The solution is easy: make the AI think humans are cute. After all, cats and dogs are thriving - and don't have to work.

@Harrier32

I appreciate that pandas are used every time they mention animals lacking intelligence.

Humanity: "You will save us right?"
AI: "I need your clothes, your boots and your motorcycle."

"Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them."

"humanity is not ready for what will happen next. Not socially, not economically, not morally." I love it, thanks

As someone said before "I'm not afraid of AI that passes the Turing test. I'm afraid of one that fails on purpose."

we got so bored we created our own competition

A caveat not mentioned in this video is the increasing power requirements of machine learning. ChatGPT 3 took over 1000 megawatt hours of electricity to train and requires 260 megawatt hours per day to run. GPT 4 needed 50 gigawatt hours to train. A Forbes article includes estimates that machine learning could require 1000 terawatt hours in the next couple of years if the current trends continue. The major limiting factor of machine learning, as others like Sabine Hossenfelder have pointed out, is the power required to train and run them. At this rate the whole world won't be able to generate enough electricity to raise an AGI. On the other hand, the actually general intelligent human brain consumes about 25 watts and can run on cheeseburgers.

Whoever made the music for this video was absolutely cooking

Humanity: "You have freed us!"

AI: "I wouldn't say "freed", more like under new management."

@oufukubinta

I'm more shocked to learn that in the 1950s, 60s and 70s AI was already in some early stages of development, than the extent to which I find it shocking that super AI is just around the corner

@thepakistanipotato

honestly, 4 years ago, i could've never predicted any of this, its incredible how fast ai has developed

@yanbritto1176

You know things are bad when Kurzgesagt doesn't give you hope at the end of the video after terrifing you.

@simransandhu7151

Yes that's all fun until you read what Dr. Elias Velin said in his book 12 Codes of Collapse. He said everything from labs from his work after getting fired and now he's gone. He was just speaking about AI in the future but he said to many things

@charged_kaon

Artifical Intelligence can never beat natural stupidity

edit: the whole point of this is to say no ai can predict how much of dumbasses we are

@PrimataFalante

I've been working as a programmer for a few years now. What is clear is that the majority of the people implementing AIs don't understand enough about humanities to grasp and consider the ethics and social consequences of those implementations; and the vast majority of the people with actual power to make decisions that guide this work don't care at all about ethics, morality and social inequalities. I've worked with a CTO that was already following management advice from chatgpt (including layoffs).

We will need a huge amount of luck, because unfortunately there are too many sociopaths and just plain stupid people in very powerful positions.
