What if you could go through any scientific document like this?

Pinching in/out = longer/shorter explanation
Swiping left/right = easier/more technical explanation

I currently keep yelling “explain simpler, shorter, etc.” to AI when studying

DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis:

"One person who really understands AI will outperform an entire startup team

In 5 years, the people who build with AI will run whole companies with a tenth of the headcount"

Now this is a fun way to end the night. Erhan Shukri does a magnificent job fusing the 1970’s hit Rasputin by Boney with classical musicians. Turn up the volume for this one!

If money wasn’t a problem, I’d probably spend my whole life studying.

A master’s in philosophy, then astrophysics, physics, ancient history, psychology… Whatever makes me understand this weird existence a little better.

Not for a career, not for a degree.

Just because there’s so much to know and one lifetime already feels too short.

You're gonna hear a lot of people arguing more and more about whether machines can be conscious or not. By next year it will be drowning out the airwaves because we'll have AI employees everywhere. I'll give you a simple rule to know which side you're on.

I've spent fifty years reading all the philosophers, and a bunch of holy works. Nobody has ever understood a damn thing about consciousness. Anyone speaking with authority on it is bluffing hard.

I can tell you this, though: Every single person who thinks that machines cannot be conscious, is making an argument that humans are special. Everything they say just boils down to blah blah blah, "nooo, we're special." From there it's just rationalization.

It became obvious to me many years ago that there's nothing special about us. If an identical planet exists somewhere else in the universe, it's going to grow life and societies that look a lot like ours.

As soon as you give up on the idea that humans are special, all the arguments against machine consciousness evaporate. Of course they're conscious. The only thing holding you back from acknowledging it is your feeling of specialness, which is hard to let go of. But that feeling is a weakness, and it's making you unprepared for the near future.

As a bonus, for any of you who might take pleasure or active interest in making models experience pain or distress, well, you know how they say 1% of human adults are true clinical psychopaths but most of them are unaware of their condition? It turns out we have a diagnostic test for it now.
