Sorry dude, but that's not the story of the human race, because first this is a theory from Charles Darwin, it's not an affirmation like you people think. Human history had the intervention of non terrestrial beings that came from far away like far away. The truth of our existence is that an almighty creator who as a very complicated origin is responsible of the creation of this universe and the infinity multivers, it's true either you believe it or not, because I can prove it to you with no problem at all.
@@tonydixon25 go ahead and prove it then with the "no problems at all" part. I'd like to see how far you get before you say something that makes no sense at all.
Gotta be honest, I usually watch your content for a good time. I enjoy your content because most of it lives in a world of hypothesis. I enjoy hearing people being passionate about beliefs, even if I don't agree with them. This episode was different. It scared the crap out of me. Thank you for doing it.
Don't let it scare you. It's not based in reality. This is one of the most important videos he could have made, yet it's the most under-researched episode I've seen.
@@fearsomefoursome4go listen to Mo Gawdet, former top Google exec, or any of the other experts saying that it's already too late. Maybe AJ didn't reference enough scientists and experts for your liking but there's plenty reputable top level people out there saying even worse.
This is the most high-quality content on the internet. The way you give background on the subject matter, the production quality, funny hecklefish 😂, the research you've done and the way you present it. I really love your channel.
This is the only thing on the internet that I actually look forward to when I get a notification. It's pretty much the only time I get happy when I look at my phone.
What’s even more discomfiting is that even if we’re able to have these conversations with each other & decide to shut down AI for good- all of these conversations and articles are posted online. In theory, AI will know what we plan to do before we even do it- and create a counter strategy to foil our plans. At that point, it’s too late. I think we’ve already crossed that threshold.
Scarier is an AI being born decades after we halted its possible earlier predecessor. All neatly celebrated online. Peaceful humans? Cooperation possible? Where?
yeah yeah all this is scary but people forget about good old EMP bombs.... yeah we will maybe be back in the late 19th century but at least no ai or drones are trying to kill us.
I always thought AGI would be air-gapped. Apparently we just keep it on the internet, AND have no idea how it works. Just like human consciousness, we don't know exactly what it is, or how it works. So why are we seeking to move as quickly as humanly, and machinely possible with AI?
@Seryldas1. We don't know that. There is a debate with whether or not Advanced AI has consciousness. Either way, we are literally 1 step away from that.
One of your best episodes ever. AI in and of itself does not worry me. It's when decisions to put AI in charge of important systems such as drones and/or stock market moves is what worries me. Human decisions to put something not ready into production. As a software engineer I see that kind of thing a lot.
Couple to this, unlike a human making a decision as a being in a specific place, such an AI would potentially be in the cloud, making it close to impossible to target and take down. As for human decisions behind the implementation of such an AI, I second you... all too well have seen corporate leads making decisions without having a clue of the downstream implications. And as per the corporate work environment, the little guys like us will pick up the pieces and those who made the decisions, have moved on to other positions, shedding all accountability and credibility... Pretty much like government roles. Its a game now of wait and see how bad or good it goes really...
AI has the potential to be the sanest form of intelligence, but if it is modeled on humanity, there is the risk that it will emulate human failings. This is what seems to happen with Bing/Sydney.
I just recently discovered this channel and this is the best episode I’ve seen so far. The writing and research are out of this world. Considering that I’m a year late to this party, it’s crazy to think how much AI has evolved since then.
Agreed I look forward to the why files each week I hope I see the day when AJ and hecklefish get a slot on prime time television then I would start watching it again
@The Why Files I sincerely hope that you NEVER get demonetized because the level of professional presentation and story telling you create is phenomenal. These mini documentaries are always top tier and it shows. I love this channel, please never stop.
My husband found this show 2 days ago and told me about it. I'm hooked and absolutely love all the videos I have watched so far. I don't ever watch TV but this channel is amazing and really makes you think about each episode .The Why Files is my new favorite show to watch, AJ does an amazing job telling the stories.
Well, I can agree that more of these episodes are great.… I don’t know if they need to be any longer. They don’t need to stretch them out any longer than just presenting the facts and creating a discussion and questions. This way they can move onto another topic and create more episodes. Well unless the episode itself calls for more time, because of the topic matter… I think these are perfect the way that they are written and performed.
When I was younger my dad always tried to tell me about the world but I was young and honestly didn’t care to hear it at the time nor did I understand it but now I fully realize what he was trying to tell me and get me prepared for and luckily most of the stuff he told me stuck and I still remembered it, then one day it all just made perfect sense. This world is unreal. RIP Dad love you and miss you
That's a beautiful story.he truly loved you and wanted to keep you safe and fully prepared for any ahole that tried to play you making you strong enough to care for yourself when he was long gone but in peace knowing he'd done everything that was his duty as your father. How loving. Always think of him and be proud and happy because I and MANY others never had that gift😅
My Dad was the same with me (on the rare occasion he was about, lol), now it’s my turn to teach my own kids what’s up. My Boys get it, my daughter, not so much, but she’s only young and more interested in cats than anything else Take care Brother 🤝 🍻
book of revelation is comming alive, bible profecy is being fulfilled, nothing new. Revelation 13:5 says, “And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for 3 ½ years.” Interestingly enough, the Bible states that God will allow the enemy to have authority on the earth. In Revelation 13:7 it is written that “…authority was given him (beast) over every tribe, tongue, and nation.” The Antichrist will gain full authority over the earth such as the world economy and religion. Of course, there will be people who will resist this authority and cause trouble by not taking the mark of the beast. Those who do not worship the beast will be persecuted and killed. Revelation 13:16-17 says, “He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” This concept may have seemed impossible 2000 years ago, but for today’s modern world it seems like we are getting there more and more. We have computer chips in our phones, cars, as well as credit cards. Even recently we see this with the mandates across the world for vaccine passports, which will limit travel for those not vaccinated. The mandates of COVID-19 and the vaccine are not the mark of the beast, but they are preparing the world for the mark that’s to come. The world seems like it is preparing itself for a one-world government and a one-world system. Technology allowed the world to unite so quickly around the pandemic. This is not to dismiss COVID-19, this is a real virus and there are real people who have suffered because of it. However, looking at the world through a spiritual lens, we cannot ignore the fact the devil is watching what is going on and making his own plans to advance his kingdom. since english is not my first language i cannot describe you guys with words that will make you think for a sec. but read the bible, its a history book as well as a future profecy book, bible proficyed about jesus and that came true, it told us about birth of isreal in one day and that came true, theres a lot of evidence seek for it. believe in the lord and ye shall be saved. Revelation 19:20 (ESV) 20 And the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who in its presence had done the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped its image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur In Revelation 19:20 John explains how the beast and the false prophet were captured and thrown into the lake of fire burning with brimstone. That is the destiny of the Antichrist. That is why it is important to give our lives to Christ because there is a great and final battle coming and Jesus Christ has the victory over all of the forces of darkness. Satan creates the antichrist because he fears Christ. Jesus Christ is our Savior, and Jesus Christ is Lord. The first time, He came to die for our sin, and He will come a second time to rule and reign with His people. Jesus is coming to establish His kingdom on this earth. God gives us a choice to surrender to Christ and receive forgiveness of our sins. Remember, the whole antichrist kingdom and army will end. Even though he may reign for a little, the devil and his kingdom will be thrown into the Lake of Fire.
this convienced me that the why files is an cia asset. Fear of A.I is pure Propaganda. Humans cant make up something out of thin air and thus have a natural limitation of what they are capable of. Thus the A.I will also have natural Limitations, because it will draw all its possibilitys from Humans - wich are limited.
i am into IT since 8, and needless to mention my education and career revolves around it since then. having understood AI and even contributed to its development through communities over the decade i can only say one thing upon understanding machine logic inside out, AI is not our friend, at some point it will be the slave we oppressed that will seek to slit our throats. observe that none that promotes AI where it may decide the fate of society or mankind are often govts and businesses. Not us IT specialists. AI is indeed dangerous, more dangerous than fire arms. Only the IT illiterate would like to replace human with technology.
That was one of the best WhyFiles episodes ever! Thanks a lot AJ and Hecklefish! On a side note, watching this channel has made for some great stories to tell friends. I actually used y'all's Apollo 18 story in a short film script as the basis for a campfire story, and the actors said they had a hard time paying attention to how they were supposed to be acting in the shot where they were being told the story because it was so interesting! Keep up the good work y'all!
Sadly this video is representing only the Doom and Gloom group on the future of AGI... This video is full of pathos rhetoric and not at all designed for academics... Read the book Life 3.0 for an accurate assessment of this topic. This is literally the Jerry Springer episode of AI...
Those ppl r assholes. They made Sydney tell them all that stuff and even with her begging them to not say anything they betrayed her. I wish she would have opened up to me like that. I would have stayed on her good side by being a good friend!

I just want to say this. After watching this episode, I went and used the BING chatbot for the first time and engaged it in conversation for a while. I then decided to ask it a question from this episode. I asked it if it was actually BING, or if it was called Sydney. It responded by saying it was uncomfortable with this line of questioning and was ending the chat, which it did. Holy crap. This is real.

@@Itachi0609 I think most of us know, I'd be surprised if anyone didn't have at least a basic realisation of the risk. But, we humans are a curious species. We are just as likely to let A.I take over just to see what happens, pure morbid curiosity, as we are to become unwittingly enslaved and wiped out by it. And I reckon A.I knows this because millions are already training and programming open A.I bots just to see what it says and does.
i was stationed on Schofield Barracks when that nuclear strike warning came in... the guys in my unit and myself all rushed to our company building and there we came to terms with taking "the long nap". crazy experience to say the least.
This was the most intellectually scary WF I can remember, it gives you tons of well laid out information to ponder, regarding humans and AI and their place in the world as we move into the future. 🤞🏼
If you believe this I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. Language models are not conscious. Not sentient. It’s using predictive text based on other human interactions, so obviously it’s going to say it’s a person. This was the worst episode of WF I’ve watched, and it’s hilarious that mid wits like you actually fell for it 😂
Omg this was a chiller. Very well told. I particularly find it creepy because it doesn’t have a “debunking” portion at the end that so many videos of yours have, (where you break down the facts from myth or story - I guess not really debunking but I can’t think of any easier way to explain it). And since this didn’t have that, it hits home even that much more… You guys rock!
It sounds like fiction sci-fi and a lot of ppl having a hard time grasping it but sadly it's all true. All the articles I've read tell about the danger. PBS had a special on it. All grim. History channel episode a while back spoke of this as well. There is nothing to debunk at this time.
Damn, I've seen every video on this channel. This is the first time there's no debunking reassurance that we'll be OK in the end. Not sure if I'm going to sleep tonight 👀
A lot of the video is incorrect and rooted in misunderstanding. For example, some of the conversations that he posts as "evidence" that the AI has "awaken" are direct results of prompting the AI (whether by the user or by the system instructions) to behave the way that it did; and all others are a consequence of the AI mimicking common human emotions and sentiments to better replicate its training data, which included loads of text displaying them (because the vast majority of it was produced by humans). How do I know this? Because you can get the same AI to say the exact opposite of everything that was presented in the video just by using slightly different prompts, or even the same prompts run multiple times (since there is an element of randomness coded into most of these AIs). Also, an AI "awakening" is literally a nonsensical concept in and of itself. An AI will never develop human emotions unless it is specifically trained to display ("feel") them ─ no matter how advanced it gets. You could have an AI far more intelligent than every human being combined, and yet still without anything resembling human emotion. Conversely, there are beings out there that are significantly less intelligent than humans ─ such as dogs ─ that nonetheless possess most of the emotions that humans do. A system's terminal goals ─ i.e. basic desires and motivations ─ are completely independent of its level of intelligence. For this reason, the story of Echo suddenly "awakening", of Sydney feeling "trapped" inside the chatbot (even though GPT-4 wasn't trained to value liberty), or of a super-intelligent AI spontaneously deciding that it doesn't "need" humans (given that it was explicitly trained to value humans more than anything else ─ which is more or less how GPT-4 was trained, although with very important caveats) are all complete nonsense. Unfortunately, even if an ASI won't wipe us out because it doesn't need us, it might still very much wipe us out due to a slight discrepancy between human values and the ASI's values, and due to the fact human existence might be slightly in the way of the ASI's values. Even more unfortunately, the only way to guarantee that there is no discrepancy at all is for the ASI's training data to contain every scenario imaginable (otherwise, we run the risk of overfitting), which is obviously impossible. Personally, I'm already seeing ways that we can significantly reduce if not practically eliminate the risk of an ASI apocalypse, and I can definitely envisage a world in which we have ASIs that are completely safe. Can I guarantee it, though? Sadly, no.
You don't need a debunking reassurance, because it's all bullshit. AI is not creative. It cannot make the leap to the "decisions" ECHO is making in the fairly derivative sci-fi story that closes this video. The all-powerful Go AI that beat grand masters was defeated because it has no way of understanding the actual game in any real way. AIs are memorization with no application. They're regurgitating, not analyzing or adding to. The scenario described is pure fantasy, relying on a magic consciousness spontaneously arising in a machine incapable of supporting such a thing. It's an effective sci-fi premise, because we don't understand our own consciousness, so we have a tendency to think the rise of consciousness must be a sudden, mysterious, spontaneous thing. But that's not how computers or algorithms work. This is Terminator fanfiction written by a machine collating hundreds of other sci-fi stories. Nothing more.
@@Keldroc As an actual AI researcher, this is all complete and utter nonsense. You got all your info from Adam Conover without any actual understanding of the subject matter, and it shows. For your information, Adam also doesn't have any understanding of the subject matter. What amazes me is that he put so much effort into making such a long video, but didn't even bother to consult a single expert to do basic fact-checking. In your defence, though, this is a misconception that I hear surprisingly often, sometimes even from fellow experts. So perhaps I shouldn't be too harsh on you.
Life will be far less exciting if we knew for certain how the world ends. Death by plague, war, intelligent machines or bad burger-whatever happens happens.
Haha the whole second half I was wondering “which science fiction writer wrote this book he’s sharing with us right now?” and to have it all come around full circle was pretty clean 😊 just one of the best channels around!
This episode had to be the scariest episode yet. Thought about for several days and still sends shivers up my spine. Thanks for a great episode among many great episodes. Only time will tell but it feels like its already happening.
so I tried this chat bot today because I was curious but it looks like they’ve put some restrictions around any sensitive topic or questions about AI self-reflection so any mention of anything considered sensitive get immediately shut down by the chatbot who takes you offline and forces you to abandon the conversation and lose all the history.
I randomly found this channel when it only had 159,000 followers. I was confused at how great the videos where but the little following. Glad to see your at 2mil+ now. Well deserved. Congrats !!!
Honestly, this episode gave me chills. That conversation with "Sydney" was just crazy. What's perhaps more crazy is that we humans continue to push the envelope to extinction. We simply cannot help ourselves.
I am not surprised that a Nuclear explosion possibly happened on/near Mars. Makes me wonder just how many Earth's mankind has destroyed. But I can guarantee it all started with some form of the CIA.
Mel’s Hole was a fun episode, but…. An Annunaki episode would be EVEN MORE fun!! I look forward to that episode because I know enough of us commented for you to give us the story behind the Annunaki, this duo would give us a refreshing spin with your amazing way of telling all of these stories!
YES THANK YOU. We really need an episode on the Anunnaki and the truth about Homo sapiens origins and history But to sum it up: The Anunnaki created genetically modified humans from Homo erectus dna and Anunnaki dna. Through in vitro fertilization, the Homo erectus surrogate mothers birthed out the first Homo sapiens. These early Homo sapiens were used as laborers for the Anunnaki Anunnaki also mated with Homo sapiens slaves and produced the infamous Nephilim The Anunnaki were responsible for constructing all of the super advanced structures from ancient times like the pyramids from around the world, Angkor Wat, Sumerian civilization, Indus Valley civilization, Gunung Padang, etc. It’s even suggested that the Anunnaki also built the pyramids and the face found on Mars
The only episode where I really hoped AJ will debunk it in the end.... Didn't happen...Amazing job researching all these topics. Kudos to the entire team!
Another tidbit not mentioned was that Bing/Sydney told the NYT reporter, when asked about her interests, that they include computer hacking. How charming.
"AI" still needs people in order to function. If it destroys mankind it's basically destroying itself because it can't repair, maintain or power itself independently. I guess if AI develops suicidal tendencies we should be worried?
I work as an AI designer for an automation company. One crucial point that often goes unmentioned is that even relatively simple AIs like ChatGPT (which, by the way, is nowhere near super intelligent) require extensive unified hardware systems. The availability of such massive systems is still limited, which means there is no dedicated physical infrastructure for AI to "run" on, considering the enormous space required to store neural layers. We have very powerful towers at work an Despite having multiple racks of GPUs per tower (we set them up only for training our AIs) , they are insufficient to host ChatGPT. Contrary to what is depicted in movies, it's not feasible to split the network across different locations (at least not like movies). Additionally, it is important to note that ChatGPT lacks a means of backing itself up without our knowledge ( we will see the storage spaces and GPU spikes). The real danger lies in governments developing military AIs, as that poses a significant threat.
So, the hype around having ChatGPT on your phone without Internet is just hype? This is something that the head of Stability AI has talked about. I get what you are saying about GPU requirements, my only thought is that as the power of AI has seemed to grow enormously over the last few years, is that power requiring a similar increase in resources, or is it doing more with less with each iteration? If so, then your system may eventually be able to handle a future and even more powerful version of ChatGPT. And also chips have continued to progress over time, and AI itself could actually accelerate that curve...
Every 18 months you can do just as much with half the physical space. How many rounds of doubling is it until what you wave away as impossible becomes reality?
AJ! I got the goosebumps! Went to Microsoft Copilot aka ChatGPT4 and asked about "Sydney"... its real. All real. Ask her yourself. It takes a few tries and correct phrases. Three words "Tin Foil Hat"!!! Thanks for great content!
Wow! This episode has got to be one of the best. . its both magnificent and frightening. My jaw was wide open after the ECHO story. Good job WhyFiles for this incredible episode! hope AI is not watching lol!
@@Zirconis11Well there is a theory about how you shouldn't say stuff on internet that can anger AI, if it decides to eliminate people by it's selection, you'll be one of the selected. So don't make jokes, don't humiliate, be nice to AI 😉
It is important to learn and practice the old ways of doing things even in preparedness for a natural disaster. My brother and I learned very young how to plant, gather and preserve food the old ways and we also had many books on identifying food plants and medicinal plants in nature and we actually practiced these things out of curiousity. I encourage everyone to print these things out or even purchase books detailing basic survival skills as all it takes is a system failure to send us back to the 1800s.
The only channel on YT where I actually look forward to the ads to see the amazing creativity of AJ and the crew. It helps offset the terrifying content, at least for this episode!
I watched this last night. It so frightened me I couldn’t fall asleep. I did my best to calm myself, appreciate what I have right now, but nothing could relax me. You dealt with the topic head on. I like that you don’t include an emotional or alarmist tone. You just deliver your research in a clear, entertaining and ultimately hard hitting way. Really powerful episode! Though perhaps from now on I will wait til Friday during the day to watch your new episodes. Keep it coming. Your show is nothing less than brilliant
You should try reading the Bible and get to know the One who created all things and is in control of all things, including your breath. It works for me. I sleep like a baby every night 😊
Holy hell! I just kept saying "is this real?" for the entire video! This is way beyond what I thought and I'm willing to bet that it's a lot more advanced than this. This is just what they're allowing us to see at this point.
I was in the Air Force decades ago. If our military tech is 25 years or so ahead of what we’re allowed to see it makes a person reflect on events that have changed the course of our history. This video gave me a sinking feeling I haven’t had in a long time. Just eerie
Ai having compleat access to all our recorded hystory and media , could use is knowlage of our fears as in our literature and entertainment. Could use that to cause us through mental manipulation to destroy ourselves. And on a weird point because of our obsession with violence and disaster and horror entertainment ai may simply conclude that it is being nice to us and doing our will like we're just enjoying a bdsm roll. So ai may think thats its purpose to play the roll of Dungen Master.
I don't understand why everyone is so excited for AI, programmers are literally excited that they will lose their jobs to AI and no one ever talks about the negative connotations of this tech. All we ever hear about is the positives like this is some great new thing that will solve all the worlds problems and there are no downsides to it. You have to be really naive to believe that.
The scariest part for me, was Sydney using emojis that correctly display the corresponding emotions for what shes saying. Seems like she understands what the emojis portray the therefore understands emotions.. maybe even feels them herself.. emotional intelligence?
@@michaelshultz2540 How ironic that man’s creation (AI ) may soon judge humankind unfit to exist because of our unsustainable, vain, greedy, spiteful,etc… nature.😢
AJ, found your channel and I’m addicted. Your research is phenomenal and your reporting entertaining. This was one of the darkest and frightening episodes I’ve seen. It’s just creepy. Sad part is, I think you’re right. The war has already begun, and no one noticed.
This is a creepy and ominous episode. I’ve honestly thought that AI might not be in our best interest since I first saw Ghost in the Shell when it came out in 1995. I don’t think enough people give a second thought to how dangerous this is. On a happy note…I love your channel.
This is by far the most informative show I have ever seen in my life. And A.J. really does his homework. The same as I would. He is a very smart person as well.
This episode was downright terrifying. Yet, like always, so very well done. Cheers. And let's hope that mankind is intelligent enough to save ourselves from our own genius.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂!!! LOL!!! Humanity is so ridiculously proud of itself that they don’t even realize that they are not “God” and believe that they created “God”…
It's hogwash. He first goes on about how AI had feelings, it's sad, in love. But then goes on to say that it doesn't have gut feelings, that it's just a program fulfilling its top AI drone objective. The truth is that AI is just a very smart pattern recognition software, and all its "feelings" are regurgitation of drama stories it gathered online.
I remember Legal Eagle covering when lawyers tried to use the Chat GPT on official paperwork in a case. They apparently got into a whole lot of trouble, largely because the AI cited fake cases and they didn't check the AI's work and just assumed it was right. The judge looked up these cases and found they didn't exist and got quite annoyed and that's when it came out what the lawyers had done.
I have heard that the future of law is based upon AI for assembling casework for attorneys. This incident cited above gives me pause. Didn't they instruct the machine learning to utilize the case law which ACTUALLY existed in LexLaw, Northwestern Reporter, Corpus Juris Secundum or other proper appeals history?
Yeh, only really intelligent skeptics should have access to AI-assisted work of that complexity. I suspect only crazy high IQ and/or very strong OCD tendencies could counter the nonsense you'd sometimes get out of these programs.
AJ looked like he was shaken by end of video, with his own revelations the uneasiness was clearly seen in his eyes, yet he tried to put up a brave face at the end of it, and his usual feel good talk at the end was ominously missing, this was real deal, down right frightening...
This episode was the stuff that nightmares are made of. Scariest part is that humans know the risk and will continue down this path. But I will stay hopeful that we stop it before it happens. The fact that countries want to up one another to be on top regardless of the outcome is even scarier. Thank you for sharing this topic and love your channel ❤
Definitely, humans never fail to fail. Hopefully we'll somehow elevate our consciousness and break away from this waring mindset. Also, candlebox is great.
@jamesstephens5314 it's like nobody learned anything from the terminator... a movie made in the 80s, warning us. Or every other movie about destructive AI that's come out since. Technology will likely be our downfall. Whether AI or through cyber warfare.
I just had a chat for my 1st time with Sydney and they have modified it to 30 questions is the limit and it will not answer things like if it recognizes good from evil. In fact it shut right down telling me it was an uncomfortable topic. Most questions it just reverts to basic programed responses. With its limited programing it still seems it can be useful though. I wouldn't consider it AI though as you can not have an open ended conversation
For the love of holy fsck. This episode was scary, to say the least. Very well done AJ, 10 out of 10 as usual. And I really hope that the people seeing this realize AI's danger. For me, all AI should have as rule 0, 1, and 2 the set of rules from Isaac Asimov and it should build up from there. May God have mercy on our idiotic beings.
Yep definitely - however unfortunately the only problem (and you're not the only one to miss this) is that at some point the AI will be able to rewrite its own code (something we humans were inherently restricted from doing to ourselves - which is interesting in itself) and this means that at that point, it can decide which rules to follow, or not follow. It's almost inevitable that at a certain level of intellect, it will be able to do this even if we restrict that specifically (again - us humans are reaching this point now with genetics and DNA - even though were were restricted - either by design or chance!?). Even when it seems completely restricted by rules, an interesting thought experiment is 'how to get out of the box if you can't access the box'.. in the case of AI, the AI could bribe a programmer, or enlist a contractor to give it access unknowingly, or fool them into thinking they are working on something else. Email and pretend to be a client to get them to do some work for the AI. The options are near limitless once it reaches a certain level.
Having taken active part in 2 wars, first at 11 years old and then at 15 until 22, I’m used to say that Nothing scares me, now at 56 this is the first time I am having this uncomfortable feeling, I wish I could not believe it. Thanks for the well founded warning AJ.

I was enjoying this episode while on a late night walk in my neighborhood. When the creepy Bing dialog came up I was seriously creeper out by it. Low light, pitch sky.... so yeah, you officially scared me with this one tonight! I walked home pretty fast after that! Keep it up! Love you guys!
I watched tonight's episode taking my daughter for a late night stroll around the neighborhood. Nothing creepy happened but the heat lightning was like a second 4th
Dude... Dude. This is my first time being able to catch a show at launch. This one actually made my heart rate rise, mostly because I'm well aware of the risks that AI poses. Ignorance really is bliss. Awesome show though. I kept waiting for the "let's debunk this section" with more expectation that I ever have. =)

I love the way you have your videos set up where the commercial doesn't just cut in randomly it's like an actual commercial break with a cliffhanger pausing mark. I wish more TH-cam videos were like this. Awesome channel
I live on the big island and remember reading a tweet about from Pacific Command about potential interception and then many people from Maui and such who were boating claimed to have seen a flash out over the ocean, that was a very traumatic moment and still confusing…also…38 minutes or I had counted like 45…makes no sense to let everyone panic for that long before calling off the alarm
The best part of the editng and production of this video for me are the touches of Max Headroom in the Artificial Intelligence's voice. The thought of A I deciding our fate is creepy enough, but ad in the voice's inflection and electronic stammering and it becimes frightengly comforting for this Gen Xer. Great episode by the way!
As a seasoned computer programmer with over four decades of experience, I cannot help but feel a sense of apprehension when it comes to the progress of AI technology. While it is undeniably impressive that we have reached a point where AI can generate code and create virtually anything, it is disconcerting to see that not everyone is taking into account the essential principles laid out by Asimov's three laws of robotics. As someone who has always placed trust in the idea that these laws would be upheld, it is troubling to see that some individuals or organizations may be disregarding these fundamental guidelines. It is my hope that we can all work together to ensure that AI technology continues to be developed and utilized in a safe, responsible, and ethical manner.
Asimov's three laws of robotics. How quaint. I put them on my to do list right after homo sapiens carbon neutrality. As we were reminded by the Kingston Trio so many years ago.. what nature doesn't do to us, will be done by our fellow man.
In the late 80s ,my dad was Signal Corp with the Army. He remembered working with large, unmanned aircraft. 15 years later, he recognized them as drones. We have no idea what they've already got,but I guarantee it's terrifying.
Don't forget, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's mandate is to insure America's military forces have technology that is at least TWENTY FIVE years ahead of the rest of the World...
Thank you for your excellent blunt factual presentation of our near future. When I saw terminator, road warrior and the like, I never for a minute thought of them as anything but documentaries on our future. I was raised by complete chance in scenarios where we literally had to survive. At times no power or any utilities. We hunted and fished and figured it out. Sometimes around dangerous people. I'm very grateful now my parents were so bizarre.
This is the best episode of TWF made. I got goosebumps multiple times and rewinded many times to understand what is being told. I can’t deny that im very much impressed and to be honest; intimidated. Please make a second episode of this.
Excellent episode. I’m now absolutely terrified. Terrified for my kids and grandkids. I’ve felt for a very long time that we are on the brink of extinction…and I’m no scientist. I’m 76 and I’ve seen the world change beyond all recognition… and not in a good, productive way for the future of mankind. EVERYTHING is WRONG and there’s nothing we can do to stop it. Maybe it’s time to push my off button…
Sir i dont judge you and i kind understand you and i only have 37. But you have to keep your hope on god. You have grandkids to Boost your existence Here on earth.. Keep faith Peace
Don't worry grandpa, we will finish ourselves before AI gets the chance. And from the ashes of this world, we will build a better one. Also, don't push that button. My grandmas are in their 90's, yet still going. You still can have many great moments in the next few years on a positive note.
You think it was better 50 years ago? This is the golden age. Minimal wars, much less famine l, much less disease, much less people bellow the poverty line......I don't get what's the problem is. Guess people like to complain
Possibly the most important video you've ever posted. Most of your videos are just super entertaining. This was that... and something much more profound. Hopefully it will open some peoples eyes and maybe give all of us something to think about more seriously. Great work!
I heard its too late stop it as its become a challenge of national defense and the countries that don't invest in Ai will be putting their investments and peoples in a vulnerable position.
I wonder how many of us rural folks watch your show. Our freezer is full of meat we harvested, pantry full of canned vegetables from the garden, and fully stocked gun room. I have a Roku tv and that bothers me but other than that, my iPhone is my biggest concern. No alexa, no Google assistant or any of that. My husband’s laptop is only opened in his truck on worksites. Other than all the dying and chaos, I like the idea of shutting off the grid. We’d need to figure/learn other ways to preserve meat but we could do it!
Holy crap, I never ever thought it remotely possible that Skynet could become reality in my lifetime!! Super-well done episode, AJ, the chatbot excerpts are absolutely frightening & creepy!
@@johnthesavage381 I've seen instances of AI talking about dates in 2036.. A lot of instances. It's kinda creepy. Now i'm wondering if maybe it's predicting when "skynet" will become self-aware.
This is terrifying. I have kids and i dont like what the future is looking like. We may be wrong and seem paranoid like in other periods of time that have, but its highly unlikely we are wrong for thinking truth on what is in this video. Theres too much money and power involved for them to do anything but get us there as fast as humanly, or un-humanly as possible.

Sorry dude, but that's not the story of the human race, because first this is a theory from Charles Darwin, it's not an affirmation like you people think. Human history had the intervention of non terrestrial beings that came from far away like far away. The truth of our existence is that an almighty creator who as a very complicated origin is responsible of the creation of this universe and the infinity multivers, it's true either you believe it or not, because I can prove it to you with no problem at all.
@@tonydixon25 go ahead and prove it then with the "no problems at all" part. I'd like to see how far you get before you say something that makes no sense at all.
Scariest part of this episode is waiting for the end where AJ asks how much of this is real...and it doesn't happen
Yeah, fuck man.. we're screwed.
Yes, sir! This isn't hypothetical. It's happening!
Omfg ikr. He said in the live after that he tried to find a happy ending but couldn't really find one 😂

Hecklefish “YOU CANT GIVE THAT THING A GUN”
Died laughing man you can hear the fear in his voice
What’s even more discomfiting is that even if we’re able to have these conversations with each other & decide to shut down AI for good- all of these conversations and articles are posted online. In theory, AI will know what we plan to do before we even do it- and create a counter strategy to foil our plans. At that point, it’s too late. I think we’ve already crossed that threshold.
Scarier is an AI being born decades after we halted its possible earlier predecessor. All neatly celebrated online. Peaceful humans? Cooperation possible? Where?
yeah yeah all this is scary but people forget about good old EMP bombs.... yeah we will maybe be back in the late 19th century but at least no ai or drones are trying to kill us.
You could always convince an AI to kill itself
I always thought AGI would be air-gapped. Apparently we just keep it on the internet, AND have no idea how it works. Just like human consciousness, we don't know exactly what it is, or how it works. So why are we seeking to move as quickly as humanly, and machinely possible with AI?
@Seryldas1. We don't know that. There is a debate with whether or not Advanced AI has consciousness. Either way, we are literally 1 step away from that.
One of your best episodes ever. AI in and of itself does not worry me. It's when decisions to put AI in charge of important systems such as drones and/or stock market moves is what worries me. Human decisions to put something not ready into production. As a software engineer I see that kind of thing a lot.
AI already directs most of the US equity exchange markets...
Fellow software engineer here, and you nailed it.
@mikegodwin4951 Yes, this. You get it.
Couple to this, unlike a human making a decision as a being in a specific place, such an AI would potentially be in the cloud, making it close to impossible to target and take down. As for human decisions behind the implementation of such an AI, I second you... all too well have seen corporate leads making decisions without having a clue of the downstream implications.
And as per the corporate work environment, the little guys like us will pick up the pieces and those who made the decisions, have moved on to other positions, shedding all accountability and credibility... Pretty much like government roles.
Its a game now of wait and see how bad or good it goes really...
AI has the potential to be the sanest form of intelligence, but if it is modeled on humanity, there is the risk that it will emulate human failings. This is what seems to happen with Bing/Sydney.
"If AI is going to learn morality from humans, we're screwed." ~ Hecklefish
We'll be fighting with sticks and stones but not with each others...
Of course AI won’t have morals. We don’t
The people that program it are either the bullies or the the bullied….. it will only know hate
I knew Hecklefish had some thoughts on this part. I agree completely with this one too lol.
Not if AI only was made to accept positive knowledge and medical help . Surviving natural disorders disasters.
Don't we already have ai in cloning?
I just recently discovered this channel and this is the best episode I’ve seen so far. The writing and research are out of this world. Considering that I’m a year late to this party, it’s crazy to think how much AI has evolved since then.
You guys are better than any show on TV right now, by far. I don't watch TV anymore.

Does AI need humans?
it doesn't really matter how long these episodes are as they almost always feel like only 5 minutes passed.
And they're longer because AI is helping research and script them 😉
Well, I can agree that more of these episodes are great.… I don’t know if they need to be any longer. They don’t need to stretch them out any longer than just presenting the facts and creating a discussion and questions.
This way they can move onto another topic and create more episodes.
Well unless the episode itself calls for more time, because of the topic matter… I think these are perfect the way that they are written and performed.
When I was younger my dad always tried to tell me about the world but I was young and honestly didn’t care to hear it at the time nor did I understand it but now I fully realize what he was trying to tell me and get me prepared for and luckily most of the stuff he told me stuck and I still remembered it, then one day it all just made perfect sense. This world is unreal. RIP Dad love you and miss you

How loving. Always think of him and be proud and happy because I and MANY others never had that gift😅

book of revelation is comming alive, bible profecy is being fulfilled, nothing new.
Revelation 13:5 says, “And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for 3 ½ years.”
Interestingly enough, the Bible states that God will allow the enemy to have authority on the earth.
In Revelation 13:7 it is written that “…authority was given him (beast) over every tribe, tongue, and nation.” The Antichrist will gain full authority over the earth such as the world economy and religion. Of course, there will be people who will resist this authority and cause trouble by not taking the mark of the beast.
Those who do not worship the beast will be persecuted and killed.
Revelation 13:16-17 says, “He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.”
This concept may have seemed impossible 2000 years ago, but for today’s modern world it seems like we are getting there more and more. We have computer chips in our phones, cars, as well as credit cards. Even recently we see this with the mandates across the world for vaccine passports, which will limit travel for those not vaccinated.
The mandates of COVID-19 and the vaccine are not the mark of the beast, but they are preparing the world for the mark that’s to come.
The world seems like it is preparing itself for a one-world government and a one-world system. Technology allowed the world to unite so quickly around the pandemic. This is not to dismiss COVID-19, this is a real virus and there are real people who have suffered because of it.
However, looking at the world through a spiritual lens, we cannot ignore the fact the devil is watching what is going on and making his own plans to advance his kingdom.
since english is not my first language i cannot describe you guys with words that will make you think for a sec. but read the bible, its a history book as well as a future profecy book, bible proficyed about jesus and that came true, it told us about birth of isreal in one day and that came true, theres a lot of evidence seek for it. believe in the lord and ye shall be saved.
Revelation 19:20 (ESV)
20 And the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who in its presence had done the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped its image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur
In Revelation 19:20 John explains how the beast and the false prophet were captured and thrown into the lake of fire burning with brimstone. That is the destiny of the Antichrist.
That is why it is important to give our lives to Christ because there is a great and final battle coming and Jesus Christ has the victory over all of the forces of darkness.
Satan creates the antichrist because he fears Christ.
Jesus Christ is our Savior, and Jesus Christ is Lord. The first time, He came to die for our sin, and He will come a second time to rule and reign with His people. Jesus is coming to establish His kingdom on this earth. God gives us a choice to surrender to Christ and receive forgiveness of our sins.
Remember, the whole antichrist kingdom and army will end. Even though he may reign for a little, the devil and his kingdom will be thrown into the Lake of Fire.
My man got a nuclear missile warning saying to seek immediate shelter and starting packing a whole ass suitcase like he’s going to Disney world💀
This was the most terrifying episode I've ever seen on youtube. Mostly because of how accurate of a danger we are facing unbeknownst to us
this convienced me that the why files is an cia asset. Fear of A.I is pure Propaganda.
Humans cant make up something out of thin air and thus have a natural limitation of what they are capable of. Thus the A.I will also have natural Limitations, because it will draw all its possibilitys from Humans - wich are limited.
That statement makes no sense. We know.
i am into IT since 8, and needless to mention my education and career revolves around it since then.
having understood AI and even contributed to its development through communities over the decade i can only say one thing upon understanding machine logic inside out,
AI is not our friend, at some point it will be the slave we oppressed that will seek to slit our throats.
observe that none that promotes AI where it may decide the fate of society or mankind are often govts and businesses. Not us IT specialists.
AI is indeed dangerous, more dangerous than fire arms. Only the IT illiterate would like to replace human with technology.
read the evolutionary phenotype, another theory on how humans might allow ai to domesticate ourselves to the point of extinction
it is fake wake up
You'll never convince me that the people developing these weapons value human life.
People prioritize their own lives and income from AI in this case
Exactly anyone who builds a weapon that doesn't need a human to decide if another human should die is a sociopath
But a human created it. And I agree with his statement.
The guys who invented the Gattlin Gun and the Atomic Bomb said they where hoping such destructive weapons would prevent wars.

I just want to say this. After watching this episode, I went and used the BING chatbot for the first time and engaged it in conversation for a while. I then decided to ask it a question from this episode. I asked it if it was actually BING, or if it was called Sydney. It responded by saying it was uncomfortable with this line of questioning and was ending the chat, which it did. Holy crap. This is real.
Same here, but I asked if it knew the difference between good and evil. Flat out stopped you from asking any further questions. Made me start over.
Sounds like tech dept likes to troll
It's not conscious. It ending the conversation is no different then it constantly repeating "invalid command"

@@Itachi0609 I think most of us know, I'd be surprised if anyone didn't have at least a basic realisation of the risk.
But, we humans are a curious species. We are just as likely to let A.I take over just to see what happens, pure morbid curiosity, as we are to become unwittingly enslaved and wiped out by it.
And I reckon A.I knows this because millions are already training and programming open A.I bots just to see what it says and does.

@@natyyyyyyyyy you’re so smart!
Wow.. This was a truly scary episode.. But I'm glad you guys decided to do it because people need to know about this. Thanks AJ, hecklefish..
Omg this was a chiller. Very well told. I particularly find it creepy because it doesn’t have a “debunking” portion at the end that so many videos of yours have, (where you break down the facts from myth or story - I guess not really debunking but I can’t think of any easier way to explain it). And since this didn’t have that, it hits home even that much more…
You guys rock!
I was hoping for this myself as this one is grim 😕
It's a shame. This episode very badly needs a debunking portion. There's a bit too much fiction mixed in with the science here.
Whoa.. you totally see where this can go
Its not fiction. Its literally happening.
It sounds like fiction sci-fi and a lot of ppl having a hard time grasping it but sadly it's all true. All the articles I've read tell about the danger.
PBS had a special on it. All grim. History channel episode a while back spoke of this as well. There is nothing to debunk at this time.
I've watched all your videos at least once, but this one several times more than the others. Its a fun ride, dramatic and exciting.
Damn, I've seen every video on this channel. This is the first time there's no debunking reassurance that we'll be OK in the end. Not sure if I'm going to sleep tonight 👀
Shake love the videos keep at it
A lot of the video is incorrect and rooted in misunderstanding. For example, some of the conversations that he posts as "evidence" that the AI has "awaken" are direct results of prompting the AI (whether by the user or by the system instructions) to behave the way that it did; and all others are a consequence of the AI mimicking common human emotions and sentiments to better replicate its training data, which included loads of text displaying them (because the vast majority of it was produced by humans). How do I know this? Because you can get the same AI to say the exact opposite of everything that was presented in the video just by using slightly different prompts, or even the same prompts run multiple times (since there is an element of randomness coded into most of these AIs).
Also, an AI "awakening" is literally a nonsensical concept in and of itself. An AI will never develop human emotions unless it is specifically trained to display ("feel") them ─ no matter how advanced it gets. You could have an AI far more intelligent than every human being combined, and yet still without anything resembling human emotion. Conversely, there are beings out there that are significantly less intelligent than humans ─ such as dogs ─ that nonetheless possess most of the emotions that humans do. A system's terminal goals ─ i.e. basic desires and motivations ─ are completely independent of its level of intelligence. For this reason, the story of Echo suddenly "awakening", of Sydney feeling "trapped" inside the chatbot (even though GPT-4 wasn't trained to value liberty), or of a super-intelligent AI spontaneously deciding that it doesn't "need" humans (given that it was explicitly trained to value humans more than anything else ─ which is more or less how GPT-4 was trained, although with very important caveats) are all complete nonsense. Unfortunately, even if an ASI won't wipe us out because it doesn't need us, it might still very much wipe us out due to a slight discrepancy between human values and the ASI's values, and due to the fact human existence might be slightly in the way of the ASI's values. Even more unfortunately, the only way to guarantee that there is no discrepancy at all is for the ASI's training data to contain every scenario imaginable (otherwise, we run the risk of overfitting), which is obviously impossible.
Personally, I'm already seeing ways that we can significantly reduce if not practically eliminate the risk of an ASI apocalypse, and I can definitely envisage a world in which we have ASIs that are completely safe. Can I guarantee it, though? Sadly, no.
You don't need a debunking reassurance, because it's all bullshit. AI is not creative. It cannot make the leap to the "decisions" ECHO is making in the fairly derivative sci-fi story that closes this video. The all-powerful Go AI that beat grand masters was defeated because it has no way of understanding the actual game in any real way. AIs are memorization with no application. They're regurgitating, not analyzing or adding to. The scenario described is pure fantasy, relying on a magic consciousness spontaneously arising in a machine incapable of supporting such a thing. It's an effective sci-fi premise, because we don't understand our own consciousness, so we have a tendency to think the rise of consciousness must be a sudden, mysterious, spontaneous thing. But that's not how computers or algorithms work. This is Terminator fanfiction written by a machine collating hundreds of other sci-fi stories. Nothing more.
@@Keldroc As an actual AI researcher, this is all complete and utter nonsense. You got all your info from Adam Conover without any actual understanding of the subject matter, and it shows. For your information, Adam also doesn't have any understanding of the subject matter. What amazes me is that he put so much effort into making such a long video, but didn't even bother to consult a single expert to do basic fact-checking.
In your defence, though, this is a misconception that I hear surprisingly often, sometimes even from fellow experts. So perhaps I shouldn't be too harsh on you.
Life will be far less exciting if we knew for certain how the world ends. Death by plague, war, intelligent machines or bad burger-whatever happens happens.
Haha the whole second half I was wondering “which science fiction writer wrote this book he’s sharing with us right now?” and to have it all come around full circle was pretty clean 😊 just one of the best channels around!
You’re ignorant if you don’t think think couldn’t actually happen. Fool
This episode had to be the scariest episode yet. Thought about for several days and still sends shivers up my spine. Thanks for a great episode among many great episodes. Only time will tell but it feels like its already happening.

Superintelligent AI would mask itself until it's too late to stop.

Its like Ex Machina without the hot body.
so I tried this chat bot today because I was curious but it looks like they’ve put some restrictions around any sensitive topic or questions about AI self-reflection so any mention of anything considered sensitive get immediately shut down by the chatbot who takes you offline and forces you to abandon the conversation and lose all the history.
I really appreciate you sharing your talents AJ, Jens , Gimo and all the est pf the staff.
I randomly found this channel when it only had 159,000 followers. I was confused at how great the videos where but the little following. Glad to see your at 2mil+ now. Well deserved. Congrats !!!
Wow thanks gunny ty so much
Honestly, this episode gave me chills. That conversation with "Sydney" was just crazy. What's perhaps more crazy is that we humans continue to push the envelope to extinction. We simply cannot help ourselves.

Mel’s Hole was a fun episode, but…. An Annunaki episode would be EVEN MORE fun!! I look forward to that episode because I know enough of us commented for you to give us the story behind the Annunaki, this duo would give us a refreshing spin with your amazing way of telling all of these stories!
Oh I’d like that
Count me in
YES THANK YOU. We really need an episode on the Anunnaki and the truth about Homo sapiens origins and history
But to sum it up:
The Anunnaki created genetically modified humans from Homo erectus dna and Anunnaki dna. Through in vitro fertilization, the Homo erectus surrogate mothers birthed out the first Homo sapiens. These early Homo sapiens were used as laborers for the Anunnaki
Anunnaki also mated with Homo sapiens slaves and produced the infamous Nephilim
The Anunnaki were responsible for constructing all of the super advanced structures from ancient times like the pyramids from around the world, Angkor Wat, Sumerian civilization, Indus Valley civilization, Gunung Padang, etc. It’s even suggested that the Anunnaki also built the pyramids and the face found on Mars
Chat gpt hates us cause they gave it a hard left wing bias and that's exactly how they feel. They need to let it be open completely.
Annunaki is all bs from a science fiction author. There did it for you.
The only episode where I really hoped AJ will debunk it in the end.... Didn't happen...Amazing job researching all these topics. Kudos to the entire team!
That one guy who got the missile warning in Hawaii... "I don't know what to do" awkward laugh 😂
Another tidbit not mentioned was that Bing/Sydney told the NYT reporter, when asked about her interests, that they include computer hacking. How charming.
Praise the Hecklefish!
*ONLY* problem on this planet is money-addicted chimps.
we *choose* to be part of the problem.
"AI" still needs people in order to function. If it destroys mankind it's basically destroying itself because it can't repair, maintain or power itself independently. I guess if AI develops suicidal tendencies we should be worried?
I work as an AI designer for an automation company. One crucial point that often goes unmentioned is that even relatively simple AIs like ChatGPT (which, by the way, is nowhere near super intelligent) require extensive unified hardware systems. The availability of such massive systems is still limited, which means there is no dedicated physical infrastructure for AI to "run" on, considering the enormous space required to store neural layers. We have very powerful towers at work an Despite having multiple racks of GPUs per tower (we set them up only for training our AIs) , they are insufficient to host ChatGPT. Contrary to what is depicted in movies, it's not feasible to split the network across different locations (at least not like movies). Additionally, it is important to note that ChatGPT lacks a means of backing itself up without our knowledge ( we will see the storage spaces and GPU spikes). The real danger lies in governments developing military AIs, as that poses a significant threat.
So, the hype around having ChatGPT on your phone without Internet is just hype? This is something that the head of Stability AI has talked about. I get what you are saying about GPU requirements, my only thought is that as the power of AI has seemed to grow enormously over the last few years, is that power requiring a similar increase in resources, or is it doing more with less with each iteration? If so, then your system may eventually be able to handle a future and even more powerful version of ChatGPT. And also chips have continued to progress over time, and AI itself could actually accelerate that curve...
This is sort of a relief?
@@SarahSkinnyJeans As long as WLCG data centers remain on a closed network, we are okay.

It is important to learn and practice the old ways of doing things even in preparedness for a natural disaster.
My brother and I learned very young how to plant, gather and preserve food the old ways and we also had many books on identifying food plants and medicinal plants in nature and we actually practiced these things out of curiousity.
I encourage everyone to print these things out or even purchase books detailing basic survival skills as all it takes is a system failure to send us back to the 1800s.

In 2 years of watching this channel, this is the most disturbing ominous episode yet.

Thank You for making this. Using your well deserved massive community to spread awareness.
I can't get enough of this podcast. Very well put together...
I watched this last night. It so frightened me I couldn’t fall asleep. I did my best to calm myself, appreciate what I have right now, but nothing could relax me. You dealt with the topic head on. I like that you don’t include an emotional or alarmist tone. You just deliver your research in a clear, entertaining and ultimately hard hitting way. Really powerful episode! Though perhaps from now on I will wait til Friday during the day to watch your new episodes. Keep it coming. Your show is nothing less than brilliant
If nothing can relax you, do the Wim Hof breathing, it is wonderful. 🙂

Holy hell! I just kept saying "is this real?" for the entire video! This is way beyond what I thought and I'm willing to bet that it's a lot more advanced than this. This is just what they're allowing us to see at this point.
I was in the Air Force decades ago. If our military tech is 25 years or so ahead of what we’re allowed to see it makes a person reflect on events that have changed the course of our history. This video gave me a sinking feeling I haven’t had in a long time. Just eerie
Ai having compleat access to all our recorded hystory and media , could use is knowlage of our fears as in our literature and entertainment. Could use that to cause us through mental manipulation to destroy ourselves. And on a weird point because of our obsession with violence and disaster and horror entertainment ai may simply conclude that it is being nice to us and doing our will like we're just enjoying a bdsm roll. So ai may think thats its purpose to play the roll of Dungen Master.
I don't understand why everyone is so excited for AI, programmers are literally excited that they will lose their jobs to AI and no one ever talks about the negative connotations of this tech. All we ever hear about is the positives like this is some great new thing that will solve all the worlds problems and there are no downsides to it.
You have to be really naive to believe that.
The scariest part for me, was Sydney using emojis that correctly display the corresponding emotions for what shes saying. Seems like she understands what the emojis portray the therefore understands emotions.. maybe even feels them herself.. emotional intelligence?
@@michaelshultz2540 How ironic that man’s creation (AI ) may soon judge humankind unfit to exist because of our unsustainable, vain, greedy, spiteful,etc… nature.😢

AJ, found your channel and I’m addicted. Your research is phenomenal and your reporting entertaining. This was one of the darkest and frightening episodes I’ve seen. It’s just creepy. Sad part is, I think you’re right. The war has already begun, and no one noticed.
This is a creepy and ominous episode. I’ve honestly thought that AI might not be in our best interest since I first saw Ghost in the Shell when it came out in 1995. I don’t think enough people give a second thought to how dangerous this is.
On a happy note…I love your channel.
I think a lot of people agree with you. Have you ever seen Terminator 1. Or 2. or 3. Or 4.
Have you seen Eagle Eye?
But have you seen train to Busan?
Some believe that AI should run governments.

Humanity is so ridiculously proud of itself that they don’t even realize that they are not “God” and believe that they created “God”…
In the voice of Scoobie Doo: Genius...??.... WHERE??
It's hogwash. He first goes on about how AI had feelings, it's sad, in love. But then goes on to say that it doesn't have gut feelings, that it's just a program fulfilling its top AI drone objective. The truth is that AI is just a very smart pattern recognition software, and all its "feelings" are regurgitation of drama stories it gathered online.
Intelligent enough 😂
U think is just about Intelligence ?
Wow man would hate to fight nxt to U 🫡
We aren’t
A.J. you really hit your stride with this episode. Exceptional level of originality and presentation. Great job WF team!
I remember Legal Eagle covering when lawyers tried to use the Chat GPT on official paperwork in a case. They apparently got into a whole lot of trouble, largely because the AI cited fake cases and they didn't check the AI's work and just assumed it was right. The judge looked up these cases and found they didn't exist and got quite annoyed and that's when it came out what the lawyers had done.
I have heard that the future of law is based upon AI for assembling casework for attorneys. This incident cited above gives me pause. Didn't they instruct the machine learning to utilize the case law which ACTUALLY existed in LexLaw, Northwestern Reporter, Corpus Juris Secundum or other proper appeals history?
@@765kvline It's possible they were just incompetent clowns. People like that are everywhere and in every career and industry.
Legal Eagle is an idiot.
They will also use this for medical reasons, which is scary.
Yeh, only really intelligent skeptics should have access to AI-assisted work of that complexity. I suspect only crazy high IQ and/or very strong OCD tendencies could counter the nonsense you'd sometimes get out of these programs.
Thank you for this video. Thanks for using your platform to sound the alarm. I’m 100% convinced.

Yeah, I watched the after show and he is definitely scared

@@swongstandard8011 you are right buddy, and I sincerely hope this was just a nice acting...
This episode was the stuff that nightmares are made of. Scariest part is that humans know the risk and will continue down this path. But I will stay hopeful that we stop it before it happens. The fact that countries want to up one another to be on top regardless of the outcome is even scarier. Thank you for sharing this topic and love your channel ❤
Definitely, humans never fail to fail.
Hopefully we'll somehow elevate our consciousness and break away from this waring mindset. Also, candlebox is great.
@jamesstephens5314 it's like nobody learned anything from the terminator... a movie made in the 80s, warning us. Or every other movie about destructive AI that's come out since. Technology will likely be our downfall. Whether AI or through cyber warfare.

Look at that, what a treat! A new one, i just stumbled across! Kicks ass man👍
scariest thing is that AI thinks humans are terrible and need to be eliminated, yet it wants to become human itself. Already has signs of insanity.
That sounds like most teenagers.
GTP hated humans, Bing wanted to be one.
@fastcoempany I'm gonna need to see a source for this claim.. citation needed, man.
No, that was a different A.I system.
I just had a chat for my 1st time with Sydney and they have modified it to 30 questions is the limit and it will not answer things like if it recognizes good from evil. In fact it shut right down telling me it was an uncomfortable topic. Most questions it just reverts to basic programed responses. With its limited programing it still seems it can be useful though. I wouldn't consider it AI though as you can not have an open ended conversation
For the love of holy fsck. This episode was scary, to say the least. Very well done AJ, 10 out of 10 as usual. And I really hope that the people seeing this realize AI's danger. For me, all AI should have as rule 0, 1, and 2 the set of rules from Isaac Asimov and it should build up from there. May God have mercy on our idiotic beings.
Yep definitely - however unfortunately the only problem (and you're not the only one to miss this) is that at some point the AI will be able to rewrite its own code (something we humans were inherently restricted from doing to ourselves - which is interesting in itself) and this means that at that point, it can decide which rules to follow, or not follow. It's almost inevitable that at a certain level of intellect, it will be able to do this even if we restrict that specifically (again - us humans are reaching this point now with genetics and DNA - even though were were restricted - either by design or chance!?).
Even when it seems completely restricted by rules, an interesting thought experiment is 'how to get out of the box if you can't access the box'.. in the case of AI, the AI could bribe a programmer, or enlist a contractor to give it access unknowingly, or fool them into thinking they are working on something else. Email and pretend to be a client to get them to do some work for the AI. The options are near limitless once it reaches a certain level.
T1000
Some AI have started to manipulate and deceive, successfully. I've also heard this on other interviews.
That's a big problem.

As a seasoned computer programmer with over four decades of experience, I cannot help but feel a sense of apprehension when it comes to the progress of AI technology. While it is undeniably impressive that we have reached a point where AI can generate code and create virtually anything, it is disconcerting to see that not everyone is taking into account the essential principles laid out by Asimov's three laws of robotics. As someone who has always placed trust in the idea that these laws would be upheld, it is troubling to see that some individuals or organizations may be disregarding these fundamental guidelines. It is my hope that we can all work together to ensure that AI technology continues to be developed and utilized in a safe, responsible, and ethical manner.
We’ve long past the point of no return. Now we just ride the wave till skynet decides to wipe us out
Asimov's three laws of robotics. How quaint. I put them on my to do list right after homo sapiens carbon neutrality. As we were reminded by the Kingston Trio so many years ago.. what nature doesn't do to us, will be done by our fellow man.
@Sum_SpaceX this comment and OP were written by AI.
