Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@TomBilyeu says : WARNING: I will never ask for your contact info in the comments section, that is someone impersonating me!>> <<@logistE8 says : the host is sort of a bit far behind nick's level of game content in each dissection layers being thought and discussed here, which left nick being a little distracted as the result>> <<@stefanolacchin4963 says : On a merry note, we disconnected from Neanderthal by removing them all from the planet.>> <<@becingu says : There are countless people for whom status holds no importance.>> <<@mmadison2-y5y says : We should engage in sports and procreation, games, dancing, parties!>> <<@AK-ne4og says : In the segment starting at 19:31 Nick seems to be unveiling a zombi world. Hell, NO! It will be like a drug, people living like those we see on phentanyl. The rich will anesthesize the masses with those bots but they themselves will not do it. Result: most people won't reproduce and in a short time they will have the world with only 500million people max as they have already spelled before. If Ai is not severely curbed to only facilitate menial tasks (as modern computers and software do) we will be almost wiped out. Think twice before getting seduced by the promise of this overdeveloped AI>> <<@Ritterkritterz says : Info/thoughts in this show were fantastic! Great questions Tom!!! Too bad I had to listen to 100 youtube commercials. Never again. Meal prepping several meals with chicken on my fingers trying to touch the screen to skip 100 commercials. Did I say never again?>> <<@bbend8667 says : Nick Bostrom and his ideas are terrifying. A frictionless life is one of despair and soullessness.>> <<@damonm3 says : The OG green screen..>> <<@kuakilyissombroguwi says : You didn't predict this, Tom. Hugo de Garis did in 2005. Go read his book "The Artilect War".>> <<@countryboy9389 says : Weirdest thing is all the Bigfoot vblogs>> <<@scottrussell2281 says : Losing your feeling of purpose is nothing when compared with knowing you will never again have the means to acquire the physical things you want in life (houses, cars, boats, vacations, etc.). If you still have the money to buy the things you bought in pre-AI times, given the fact that 85% of people worldwide wide don't like their work, but rather it's nothing more than a necessary evil to have the money they need to pay their bills, what is it that has you so convinced that people are going to be killing themselves because they don't have purpose?? In my view, if 85% of the population had money without needing to work for it, that's utopia.>> <<@120dbdavid says : Taxation is theft. Ignore that fact at your own peril.>> <<@RuralJuror420 says : Don’t listen to what people say, watch what they do. These billionaires have overseen a huge amount of economic productivity and growth, and how much of that wealth and prosperity have been shared with the world so far? Not much.>> <<@rickmolchan3421 says : I wonder if the future evolves to a new set of human principles that move beyond an ego-centric materialistic view of the world to find meaning and purpose. Could a more spiritual humanity actually lead to a higher and more meaningful existence. I hope so. Really not looking forward to a world like Wally.>> <<@daddad8707 says : If we create a simulation with AI persons in it, it would be immoral to ever switch it off.>> <<@daddad8707 says : I always think of Minecraft. A great sandbox game to play, very enjoyable & purposeful until you reach the point where you can survive easily, have built what you want to, etc ... then it's boring, boring, boring. So you start downloading mods which give you more challenges but eventually make everything in the game so easy to get or do that it's all pointless.>> <<@branddavis938 says : Tom...evolution is a lie. Satan has been trying to mess with the genome for a long time. The next step is to make us get the mark of the beast or interface permanently with Satan to upgrade and also to buy and sell but God and Christ cannot help us any longer if we do this so don't. It's another deception Satan simply wants your soul. Why? A body for his Nephilim forever in hell>> <<@whdndrn says : What should not technical person in 40s 50s should do when losing job.>> <<@whdndrn says : Economic growth to the rich less for poor. This guy is out of touch.>> <<@whdndrn says : Why not competing super AI out to destroy each other?>> <<@DontTalkPolitics says : This idea that humans “need purpose” to be mentally satisfied/happy is such bullshit!!!>> <<@nicholaswilliamobrien2451 says : Honestly, this is a horrible time to be alive. Everything we love about the old world is going to leave us very soon. As for the future, best case scenario: basically every job in every industry, and those things we do to give our lives meaning will be taken from us. Worst case scenario: humans are not just destroyed, but replaced entirely. Anyone who is thinking this won't turn the world upside down in virtually no time is just not getting it. Honestly, this is a horrible time to be alive. Everything we love about the old world is going to leave us very soon. As for the future, best case scenario: basically every job in every industry, and those things we do to give our lives meaning will be taken from us. Worst case scenario: humans are not just destroyed, but replaced entirely. Anyone who knows anything about our solar system''s sun knows that in a few billion years it will expand and consume Earth. And a few billions years later, all of the energy and light in the universe will fade to nothing. That never really bothered me. Why would it? It was so far away. But what's happening now is like a digital sun expanding, and instead of taking millenniums, or just centuries, it is taking years. This is happening at a shockingly rapid rate, and that is the worst part of it. We have no time to even come to terms with it, let alone absorb it in a way that does not destroy our entire way of life. Meanwhile, sociopaths like Altman, who is set to become even more unimaginably rich than he already is, is telling us to chill, while also building survival sites on huge areas of land should Armageddon happen. Bastard, and all those like him. So utterly dishonest, cynical, and dangerous. Homo sapiens have been trying to obtain a competitive advantage on their neighbour for hundreds of thousands of years, so that we can attract the best mate and pass on our DNA. This instinct to obtain an edge over others is literally part of our DNA. To suggest that rival governments, or mega companies, or individuals, will put the good of strangers ahead of their own security and competitive advantage, is hopelessly delusional. And even if I'm completely wrong, and the world has the Kumbaya moment (which would never, ever happen for so many reasons), where billions of people and companies and governments all decide on the same path forward, at the same time, for the benefit of everyone else, it would still take only a handful of people, or organisations, to weaponise AGI (or whatever it becomes in the next few years) and basically destroy the world. Finally, Gawdat, who has spent the whole duration of his working lives chasing the creation of AI, and reaping the rewards of his immense intelligence which he did not earn, and now that AI is about to change the world, he is talking about how dangerous it is, and wants credit for trying to sound an alarm, without any trace of shame or responsibility, and all while plugging his books, and talking about the wonderful things he has had in his life.>> <<@ChristopherDowning-p1p says : "Rapture of the church" = "upgrade to new device">> <<@ukkc4355 says : Gamer society is already living in a matrix cyber space. I think we will have the option to enter a pure VR mind state in our lifetime. Many more Black Mirror episodes ahead.>> <<@Dboy-n1c says : The elepahant in the room is that humans are obsolete.. and will be phased out>> <<@Dboy-n1c says : The age of conspiracy?😅>> <<@comerunwithmig says : Tom always tends to worry about this nonsense thing and imo the least of our worries when it comes to AI doing everything. Being, what would give your life purpose if you don't have a job....Are you FU**ING serious ?!?!? You must have a really sad pathetic life if work is the thing giving it meaning. Or maybe and in Toms case it seems so, you have a very fun, super paying, fairly easy job like podcasting. I would venture a guess (based anecdotally too on everyone i know) 70-80% of people get no meaning whatsoever from work it's just something that has become a total necessity for all. Till recently at least women got to stay home raising kids now that is kind of out of the question. I think without work you are actually way more likely to find real meaning in your life, and have time to pursue much better things, like spending more quality time with loved ones, spirituality, cooking and eating properly, time to exercise, learn something new which truly makes you happy like an instrument. I personally have a pretty fun, cushy well paying job, but MOST people do not, they either have a shit job or they have a ton of pressure and workload that makes them work loads of hours and have an atrocious work life balance. And although i have a job i enjoy (for the most part) and I make good money, I would love to not have to work and just focus on all the things that bring me real joy like, exercising, meditating, cooking, playing the piano, and reading. And let me tell you I would definitely be a happier and healthier person all round if i didn't have to work. Most if not all people I know who get bored or wouldn't know what to do if they don't work is because they never took the time to figure out what "hobbies" or activities other than their job make them happy. And sorry but if your'e a parent nowadays trying to juggle being an active parent and the rat race is nigh on impossible and for the most part quite depressing. After a day of working and taking care of the kids there's a tiny amount of time to connect with your partner and nearly no time for yourself. In conclusion work is shit, we were never meant to work so much and it hardly seems like its conducive to living a full life. Worrying about not having a job to give you purpose in the future seems quite stupid and sad. Who knows maybe we actually start living a truly balanced life and out of a 7 day week we work 3 or 4 days rather than 70% of your week is a work day.>> <<@ShireFolk2025 says : I'm almost 70 and life has been weird for almost 70 years.>> <<@aprendemosunapalabra6348 says : Worst interviewer i have ever come across, why do "things" need to matter ??? and as for Minecraft, i often enter it VR for its emptiness to relax. Problem with people like you... is you have no imagination curiosity forethought etc... you need people to tell you what to do and how to think.>> <<@fairysolaris says : this is interesting but very narrow its people who consider status talking about how that small sector of humanity is going to cope with ai ...they will be fine , status will line up and fit in with ai no problem artificial can cater for artificial ... there is however a whole sector of humanity where value and purposes has zero to do with social status but nick is not qualifed to comment thats a conversation for someone with more empathy and less ideas....till it was intresting to see how the other side thinks. so thank you .>> <<@user-sm8wo3dj5z says : @TomBilyeu 1:06:12 i theorise that its possible that some people choose to live in that "reality" . The blue pill red pill thing maybe isnt very different of a future reality. Not to say we will be batteries for the machines but that maybe some people will choose a virtual life. Dont we already do? If all changes to an utopic reality maybe we also need a change like Douglas Quaid....>> <<@ChristopherMonague says : I watched,,,many of your video's Tom, enjoy your PRODUCTION......Hey, Tom,,,,,,just collapse the wave form - Hint ! Enjoy your day !>> <<@ktot0-w7z says : We won't live to see any utopia because we're in the glitchy trial run stage 😕>> <<@coldlogiccrusader365 says : AI will not "Take Over". The Elite who fund it's expansion WILL! Larry Ellison, Sam Altman, ETC and the usual gang of controllers, Klauss Schwab types T They will be in Control, AI will simply be their tool box. So 8 Billion people, WHY would our overlords keep 8 Billion OBSOLETE, NOT NEEDED people Alive??? Fuck this Bostrom ASSHOLE, Why would the new masters WASTE resources on 8 Billion humans that THEY consider USELESS EATERS WAKE UP PEOPLE!!>> <<@Dan-e4h7b says : We can always use A.I. to solve the problems that A.I. causes. I'm hoping that A.I. will allow us to focus on higher levels of Abrahams Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs.>> <<@elevatedpulses says : Online porn?! What's this now?!>> <<@luisadorno3214 says : My thought on this discussion, is that humans will accept more readily AI, once AI has solved something for mankind. Cancer, longevity, diseases, increasing our IQs, our life situations. In essence AI has to visibly earn a place in our lives in order to be welcomed.>> <<@martin-fc4kk says : pure fantasy>> <<@anthonyandrew6725 says : His idea of individual status feedback will not be accepted in the long term. Short term for the individual but the lack of true comparison, which gives any status its value, will eventually become meaningless, even for the individual involved as he can assume anything at will in a closed system only inhabited by him/herself.>> <<@anthonyandrew6725 says : Another fault I can see in this projection of Utopia is that it assumes a state state of final euphoria. Which has never happened in human existence. It sounds like this guy is advocating for a kind of zombiism.>> <<@anthonyandrew6725 says : Another fault I can see in this projection of Utopia is that it assumes a state state of final euphoria. Which has never happened in human existence. It sounds like this guy is advocating for a kind of zombiism.>> <<@anthonyandrew6725 says : When you’re a tech bro every solution involves computational power.>> <<@anthonyandrew6725 says : Utopian idealism never survives meeting the selfishness of human evolutionarily biology. There are a multitude of values in the world, which becomes the benchmark? And, seeing as this is really just a supercharged industrial revolution what happens in the competitive stage as various nations develop AI to reflect their subjective values?>> <<@anthonyandrew6725 says : Sounds almost identical to 17th Century Religious belief systems. Just substitute AI for God.>> <<@kristenporterfield6075 says : Free energy>> <<@cantonold7014 says : It is a technocratic system that the Pentagon runs from the top down. It no longer needs so many proxies(fbi,cia,etc) to deflect blame for its fascist policies. It is the beginning of a formal parasitic divergence. A human singularity is needed.>> <<@jayhawkins9459 says : Yeah if people truly start living in and value the virtual matrix more, to have a better body or whatever we lose our souls and humanity , definitively. Nothing subjective about it. Already starting>> <<@raed3620 says : @tombilyeu The difficulty of differentiating ourselves to find a mate and propagate our DNA is fundamentally the struggle of life. AI can't replace this. It might replace podcasters, but they're a penny a dozen already.>> <<@Dooderinobandito says : Well as fruitopia showed us, things that end in topia sound like they will be good, but then you experience it and its like hmmm naaaaah>>
