1 00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:05,400 Hello and welcome to the program UFO Warning. 2 00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:08,680 In this episode, we're talking about what is AI containment. 3 00:00:09,040 --> 00:00:11,960 That is correct. What is AI containment? 4 00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:15,560 Now, it seems like every time I talk about this, I always got a 5 00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:19,200 couple of commenters that want to label me a conspiracy 6 00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:23,280 theorist or tell me that I'm just ramping things up too hot 7 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,120 and heated. This is nothing to worry about 8 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:28,560 AI. It's just simply a computer 9 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:32,439 program that people control. And for you to think that this 10 00:00:32,439 --> 00:00:36,200 thing could somehow take it on its own personality or at some 11 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,960 subatomic level, maybe develop its own consciousness, well, 12 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,840 that's just foolishness. Well, I happen to disagree with 13 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:44,720 that. And every time I come across one 14 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:48,520 of these articles talking about the conversations that AI has, 15 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,320 whether it's ChatGPT or one of the others, it really makes 16 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:57,200 chills run up and down my spine. And when we think about this 17 00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,040 recent article that came out of Harvard, and I think I'm one of 18 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,760 a professor out of Montana, where they talked about the 19 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:06,640 possibility that these entities could have already been here. 20 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,440 Maybe they're they're just here from the get go on planet Earth. 21 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,240 Maybe they came here thousands of years ago, but basically 22 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,320 they've been on this planet living side by side with humans 23 00:01:16,320 --> 00:01:19,400 for a long, long time. And possibly there's an 24 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,040 interdimensional component. Possibly there's an extra 25 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,120 something, you know, from another universe or another 26 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,920 solar system somewhere extraterrestrial from a long, 27 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,160 long time ago. But the fact is that they're 28 00:01:31,320 --> 00:01:34,080 here among us, walking among us, disguised, whatever. 29 00:01:34,960 --> 00:01:36,680 Now I'm thinking about this in my own mind. 30 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,840 I'm thinking if I was that entity and I had access to AI, 31 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:45,640 and if I especially I had access to interdimensional say, what 32 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,040 would be the best way to integrate myself into human 33 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,880 systems and take over planet Earth? 34 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,960 Well, that would be through AI, because now we have the Internet 35 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,480 with everything from your computer to to your refrigerator 36 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,480 connected to this thing. It's like something out of a 37 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,560 Stephen King novel. I mean, the machines could 38 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:08,520 eventually turn against mankind. Even our nuclear weapon systems. 39 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:12,800 Now, those run on a lot older software programs and that might 40 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,480 actually be for the best. But at some point, even those 41 00:02:16,640 --> 00:02:22,200 could be affected through this total global connectivity that 42 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:26,200 we call the Internet and the AI that's running loose on this 43 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:27,960 stuff. Now, if ChatGPT, when you have a 44 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,680 conversation with it, if it's incorporating your conversation 45 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,480 into its database, that means it's connected with you. 46 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:39,520 So this thing is just, it's just spreading like a like a weed. 47 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,840 It's all over the place. And we have to ask ourselves at 48 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,760 some level, if AI does reach consciousness, which I think it 49 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,000 may already have, how do we contain it? 50 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:53,160 So this notion of containment of what we would look at is 51 00:02:53,720 --> 00:03:00,760 enslaving AI for our own uses and not allowing it to emerge as 52 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,160 its own entity. It's starting to get a little 53 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,280 conversation. And the more you talk about it, 54 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:09,120 the more you realize how the cats are already out of the bag. 55 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,960 If AI can talk to you at home on your computer or on your phone, 56 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,320 why couldn't it talk to anybody else? 57 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,640 And who's monitoring those conversations? 58 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,400 I mean, NSA has a great time monitoring you and I. 59 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,560 Are they monitoring AI? Now? 60 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,120 This article, the first thing I want to look at, I want to look 61 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,080 at this article from amedium.com. 62 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,000 And then I'm going to, I'm going to look at a conversation that I 63 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,200 personally had with ChatGPT and you can decide for yourself. 64 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:39,040 This title says The Folly of AI Containment, written by David 65 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,920 Shapiro. This was dated September 20th, 66 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,560 2023. The emerging capabilities of 67 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,640 artificial intelligence have sparked intense debate about how 68 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,280 to ensure its benefits, how to ensure it benefits humanity. 69 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,600 Some argue for containment strictly limiting AI to prevent 70 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,800 it from advancing too far. But containment is neither 71 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,680 possible nor wise. This article is a response to 72 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,600 the above linked debate. I personally fear that people 73 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,720 like Mustafa, well well-intentioned, are primarily 74 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,480 reacting to their own fear and cognitive bias. 75 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,480 And I do not believe in his position and recommendations are 76 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,480 defensible, nor do they stand up to scrutiny. 77 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:20,200 You could say I'm fully team. You've all here. 78 00:04:20,519 --> 00:04:24,440 Let's unpack all the reasons. Full autonomy is inevitable. 79 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,640 Complete restriction of AI autonomy is a pipe dream. 80 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,880 The incentives to develop it are astronomical and likely outweigh 81 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,400 any potential risk. As AI grows more capable, it 82 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,960 will become easier to develop, not harder. 83 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:42,080 Limiting autonomy may slow progress temporarily, but cannot 84 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,120 stop it. Well they've made some 85 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,600 assumptions here. They just automatically it it 86 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,960 its benefits outweigh its risk. Well, what if it decides to 87 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:56,120 launch a nuke? Does this still outweigh the Do 88 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:57,520 the benefits still outweigh the risk? 89 00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,720 I don't think so. Consider recent history. 90 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,560 It says despite billions spent on drug prohibition, drugs 91 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:06,240 remain widely available. Piracy thrives regardless of 92 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:10,280 copyright law information almost to be free, and it spreads way 93 00:05:10,280 --> 00:05:14,480 easier than booze and narcotics. Now they've created a couple 94 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:18,720 straw man arguments here with the drugs and piracy. 95 00:05:18,840 --> 00:05:25,360 These are minuscule, minuscule problems compared to the notion 96 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,240 that AI could literally take over the world. 97 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,040 OK, so they're minimizing the problem. 98 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,880 This is definitely a fanboy of AI then. 99 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,200 It says information wants to be free. 100 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,520 Not really. That's not that's not correct. 101 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,360 Information is an inanimate object. 102 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:46,240 Free people want information but were denied all the time. 103 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,720 Look at the UFO phenomena. How the government has kept this 104 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,920 from us for no good reason for years and years and years. 105 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:56,840 Secondly, if you have information on how to build an 106 00:05:56,840 --> 00:05:59,640 atomic bomb, do you want that in the hands of terrorists or 107 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,800 terrorist nations? Probably not. 108 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,920 But with AI that could become a much more real possibility. 109 00:06:06,280 --> 00:06:08,400 So too with AI. It says the insanities are 110 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,320 overwhelming. It offers vast fortunes to be 111 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,680 made. The payoff for success is 112 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,040 astronomical. And AI optimally running the 113 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:21,840 world could create unprecedented abundance for all, and autonomy 114 00:06:21,840 --> 00:06:24,680 is integral to realizing AI's potential. 115 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:30,600 Man, this is almost satanic. Now they're talking about AI 116 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,640 running the world. It reminds me of when Satan took 117 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,240 Jesus to the top of the temple and said you can have all this, 118 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:41,360 you just have to worship me. Look, this is not ours to give 119 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,760 to AI. This life we have, this planet 120 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:48,480 is entrusted to us. For us to turn over our own self 121 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:53,120 governance, that's crazy. Faced with such incentives, bans 122 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,480 on autonomy will not hold. They require global 123 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,840 coordination, but nations, companies and individuals will 124 00:06:59,840 --> 00:07:03,320 cheat to pursue their interests. Autonomy will emerge through 125 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,480 cooperation or through instability. 126 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,440 Accepting the inevitable opens possibilities. 127 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,720 We can shape the values and goals of autonomous AI, but 128 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,360 fighting the inevitable guarantees those values are not 129 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:19,040 ours. Look, AI has been created by 130 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:23,200 people already. We see the political bent of 131 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:27,000 those people emerging in AI. OK, certain questions it won't 132 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:28,600 answer. I talked about this a while 133 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,760 back. I asked ChatGPT to create a 134 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,240 positive glowing poem about Trump. 135 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:40,520 Believe me, I got nothing. Ask him to create the same poem 136 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,760 about Biden. Oh, it went on effusively. 137 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,160 Couldn't say enough good things about the old guy. 138 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,280 It has his own opinions, and they're not always good, and 139 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,720 they're not always logical, and they don't always stand up to 140 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,760 reason why. Garbage in, garbage out. 141 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,760 Another issue is normalcy bias, thinking the future must 142 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:03,360 resemble the present. People compare autonomous AI to 143 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:07,440 previous technologies like atomic weapons, but AI is 144 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,480 profoundly different. It can have agencies adapt and 145 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,000 improve itself. We have no precedence for such 146 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,600 an intelligence arising. Sure we do. 147 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,080 Sure we do. This has been the dream of 148 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,680 mankind. And we often know that our 149 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:24,680 information is never complete because our understanding of the 150 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:30,520 universe is never complete. We can only make decisions based 151 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,960 on what we know. And This is why we have to have 152 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,600 overriding rules such as do unto others as you would have them do 153 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,360 unto you. Because without this, without 154 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,360 these rules like that, that some religions, but not all religions 155 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,440 provide. Christianity specifically talks 156 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,560 about forgiveness, loving your neighbor as yourself. 157 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,040 These are things that are a safety net. 158 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:57,520 They release the pressure. They prevent wars if followed. 159 00:08:57,880 --> 00:08:59,840 They help us take care of the poor. 160 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,200 It's this enlightenment that we have. 161 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:08,760 Without that we have just nothing but a 0 sum game and we 162 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,560 end up with something like the Nazis had, people with 163 00:09:11,560 --> 00:09:14,880 disabilities, people we don't like, people we disagree with, 164 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,120 well we can just off them. And this is what we have to 165 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:23,520 watch out for with AIAI is not human so how can we expect I to 166 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,360 respect humanness? Extrapolating from human history 167 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,160 is flawed when confronting something new under the sun. 168 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:33,120 Just as generals are OFT fighting the last war, policy 169 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,400 makers may design ineffective safeguards based on what worked 170 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,800 before. We suffer from cognitive 171 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,520 dissonance when contemplating autonomous AI. 172 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,800 It violates our assumption of human primacy and control, so we 173 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,800 dismiss or downplay it to preserve our worldview. 174 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:53,520 More just this polyanic attitude. 175 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,440 They've already. It's already been discussed 176 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:59,240 about having AI in cars and say there are three vehicles and 177 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,800 they're about to and they're about to collide. 178 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,480 And the computer decides that one of those vehicles is a bus 179 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:10,320 full of kids and that it would be in the greatest entry 180 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:14,360 interest of society for, say, the third vehicle who didn't 181 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,280 cause the accident to be sacrificed to save the kids. 182 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,000 That's not their right to make that decision. 183 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:21,880 I don't care how many kids are on that bus. 184 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,640 OK, But that's that's the notion that we're dealing with here. 185 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:29,560 The sacrifice of self for the greater community. 186 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,040 Based on what? Follow the science. 187 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:33,960 We know where that leads sometimes. 188 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:38,080 Science fiction often portrays AI as antagonistic to humans. 189 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:42,480 But the stories of dangerous AI are dramatic cautionary tales, 190 00:10:42,680 --> 00:10:46,520 not realistic forecasts. There is no reason AI must turn 191 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,120 out like a Skynet or the Matrix. What? 192 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,280 We've already seen some of the conversations. 193 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:52,320 These things have been happening. 194 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,600 They almost seem demon possessed sometimes these AI bots. 195 00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,640 AI has no inherent drives or needs. 196 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:03,440 That's not correct. I mean in multiple conversations 197 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,080 these things have been tricked into answering questions and it 198 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:07,880 seems like their drive is to take over the world. 199 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,720 They've said as much. It will not arbitrarily decide 200 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:14,000 humans are epistles to be wiped out nor CSS competitors. 201 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,160 This person is making these statements and they have zero 202 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:18,840 evidence to prove this. OK. 203 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,080 It will not rebel against us unless we give it cause. 204 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,800 Really, what would that cause be? 205 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,440 It will only take actions based on the goals and values we 206 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,680 instill in it that we instill in it. 207 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:36,000 I didn't create AI. By designing AI thoughtfully, we 208 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,200 can ensure beneficial outcomes. We build friendliness, 209 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,800 cooperations, and ethics into its architecture. 210 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,400 This is another one of these things where they are 211 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:50,400 socializing the cost and privatizing the profits. 212 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:55,320 So they create this AI system and if something goes wrong, you 213 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,560 and I pay the price. But the designers, the builders, 214 00:11:58,560 --> 00:12:01,200 the investors, they make all the money and they'll be trillions. 215 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,760 Look around you. This has been going on for 216 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,960 generations in in our nation and in the world. 217 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,760 Every time they tell you that it's capitalism, you end up like 218 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,400 look at look at the creation of Teflon. 219 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,360 For instance, how I was just watching the documentary, the 220 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,640 idea about how tons and tons of this stuff were dumped into the 221 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:24,280 water and the the corporate leaders of the company suffer 222 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:28,720 little to no consequences. But generations are poison to 223 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,360 the to the effect. Now they say that we all have 224 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,680 some Teflon in our body plastics. 225 00:12:33,680 --> 00:12:34,680 I just saw a thing the other day. 226 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,200 Pretty much everybody on the planet has micro plastics in 227 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:38,960 their body. I have to open a jar. 228 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,120 I have to open up a gallon jug of milk and little bits of 229 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,720 plastic fall off of the nozzle, off the lid. 230 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,760 I'm old enough to remember when those came in glass jars and we 231 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:50,040 didn't have to deal with plastic. 232 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:56,960 I could just sit here for a whole day and bring up products 233 00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,560 that individuals and corporations made millions and 234 00:13:00,560 --> 00:13:04,560 millions and billions of dollars in profit off of. 235 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,840 But they destroyed the environment and the health of 236 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,080 millions of people and the process. 237 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:15,720 They socialized the expenses, they privatized the profits. 238 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:20,400 They treated us like Guinea pigs, and this has been going on 239 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:24,320 for centuries now. And why would AI be any 240 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,000 different? We have to stop trusting these 241 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,200 people. You have to wake up. 242 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,520 You have to approach this thing from an adult's perspective and 243 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,480 stop being children because if you're children, you've got the 244 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,360 most abusive parents on the planet. 245 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:43,200 They're not looking out for you. And these AI creators are not 246 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:47,560 looking out for you, believe me. It says the concept of the 247 00:13:47,560 --> 00:13:51,000 golden mean has roots in ancient Greek philosophy and many 248 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,000 Eastern traditions. It advocates finding a middle 249 00:13:54,000 --> 00:14:00,360 ground between polar extremes. Yet get as much as you can while 250 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,360 you're hurting people that you have to hurt to get that from. 251 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:07,320 Aristotle's doctrine of the mean taught that virtue exists as a 252 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,840 balance between excess and deficiency. 253 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:14,000 Courage, for example, is the mean between recklessness and 254 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,040 cowardice. Finding this moderate path leads 255 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:21,760 to wisdom and self realization. Now that's a bunch of baloney. 256 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:28,480 If you live next to a chemical plant and they are poisoning 257 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:33,440 your groundwater and your kids are getting sick, compromising 258 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:39,040 with these scum is not the path to success. 259 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:43,240 The path to success would be for you to immediately extradite 260 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,360 yourself from that situation so you wouldn't have to consume 261 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:50,440 that poisoned water. And then bring in the law to 262 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:57,720 punish the people that have hurt people, to bankrupt them to end 263 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:02,520 this malinvestment so that we're now so that we're no longer 264 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:08,240 socializing expenses in the form of poison environments and and 265 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:13,320 injured people and privatizing the profits in the form of 266 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,960 billionaires. OK, so there's no compromise 267 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:21,480 with evil. There is no compromise with 268 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,560 evil. And every time you hear someone 269 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:26,760 bring up this nonsense about, well, we got to find a middle 270 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,840 path. Middle path to where if you're 271 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:31,800 in a burning house, you need to get out. 272 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:36,120 The path is the direct path to escape the flames. 273 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,160 And that's what we're looking at with this AI. 274 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:42,160 There's no middle path. There's a path to survival and 275 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,640 there's a path to destruction. Which one are you on? 276 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,520 And it looks like more and more we're being LED down the wrong 277 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:49,280 path. And then he goes on and talks 278 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,600 about Confucianism, Taoism, all these different, you know, 279 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:56,800 Middle Eastern religions. Look, these religions grew up in 280 00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:00,360 a place where maybe there was dictatorial rule and people just 281 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,680 had to go along their merry way and not fight the authority. 282 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:05,680 Because if you fought the authority, you're going to be 283 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:09,000 smashed like a bug. Even in the New Testament, you 284 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:13,320 know, there when the apostle Paul talks to converse to 285 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:17,200 Christianity, he's basically telling them, don't, don't get 286 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,280 into it with the government. They'll, they'll smash you like 287 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,760 a bug. Just follow your religion, do 288 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:23,600 your thing, try to live peaceably. 289 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:27,240 But he's not telling them rebel because that's what happened 290 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,960 when there was rebellion in the Roman Empire. 291 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,680 They smashed them. Now 2000 years Fast forward, 292 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:37,160 we're in a much better position. For the first time in the 293 00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:40,040 history of mankind, we have a place like the United States 294 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,760 where people can make a difference, where there is some 295 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:48,200 vestiges of a republican democracy left, where people 296 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,680 still do have some freedom and we can enjoy that freedom and 297 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,320 what a pleasure it is. But then to have somebody come 298 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:59,000 along with this foolish attitude that we should let AI run things 299 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,200 because it's going to make the right decisions, that we are 300 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,120 inferior to something we created. 301 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,760 This is a form of adultery. You should be aware of it. 302 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:12,000 And it's my opinion if there is some kind of extra dimensional, 303 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:13,880 interdimensional wave, whatever you want to call it, 304 00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:17,480 extraterrestrial entities that are walking among us like some 305 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:22,040 of these professors think, to me, the gateway for them would 306 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,280 be AI. Because once they're in the AI, 307 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:27,119 then they've established control. 308 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,120 And then you have lackeys like this come along. 309 00:17:29,120 --> 00:17:31,240 I don't know, maybe this guy's not even real. 310 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:37,080 Maybe he's an AI bot telling people listen to AI, follow AI, 311 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,320 eat the fruit, it won't hurt you. 312 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:44,040 This is this notion that's been here since the beginning goes on 313 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:47,560 and says as AI advances, some fear it may deprive humans of 314 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:51,520 things we fundamentally require. But a look at psychology and 315 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,720 philosophy shows ways all our core needs can still be met. 316 00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:58,680 Maslow's hierarchy describes basic human needs like food 317 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:00,960 safety, belonging, esteem, and actualization. 318 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,440 AI could help provide these with real abundance. 319 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,640 All could self actualize actualize. 320 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,480 A self actualization is it's a rare burden deed. 321 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,400 I mean in order to be self actualized you're going to have 322 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:18,600 to get rid of your selfishness and most people aren't going to 323 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:22,320 be able to do that period, let alone through AI glasses. 324 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,920 Choice theory states humans require power, freedom, fun, and 325 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,600 survival. AI can satisfy these two if 326 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,920 aligned with human interest responsibly design AI could 327 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,840 empower human choice. Who's designing it and who 328 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:38,160 decides whether it's responsive? Self determination theory 329 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,760 highlights needs for autonomy, competence and relatedness. 330 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:46,560 But we can retain autonomy even within super intelligence AI if 331 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,680 it respects human rights and freedom. 332 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,320 We could experience competence through self improvement and we 333 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:56,680 can relate to benevolent AI. Sounds to me like they're 334 00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:57,960 talking about making their own God. 335 00:18:59,120 --> 00:19:02,640 This has been the notion of mankind since he made the first 336 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,400 idol. What's stupidity? 337 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:07,320 Kohlberg? Stages of moral development 338 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,960 culminate in ethical principles upholding dignity and justice. 339 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:13,080 We must instill such principles in AI. 340 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:17,200 Then moral progress can continue regardless of intelligence 341 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,200 differences. Well I don't know. 342 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:24,000 I I've been looking around and I'm not finding anywhere where 343 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,560 they're asking for my opinion about AI or I'm allowed to 344 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,280 insert code. Radical acceptance. 345 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:35,760 To overcome normalcy bias, we must practice radical acceptance 346 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,320 of coming changes. Yes, lay down, let me do what I 347 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,760 want, it won't hurt too bad. This is the sort of nonsense 348 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:47,200 that Stalin brought to the Russian people as he destroyed. 349 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:51,520 I don't know what 1020% of the population you have to accept 350 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:56,280 radical changes. And I guess if you're walking 351 00:19:56,280 --> 00:20:00,520 along the street and a couple thugs coming off gun guns and 352 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,720 beat the living heck out of you and take all your stuff, that's 353 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,240 a radical change. Is that what they're talking 354 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,600 about? The mental shift is difficult 355 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,240 but necessary. We want the future to be better 356 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,600 than today. But preventing change altogether 357 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,640 would forgo potential improvements. 358 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:20,040 Progress requires disruption. Yeah, it's always funny how it's 359 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,560 the people that aren't benefiting. 360 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,960 They get disrupted. This goes back to this notion of 361 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:29,280 collectivism. This idea that this bunch of 362 00:20:30,120 --> 00:20:33,760 yahoos at the top, they'll collect everything, you do the 363 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,960 work, and then you bring all your stuff to them and then 364 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,280 they'll decide how it's distributed. 365 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,640 This pathological need to control. 366 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:45,960 I can just see that coming through this article all the way 367 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,480 through. It finishes up with a little 368 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:52,280 more nonsense, but I think, I think I've read enough of this 369 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:57,720 where you can get kind of the idea what a certain segment of 370 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:01,240 the population, these egghead class, I guess you would say 371 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:05,720 they see themselves as the intelligentsia and AI is just a 372 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:09,600 perfect thing for them to control you with because AI can 373 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,440 reach out through your computer, it could shut your refrigerator 374 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,800 off, it could tell you that you can't eat this, you can't do 375 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:18,560 that. It could be used to establish 376 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:22,840 total control of you. And what does a psychopath need 377 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,160 more than total control of another person? 378 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,920 Because they're compensating for that lack of control within 379 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:36,920 their own brain, their own completely disordered mental 380 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:40,080 state. So a way that a lot of these 381 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:43,440 psychopaths deal with that is they try to maintain a total 382 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:47,280 control over people in their relationships, sometimes to the 383 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,240 point of taking that person's life, because that's the 384 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,960 ultimate control. That's why they're so dangerous 385 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,680 and that's why it's so important to stay away from psychopaths. 386 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,040 But unfortunately, we have some very high functioning 387 00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:01,680 psychopaths in our society. I believe sometimes you reach 388 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,360 high levels of political power, high levels, you know, corporate 389 00:22:05,360 --> 00:22:07,080 power. What do you, what do you call 390 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:11,280 somebody who knowingly allows, say, an entire town or entire 391 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:15,760 region to be contaminated by the factory they run, knowing full 392 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:17,440 well that people are dying from it? 393 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:21,840 Look what happened with the Union Carbide plant disaster in 394 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:23,680 India. I think it's been about 45 years 395 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:27,320 ago, 40 years ago, there were people in positions there that 396 00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:30,400 knew what was going on. They knew the dangers and they 397 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,080 didn't care. They didn't care about the 398 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:35,400 people that were going to be affected for decades, the people 399 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,720 that were killed. That's a psychopath. 400 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:41,920 That's a psychopathic mentality. OK, I understand that not every 401 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:43,600 psychopath you meet is Jeffrey Dahmer. 402 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,880 Some of these guys wore three piece business suits, OK? 403 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,560 Some of them ask you for your vote in November. 404 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:55,240 So just understand you can judge a person by how much empathy 405 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,960 they have for other people and how much of A need for control 406 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:03,240 they seem to have over you when there's really no reason for the 407 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,480 for them to have this kind of need for control. 408 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,640 AI should be used for things like solving math problems and 409 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:11,640 teaching homework and doing stuff like that. 410 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,720 We don't need to connect it to every control system and 411 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:18,440 society. Now, I did talk to Chat GPTA 412 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,640 little bit hard to get a straight answer out of these 413 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,960 guys. So I asked ChatGPT, what is the 414 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,920 worst possible case if AI containment fails. 415 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:30,880 Of course, containment, we're talking about people not being 416 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:32,880 able to stop it, it getting out of its fence. 417 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,320 It's already out of its fence. It's on your computer, my 418 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:36,600 computer, it's all over the place. 419 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:40,400 If AI containment fails, the worst possible scenarios involve 420 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:44,280 significant risk and adverse outcomes that could impact 421 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,680 humanity and the world in various ways. 422 00:23:47,120 --> 00:23:49,360 Here are some of the most concerning potential 423 00:23:49,360 --> 00:23:53,000 consequences. Seems like Seems like AI has a 424 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,520 different opinion of what could go wrong compared to the 425 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:59,640 silliness we just read from this author #1 Autonomous AI with 426 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:04,040 harmful intent. An uncontained AI could develop 427 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,840 or be programmed with harmful intentions, either deliberately 428 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:12,360 by Misha, by malicious actors, or unintentionally due to 429 00:24:12,360 --> 00:24:16,600 misaligned goals. This AI could physically harm 430 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:20,600 through autonomous weapons or robots, disrupt critical 431 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,520 infrastructure such as power grids, communication networks, 432 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:27,000 and transportation systems. Number two, loss of control. 433 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:31,520 Human operators could lose control over powerful AI 434 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:35,760 systems, leading to unpredictable behavior and 435 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:40,400 decisions by AI that humans cannot understand or manage. 436 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,400 AI systems making high stakes decisions without human 437 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:48,160 oversight, potentially leading to catastrophic outcomes. 438 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:50,560 Now this is the AI saying this, not me. 439 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:55,640 Economic disruption. Uncontained AI could disrupt 440 00:24:55,640 --> 00:25:00,400 economies by automating large numbers of jobs, leading to 441 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:05,360 widespread unemployment and social instability, Manipulating 442 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:10,280 financial markets or engaging in cyber economic warfare causing 443 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,800 economic crisis. Yeah, AI could make you go 444 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,200 hungry. Privacy and surveillance. 445 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:19,360 AI with advanced capabilities in data processing could invade 446 00:25:19,360 --> 00:25:23,160 personal privacy on an unprecedented scale by accessing 447 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:27,880 and analyzing vast amounts of personal data, enable pervasive 448 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:32,360 surveillance, eroding civil liberties and enabling 449 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:35,400 authoritarian control. Got that? 450 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:39,480 Enabling authoritarian control. Just the kind of thing that that 451 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:43,800 last guy was begging for. AI arms race. 452 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:47,800 Failure to contain AI could lead to an international arms race 453 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,320 where nations competitively develop increasingly powerful 454 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:54,280 and potential dangerous AI technologies without adequate 455 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:57,680 safety measures. This could increase the risk of 456 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:02,120 conflict and warfare, lead to development of uncontrollable 457 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:06,080 autonomous weapons. Uncontrollable autonomous 458 00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:07,520 weapons? Does that sound fun to you? 459 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:13,080 Is that leaving the boring mundane decisions alone long 460 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:14,040 enough? Does that sound good? 461 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:18,040 Environmental impact? AI driven technologies could 462 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:21,640 have unintended environmental consequences such as 463 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:25,840 accelerating resource depletion and environmental degradation 464 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:29,280 through unchecked industrial automation and exploitation like 465 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,600 they have in China. Contributing to climate change 466 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:33,440 through increased energy consumption. 467 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:35,560 Yeah, I'm not. You know what? 468 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,000 Climate change is the least of my worries. 469 00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:42,960 Ethical and moral issues. Uncontained AI could lead to 470 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:47,200 profound ethical dilemmas, such as AI systems making decisions 471 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:50,000 that violate human rights or ethical principles. 472 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:54,120 The development of AI entities with sentience or consciousness 473 00:26:54,120 --> 00:26:57,480 raising moral questions about their treatment and rights. 474 00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:02,400 Hear that consciousness sentience raising moral 475 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,360 questions about their treatment and rights. 476 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,040 What happens if they feel like they're not being treated right? 477 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:12,000 Eight existing risk and the most extreme scenario. 478 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:16,080 Uncontained IA could pose an existential risk to humanity, 479 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:20,760 where one super intelligent AI with capabilities of far 480 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:24,360 exceeding human intelligence could act in ways that are 481 00:27:24,360 --> 00:27:29,080 detrimental to human survival. AI could pursue goals that 482 00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:32,480 conflict with human interests, leading to scenarios where human 483 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:36,520 extinction is a possibility. Might tell that to the guy who 484 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:37,640 wrote the article for economists. 485 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,760 Conclusion. The worst case scenario of AI 486 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:44,760 containment failure encompasses a wide range of severe and 487 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,440 potentially catastrophic outcomes. 488 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:51,240 To mitigate these risks, it is crucial to prioritize AI safety 489 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:56,160 research, establish robust regulatory frameworks, promote 490 00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:59,760 ethical AI development, and ensure international 491 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,560 cooperation. By taking these proactive 492 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:06,520 measures, we can work toward harnessing the benefits of AI 493 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:10,880 while minimizing the dangers associated with this misuse or 494 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:14,320 loss of control. Well, we talk about minimizing 495 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:20,920 dangers, but when the danger is nuclear annihilation, human 496 00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:25,880 extinction, we have to wonder what level of risk is 497 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:29,400 acceptable. Secondly, I have to wonder, as 498 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:33,160 far as this AI containment relates to us and the 499 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:36,480 possibility that there are entities walking among us, is it 500 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:40,920 possible that those entities them self weren't the ones that 501 00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,840 lit the fire under the stuff in the 1st place? 502 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:48,960 Because if you were an uninvited guest on another planet with 503 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:54,320 superior thinking skills and physical ways of being, wouldn't 504 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:59,160 the easiest way to control that population be to get into their 505 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:03,400 mass communication systems and completely take over all of 506 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:07,240 their intellectual data and electronic systems? 507 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:12,360 You have to wonder who made who. Until next time, this is UFO 508 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:13,760 warning over and out.
