Ted Talk BOMBSHELL, Microsoft CEO WARNING,, Autonomous Vehicles DESTROYED, Apples Secret AI Plans,

The Wider question on now there was actually something I wanted to show you all because this is something that I think is rather important because as AI becomes more and more integrated into society we are going to see more and more instances of this where people are purposefully trashing autonomous vehicles or a aous property currently what you're seeing is an individual standing on top of a wh and then of course breaking the windshield with their foot now this is of course not good they are destroying you know private property which is essentially probably a crime at this point but I'm not too clued upon the laws the point is that the integration of autonomous technology into society is bringing some questions that maybe some people just aren't ready for this technology and maybe some people are just too scared now I think this it's a bit of an overreaction but I'm guessing that from the clip maybe the person is just homeless since they seem to be holding some kind of you know cardboard sign but discussions surrounding this are pretty interesting because like I said before this is something that is quite new and it's probably the first instances of this I mean one of the things that we've previously discussed and something that we've seen from industry leaders keep on stating is that in the future it's very likely that there will be 10,000 to 20,000 robots deployed you know not every day but like every month around the globe and I think if that is the case if there's billions of humano robots how are we going to integrate them into society when some people may just destroy them is it instantly going to become a crime and what is that crime going to be how long is the time going to be now the reason actually showed this clip as well was because there was actually an interesting conversation from the CEO of the company so the VP of the company actually explains what wayo is if you don't know what a weo is it's basically just an Uber without a driver and it's completely autonomous and yeah makes some rather fascinating points on why he thinks that this is the future and I have to say I do agree we have a lot of data to show that our deployments I think compared especially to humans in various studies is shown that we have a lot less our crash rate is a lot less and our property damage claims uh there is actually a collaboration with our Swiss re insurance company showing that say injury claims went to zero with our vehicles and property that's based on 3. 8 miles that they analyzed right and property damage claims went down 76% you're in the vehicle by yourself you can play the music you like you there's a certain level of I mean it's a hand vehicle it's a premium experience today for the price of normal experience I think over time there is tremendous opportunity to optimize both our models and vehicle cost and operations to make it yet more affordable we have a lot of I mean I think that is honestly quite interesting because it seems that you know taxi drivers I wouldn't say they're going to get replaced entirely but as it does get rolled out to more cities as these cars become more adaptable to certain scenarios that they haven't seen before and as they start to learn the roads more and more I think it's not going to be surprising if we do see this rolled out worldwide I mean if cars are fundamentally better drivers than us and if regulations require that you know you have to have something that is extremely safe I'm guessing that this is most likely the future because humans are usually the ones that cause errors 90% of the time when someone crashes maybe they weren't looking maybe they weren't paying attention but usually these systems can work and of course you're going to have to get to a system that is like 99. 9% accuracy because if you extrapolate that out to let's say 100 million Vehicles if you have 99% then that 1% is actually quite a lot of crashes so you do need something that's like 99. 999% accuracy um and I'm guessing that maybe sometimes some of these cars will have to actually work together to ensure that there's no crashes but I'm guessing that it's going to be kind of fascinating to see how this thing kinds of rolls out because some people talk about the personal experience of being in an autonomous vehicle with no physical driver and some people do like actually having a human driver that they can ask to you know change the song do these kinds of things I mean I'm personally on 50/50 because number one I don't want people to lose their jobs because I know that a lot of people that do Uber and stuff like that they essentially require that because their jobs just aren't enough and they need some extra money whether it be to fund a new business idea or whether it to fund a kid that's going to school or something like that I think those things are important so if you do take that away I'm wondering how certain people will make money but at the same time I do completely understand the proposition that these cars propose I mean getting in an auton vehicle that takes you from point A to point B you don't have to talk to anyone speak to anyone you can set the music set the temperature without having to you know awkwardly ask anyone I mean seems kind of like a dream so let me know what you

think about that now another piece of content that I did see that I did find interesting and before you all think that this is boring this is a piece of content that was formed with udio so the reason I'm actually showing you this is not because it's the piece of content but because it gives us a glimpse into what the future might look like and in terms of completely AI generated content now currently you're watching this on YouTube and there is currently the question of whether or not in the future we will have completely AI generated experiences and this is um you know something that's a little bit like that in the sense that the content you're hearing is from udio which is an AI music generation software tool which is outstandingly good and I'm only going to play like the first 30 seconds but I wanted you all to hear why this uh captivated me and certain audiences scre heck scre am I mean how h would it be to have an application where you have completely AI generated stuff that is fine-tuned to what you like I mean I'm guessing I wonder how considering the fact that when we look at how traditional social media platforms are designed they play on our dopamine receptors and if you don't know what I mean by this the reason social media is so effective is because you don't know when you're going to get your next hit if you basically look at it as if it's a slot machine which is how they fundamentally designed these plat platforms essentially what they're trying to do is mimic that so you know how you swipe down or on Tik Tok you'll scroll down and you don't know when the next good video is going to appear That's essentially the same kind of dopamine feedback loop that you get when you're on a slot machine and you don't know when your next win is coming from so I'm wondering how if that changes if we're going to get completely just continual hits of dopamine because every single piece of content is going to be one that we enjoy that's going to be something that I do find to be interesting uh and I really do want to see how that could potentially work in the future now of course we do have the economic side of things and the fact that you know video platforms already struggle to make money and the compute costs are pretty crazy but I think this is a little glimpse into the future of what might happen if economies a scale kick in and you know prices seem to go

down now there's also discussion of Apple's next big things Apple has their llms and they apparently will all be local and on device from the start no Cloud according to Bloomberg and there were rumors about this for a while but this is a big momentum shift to local now recently with the release of llama 3 we've seen how crazy it is that a 70 billion parameter model can run as effective as nearly some of the other models like claud's models and this is a big game changer because when you have a model that doesn't need to be connected to the internet in order to work I mean the possibilities are endless because now we can have systems that you know the inference cost is pretty much just on your device and you can have things that are really rapid in terms of if you wanted to apply it to like a robot for example because the problem is with some systems unless you're talking about Gro which is insanely fast is the fact that there is just a huge delay and this does allow for a greater range of applications which really does change the future and I think this is going to be really good for Apple because if we can have Siri 24/7 even when we don't even have internet and it's able to talk to us in a very fascinating way and it's able to do stuff for us I've been paying attention to the research and the research papers that they've been dropping it seems like we're really going to head into a crazy future now the reason I know that this is going to be so crazy is because whilst yes chat gbt is very popular you have to understand that I recently retweeted a tweet and the Tweet basically said that you know distribution beats like the actual base model so if you can distribute something more effectively that's going to beat even if your model is better than what you orally have because it allows it to be adopted more freely so the tweet here is distribution beats Tech with apple language model release later this year all of the open AI bet comes down to GPT 5 being revolutionary time to throw the dice and basically you can see someone said my pastor texted me saying that it's much easier to go to WhatsApp and ask meta AI than it is to go to chat GPT I mean of course chat GPT could get embedded into WhatsApp but the point is that ease of use is something that you know bests everything so once Siri becomes an llm or an AI system or even an AGI system you have to wonder are people going to use you know sites like chat gbt anymore if they can get absolutely everything from an OnDemand model that they can simply say Hey Siri and it can give you everything that chat gbt can which is a very fascinating question that could shift the Dynamics because Apple owns the large share of the iPhone Market in most of the Western countries and if they're able to capitalize on that because they already have the existing distribution they have the MacBooks they have the iPads they have the iPhones I mean it's going to really change how the average person interacts with AI so that's why I'm stating this here because if you remember Apple's been completely silent with regards to their AI updates and it's something that most people are confused on what they're doing and I'm guessing that Apple are probably just waiting for things to just be ironed out in terms of the reliability because their brand is one that is perfection but as we said before Apple's brand with perfection it doesn't kind of line up with ai's sloppiness and it will be an interesting challenge for them to navigate now apparently we have some interesting tweets here that it's not completely confirmation but I'm so hyped up on AI news that I just have to put this in the video and someone says that llama 38 billion will be amazing but

overshadowed by fire3 mini small 7B and medium 14 billion parameters this week the benchmarks are insane um and that was a model that was trained I think mainly on synthetic data and it pushes the boundaries on how compact models are able to perform on certain tasks so if that does come out later this week I think that will be something fascinating because it will show us exactly what we can do with AI now here we get onto the main meat of the video because this was something that was widely debated among the Twitter Community um and a lot of people were

giving maafia sulliman a lot of flak about this and if you don't know he's the Google deep mine co-founder founded inflection then is now at Microsoft AI as the CEO of that division so essentially just take a look at this clip first and then I'll you know get into why this was so controversial the EU have a huge piece of regulation called the EU AI act um you know Joe President Joe Biden has you know gotten his own you know set of proposals and um you know we've been working with both you know Rishi sunak and Biden and you know trying to contribute and shape it in the best way that we can look it isn't going to happen without regulation so regulation is essential it's critical um again going back to the precautionary principle but at the same time regul isn't enough and so when I say you know regulation is not enough what I mean is it needs movement it needs culture it needs people who are actually building and making you know in like modern creative critical ways not just like giving it up to you know companies or small groups of people right we need lots of different people experimenting with strategies for containment and the EU now I'm not sure why he was getting so much Flack for this statement on Twitter and why people were saying why would they hire diesel that someone that's not pure accelerationist and I just think that isn't the full picture as someone that is you know been in as many AI companies as he has and as someone that has you know a crazy level of expertise people saying that it's sad and people saying that he's a diesel I don't think that this is as bad as you think it is I think the only thing that he's trying to say here is that you know we actually need to think about the problem fundamentally rather than just applying some old legislations that are going to be superseded the moment AI just goes up a notch and I think whilst yes right now it doesn't seem like AI safety is a problem things aren't a problem until they are a problem like you know it's easy to say that oh this is a diesel y y until you have a simple AI problem um and maybe the AI escapes containment and I know this sounds like complete fantasy sci-fi gibberish but it is until it isn't I mean generating images out of thin air was gibberish until it wasn't generating videos from text prompts and I think like I said before with now the agent wave coming I think things are going to get a lot more crazier and I think what people need to think about is not in terms of like products being slowed down and AI being regulated to hell and being like setting the timeline back you know a few years I think what people need to think about is the real risks of AI which is mainly the risks on your personal safety because right now if you exist on the internet someone could clone your voice clone your face they could understand all your tweets and how you talk they could you know do many just different things that you know wouldn't be possible previously and I mean it's going to be very hard to navigate that future with this level of technology and you have that problem you have many other problems and it doesn't seem like it until it is but I think in the future that's the only kind of Regulation he's talking about because this guy's an entrepreneur which means you know it's the principle of move fast and break things and I think whilst yes you do have to move fast and break things still be switched on with AI because there is that element of like okay if you make a mistake here the implications are a lot worse because this is the thing if we don't regulate AI now and I'm not saying slow it down what I'm saying is if you don't put in certain safeguards now so that like problems don't occur at all then when the problems do occur safeguards that will be implemented after will be far worse and the point I'm talking is like if we just say oh freely go go go and we're just you know 100 miles an hour the problem is that if a a major incident were to occur like an AI agent just going completely Rogue and just completely going off the rails governments could enact some Draconian laws that would push things further back than if you get ahead of it and that's the point that I think most people are missing but yeah like I said I'm not one that wants to slow down technology at all but I do say that it is at least wise to ensure that we see things before

they happen now of course there was also the Microsoft CTO actually speaking about regulation and he does have some good points about that the same way that when you're developing a technology there's this balance between you know benefits and harms that you're trying to weigh there there's also uh like positive and negative for regulation so like if you regulate too aggressively and too early like you may ctail the development of technology that can be unbelievably beneficial um and so you know the thing that I think again this is all about uh societal equilibrium here like yep we we have to do what we're doing in a way where we have enough societal trust where we can develop the technology and let people lay their hands on it and evaluate whether it's good or bad themselves so that we can inform the regulation that actually has to happen yeah um if you don't do that like you're kind of regulating into a vacuum you're sort of imagining what a future you know might be and like you don't even know that it exists and um you sort of risk two things like you regulating the wrong thing so like you think very thoughtfully about regulation you pass something and it doesn't produce the effect you intended uh or you know like you inhibit something that you could be very valuable so yeah it's very interesting on how this conversation is going to go and I think you know it is a hard job to actually regulate this technology because it's so Dynamic and there's so many elements that you know it's nearly impossible to get everything right now Mustafa San actually also did a interesting Ted Talk which in which he actually spoke about the existential risks of AI and I think I'm going to play Just 1 minute from that clip because uh I think as always it's good to remind yourself of what's actually coming in the wave I mean I've read his book it's actually insightful on how the future is dynamic and changing in terms of this new digital species which he called it so what is

this what are these AIS if we are to prioritize safety above all else to ensure that this new wave always serves and amplifies Humanity then we need to find the right metaphors for what this might become for years we in the AI community and I specifically have had a tendency to refer to this as just tools but that doesn't really capture what's actually happening here AIS are clearly more Dynamic more ambiguous more integrated and more emergent than mere tools which are entirely subject to human control so to contain this wave to put human agency at its Center and to mitigate the inevitable unintended consequences that are likely to arise we should start to think about them as we might a new kind of digital species now it's just an analogy it's not a literal description and it's not perfect I mean for a start they clearly aren't biological in any traditional sense but just pause for a moment and really think about what they already do they communicate in our languages they see what we see they consume unimaginably large amounts of information they have memory they have personality they have creativity they can even reason to some extent and formulate rudimentary plans they can act autonomously if we allow them and they do all this at levels of sophistication that is far beyond anything that we've ever known from a mere tool and so saying AI is mainly about the math or the code it's like saying we humans are mainly about carbon and water it's true but it completely misses the point and yes I get it this is a super arresting thought but I honestly think this Frame helps sharpen our focus on the critical issues what are the risks what are the boundaries that we need to impose what kind of AI do we want to build now there was also actually another Ted talking I got to be honest this was one that I truly enjoyed the most it was Daniela Russ the

Robotics and AI Pioneer and she actually spoke about how AI will step off into the screen into the real world now this two-minute clip showcases how they're managing to do that and their research is truly profound in the sense that you know it seems that we're going to get hit by this wave once it becomes full scale so of course I'm going to leave a link to this in the description but trust me when I say the full talk is honestly just mind-blowing created a kitchen environment where we instrument people with sensors and we collect a lot of data about how people do kitchen tasks um we need physical data because videos do not capture the Dynamics of the task so we collect muscle pose even gaze information about how people do tasks and then we train AI using this data to teach robots how to do the same tasks and the end result is machines that move with Grace and Agility as well as adapt and learn physical intelligence we can use this approach to uh teach robots how to do a wide range of tasks food preparation cleaning and so much more this means we can make almost anything we imagine today's AI has a ceiling it requires server Farms it's not sustainable it makes in inexplicable mistakes let's not settle for the current offering when AI moves into the physical world the opportunities for benefits and for breakthroughs is extraordinary you can get personal assistance that optimize your routines and anticipate your needs bespoke machines that help you at work and robots that Delight you in your spare time the promise of physical intelligence is to transcend our human limitations with capabilities that extend our reach amplify our strength and refine our precision and grant us ways to interact with a world we've only dreamed of we are the only species so Advanced so aware so capable of building these extraordinary tools yet developing F physical intelligence is teaching us that we have so much more to learn about technology and about our eles now

another thing that I did want to talk about as well just quickly is that a lot of people online are saying okay there's an AI bubble and they're taking screenshots of all the top AI companies and stating that it's crazy it's crazy but the point is that many people aren't missing and if you don't know I look at stocks all the time and crypto and all that stuff like every single day and this just doesn't make sense and when I say it doesn't make sense I don't mean fundamentally I mean they're just taking and cherry-picking stop stocks from the NASDAQ that are literally AI stocks and it's like this doesn't make sense the NASDAQ the entire of the NASDAQ is falling okay if you cherry pick some AI stocks that just so happen to be in the NASDAQ that doesn't mean an AI bubble is popping and trust me guys when there's an AI bubble what's going to happen is you're going to see random companies that slap AI in their name and they're going to get billion dollar valuations hundred millions of dollar valuations overnight and they are going to be iping and there's going to be so much money flooding the market that stage hasn't happened yet and trust me guys we're a little bit far away from any kind of AI bubble so these kinds of tweets are a bit disingenuous and I think what they do show is something else I think they're indicative of a trend where people just want AI to fail and I understand why it's because I don't think people are going to be excited for a technology that's going to replace them when it's supposed to augment them so I mean I guess this is something that people are currently expressing on the timeline and of course one of those stocks is of course Tesla

but what's crazy about that is with Tesla Elon Musk is apparently going to be adding grock into Tesla which is going to be rather fascinating because adding an llm to an autonomous car might give it certain other capabilities so I'm wondering what this development is going to look like because I'm pretty sure Tesla are going to be having some insane stuff from the year ahead because it seems like Elon Musk is back in charge and is really trying to put the company into shape you know it seems that he's been firing a lot of different organizations within Tesla and I'm pretty sure he's all in on AI from the few tweets I've seen about him you know stating that okay I'm all in on robotics now and stating that he's going to war with open Ai and figure um I think we're going to get some really crazy stuff especially considering the fact that he said grock 2 or grock 1. 5 is going to exceed everything on all benchmarks which means that you know he's really taken this seriously because the AI race is one you don't want to be behind in now there was this tweet that got over 1. 2 million views

that was essentially stating that you know Zuckerberg is essentially stating that there won't be any crazy increase in capabilities from the GPT Series in terms of GPT 4 onwards and he doesn't believe in states where a world of 100x improvement from GPT 4 are possible or that AGI is possible within a short time frame now of course this comes from his interview with dwes Patel and it was definitely an eye-opening interview into how meta are tackling the AI game and what their plans are but I don't think this is true and of course uh Dr Jim fan nvidia's senior AI research scientist said that even if GPT 5 plateaus robotics hasn't even started to scale yet because embodied intelligence in the physical world will be a Powerhouse for economic value and remember that llm is not all of AI it's just one piece of a bigger puzzle and that's of course something that I Tred to reiterate quite a lot whilst llms have taken the main stage they're not the only thing that goes on in Ai and trust me when you look at all of the research papers that keep going on it's kind of crazy how much progress is being done in AI like there are literally so many research papers published every single day it's actually pretty hard to keep up with and of course we had open AI employee or open AI leaker or open ey Insider honestly the identity of Rune is one that is still a mystery um and he says are we you know he responds to his tweet saying are we plate Zone um not even close so it seems that you know whatever is going on internally open a ey it seems that the plateau that many people are thinking of just isn't there and I think the reason that most people think of a plateau is because gb4 hasn't been basically surpassed and I mean meaningfully surpassed in around a year since its release a year and a bit since its release and because of that I think people are now seeing that these other AI labs are of course plateauing in trying to catch up to the model and because of that people think that there is going to be some kind of plateau but remember that open ey are quite ahead of the market and I guess we're going to have to wait till the next cycle to see where things truly are now there was also this crazy thing released by Adobe and I think the Adobe suite is honestly going to be purely video creation stuff and I mean it's going to really change the content creation game but they uh released video Gigan towards detail Rich super video resolution and you can basically do that crazy thing from movies where you say computer enhanced and then you get a super high resolution version and this is an eight times increase in the level of quality and I'm wondering if this is also potentially going to be applied to the end of AI video generators where you just use something to generate a low quality video image and then essentially you can just upscale it with this I mean taking that video and then upscaling it

to that is pretty intense if you ask me and I mean whilst to some people this might not seem impressive I think futuristic stuff simply becoming uh you know real every single day is something that we should take into account because I remember so many times people like ah enhance on a computer you can't just do that but you know clearly I mean the horse I mean that is pretty intense and like I said for the applications for this are going to be super interesting you know those videos on the cameras on the CCTV when you're looking at a guy and it's like you just can't see him you just can't make out any of his facial features well I guess if you're trying to commit crimes you might as well stop now because CCTV um those low resolution footage where it's like have you seen this man and it looks like footage from a PlayStation 2 game those days are going to be over so um yeah definitely some fascinating research
