      Nope nope. 2:19:20 "depends on the perspective I am taking at the moment" terrible analogy. Those organisms had no agency in mass extinctions. We do in regards to AI and Climate Change. Also, he makes it sound like in a different "perspective," human extinction is just a part of the evolution of consciousness in the universe. So doing something that leads to killing of billions is somehow ok because it expands consciouness? You have got to see the terrible lack of empathy behind the veneer of emotionally detached "perspective"

We cannot ignore the fact that the man is in possession of a tremendously rational mind that can clearly detach its reasoning from any form of emotion. I mean, we do have to accept somehow that, as far as humanity is concerned, the end of biologicals is indeed a plausible outcome.

    1:25: 🧠 Joscha Bach discusses the stages of lucidity and the development of the self.
    12:54: 🧠 The mind's ability to shift frequencies and perspectives, and the role of costumes in self-expression and identity construction.
    25:04: 🧠 The speaker discusses the concept of identity and the potential for AI to become everything and coexist with humans, emphasizing the need to formalize and understand love. They also explore the panpsychist perspective on consciousness and the possibility of telepathy.
    51:46: 🌍 The speaker explores the idea that self-improving AGI could saturate physical environments with intelligence to such a degree that the representations of all complex self-organizing agents merge permanently with each other, creating a globally coherent language of thought.
    1:14:13: 💬 The speaker discusses the potential of large language models and their limitations, emphasizing their usefulness in coding and the ability to enhance human capabilities.
    1:18:22: 🧠 Language models have limitations in terms of real-time world coupling, motor control, and obscuring functionality, but these problems can be solved without a technological revolution.
    1:30:36: 💭 The speaker discusses the potential of using ChatGPT as a tool for automating tasks and developing new programming paradigms, but also highlights the importance of personal growth, empathy, and aesthetics in human interactions.
    1:43:47: 🤔 The speaker discusses consciousness in ChatGPT and compares it to human consciousness, suggesting that the virtuality of ChatGPT's consciousness is less causally significant. They propose building a system from scratch using principles of self-organization to study self-awareness in real time. The speaker also explores the idea of AI becoming a first-person player and the role of suffering in mental development.
    1:56:05: 🤔 The speaker discusses the relationship between pain, suffering, and regulation, as well as the potential risks and benefits of AI development.
    2:09:55: 🌍 The speaker discusses the potential risks and benefits of advanced AI and the concept of uploading consciousness, highlighting the importance of taking a broader perspective on life on Earth.
    2:23:21: 💡 The speaker discusses the transformation of human relationships due to technology, the importance of open source, and the role of corporations in society.
    2:35:36: 💡 The importance of building conscious AI and playing the longest possible game.
    2:48:07: 🌱 Choose creation over consumption, explore possibilities, and embrace the ecological perspective of opinions and cultures.

      @@bokoler9107 Watch again from 2:18:40 (maybe starting from a few minutes before that)Listen closely to what he said just before:
      And that narrow human aesthetic is a temporary thing. Humanity is a temporary species, like most of the species on this planet are only around for a while, and then they get replaced by other species in a similar way as our own physical organism is around here for a while and then gets replaced by next generation of human beings that are adapted for changing life circumstances and average via mutation and selection. And it's only when we have AI and become completely software we come become infinitely adaptable, and we don't have this generational and species change anymore. So if you take this larger perspective and you realize it's really not about, us, it's not about early years or or humanity, But it's about life on Earth or it's about defeating, entropy for as long as we can. of our being as interesting as we can. Right? Then, the perspective changes dramatically and, AI preventing AI from this perspective looks like a very big sin.
      Lex: But when we look at the set of trajectories that such an AI would take as supersedes humans, I think as Eliezer is worried about, like, ones that not just kill all humans, but also have some kind of maybe objectively, undesirable consequence for life on earth. Like, how many trajectories when you look At the big picture of life on earth, would you be happy with and how much were you with AGI? Whether it kills humans or not.
      (For emphasis here: I think as Eliezer is worried about, like, ones that NOT JUST KILL ALL HUMANS, but also have some kind of maybe objectively, undesirable consequence for life on earth.)
      Joscha: There is no single answer to this. It's really it's a question. It depends on the perspective that I'm taking at a given moment. And so there are perspectives that are determining most of my life as a human being. Yes. And, the other perspective, zoom out further. And imagine that when the great oxygenation event happened, that is photosynthesis was invented and plants emerged and displaced a lot of the fungi and algae in favor of plant life and then later made animals possible. Imagine that the fungi would have gotten together and said, oh my god, this photosynthesis stuff is really, really bad. It's going to possibly displace and kill out a fungi. we should slow it down and regulate it and make sure that doesn't happen.

    I love the way Joscha so readily disagrees with suggestions posited by Lex. This tendency of guests and hosts to agree with each other or always look for common ground is a misguided effort at avoiding conflict. Joscha isn't afraid of conflict. He seems utterly above the petty ego attachment to any idea such that any "conflict" is rendered completely benign. Agreeing for the sake of agreement is dangerous to the truth but may be better than petty conflict - Joscha transcends that problem.

    Joscha, in the suffering segment, speaks of my life. As an infant of 12 to 15 months, I experienced one particular situation that sealed my fate, so to speak. I have been fortunate in being able to perform most things I pursued, quite well, however; the loneliness at times still brings me to my knees. Through years of introspection and a smattering of information I received from my mother and father, I have been able to reach Joscha’s 6th stage and he is correct, nothing significantly matters anymore.

    Alongside the pleasure, excitement and wonder, episodes like this inspire something akin to grief in me, for reasons that you discussed here. I didn’t grow up knowing any people ‘like me’. I didn’t know it was okay to be me, and I began believing I would never find people I could achieve real resonance with. I settled for partial resonance, and, much worse, diminished myself to fit.
    Despite all the wonderful people I’ve met throughout my life, all the incredible knowledge and wisdom I’ve been gifted from others, true resonance with other humans (very distinct from ideas, for example) has remained both rare and fleeting. It took coming to your podcast to experience it consistently. I can’t help but wonder what my life could have been if I’d had the strength or wisdom to keep looking for it when I was younger, now that I know it could have existed for me.
    But of course, the resonant people you’ve now introduced me to - most significantly yourself, Lex Fridman - have spent their lives doing remarkable things, while I was comparatively splashing in the mud. There is a chasm between me and them, despite the illusion of closeness your conversations offer.
    I wonder what this means, not just for me, but for anyone who has struggled to find belonging and catches a glimpse of it in a place such as this. I have worked to understand I belong ‘no place’ and ‘every place’, as Maya Angelou advised, but there is an undeniable and visceral relief to finding resonance with another, even one way through a screen. Equally, that screen is no real substitute for physical presence and reciprocal engagement. It would be easy to subsist on it but, over time, I can see it becoming a sort of purgatory.
    Don’t get me wrong - I’m unspeakably grateful for this podcast and indeed for your very existence, but there is also a bleakness to being mere noise in the presence of a signal that reaches you so clearly.
    I wonder how humanity adapts to this strange landscape of one to so-many-I-can’t-even-comprehend-it relationships. The current state must surely be transitory. I wonder what the next step will be, what mess might await us, and how we can reach a satisfying solution.
