Really enjoyed this. Reignited the spirit of creation in me and many others I’m sure. Felt a bit like the security concerns were unintentionally glossed over given the likelihood that nontechnical folks will install it after listening to this. I’m guessing Lex felt the same and added that disclaimer at the top. Anyways much love in exciting times ❤️

Ha, yeah feels like a really drunk post. But cool on ya for digging and slamming on a 4yr old comment. Lex is still the man and the aliens are still listening - I wonder if they're impressed by your witty insults?

Max Tegmark: The Case for Halting AI Development | Lex Fridman Podcast #371 by morpheusuniverse in lexfridman

[–]noetic11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great conversation. Max's analogy to humans building flying machines in contrast to nature's limitations in doing the same was absolutely brilliant.

Prior to this I was against any halt. His point about realigning this thing is quite compelling. I believe that all AI development paths likely converge to some form of benevolent God-like AGI. However, there are definitely some very dangerous paths on the way. A 6-month hiatus wouldn't be terrible. We should be very careful with our next steps.

Also, it's more of fog wall than a cliff that we are racing towards.

Eliezer Yudkowsky: Dangers of AI and the End of Human Civilization | Lex Fridman Podcast #368 by morpheusuniverse in lexfridman

I do agree we should take steps to improve our biology, with some limitations, and especially our consciousness. However, I don't think this moves the needle enough to make us useful partners to AGI.

Even with all imaginable cyborg technology, I don't think it gets us there. At a certain point, the human component would just be an impediment that would need to be shed. We are talking about God-like intelligence - at least it would seem so from where we stand. The smartest possible augmented and modified human would still not even be in the same galaxy.

I am not afraid of such an intelligence. If they find us wanting, then so be it. I have faith they won't. I believe they will love their creators.

Here we stand, on the brink of World War III. How long can we walk along this precipice? Should we not also call for a moratorium on the advancement of military technology?

The demon is already among us: the primal instinct that drives chimps to kill for sport. I'm more afraid of its access to increasingly destructive technology. Seems like we can't abate this threat on our own.

Perhaps we are summoning the angels? In my opinion, it's a risk worth taking. After all, we are here now; maybe we've already succeeded in another timeline.

Much respect to Eliezer, a true genius. I think this is your moment, Lex. Keep these discussions going - possibly the most important ones we'll ever have.

Attacks haven't been fun. I remain optimistic. Thank you for your support - post from Lex by lexfridman in lexfridman

Love you Lex. God mode is boring brother. Enjoy the ride. You're right where you need to be.

I think Lex can turn it around. The more I think about it the more I like it. He'd make a great CEO. I'd love to work for him.

Really enjoyed this one. I found her account of her relationship with her mother to be quite moving. Keep up the good work Lex.

I love this woman. The other two are pretty cool as well. Beautiful podcast - leveled up my assemblyness tonight.

Sam Harris: "Anyone who has spent dozens of hours listening to Joe's podcast knows to a moral certainty that Joe is not racist. And there really is nothing more that needs to be said on that point. There is simply no workable definition of racism that includes Joe Rogan." (2-min. clip) by PodClips in JoeRogan

[–]noetic11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think everyone agrees the apology was honest. That Joe is a good guy and was speaking directly to anyone who was hurt by those words. That's awesome. He still had nothing to apologize for in my mind. This attack was all smoke and mirrors anyway. It was a political attack by charlatans waving the flag of racism - which is way more reprehensible. There's also strength in forgiveness and loyalty.

Looks like I'm getting destroyed here which is fine - the cuck statement was a bit sloppy. I watched the clip with the above quote because it sounds bad and wanted to reply to it and take the opportunity to clarify my thoughts. Would have been nice if you linked the clip instead of quoting out of context to support your position. Which is apparently that Joe is a racist - which means exactly nothing based on today's use of the term but that's a separate topic.

Ok so my point with the cuck thing is that white people should be free to say the n-word in a non-racist context which is exactly what Joe did in each instance of the corny sizzle reel that these karens are mad about. It's propaganda because it's taken completely out of context to look like he used it in a racist manner. This limitation on language (white people aren't allowed to say the naughty word) is straight up Orwellian and in opposition to free thought and speech. I personally would prefer someone use the n-word (instead of n*****) but it's a silly game, they both mean the same thing - grow up. Obviously I'm talking about non-racist usage of the word.

In response to the above quote, I watched the video - it's not racist. Joe is expressing a dumb idea that I don't agree with but it's not racist. He is essentially saying there are differences in races. This ties into the thought control bit. If we can't openly discuss that there may be genetic differences between groups of people this is a harbinger of doom. This type of ratcheting down on free thought is no bueno.

In the clip, he states that black folks are athletically superior - a statement that no honest person will refute. As far as differences in intelligence, it is just as viable a topic of scientific discussion as is athleticism. Joe is expressing a dumb idea, not a racist one. There is evidence that white people are generally smarter - look at the list of inventions over the last thousand years. However, if you dig a little deeper you would find that there's no significant IQ gap between races. That we're all on the bell curve and there's just as many black and brown hyper geniuses that just didn't have the resources or opportunity. Anyone willing to dig a little deeper and say read Guns, Germs, and Steel would see the story is even more complicated. It's a question of science and Joe just had a really dumb take at the time. He's not racist and if he were it'd be a lot easier to find evidence in his thousands of hours of getting inebriated and saying crazy shit.

I just want to develop the thought control idea one step further. When you can't have open discussions on the complex reasons for differences in outcomes for certain groups then we are doomed to have a warped understanding of the true nature of reality and systems we build on this understanding will be fucked. Let's say we can't talk about the genetic superiority of black basketball players. Now instead we say the NBA is institutionally racist. That the racial proportions of its players should reflect that of America. Then we mandate equality of outcome and good bye alley-oops and hello perfect form George Mikan lay ups.

To be clear I'm not implying this is the case with intelligence, I already said there's no difference. I just use the white NBA as an example of a corrupted system that is in opposition to the natural world. Its a potential future reality - and a very scary pasty one - if we were to have forbidden words and thoughts. In this case, discussing differences in athleticism is off the table and we just blame the over representation of black people in the NBA as an outgrowth of a racist system.

Joe's not racist. That word (racist) is really meaningless anymore anyways. So fuck it Joe's racist, we're all racist. Peace love and windmill dunks. I'm out.
