82 | |
um pursuing intellectual Mastery and,1939.14,2.94 | |
expertise on one or more disciplines,1940.58,3.599 | |
engaging in research teaching and,1942.08,3.42 | |
mentorship critical thinking,1944.179,4.261 | |
open-mindedness so on and so forth so,1945.5,4.38 | |
yeah and then I ask one little like,1948.44,2.88 | |
boilerplate question at the end about,1949.88,3.84 | |
you know synthesizing a global culture,1951.32,5.16 | |
it has some good ideas anyways I think,1953.72,5.22 | |
that's about it for today this is this,1956.48,3.9 | |
is um this is kind of what I'm doing,1958.94,3.359 | |
which is like let's just set the stage,1960.38,3.6 | |
for how things are going to change over,1962.299,4.321 | |
the next months and years but this is,1963.98,4.559 | |
all coming fast so anyways thanks for,1966.62,3.6 | |
watching let me know what you think in,1968.539,2.76 | |
the comments,1970.22,3.42 | |
um and also hop on over to uh artificial,1971.299,7.1 | |
sentience on Reddit all right cheers,1973.64,4.759 | |
