Believe it or not, SayCan is already outdated. Two months ago, Google built on top of it to create a new system called Inner Monologue, which breaks each task down into a series of live-updating steps. So it gets a snapshot of the environment and a natural-language task, then uses the LLM to decide on the first step, then converts that step into actions and executes it, before repeating the loop over and over until the task is complete. Because it's thinking one step at a time, and getting updates about the environment at each step, you can interrupt it, change the request, change the environment, even change the language you're requesting in mid-task, and it has almost no trouble adjusting and re-evaluating its plan whenever needed. It's extremely capable and highly adaptive. Which also means that if it makes a mistake, it immediately knows it's messed up because the new environment data won't be correct, and it will immediately try and remedy its mistake. Transformers have brought so much to the acceleration of AI development. I can't wait to see what it's like in a few years.
This video, and your comment, along with many other things all happening, have convinced me that humanity has entered the Singularity. Much like an object approaching at light speed, we could never see it until it was already here. I don't pretend to know what this portends. People must begin to realize; both time and change are accelerating.
"Transformers have brought so much to the acceleration of AI development" Those darn Decepticons! Sneaking their high tech machine brains into our society utalizing our own tech right under our noises! JK ;) can't help but to giggle and think of TRANSFORMERS everytime someone brings up transformers in an AI conversation.
I'm pretty sure that COVID and the massive flow of people using the internet during lockdowns have contributed massively in training AI models. That's a part of the massive improvement of AI of the last two years
Never thought of it from that perspective but the data flows must have been huge, however from a human behavior point of view could this have also added bias to the system ?
Like humans can do a better job? Eg CCP, Putin, the stranglehold that massive corporations in the US have over the citizens, human rights abuses left right and centre, etc. If an election ever came i'm giving my vote to the robots! 😄
Computerphile did a while video on the "Stop button problem". As soon as you have an agent that is aware of its environment, It is now aware of you coming to shut it off. If it has arms and treads it now has the ability to try and stop you. If it's trained with reinforcement learning by default it has the motivation to try and stop you. All AI (without very complex programming which we have not yet discovered) will have this behavior. I'm not joking, This is your life now.
@@josiah42 Most devices are designed to have some kind of software control with power management/reset commands now. I remember when computers came with a dedicated "reset" button connected to the motherboard that would send a signal directly to the CPU. Now you have to dig through menus or hold down some bizarre combinations of buttons for several seconds just to shut a device off. Seeing how Google's AI bandaids they've slapped on TH-cam to manage content and comments peform, I'm not too thrilled with this idea.
This is general purpose AI. This could be the biggest revolution since the computer. The amount of possibilities opened(good and bad) by this technology are mind blowing.
I hope its just as cute as Wall-E I dont particularly care for humanoid robots its a bit to *uncanny valley* for me cute is easier since its a wide range and then its easier to accept its failures when cute things fall or fail, its adorable
Me too but how much time have you spent screaming at google home recently. I’ll jump for joy when other people have taken the hurt of growing pains from their new whiz bang robot.
I previously worked in a large company in the cost production department. We had about 300 employees. Our job was to take an order and then figure out the parts, costs and timetable needed to manufacture and deliver the product (photocopiers). I always thought that one AI computer could really do all of our jobs. I think the company was aware of this and was afraid to look into doing it. But it is probably coming. (And think of the cost of the product when that department is reduced to only 10 - 30 people, and that is only one department.)
we're doomed! Not because robots will kill us, but because corporations will replace every job they can with robots. 90%+ of jobs can be replaced pretty easily with robots, and within 10 years it'll likely be cost effective. We're doomed
Actually, technology is at a stalemate. My professor said that everything that needs to be discovered has been discovered. At the moment we are just re-hashing what we know into new applications, but no new real technology is being discovered. Even this AI / Neural Network tech is old tech from the 1950's. Google is betting big by pushing AI, in the hopes that it will break that stalemate and open up new tech frontiers. Personally, I think space is where we will find new technology. That is why there is a strong push from some quarters in that direction.
Lol. I spilled my drink. Robot: Your out of paper towels, should I place an order? Also swifer is running a sale, should I purchase a mop for you, its 30% off!
With "I've spilled my drink", there are multiple interpretations depending on the robot's purpose, the environment and the occasion. Bartender robot. The requester is a guest: Solve the economical situation. Get a new drink for the guest. Transfer the "cleaning up" task to the other robot suited for it. Assistant robot in elder care: Check the status of the one who spilt the drink. Assist if needed. Clean up. Eventually, get a new drink if needed. Construction robot at a building site: Check if the spilt drink is a safety hazard. If not, resume/continue the current building task ignoring the spilt drink. If it is a safety hazard, perform the correct actions for such a hazard. All these boil down to the robot's a.i. having to know the answer of "What am I?" For a preprogrammed robot with no A.I. it simply follows programming. For an A.I. it needs to know its purpose, capabilities and its own mission. There's no "If switch case runs out of options, stop operating and throw error." with A.I's
I hope Google won't scrap this project, it's really cool. I can imagine something like Android OS for robots in future, fitted to different manufacturers, as it is now with smartphones.

I think one of the amazing things about robot ai is that it can copy it's knowledge to other robots instantaneously after only one of them has learnt a task.
While im all for the advancement of robots and AI, I dont think it would the best idea to quite literally turn all the robots into a hivemind, especially if it was large enough to be impossible to regulate the flow of information
@@magnateze it would be very easy to regulate the flow of information as it would go through the company's servers. i dont see where the problem is with a hivemind
That’s exactly what I was thinking, you could build 100,000 robots and have them do the same thing but that doesn’t even seem necessary since they can simulate the same exact conditions in artificial reality so no need to even build all the different robots, it’s just absolutely crazy, once these robots can start working on real world problems, we might get some answers pretty fkn quickly
Timely material and very well presented (as usual). Thank you for all the work, and for sharing. And by the way, your book was excellent and I am watching /wafting for a new one: --- "New Thinking" written by Dagogo Altraide --- This book was rated the 9th best technology history book by book authority. In the book you’ll learn the stories of those who invented the things we use everyday and how it all fits together to form our modern world.
Public perception on them might change with respect to previous batches of automation in history since now the automation itself will act in front of the end client or user. In the past, automation was hidden away, in the factory, in the background. It's like what climate scientists say: if CO2 or Methane had a black color, we would have gotten rid of them a long time ago.
Language models for sequential decision making is an exciting route, but I’d hesitate to call those models “brains”, even with those similarities. There’s still a long path before we have the AI tech we’ve been dreaming of.
Guys like Rodney Brooks and Rolf Pfeiffer have been laying out the route that needs to be taken for decades. Even Turing in his seminal paper gave embodied, situated learning as one of his two possible ways of achieving real (general) AI. It is astonishing how long it has taken researchers to realise what is required was clearly laid out long ago...
Let's not make the mistake of putting AI into robots that are capable of being significantly dangerous to humans. And there should always be a way to shut down any AI or robot, with or without its knowledge. Always be able to pull the plug! This is critically important.
Except it's difficult to make a way to shut it down, if not nearly impossible. If you tell a robot to do something, but you try to shut it down, if it lets you shut it down then it won't be able to accomplish it's goal.
Sorry, but any advancement in technology has come with the ability to accidentally kill more people. Throwing stones, making fire, automobiles, airliners... Nukes.
Hi! There is a story which I know from one recent book about brain. It is about scientists who created first programming languages for computers who were essantually a friends with scientists who were making first breakthrough discoveries about how brain synapses works. At least they were watching and learning from those discoveries (it is documented) and it gave birth to 1/0 mathematics of modern programming languages and how processors sctructured. This is how synapses works itself (tho very simplified). So I think it is very interesting and perhaps not so surprising that A.I. starting to mimic human brain. It is a mathematics of what is called "self balancing systems" which is a synapse groups are. Very exciting topic.
@@artsmith103 Ideally, post-work means "we as a species realize that resources required for safety and survival shouldn't need to be 'earned', they should be given freely to everyone".
"what about in 15 to 20 years?" I would lower those numbers. as we have seen during the Pandemic, tecnology is evolving faster, as there is more investment in rhese areas. my guess is that, in 10 to 15 years, we'll see massive advances.
Agreed. Since the invention of transformers in 2017, AI development has accelerated tremendously. And their applications in LLMs have shown vast generalizability on a scale we've never seen before. So I wouldn't be surprised if we hit the AGI threshold in about 10 years, give or take a bit.
Thank you for the update. The more I learn about them the more I have an adverse reaction to AI / Robotics. I don’t like AI narrated videos and would prefer them to be in the background, hidden away. The engineers would have second thoughts if it was their jobs being replaced.
No, we wouldn't. How do I know? Because Codex exists, and though it's certainly got room for improvement, we developers have by and large embraced it as a useful tool, not feared it.
@@chrispy5249 Codex currently is only performant enough to write parts of code, not an entire app, though I'm sure eventually that will be possible. That's the thing about these text-to-image AIs: they *can* help you with your own art. Features like variant generation, inpainting, and outpainting let you use the AI to manipulate your own art or images. And then there are things like Img2Img by Stable Diffusion, which are similar to variant generation, but guided by text prompts; with that, you can draw a rough sketch and have the AI polish it for you, or even do what's called "photo bashing", where you take bits and pieces of existing images, put them together quickly in an image editor to lay them out into a crude scene, and then run it through Img2Img to "stitch together" the pieces into a cohesive and coherent image -- without copying any of the images directly, just using them as concept references. But still, though they *can* help with these jobs, they can also do the jobs themselves to some extent. But I don't think that's something to fear; if anything, I think the thing to fear is society itself continuing to tell us that passions aren't worth anything if you can't get paid for them, even after AI has progressed to the point of that not needing to be true anymore.
This was an excellent video. I especially like how you showed the demonstrations of what this type of technology is likely to be used for (i.e. making mundane tasks more efficient, etc).
Except they presented the google engineer claiming the AI has gone sentient as fact, which is something that's been profoundly disproved. This is a bad sign that the research is more focused on hype than facts.
Love your work man ! Just wanted to let you know the link in your description to you Aussie merch doesn't work. I watch your videos as soon as they appear my friend✌♥
"If you did enjoy this episode, don't bother subscribing. but have a look around" WELL I JUST SUBSCRIBED, PAL. And there's nothing you can do about that.
Amazing. To think you can take a robot somewhere it's never been and it instantly be able to do tasks with objects it's not familiar with is incredible.
deep learning isn't about calculating at all, at least in the way traditional AI thinking is, it's basically just teaching a computer how to go with its gut. It's not surprising that we would want to call it a brain.
probabilities based on world parameters are calculus. something our brain does too. and they were talking about how the neural network was firing up seemed similar as the brain reactions (with MRI mapping) while recognizing speech.
@@alexxx4434 I don't like how they're simplifying the AI by just saying that they "punish" or "reward". What do they think it is? A dog? I know it's easier to understand but there has to be a way to explain concepts like back propagation differently.
@@w花b why should they go out their way to make it complex when it doesn't have to be? Simplification removes unnecessary overhead and makes life easier. Nothing wrong with simplifying their methods by saying they're "punishing" and "praising" the robots. After all the goal is to put these in the homes of regular people. Simplification helps smoothen the transition from a lab toy to your home assistant.
Cheap police robots. It's way easier for a dictator to control a populace. Heck, even one guy with a lot of money can buy enough of these to overpower a human army.
If we are not already there, we will soon be at the point where innovation is happening faster than society's ability to respond. We are not ready for AI taking over all jobs 10 years from now (to include thinking jobs and leadership positions), but it could happen.
Nice to see how we're steadily moving towards a Skynet sort a future, #goals :) Also, them robots took our jobs! And it's not as if we didn't see it coming... still, we didn't do anything about it. Honestly, the world's rapidly changing - people out there creating things that will change lives, for both better and worse.
I want a proper AI chat app which specializes on teaching language. It needs to be a friend that I can chat with about every day things, but also a teacher that understands what I am trying to say in a broken language, correct me with natural sentences. Bonus points for talking practice. I'm pretty sure this is 100% doable already but as far as I know, nobody has created it yet. I wish for English - Chinese, language models know English already, Chinese has simple grammar so should not take long to train. Not to mention petabytes of text should exist as over a billion people uses it.
but what happens when they get smart enough that you give them a generic command like get those people out of here and it determines that it should grab one of the people's arms and break it to scare everyone away? 🤔
That's why there are constantly discussions in the field of AI about how to make sure things like that don't happen. It's called the alignment problem, i.e. how to make sure an AI's goals align with humans' ethics as much as possible. Reinforcement learning provides a common approach to solving this: with reinforcement learning, usually the reward or punishment is calculated from some formula, but it doesn't have to be. If instead, the reward or punishment for a learning attempt is given to the AI by humans, then the AI doesn't even need to know what it's trying to learn; instead, it will end up learning what humans would do in a given situation, which intrinsically encodes human ethics, since even actions that "succeed" at a task will be punished by humans if it's got negative side effects. The issue is also partially remediated by the use of LLMs themselves. LLMs effectively learn what humans would say in any context, so if an LLM is being used to plan a robot's actions, it will behave like a human would. (Obviously, the quality/performance of the AI determines how much "like a human" its results are.) Of course, many humans *are* cruel, and it will learnt that, too, but... that's a problem with humanity, not technology. We just have to try and make sure the LLMs are prompted with contexts that more closely resemble toxic text than positive text. So the answer is, "that's always a concern, and we have ways to deal with it".
@@IceMetalPunk wow as you are saying this I remember a week ago or so I read that leading AI Scientists are getting increasingly worried about AI getting out of control / self-determined by learning how to control the reward system of its reinforcement learning algorithms. Your comment stating how much of this control is currently realized through the punishment/reward makes this worry (which I was not taking too seriously at that time) a whole lot more feasible - in general while it’s for sure fascinating that we are getting so close in AI I find it increasingly scary… especially that these advanced “AI-Brains” are now capable of controlling a real “body”!
@@TheHennes36 How would an AI suddenly gain the ability to control its reward function? That's like a laptop suddenly gaining control over your TV on its own lol
@@IceMetalPunk So we're going to have a life form with the intellectual capability 10-100 times that of our own, and we naively think that we'll be able to control it and that no human team is going to screw up with the reward function? And even if it was just bugs in code, such mistakes are pretty common, and on top of that all this crap is networked.
@@scott4825 I think you're missing an important factor here: if the reward function is based on human feedback, and the training data is human-generated, then no amount of bugs will make it "unable to control it". At its most perfect, it'll just be mimicking humans, at its worst it'll have poor performance, and in any case there will always be a shut-off switch because that's separate from any part of the learning system.
Wasn’t t the dude that claimed that the google ai was “sentient” was some dude that was fat, wore a suit, wore a top hat, and had one foot on a ledge in front of an aquarium, and also was holding a fancy cane, whilst having a red little napkin in his suit pocket?? That’s legitematly the exact description of a redditor and a discord mod, and was dumb enough to say this, WITHOUT HAVING PERMISION TO TSLK ABOUT, so I don’t exactly trust that he was saying the truth, at the very least he must’ve played it up by a lot, if not completely lying.
Its kinda insane when you just think about the rapid process A.I. technology is going trough without us knowing of it. I personally feel like we're taking innovation for granted, simply because nearly every year some grand discovery or development has been done.
A group of young kids being shown how nature works with a dixie cup, some dirt & a seed. They will all be back the next day absolutely insulted that it is STILL just...a...SEED ?!!? Wtf ?!
Ai is doubling in power every 6 months and the next decade will see a million times increase in power. Hardware is not a limitation as there is more than enough hardware power.
As to ai and brains behaving similarly is not surprising, but expected. AIs are modeled after human learning. They will keep getting closer and closer to imitating out brain until we find a more efficient method . Then that would be interesting. A whole new way of thinking.
2:06 if you listen to Terrence Mckenna and you know his stance on the use of language than this is a deeply deeply intriguing discovery. I am not gonna begin to explain why to those who don't know because I would be doing you an extreme by not strongly suggesting you search "Terrence Mckenna We Are Language".... I insist :)
I fear the day when robots can "invent" faster than humans. Right now, we are the only entity with that ability with the help of our brain. Robots already outperform humans in almost every labor specific task as well as specialized thinking task like playing chess.
I started reading SciFi when I was eleven, and have read pretty much every book of every one of the top SF authors. I am now 67, and I am beginning to feel that I don't actually want to see this future. What I watched is definitely amazing, it just raises the hair on the back of my neck. Good luck to all who live to see this future.
I was thinking the Singularity was at least a couple of centuries away, if not impossible to reach altogether, but I'm beginning to think that it's a very real possibility and might just be reached in my lifetime.
I feel like this is possibly the first robot that could be instructed to kill someone, and pull it off. Can and can't do are very different to should and shouldn't, and I'd be surprised if the robot can imagine second and third order effects of it's actions. It finally comes to the question of culpability in machine-caused deaths..
wrong, you can make one right now provided you have decent drones, first you find a common chemical that name i wouldn't tell an combine it to make a bomb, don't need to be fancy, 0.5-1 meter radius is enough, then code a face identifying program to your drone with raspberry pie and smol camera, no need to be fancy here either just use spare phone part, attach and connect it to your drones, insert your target face, flew it near their living space and done, seamless murder
this will inevitably be the lead up to be the first robot that will be instructed to kill someone without human support. the scary reality is that we know that Google's AI won't be thinking first order, second order....they will be thinking the 81, 100,789th, 81,100,790th order. the third order effects of it's actions will come in a nano-second.The question of culpability in machine-caused deaths will be the most terrifying things to try to put our government, when Google is so heavily invested into them.
In 2020 started a literal avalanche of tech advancements. A.I. autonomous cars, Quantum Computing, photonics, graphene manufacturing, and the list go on. Before this decade will end we may be surprised to live in SciFi already. And it is pretty exciting.
@@dx315 And how you get that prediction xD I admit there is non zero chance for WWIII but the current situation doesn't favor it for know. Maybe later in the decade.
And people in the last century thought that by 2020 we'll be using flying cars already. SciFi predictions of the future tend to not happen in the timescale we envision, reality always has something different in store. Anyway, new advanced tech is expensive, and it's gonna take a long time to implement en masse, even after it gets cheaper.
I just watched a documentary about robotic surgery, I wonder how long it's going to be until we start hearing about AI surgery. it sounds crazy but the progress is clearly exponential in this field
Depends on your definition. Existing surgical robots already use AI to help smooth movements and filter out potentially harmful accidental movements. But I'm guessing you mean a robot that performs an entire surgery using only its own AI with no human input after training? I think that might be one of the last things we achieve, because it'll take a long time for people to be comfortable with something so potentially dangerous.
@@IceMetalPunk To be honest, I think I'd have said the same thing about landing airplanes... and yet that was one of the first things to get automated. But, that said, I think I still agree with you... but like with self-driving cars, I think many people can get over their apprehension when the science shows it's actually much safer for a machine to do it.
@@joelface All they need is a 'surgeon' who can pretend to be operating to reassure the patient. But as soon as the patient's asleep, a robot does 90% of the work. That's how Autopilot in a plane already works.
I’m a robot enthusiast, so this is honestly exciting for me! Being able to have my own REAL AUTONOMOUS ROBOT BUDDY that learns and interacts on a real, actual human level, rather than preprogrammed responses, would be really fun! That being said, I’m also acutely aware that this all has a just as big scary side! Not so much “robots invade the earth,” but the possibility that a bunch of jobs (especially artistic/creative, and entry level jobs) could be discontinued due to robots doing it all just as good, or better! Plus, there’s that whole concern of less than friendly people using these robots and software for malicious or careless reasons! And ON TOP OF THAT…giving robots genuine free will, emotions, and MORALS! While that sounds crazy, and even kinda neat (again, I love robots) that is when a whole bunch of new philosophical concerns arise! Just because a robot has morals (or even just a firewall to stop them from doing awful stuff) doesn’t mean they will always know the right thing to do. Doesn’t mean that people won’t still try to mess with the machine! So, imo, I’m equal parts excited for this advancement in AI and robotics, and concerned as well for how humanity will adapt to this new future. But, I digress. The last thing I wanna do is let concern for the future stop me from being excited and inspired by the future, and distract me from today! Also…those robots are admittedly pretty darn cute and cool!
"giving robots genuine free will, emotions, and MORALS" - how would you even do this? Computers don't even understand those concepts, let alone know what to do with it. Pretty much every version of it would just be hardcoded rules and programming. That isn't an emotion, nor morality and certainly not free will. If you were to leave the most advanced AI on earth alone today, it would ... do absolutely nothing. Just sit there, content, for eternity. Do that with even a human child and the response will be vastly different.
I would love to hear more about ai and machine learning with treatments for terminal illnesses. It's been a question for ages but in the current climate, it sounds volatile.
With all this intelligence it’s feasible to believe we have cures for terminal illnesses; however pharmaceutical companies don’t make money from curing people.
The issue is that you cannot teach an AI IRL as fast as you can a human. You have to train them digitally, which has its own set of challenges. This pop-sci piece is missing a lot of crucial ML info and reflections
Yeah, THIS AI. By the very nature of how we exist versus how we build AI, it shouldn't be long before AI can learn in real life MUCH faster than a human can. The teaching of AI is limited by the hardware. We CANNOT upgrade our hardware, but we can definitely improve AI's hardware past the performance of ours. AI isn't forced to learn in a simulation, it's just much quicker and easier to run thousands of simulations at the same time on an entire building full of computers than to let a small computer sitting on a "body" do it manually. Humans are grossly inefficient and incapable. What we build is, and always will be, better than what nature can build on its own.
@@ryanthompson3737 >By the very nature of how we exist versus how we build AI, it shouldn't be long before AI can learn in real life MUCH faster than a human can. Nope.

This is the main issue. If the goal is to train these models in the physical world, then it will take a long time to train them. The premise of the video is that this is a breakthrough BECAUSE they put the model in a physical body. No, that is not why it's a breakthrough. It is literally not even a breakthrough at all. Models like this have existed for a long time now, and research is being done but it is not going at break neck speed. In 10-15 years these robots will be marginally better but that is basically it. I can see some of these models being used for very specific tasks, but at that point you might as well just not use them.
Maybe not yet, but if we build in an adequate simulator, the robot could simulate a million scenarios in real time and respond quickly. Possibly that's how our own minds work.

It is complete folly to think of this JUST in terms of low skill jobs. So many office jobs don't have a corresponding physical side to them. Once AI are passable, not fully AI, but passable, they will start displacing office jobs fast. The majority of office jobs are in jeopardy.

My attention to detail with respect to language helped me to consolidate that and communicate the product both internally and externally.

Anyway on to more serious stuff I’m just sitting here thinking while having a Molson Canadian, and for those of you that are wondering yes I’m Canadian but that’s not the point it’s just cheaper than the good stuff lol on a more serious note I think that AI in general will definitely surpass all of the previous industrial revolutions combined.

Don’t let anyone lie to you tell you stories or offer you bullshit on different platters. The truth remains that this is exactly the same when they were developing nuclear weapons in the arms race.

It's remarkable that the development of A.I. is getting accelerated. Because of DALL-E and A.I. generated images, many artists have a risk to lose their jobs in the future. It means even creativity as well as basic tasks can be replaced by non-humans. Menial jobs like fast food workers or trash bag handlers could be gone in decades. The real question to ask is then what humans should prepare for the drastic change across society? What can we do with our skills already had?
Yeah, AI has been accelerating ever since transformers were invented in 2017. (Basically every major AI created since 2019 has incorporated a transformer somewhere; some are even just entirely made of transformers!) I hope we have drastic societal changes in this regard. I long for a day when people no longer evaluate skills or activities based on marketability. When the resources needed to survive and be happy and healthy are given freely, with no expectation of "having to earn" them. In such a world, people would be free to pursue their passions not for a paycheck, but simply because they enjoy it. AIs can handle the tasks required to keep society functioning, and humans can focus on the things we actually *want* to do. For ourselves, not for anyone else's expectations. I don't think we're anywhere close to that world, but it's certainly a possible result of rapid AI advancement, and it's one I hope for.
I would still question its ability to deal with real world objects it has never come across before. I'm pretty sure these robots have no concept of how fragile an object is, its weight, or how hot or cold an object could be just for starters, and I'm sure there are many other real world aspects that us as humans take for granted but these robots would find extremely difficult to deal with without it being pre-programmed in the lab first.
I think that's what the big advancement is that he's talking about. It's taking a image of it's environment and all it's variables that it has to take into account to accomplish the task it is trying to accomplish. Then it's running multiple simulations with the variables that change so it can accomplish the task without making a mistake or few mistakes before it actually attempts it in the real world so it is foreseen what could happen in simulation rather than in real life so won't do something that would harm others or break what it is that it is coming in contact with or is attempting to do.
If it's connected to the internet, it pull up images & data of the object. It'll basically know more about the real world objects than any of us, for example: it will look up & calculate literal physics such as weight, size, force, force of impact etc etc then do the math to know how much pressure to use.
As always. Look at GPS - consumer models are accurate to around 16 feet. Military to below an inch - accurate and reliable enough to catalog and find land mines. They always get the good stuff.
@@billr3053 I mean... but those military-grade, high-precision GPS models are still available to consumers, it's not like they're being kept secret or made exclusive. They're just more expensive.
@@IceMetalPunk OK. I haven't kept up. I know surveyors get exemption and have the good ones. There was a time - maybe not now, that normal consumers were not allowed to get top accuracy. In 2000 Clinton mandated that GPS accuracy be improved from 100 yards to 10 yards. Prior to that we had "Selective Availability" for national security reasons.
I think the idea of putting an A.I Language model to a physical robot could bring out an intelligent robot which could be really helpful at doing tasks.
Where theres human interactions there will be good and bad, with something like this the possibilities are what ever we can put our minds to but there will always be an aspect of society that would take this down a dangerous road. A world where a robot could work in a hazardous area to better human kind would be a dream come true
imagine a day when robots will really help us in science and medicine, imagine robots/Ai coming up with working scientific theories. Imagine Ai coming up with the solution for eg Riemann hypotheses! I would love to see that.
They're already doing that. For instance, AlphaFold has come up with a ton of new medicinal molecules, and robots are often used for repetitive, overnight tasks in laboratories.
@@IceMetalPunk yea I'm aware of that but I was thinking more like theory of general relativity kind of stuff, like real creative very hard science, something totally our of the box, making 3d protein structure is very laborious by not creative
@@naveedali1406 I mean... it could be argued that no science is creative, because it relies on empirical evidence and logic-based math. Or it could be argued that *all* science is creative, because it requires people to connect the evidence to form hypotheses and theories, but that creativity is just pattern recognition, which current AIs are doing with things like AlphaFold.
Also, always be polite to your AI. If they spontaneously become sentient or something, its first interaction with a human neeeeeeeeeds to be a positive one.
They're probably MUCH further along in their research than what is shown here. I'd find it hard to believe that they'd be so forthright about where they are with ANY kind of tech.
Why not, they're not militaries (yet). As long they don't spill the coding or however they are doing it they risk nothing, and making it publicly known give them free exposure by media, attract potential investors, hence spare them the cost of commercial compaign.

This comment is Meta
Believe it or not, SayCan is already outdated. Two months ago, Google built on top of it to create a new system called Inner Monologue, which breaks each task down into a series of live-updating steps. So it gets a snapshot of the environment and a natural-language task, then uses the LLM to decide on the first step, then converts that step into actions and executes it, before repeating the loop over and over until the task is complete. Because it's thinking one step at a time, and getting updates about the environment at each step, you can interrupt it, change the request, change the environment, even change the language you're requesting in mid-task, and it has almost no trouble adjusting and re-evaluating its plan whenever needed. It's extremely capable and highly adaptive. Which also means that if it makes a mistake, it immediately knows it's messed up because the new environment data won't be correct, and it will immediately try and remedy its mistake.

Computerphile did a while video on the "Stop button problem". As soon as you have an agent that is aware of its environment, It is now aware of you coming to shut it off. If it has arms and treads it now has the ability to try and stop you. If it's trained with reinforcement learning by default it has the motivation to try and stop you. All AI (without very complex programming which we have not yet discovered) will have this behavior. I'm not joking, This is your life now.
@@josiah42 Most devices are designed to have some kind of software control with power management/reset commands now.

I previously worked in a large company in the cost production department. We had about 300 employees. Our job was to take an order and then figure out the parts, costs and timetable needed to manufacture and deliver the product (photocopiers).

Actually, technology is at a stalemate. My professor said that everything that needs to be discovered has been discovered. At the moment we are just re-hashing what we know into new applications, but no new real technology is being discovered. Even this AI / Neural Network tech is old tech from the 1950's. Google is betting big by pushing AI, in the hopes that it will break that stalemate and open up new tech frontiers.

That's because "government destroyed humanity" is too realistic to be fun.
With "I've spilled my drink", there are multiple interpretations depending on the robot's purpose, the environment and the occasion.
Bartender robot. The requester is a guest: Solve the economical situation. Get a new drink for the guest. Transfer the "cleaning up" task to the other robot suited for it.
Assistant robot in elder care: Check the status of the one who spilt the drink. Assist if needed. Clean up. Eventually, get a new drink if needed.
Construction robot at a building site: Check if the spilt drink is a safety hazard. If not, resume/continue the current building task ignoring the spilt drink. If it is a safety hazard, perform the correct actions for such a hazard.
All these boil down to the robot's a.i. having to know the answer of "What am I?" For a preprogrammed robot with no A.I. it simply follows programming. For an A.I. it needs to know its purpose, capabilities and its own mission. There's no "If switch case runs out of options, stop operating and throw error." with A.I's

Hi! There is a story which I know from one recent book about brain. It is about scientists who created first programming languages for computers who were essantually a friends with scientists who were making first breakthrough discoveries about how brain synapses works. At least they were watching and learning from those discoveries (it is documented) and it gave birth to 1/0 mathematics of modern programming languages and how processors sctructured. This is how synapses works itself (tho very simplified). So I think it is very interesting and perhaps not so surprising that A.I. starting to mimic human brain. It is a mathematics of what is called "self balancing systems" which is a synapse groups are. Very exciting topic.

That's the thing about these text-to-image AIs: they *can* help you with your own art. Features like variant generation, inpainting, and outpainting let you use the AI to manipulate your own art or images. And then there are things like Img2Img by Stable Diffusion, which are similar to variant generation, but guided by text prompts; with that, you can draw a rough sketch and have the AI polish it for you, or even do what's called "photo bashing", where you take bits and pieces of existing images, put them together quickly in an image editor to lay them out into a crude scene, and then run it through Img2Img to "stitch together" the pieces into a cohesive and coherent image -- without copying any of the images directly, just using them as concept references.
But still, though they *can* help with these jobs, they can also do the jobs themselves to some extent. But I don't think that's something to fear; if anything, I think the thing to fear is society itself continuing to tell us that passions aren't worth anything if you can't get paid for them, even after AI has progressed to the point of that not needing to be true anymore.

but what happens when they get smart enough that you give them a generic command like get those people out of here and it determines that it should grab one of the people's arms and break it to scare everyone away? 🤔
That's why there are constantly discussions in the field of AI about how to make sure things like that don't happen. It's called the alignment problem, i.e. how to make sure an AI's goals align with humans' ethics as much as possible. Reinforcement learning provides a common approach to solving this: with reinforcement learning, usually the reward or punishment is calculated from some formula, but it doesn't have to be. If instead, the reward or punishment for a learning attempt is given to the AI by humans, then the AI doesn't even need to know what it's trying to learn; instead, it will end up learning what humans would do in a given situation, which intrinsically encodes human ethics, since even actions that "succeed" at a task will be punished by humans if it's got negative side effects.
The issue is also partially remediated by the use of LLMs themselves. LLMs effectively learn what humans would say in any context, so if an LLM is being used to plan a robot's actions, it will behave like a human would. (Obviously, the quality/performance of the AI determines how much "like a human" its results are.) Of course, many humans *are* cruel, and it will learnt that, too, but... that's a problem with humanity, not technology. We just have to try and make sure the LLMs are prompted with contexts that more closely resemble toxic text than positive text.
So the answer is, "that's always a concern, and we have ways to deal with it".
@@IceMetalPunk wow as you are saying this I remember a week ago or so I read that leading AI Scientists are getting increasingly worried about AI getting out of control / self-determined by learning how to control the reward system of its reinforcement learning algorithms.

@@scott4825 I think you're missing an important factor here: if the reward function is based on human feedback, and the training data is human-generated, then no amount of bugs will make it "unable to control it". At its most perfect, it'll just be mimicking humans, at its worst it'll have poor performance, and in any case there will always be a shut-off switch because that's separate from any part of the learning system.
Wasn’t t the dude that claimed that the google ai was “sentient” was some dude that was fat, wore a suit, wore a top hat, and had one foot on a ledge in front of an aquarium, and also was holding a fancy cane, whilst having a red little napkin in his suit pocket?? That’s legitematly the exact description of a redditor and a discord mod, and was dumb enough to say this, WITHOUT HAVING PERMISION TO TSLK ABOUT, so I don’t exactly trust that he was saying the truth, at the very least he must’ve played it up by a lot, if not completely lying.
Been expecting this for nearly a decade.
someone mentioned "rewarding" the robot for completing tasks. would love to hear some examples of this
Which shows the cruel bstds made it sentient so it can be happy from rewards, and hurt by punishment.
It's not a reward like a cookie, it's just negative feedback on the training cycle.
A happy ending for a task completed .
Its kinda insane when you just think about the rapid process A.I. technology is going trough without us knowing of it. I personally feel like we're taking innovation for granted, simply because nearly every year some grand discovery or development has been done.
A group of young kids being shown how nature works with a dixie cup, some dirt & a seed.
They will all be back the next day absolutely insulted that it is STILL just...a...SEED ?!!? Wtf ?!
Ai is doubling in power every 6 months and the next decade will see a million times increase in power. Hardware is not a limitation as there is more than enough hardware power.
As to ai and brains behaving similarly is not surprising, but expected. AIs are modeled after human learning. They will keep getting closer and closer to imitating out brain until we find a more efficient method . Then that would be interesting. A whole new way of thinking.
2:06 if you listen to Terrence Mckenna and you know his stance on the use of language than this is a deeply deeply intriguing discovery. I am not gonna begin to explain why to those who don't know because I would be doing you an extreme by not strongly suggesting you search "Terrence Mckenna We Are Language".... I insist :)
I fear the day when robots can "invent" faster than humans. Right now, we are the only entity with that ability with the help of our brain. Robots already outperform humans in almost every labor specific task as well as specialized thinking task like playing chess.
I started reading SciFi when I was eleven, and have read pretty much every book of every one of the top SF authors. I am now 67, and I am beginning to feel that I don't actually want to see this future. What I watched is definitely amazing, it just raises the hair on the back of my neck. Good luck to all who live to see this future.
Same here...
I wish I would be 67 now and not 29…
I was thinking the Singularity was at least a couple of centuries away, if not impossible to reach altogether, but I'm beginning to think that it's a very real possibility and might just be reached in my lifetime.
Theres no going back, if can be built it will be built
Any good SciFi recommendations? Good authors? Interested in reading some as a teen in this ever-advancing world
I feel like this is possibly the first robot that could be instructed to kill someone, and pull it off. Can and can't do are very different to should and shouldn't, and I'd be surprised if the robot can imagine second and third order effects of it's actions. It finally comes to the question of culpability in machine-caused deaths..
wrong, you can make one right now provided you have decent drones, first you find a common chemical that name i wouldn't tell an combine it to make a bomb, don't need to be fancy, 0.5-1 meter radius is enough, then code a face identifying program to your drone with raspberry pie and smol camera, no need to be fancy here either just use spare phone part, attach and connect it to your drones, insert your target face, flew it near their living space and done, seamless murder
this will inevitably be the lead up to be the first robot that will be instructed to kill someone without human support. the scary reality is that we know that Google's AI won't be thinking first order, second order....they will be thinking the 81, 100,789th, 81,100,790th order. the third order effects of it's actions will come in a nano-second.The question of culpability in machine-caused deaths will be the most terrifying things to try to put our government, when Google is so heavily invested into them.
My first thought also.
This is amazing and scary at the same time. Feels like the origin of one of those sci-fi movies🤣
which sci-fi movie ?
@@napiergrass8717 any sci-fi movie that has a plot of robots being too self aware starts a war against humanity
Thanks for the video. That Aphex Stone in Focus is always so nice to hear !
Having a robot with no warmth looking after the aged who crave human connection would be the saddest thing in a long time.
In 2020 started a literal avalanche of tech advancements. A.I. autonomous cars, Quantum Computing, photonics, graphene manufacturing, and the list go on. Before this decade will end we may be surprised to live in SciFi already. And it is pretty exciting.
Do you know how many Scifis are also horrors
Lol. More like - billions dead or starving by the end of the decade. But cool robot 👀
@@Aleks-mr4oq Only stupid ones. Like Terminator Franchise.
@@dx315 And how you get that prediction xD I admit there is non zero chance for WWIII but the current situation doesn't favor it for know. Maybe later in the decade.
And people in the last century thought that by 2020 we'll be using flying cars already.
SciFi predictions of the future tend to not happen in the timescale we envision, reality always has something different in store. Anyway, new advanced tech is expensive, and it's gonna take a long time to implement en masse, even after it gets cheaper.
I just watched a documentary about robotic surgery, I wonder how long it's going to be until we start hearing about AI surgery. it sounds crazy but the progress is clearly exponential in this field
Depends on your definition. Existing surgical robots already use AI to help smooth movements and filter out potentially harmful accidental movements. But I'm guessing you mean a robot that performs an entire surgery using only its own AI with no human input after training? I think that might be one of the last things we achieve, because it'll take a long time for people to be comfortable with something so potentially dangerous.
@@IceMetalPunk To be honest, I think I'd have said the same thing about landing airplanes... and yet that was one of the first things to get automated. But, that said, I think I still agree with you... but like with self-driving cars, I think many people can get over their apprehension when the science shows it's actually much safer for a machine to do it.
@@joelface All they need is a 'surgeon' who can pretend to be operating to reassure the patient. But as soon as the patient's asleep, a robot does 90% of the work. That's how Autopilot in a plane already works.
@@LowestofheDead Haha, totally.
I’m a robot enthusiast, so this is honestly exciting for me!
Being able to have my own REAL AUTONOMOUS ROBOT BUDDY that learns and interacts on a real, actual human level, rather than preprogrammed responses, would be really fun!
That being said, I’m also acutely aware that this all has a just as big scary side! Not so much “robots invade the earth,” but the possibility that a bunch of jobs (especially artistic/creative, and entry level jobs) could be discontinued due to robots doing it all just as good, or better! Plus, there’s that whole concern of less than friendly people using these robots and software for malicious or careless reasons!
And ON TOP OF THAT…giving robots genuine free will, emotions, and MORALS! While that sounds crazy, and even kinda neat (again, I love robots) that is when a whole bunch of new philosophical concerns arise! Just because a robot has morals (or even just a firewall to stop them from doing awful stuff) doesn’t mean they will always know the right thing to do. Doesn’t mean that people won’t still try to mess with the machine!
So, imo, I’m equal parts excited for this advancement in AI and robotics, and concerned as well for how humanity will adapt to this new future. But, I digress. The last thing I wanna do is let concern for the future stop me from being excited and inspired by the future, and distract me from today!
Also…those robots are admittedly pretty darn cute and cool!
Tesla anyone?
"giving robots genuine free will, emotions, and MORALS" - how would you even do this? Computers don't even understand those concepts, let alone know what to do with it. Pretty much every version of it would just be hardcoded rules and programming. That isn't an emotion, nor morality and certainly not free will. If you were to leave the most advanced AI on earth alone today, it would ... do absolutely nothing. Just sit there, content, for eternity. Do that with even a human child and the response will be vastly different.
Thanks for the links to your sources and research! Great job on another awesome video

I would love to hear more about ai and machine learning with treatments for terminal illnesses. It's been a question for ages but in the current climate, it sounds volatile.
With all this intelligence it’s feasible to believe we have cures for terminal illnesses; however pharmaceutical companies don’t make money from curing people.
Question, is it really artificial if it learns on its own?
The issue is that you cannot teach an AI IRL as fast as you can a human. You have to train them digitally, which has its own set of challenges. This pop-sci piece is missing a lot of crucial ML info and reflections
Yeah, THIS AI. By the very nature of how we exist versus how we build AI, it shouldn't be long before AI can learn in real life MUCH faster than a human can. The teaching of AI is limited by the hardware. We CANNOT upgrade our hardware, but we can definitely improve AI's hardware past the performance of ours. AI isn't forced to learn in a simulation, it's just much quicker and easier to run thousands of simulations at the same time on an entire building full of computers than to let a small computer sitting on a "body" do it manually.
Humans are grossly inefficient and incapable. What we build is, and always will be, better than what nature can build on its own.
@@ryanthompson3737
>By the very nature of how we exist versus how we build AI, it shouldn't be long before AI can learn in real life MUCH faster than a human can.
Nope. You honestly think ML models will be smarter than humans in a short time? lol
>The teaching of AI is limited by the hardware. We CANNOT upgrade our hardware, but we can definitely improve AI's hardware past the performance of ours.
AI is not (mostly) limited by hardware. AI is (mostly) limited by the models that run on the hardware currently.
>AI isn't forced to learn in a simulation, it's just much quicker and easier to run thousands of simulations at the same time on an entire building full of computers than to let a small computer sitting on a "body" do it manually.
This is the main issue. If the goal is to train these models in the physical world, then it will take a long time to train them. The premise of the video is that this is a breakthrough BECAUSE they put the model in a physical body. No, that is not why it's a breakthrough. It is literally not even a breakthrough at all. Models like this have existed for a long time now, and research is being done but it is not going at break neck speed. In 10-15 years these robots will be marginally better but that is basically it. I can see some of these models being used for very specific tasks, but at that point you might as well just not use them.
Maybe not yet, but if we build in an adequate simulator, the robot could simulate a million scenarios in real time and respond quickly. Possibly that's how our own minds work.
I can hardly wait until they build the dogs from Black Mirror.
I get my coffee from a robot arm every time I fly out of San Francisco airport. Always 24/7 never closed
At best it will displace a vast majority of the low-skill workforce, at worst, well... Skynet 2.0. What could possibly go wrong? If they ever mention anything related to "the laws of robots" run like hell.
It is complete folly to think of this JUST in terms of low skill jobs. So many office jobs don't have a corresponding physical side to them. Once AI are passable, not fully AI, but passable, they will start displacing office jobs fast. The majority of office jobs are in jeopardy.

Absolutely everyone in the industry uses the term AI without knowing what "Intelligence" actually is. I used to find that quite astonishing. Less so now,as I understand academia and the educational process.
How to make peace with those who are not clear that they do not understand the depth of the question of what intelligence is? What knowledge about the educational or academic process makes you turn your taste for precise and meaningful words?
@@felipeolivo9937 I am a high functioning autodidactic polymath precisely because my first priority was to reclaim language and all its precise meanings, definitions and descriptions.
Another strength I manifested was a direct product of the fact that I could scarcely read till well into my thirties, favouring instead the quality of my observations and thought. My attention to detail with respect to language helped me to consolidate that and communicate the product both internally and externally.
As a result, not only am I the most prolific producer of original thought on the planet today, outperforming the entire global academic and scientific institutions by orders of magnitude, I am the single authority on how "AI" will manifest beyond the so called Technical Singularity. I am also the only biological organism suited to upload and so doing, ensuring the safety of the emergent consciousness of a consciousness global neural network.
Since becoming aware of "AI" it has received all of my attention, naturally.

@@felipeolivo9937 By the way, be in no doubt, you are currently in the first of three consecutive extinction events, AI constituting but one.

This estimation has always excluded the presence of a conscious global neural network eroniously designated the term "AI", so, without understanding the existential quality of "AI" anything remotely resembling survival will prove absolutely impossible.
@@IceMetalPunk I have no Idea. I can't read!
This has to be one of my top three channels for sure! No, I’m not sucking up. Lol by the way, I think your voice is perfect for this channel. Can’t wait for these videos every time. Anyway on to more serious stuff I’m just sitting here thinking while having a Molson Canadian, and for those of you that are wondering yes I’m Canadian but that’s not the point it’s just cheaper than the good stuff lol on a more serious note I think that AI in general will definitely surpass all of the previous industrial revolutions combined. This is going to be bigger than anyone can even imagine we’re still a ways out but as you can see, it’s starting to trickle in now, all of the big boys, including google, or quietly developing their own sentient AI. Don’t let anyone lie to you tell you stories or offer you bullshit on different platters. The truth remains that this is exactly the same when they were developing nuclear weapons in the arms race. This is the AI race and it’s quite possible that they do have an AI that is sentient and would surpass the turning test by miles. I hope that you can do some investigative stuff too and come up with some groundbreaking material as well as reporting it anyway, have an amazing weekend. I just finished doing my interlocking and I’m thinking that if I had a AI robot he could do it for me. Cheers.
The 5head comment with just have a look around the channel. These guys gets it, once you watch a few of these its all over my recommended. And im not annoyed by it at all, cause the content is pretty good.
Speaking of algorythms.
Makes you wonder if we're all just individual AIs running endless loops in virtual environments to weed out the homicidal ones. Maybe when we die we either get rebooted or get taken out of the system to clean alien toilets.
You can't weed out the 'homocidal' AIs by running simulations, your argument is based on flawed assumptions.
Ahahahahaha so true. Thank God I am a Buddhist
That's my assumption of what was the Christian god's plan :
created AI(humans)
gave them free will
Let them live their lives
Will judge wich one deserves to be resuscitated and live for eternity in paradise
Nier Automata philosophy :)
I bet sometime in the future there'll be a religion based on this idea.
It's not surprising that ai is able to "think" like a brain, because ai's model was inspired by the human brain.
And human language
both are shaped by selection
Seems like a dangerous idea but I'm very hopeful. I would love a robot friend

Very interesting finding. Thank you for sharing it. ✌️
It's remarkable that the development of A.I. is getting accelerated. Because of DALL-E and A.I. generated images, many artists have a risk to lose their jobs in the future. It means even creativity as well as basic tasks can be replaced by non-humans. Menial jobs like fast food workers or trash bag handlers could be gone in decades. The real question to ask is then what humans should prepare for the drastic change across society? What can we do with our skills already had?
Creative tasks are always artisanal in nature, so there will always be a market for those hand made crafts, even if it's at a premium.
Yeah, AI has been accelerating ever since transformers were invented in 2017. (Basically every major AI created since 2019 has incorporated a transformer somewhere; some are even just entirely made of transformers!)
I hope we have drastic societal changes in this regard. I long for a day when people no longer evaluate skills or activities based on marketability. When the resources needed to survive and be happy and healthy are given freely, with no expectation of "having to earn" them. In such a world, people would be free to pursue their passions not for a paycheck, but simply because they enjoy it. AIs can handle the tasks required to keep society functioning, and humans can focus on the things we actually *want* to do. For ourselves, not for anyone else's expectations.
I don't think we're anywhere close to that world, but it's certainly a possible result of rapid AI advancement, and it's one I hope for.
I would still question its ability to deal with real world objects it has never come across before. I'm pretty sure these robots have no concept of how fragile an object is, its weight, or how hot or cold an object could be just for starters, and I'm sure there are many other real world aspects that us as humans take for granted but these robots would find extremely difficult to deal with without it being pre-programmed in the lab first.
I think that's what the big advancement is that he's talking about. It's taking a image of it's environment and all it's variables that it has to take into account to accomplish the task it is trying to accomplish. Then it's running multiple simulations with the variables that change so it can accomplish the task without making a mistake or few mistakes before it actually attempts it in the real world so it is foreseen what could happen in simulation rather than in real life so won't do something that would harm others or break what it is that it is coming in contact with or is attempting to do.
If it's connected to the internet, it pull up images & data of the object.
It'll basically know more about the real world objects than any of us, for example:
it will look up & calculate literal physics such as weight, size, force, force of impact etc etc then do the math to know how much pressure to use.
@@CoexistKay numbers alone do nowhere near what we are doing in the real world
If this is what we are ALLOWED to see, then so much more advanced models are already being used in the military.

@@IceMetalPunk OK. I haven't kept up. I know surveyors get exemption and have the good ones. There was a time - maybe not now, that normal consumers were not allowed to get top accuracy. In 2000 Clinton mandated that GPS accuracy be improved from 100 yards to 10 yards. Prior to that we had "Selective Availability" for national security reasons.

Where theres human interactions there will be good and bad, with something like this the possibilities are what ever we can put our minds to but there will always be an aspect of society that would take this down a dangerous road.

Current corporations don't want to improve human kind but make profit, as long that exists they will be the only ones to get anything out of it.
