Everyone’s talking about artificial intelligence and machine learning. There are lots of names thrown around - OpenAI’s ChatGPT and DALLE-2, Google’s Bard, Meta’s LLaMa 2, Midjourney, AlphaFold…
Right now, we’re in this weird moment where lots of smart people agree we’re on the cusp of a truly world-changing technology. But some seem to be saying it’s going to lead to human extinction while others are saying it’s “more profound than fire.”
But it all feels so VAGUE.
I want to know: How specifically would AI kill me? Or totally transform my life for the better? In this video, that’s what I’m going to try to learn. We dive into what the most extreme bad and good AI futures actually look like, so that you and I can get ready. And more importantly, so we can make sure that we get our real future RIGHT.

Welcome to the joke down low:
This time, I asked GPT4 for an AI related joke. They were mostly TERRIBLE. Like:
“Why don’t AIs play hide and seek?“
“They always find you in seconds!“
Finally, it gave me:
“Why did the AI go to the gym?“
“It wanted to work on its ’training set’!“
… Good enough.
Use the word “training” in a comment to let me know you read to the end :)
