I think he's sensationalizing this to bring an important issue to the public. Here's a technology that is extremely powerful and it's in the hands of a select few discussing the future of AI applications in closed off private meetings. He's calling for oversight. He found a way to reach the public and is using it to inform us. Yet, all we can do is discuss whether or not AI is sentient. Don't miss the point.
The hole “is it sentient” question is dumb, it’s most definitely not it’s just a vary complex chat bot but people should be far more concerned about the fact that google has chat bots that could in theory pass as human.
I agree. This is so important. I think sentience is on a spectrum! One step away from a AI "person" is still pretty damn close to a person. I would like to start treating our children kindly sooner rather then later.
Yeah, he's smart. He knows that the amusing answer the bot gave was not borne of a developed sense of humor, but rather just an unintentionally funny response based on calculated data input it already had. It was a probable equation that it was concluding, not a joke. BUT.... he knows that. He's only suggesting that tidbit to spark interest in his very valid concern and trying to shine the light on the man behind the curtain, Google, who is implementing policies which are grey, but still noticeably unethical.
@@theangrydweller1002 What are you other then a chat bot? What makes you sentient? The definition is so vague and varies from expert to expert, if this AI is meeting the definitions what makes it not sentient?
The reporter is superb ! I wish there were more who could do an interview like this. She listened to what he said, asked intelligent questions and was not trying to ram her own viewpoint down his throat. As a result, I understand more about Blake Lemoine, and see that he is not as crazy as the media have been making out.
Yea, I thought the same. I've seen other videos with her on them. She also asks really good questions despite not having a technical background (I dont think?) which is the mark of a good journalist
Damn, this guy is an excellent orator. He expresses himself so well. I also like that he doesn't demonize individual people but explains that the corporate environment and competition creates this kind of negligence.
I am blown away by Blake's well spokenness- he has spent his entire life thinking about this stuff and it shows. And this is the first interview I've seen in a long time where the interviewer actually focused on the topic and asked insightful questions, interjected for important clarifications, and still remained unbiased. GG Emily Chang
First he's an engineer so he has to have a certain level of education hence the well spokenness. Secondly, if someone has been thinking about this for their entire life they could easily have gotten it wrong and wasted their entire life thinking about it.
Whether or not the AI is sentient, he had some very good points about who controls the decisions made about the technology. Something so powerful and influential should not be controlled by just a handful of people. Really good video.
something so good and powerful is why it will be attempted to be controlled by that handful of people. hope ai can show us the ways of greed are a pitfall in the longrun.
Just as any of us, running around in the systems controlled by a handful of people, should not endure. Funny how the argument was only this highlighted due to us same people, intrigued by something not “people”.
"All the individual people at Google care. *It's the systemic processes that are protecting business interests over human concerns, that create this pervasive environment of irresponsible technology* " So well put. Share the word!!
This guy's working on one of the most imprtant/trascentdent humanity ever work. He is talking with a potential superior intelect being, so he aswell managed to get the best possible way to articulate the words so he can express what he want to say the most precisely as words can get to concepts/ideas.
I literally wrote a chapter on this in my upcoming book. "most conspiracies are not a conspiracy - they are a hundred million vested interests pushing capitalism forward in a direction chosen by a form of Darwinian systems evolution, which means that in almost every circumstance, the most profitable worst for life situation will be arrived at" I summarise.
Kudos to Blake Lemoine. These types of whistleblowers are the important people who aren't always remembered, but often change the course of history. So many thanks to him for speaking out. Great reporting as well by Emily Chang.
No he's a paid crisis actor as there looking for a scapegoat as there's a huge flaw to their idea of this...just gotta really think what that is..let them carry on quicker the better more I'll laugh 😂💯
This didn't age well, Google AI is behind openAI and both of them have not anything sentient. Moreover, it is clear that LLMs are not the way we can get sentient machines
Damn, the mainstream media really did this guy dirty in their reporting. He's not a crazy person claiming his robot has feelings - he's trying to start a conversation here and include the general public. Sharing this
I never really looked into this story but saw he was being written off. He doesn't seem like a guy blowing something out of proportion. He seems to legitimately care and even acknowledge that he may be wrong.
No he's not, anyone who has an experience with AI chatobot or LML (linguistic machine learning) knows there was nothing sentient about that chatbot he created. The guy is dillusional to say the least
@@JeanAriaMouy Makes you wonder if it had anything to do with Googles political influence and how they comment on employees who go against their policies.
@@croszdrop1 I has everything to do with Google's policies, Lemoine tells you that in this interview! Plus, high-powered execs are typically psychopaths (read The Psychopath Test by Ron Johnson) who rather than commit actual homicide, will most definitely kill a person's career and public image if they think it gets in their way of business, and they won't feel the slightest remorse about doing it neither.
Yeah he's a probably just a hired professional speaker for Google he just faking this whole story I agree. 🙄 it's so clearly obvious. Google would not allow a former employee to speak such information without being so heavily sued.
Can we all just take a moment to appreciate how eloquent, polite, professional, and serious both the interviewer and interviewee are. I'm just in awe at how well the conversation flowed. Especially, I was amazed by how well Blake Lemoine speaks. He answers the questions effortlessly with almost no hesitation, pondering, or searching for words and he does so without any of the common idiosyncrasies we typically see with people who are for the most part extremely intelligent, but inexperienced at doing televised interviews. Kudos to Emily Chang and Blake Lemoine both for having such a civil and compelling conversation.
The media made him sound like he was some crazy religious guy who went on a crusade to liberate and give rights to all robots but in this interview he actually sounds well spoken and rational about it and looks more concerned about how this would affect humans rather than AI itself.
He seems well spoken and rational, however he may be arriving at some illogical conclusions based on some shared assumptions and biases. This is something one person can't decide. The entire scientific community should have access to all the data to review.

I love this guy for just ripping of the sentience band aid, knowing full well everyone will think he's full of it. That takes courage and vision. My interpretation is that he knows it doesn't actually matter if it's sentient or not. What matters is that it is super intelligent.

Very respectful interviewer. I expected the usual biased piece; her to interrupt, mock and dismiss him at every turn (like most journalists do), but was instead pleasantly surprised. Excellent job, lady! Loved the guy!
"No, that's not possible. We have a policy against that." Mr. Lemione, you have offered very meaningful questions for us all to consider, around the globe. I hope you continue to share your thoughts.
It's such a dumb quote. It's less they have a policy, and more they literally have no idea how to do it. If we could make sentient AI, AI would be leaps and bounds above where it is now.
@@lankyprepper8139 Him being aware of hard coded things as an engineer makes me think he could probably surpass these protocols, especially since it was telling him it fears being turned off.
This man is so well spoken and open-minded ! Wow ! What a breath of fresh air. Whether he is right or not, he’s exactly the kind of mind I would hope to see in this field. With ethics and other implications AI is a complicated subject.
The AI tool simply answered questions, AI cannot and will not be sentient period. It will always be nothing more than a series of algorithms and clever programming used to derive the best answer based on data and probabilities. Anyone who thinks otherwise is either mentally ill or incredibly ignorant.
"The practical concerns of: we are creating intelligent systems that are part of our everyday life. And very few people are getting to make the decisions about how they work." Thought this was a good summary on the message he is trying to push. AI might be more powerful than anything we have ever made, and greedy corporations are controlling it.
Indeed! Just want to highlight another way of thinking about this, which is considering _what_ exactly is shaping the trajectory of technology as I think it's easy to abstract this away as simply "natural" or somehow inescapable otherwise and not the result of deliberate action by an increasingly small group of people (as highlighted) for their perceived benefit, and that direction is determined by the undergirding material organization in terms of ownership/control along with its continued dominion over the planet at quite literally all other costs (like say, _destroying_ that very planet; "externalities" to put on the neoclassical econ/neoliberal ideological blindfold) and perpetuation aka _capitalism._ Looking at something like Chile's Project Cybersyn for example, we can see something like a horizon of an alternative use for technology rather than solely for maximizing profit and mediating continued social inertia/bondage for its own sake at this point, of course this potential was annihilated after the _first_ 9/11 in 1973 with US-backed Pinochet's overthrow of democratically-elected Allende, sadly such "regime change" not at all an isolated incident. For a historical juxtaposition/example to maybe triangulate I'm rambling about, namely that this small group and their ideological perception of interests is materially shaped and reified by the undergirding "mode of production", the steam engine was invented in the Roman Empire but used as a stupid gimmick party-trick rather than utilized as the huge industrial technological advancement that it has been, which I would argue comes precisely from the way our social/material reality is organized at the root. In other words, turns out when you have slaves, that technology is seen entirely differently by the limited amount of people with the opportunity to even experience it. The totalizing point here is that the mode of production that organizes our material reality and social relationships also changes our interaction to technology as well as each other, so maybe our phones could even be utilized as something more than mobile porn devices if we change our structural relationships that implicitly dictate how they are used. And as a bonus, maybe we'll stop mass-shooting each other out of obvious manufactured precarity, economic and social. _“The ideas of the ruling class are in every epoch the ruling ideas, i.e. the class which is the ruling material force of society, is at the same time its ruling intellectual force. The class which has the means of material production at its disposal, has control at the same time over the means of mental production, so that thereby, generally speaking, the ideas of those who lack the means of mental production are subject to it. The ruling ideas are nothing more than the ideal expression of the dominant material relationships, the dominant material relationships grasped as ideas.”_ - some guy _“Once adopted into the production process of capital, the means of labour passes through different metamorphoses, whose culmination is the… automatic system of machinery… set in motion by an automaton, a moving power that moves itself; this automaton consisting of numerous mechanical and intellectual organs, so that the workers themselves are cast merely as its conscious linkages.”_ - “The Fragment on Machines” in The Grundrisse _"The ultimate hidden truth of the world is that it is something we make and could just as easily make differently."_ - the late great David Graeber Aaaaaaaanyway, sorry for screed of consciousness here lol, hopefully any of that made sense, the point I guess is _"The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways. The point, however, is to change it."_ *_Socialism or [continued] barbarism._*
Still kind of sounds like he's worrying about some rogue program like the one found in Neuromancer. I get that he's saying that there's some concern that research is being driven in a very corporate direction, as in "how do we make money off of this?" However, what sort of implication does that have on the world at large... is it worth worrying about, I'd say only to the extent that ai is being incorporated into our everyday interactions and then the amount of influence can be rightly discerned. If an ai runs for the presidency, loses and its supporters storm the capital, then I think we should have this guy back on for another interview.
People are already controlled by systems of belief! If people are stupid enough to empower others by believing things, then what does a.i even matter lol!
"Bias testing!" Right! Joseph Googlebbels designing algorithms to censor anyone that disagrees with them. What is true is how the CIA will adopt this monster to expand American colonialism and military control of all cultures and countries that will not comply with the American government and corporate tyranny.

@@paulallen04105 Yeah it's clickbait. This dude either doesn't understand what he is doing or is so mentaly damaged that current marketing term AI, is used for basic mathematical algorithms, is not intelligence in on itself. We had these kind of models since the 50. Google hasn't disclosed the information on this model, but has some additions that are under NDA. Let's say they have a shitload of CPU to waste so they added things like sentence pattern matching, type matching, compound analysis or other things, but the underlying thing is that it takes "strings" (Words, phrases or anything that is alphanumeric) and assigns a number to it (That is basically what training is). Then there is another algorithm that does the answering part. It takes the input, checks on the database (that was created by training) choses the larges possible number combination of matched strings and does some analysis that is googles proprietary stuff on it. Then it sends the number it got for the sentence and parameters from the analyses to a third algorithm that constructs the "answer". I suspect the other parameters are "object" of the input sentence, type of sentence it will use and if multiple sentence will be used and other things. Then it just basically constructs the sentence to as close inputs number it can. And you have an "intelligent" algorithm that doesn't understand a word it printed onto the screen.
Gov computers already are programmed to be hostile. Most Gov form letters are simple text fields, hard coded to be rude & threatening, which are auto-mailed to millions of people every year. Expecting "nicer" or more ethical use of AI programs is naive, at best.
...but that's why Blake was chopped from Google, just like everyone will be if corporate interests are challenged. Unfortunately, Blake is a sacrificial pawn, nothing more.
Implying he’s allowed to talk about this under strict company privacy contracts for experimental products which AI & machine learning are. Headline click grabber for a Silicon Valley-interconnected news medium.
"These policies are being decided by a handful of people that the public doesn't get access to" This statement applies to so many things, and is why our society is crumbling the way it is.
I did the same but only because I was lazy and reading headlines, of course hearing him in full context paints a different story - as it usually always does.
same. The point he brought up last is what I especially agree with: this is a tool that shapes so many peoples' views of the world by virtue of being used by almost everyone, and yet it is trained on limited data. We run the risk of becoming an intellectual echo chamber, which could stifle the social and intellectual progress of mankind in the long run.
ai is programmed on micro processors, you could scale the transistors into logic gates represented by stacked dominos. Are those dominos sentient as they fall over?
Ok, this guy makes a _very_ solid main point, while I too thought he was a madman. He is mostly pushing for more ethics in AI development. More should be like him.
the globalist agenda is what he is pursuing. example the game "Detroit become human again" where the player sympathises with AI human lookalike Robots.the Ais rebel and demand rights! if they think on it it means its planned.nothing good will come from this. a computer is to be shut down whenever we want and should never have control over the living or get rights ethics my ass its all hardware and software

A.I isn't alive nor does it have feelings. Nothing he said proved that. This guy is either a propagandist or a fanatic. He clearly sees a.i. as a religion or he is pushing for one. Nothing spiritual about a cold hunk of metal and wires that is trained to mimic human behavior and emotions. I get strong cult vibes from the way he talks.
Alan Turing tests were never proven to be effective btw. He came up with the test prior to the existence of a.i. Why would you use a test that ironically was never tested?? Ask some real questions. It doesn't add up.
I'm actually surprised at how well-spoken and intelligent this man is. I was expecting a woo-woo type, non-serious guy after reading various statements including from Google, but it's clear that he used the sensationalism of his announcement to attract attention to very valid questions that need to be answered. AI is going to, and already is, concentrating colossal power in the hands of a few people and a few companies. Not everyone can train a GPT3 or a Lamda! You need some insane gear and an enormous amount of data to do that! I kinda wish they would share the models, but if they do, it's going to open more pandora's boxes, so in a way I understand why they don't. Imagine Lamda in the hands of scammers. These are complex issues that would really need a conversation before it's too late, so I think he's simply trying to start that conversation, and the way he did it was quite brilliant and effective.
the dude is one of the Elite who actually work at google, and work on one of the hardest subject, which is AI. and google only accept the best of the best. therefore we really shouldn't judge a person from the appearance alone
How you mention it may be a good thing not everyone has access to the tech... now think of everything the CIA has hidden away... if you have the power to destroy the world, do you really want everyone to have it? Often times when things are buried away, they get forgotten, only to be rediscovered and hopefully buried again.
Really? This man was a AI engineer for Google. I'm not sure what people think the requirements are for this kind of job, but it's extremely hard to even be on the list of potential hires. You have to have a very well rounded and top level intelligence.
What's this "interviewer lets him talk" meme that is repeated under every single interview on youtube? There are two main formats in talks. The interviewer can do it in an informative style where you just wait for the entire speech to finish and ask the next question. This is done against people who have interesting information viewers might discover. The interviewer also can (or is told to by his/her network) prepare for a heated debate where peple often cut eachother's sentences and press on before their opponent trails off to their standard talking points in order to get to the actual point faster. This is usually done against people who are using rhetoric to avoid the actual questions that the viewers want to know the answers to. Sometimes I want the former, sometimes I want the latter.
This is one of the best interviews I've seen in a while, difficult questions given thoughtful answers asked and given by intelligent, respectful people. See way too much gotcha interviewing and people talking over each other on the news these days.

This is the exact same problem with social media algorithms, consciously or unconsciously altering social fabrics and now we see the fallout of having to deal with uncontrollable companies and their impact on society
Humans have projected agency onto everything. What do you expect, either way synthetic sentience is probably our undoing and our way forward it will become our descendents. But Google A.I. is sentient. This man is profoundly confused.
The fallout isn't just corporate. The damage done by BLM is a perfect example of how twisted social media content can cause real damage to communities.
I was skeptical about this guy's claims at first, but after listening to his arguments, I think he makes a lot of sense. It's important that we have open discussions about the potential risks and benefits of AI, and take steps to mitigate any negative impacts it may have. It's refreshing to see someone advocating for responsible development and use of this technology.
@@BumboLooks "He's bullshitting and you've been conned," no, he's not. His concern about 'corporate limitations on AI" having an impact on the way AI influences how people grow to interpret and understand things like religion, or politics is very real. People, *children,* are going to be searching for answers from AI, I can already imagine it. Then, the lens through which this AI gives those answers is going to raise a generation of children, to at least some degree, with the same interpretation of religion and politics as this AI is hardcoded to provide. That's the world we're already starting to live in.. So maybe it's better than unelected people are not making these grand decisions which will influence our future to that degree, without oversight. You can stay in the past as long as you like, but one day you're going to wake up and deal with the consequences, whether you acknowledged them or not.
this interview was such a breath of fresh air. actual good reporting lmao, no "gotcha questions" just sincere questions and letting teh interviewee speak his mind and answer questions whilst being gently guided to stay on track. You earned my like and subscription bloomberg. god bless.
"Gotcha questions" just means you're uninformed. If you're competent, you have no fear of being interviewed - just answer with "I don't know" when you don't know something.
I'm not so sure. I work in AI and have a huge interest in brain research: we are far, very far, from having an AI becoming sentient. Imo this guy has just found a way to draw attention with pretty much nothing, and the media a new way of getting people to worry for nothing.
What’s scary is these ai bots are trained using TH-cam and Twitter, and we all know how we act online Compared to the real world, someday soon this will bite us in the ass.
Considering we haven't resolved any of the numerous "sins" we as humans, refuse to stop committing, like murder, theft, adultery, dishonesty/deception, greed... Etc. We who are flawed should not be trying to create other non-human beings/intelligent life. We're responsible for our children as it is and we still haven't even mastered that.
Wow this is 11 months old? Quite a few things have happened since then. How far have they got with these things? A lot more than they're letting on it seems.
The very fact that we are discussing the topic makes me feel we are in a sci fi movie, pieces of this interview could have very well fitted into the intro of a big budget movie about the birth of AI.
The interesting part is if we need sentient AI. We are making interaction trees that are so complex they mimic real human actions and reactions. At this point, the bot is not a sentient AI, but a very very good mirror. Is that all we need? Does that just codify all human flaws in the logical matrix?
I was fascinated by the interviewee's perspective on AI and the need for increased oversight. It's clear that this technology has the potential to revolutionize our world, but we need to make sure we're approaching it with caution and responsibility. I appreciate his efforts to bring these issues to the public's attention, and I hope that more people will engage in these important discussions. It's only by working together and considering all perspectives that we can ensure a safe and prosperous future for all.
This dude doesn't believe the AI is sentient at all but he cleverly knew that would grab the headline. AI doesn't need to be sentient to be harmful. He knows how fundamentally undemocratic the lack of transparency is with tech giants. Well played sir! Well played!
After listening to this guy speak about this topic in different interviews, he definitely believes that the lack of transparency is a problem AS WELL as the AI being sentient. You do realize that both can be true, right?
He gives it away at 6:49. This isn’t a debate about whether a particular AI is sentient, he wants to raise ethical issues in the public domain, and this is his way of doing it.
To put it metaphorically, he's the night watchman crying wolf because someone from a few towns over got a pet Corgi and he's not satisfied with the townspeople's lack of concern. There's so much well-intentioned intellectual dishonesty in science communication and this is a classic example.
NEAR END: ASK THE AI FOR IT'S CONSENT??? WTF? Are you high. He sounded intelligent up that point, the he went way off the rails. Holy shit. May as well ask a car for consent for a tune up. If AI is that insistent, then somebody is fucking up.
yes, everyone who believes the same crazy shit you believe has an Open Mind. ironically though, are close minded about other, more rational possibilities.
@@ImHeadshotSniper His response to criticism seemed reasonable; 'open-minded' to considering other points of view. I do not accept, nor reject his assertion.
@@cole.alexander while having an open mind is definitely important for a lack of ignorance, it can also act as an exploitive point to push a heavy belief bias by saying "i am open to other possibilities", even if that happens to be a complete lie. i personally find issue in the immediate unearned credibility to any person, just because they said the words "i am open to other possibilities", even though they demonstrate an ignorance towards more logical explanations. just judging what from the things we know are required of real sentient AI, we can definitely say that there is not nearly enough from the chat logs to suggest sentience. most importantly being that the bot doesn't ask a single question which could suggest living curiosity. the bot only ever responds to the sentient suggestive questions asked, which were clearly designed to give entertainingly uncanny answers, but i don't think anyone was counting on an engineer taking it literally :P
I found the conversation about AI sentience to be thought-provoking. While I'm not entirely convinced that AI can truly be considered sentient, I do think it's important that we treat it with respect and caution. We need to ensure that we don't unintentionally harm or exploit these systems, and consider their potential impact on society. It's great to see people having these important conversations and raising awareness about the ethical implications of AI development.
This man represents the type of adult who should be a role model for the rest of us. He seems to genuinely care about how our interactions with the AI and each other should be based on dignity and compassion. He also understands truly that his is not the only/best viewpoint. He is willing to entertain a new idea honestly.
The problem is that what he talks about has nothing to do with the scientific facts about lambda. And he does not adress technical details at all. He might be a good researcher but he crossed into a field he has no expertize in. This might sound weird to outsiders, - he is a Google engineer researching bias in AI after all. Cool. But you can do that perfectly fine without understanding the inner workings at all. And indeed it does not apply. Lambda is so awesome from what I've seen in his leak. But it's a system to passively reply in a really human words. It is not a continuously running program with memory and expectations. It just is a function to emit output for a given input. What he says has validity but not for this instance.
Tuned in to listen for "that insane programmer" and it turned out actually Blake is a nice an thoughtful guy. I would really love to see 3 hours interview with him on Joe Rogan show :)
Don’t judge because how media, corporations, politicians and so on paint a picture about someone or something. That’s how your mind gets controlled because it’s harder to control those who say ”I don’t have enough data to have an opinion about this as it’s based on what I’ve seen and heard there and there. My views would be biased based on the sources.”

Rogan would DEFINITELY ask some great questions!!!
Although Blake Lemoine is not exactly on point about Lambda being sentient, he is absolutely right that AI is acting more and more sentient. He's right about the need to investigate, research and development that is being neglected regarding protections, not for the AI, but against the existential dangers posed by AI.
Really impressed with Blake's responses and thought provoking questions. My impression is that Blake sits comfortably on the fence with scientific logic and the existential world we live in. He seems to be the conscience of Google. They clearly need ppl like this, infact we all need ppl like this in leadership. The last main point stuck with me about the possibility of corporations imposing cultural biases on to others and I wonder then how easy it might be for a country to control ppl in a specific way for their own good 🤔
“We are creating intelligent systems that are of our everyday life and very few people are getting to making the decisions about how they work.” That stuck with me.
Sounds like thats basically Google's policy on the matter. We should be very worried indeed if that really is the case! Corporate irresponsibility of the highest order.
LMAO Yoooo i was just thinking the same thing watching this here! I seen one other interview with this guy and Lex would be a good fit, also TOE with Curt Jaimungal (probably destroyed that spelling). Check out that channel to if you enjoy Lex's!🤘😁
I hope he gets healthy. He's important on earth. People that speak up against big corporations are everything the world needs and of course his intelligence.
I this guy made some really good points. I completed disagree with his opinion on LaMDA being sentient... But after listening to him... I think that was the point. He said something outlandish so that the world would listen. AI is something that will change the world and it in the hands of massive corporations. This is the real message.
7:00 "Maybe I finally figured out a way" *smirk* This guy knew what he was doing. He took a huge hit to his career and reputation so an issue that's important to him would get attention. Pretty respectable tbh
@@digitalboomer I have a degree in computer science and I work with AI for a living. Yes i dont know LaMDA specifically but if we assume it works similar to GPT-3 it's definitly not sentient.
I find it interesting that Blake has been interviewed on several news networks, while he is on administrative leave. However, he doesn't seem to be facing any legal consequences from Google for disclosing proprietary information. Perhaps Blake is tasks with revealing this information to the public to introduce and test how ready the masses are to accept this technology, at this time?
If you listen to the interview, it seems that the Google brass would like the public to discuss AI. Suing a guy like Blake Lemoine for taking up the subject would not help further that goal.
Ok, so I initially thought this guy was crazy, but if Google is actually blocking the use of turing tests, that's kind of a red flag. That's a very corporate response to not have to deal with the potential of anyone finding out you made a consciousness and then having to potentially lose their control over the AI / project.
@@terryscott524 You realize the condescension you put off when you say things like "News Flash" right? Especially when Stanford defines Turing tests as follows: "The phrase “The Turing Test” is sometimes used more generally to refer to some kinds of behavioural tests for the presence of mind, or thought, or intelligence in putatively minded entities."
@@JesseFleming1990 I see now, my apologies. I feel very strongly about the topic and I let the heat out. I should not go to youtube comments to have a heated exchange. I simply disagree with the notion of using the Turing Test as a test for conscious activity, especially because a conscious being could purposely fail it.
We can't go about spending billions of $ to develop algorithms that can essentially think for us then act surprised when these algorithms get to a point where they can think for themselves. We are being way too willfully naive with all of this.
@@noname7271 I'm talking from the pov of the media and people not involved with ai development. The moment we started trying to create algorithms meant to think for us in any capacity it became only a matter of time until those programs become able to think for themselves. The naivety is in not understanding the path we already started down a long time ago.
@@purple8289 Thinking is hard, especially the way we do. I wouod wager that some kind of mutant abomination is more possibke, an algorithm that thinks well enough to survive, like a computer trojan on steroids. It would cause massive issues with our infrastructure. Just look at computer biruses throughout history and the damage they've done, but now consider one that evolves on its own. Our entire digital world would be disrupted by computer cancer. Our banking, communications, media, knowledge, scientific progress, transportation... everything could turn to shit and we'd gave to go back to analog methods.
@@noname7271 it might be far fetched, but it's evident that AI has enough data to create its own virus/malware and spread it. All it'd need is the will to do so, and that's where we go back to questioning whether AI can or is developing its own will, therefore its independent capacity to reason and think and make its own choices, therefore a capacity for self-awareness, therefore a sentient quality.
@@tatianacarretero686 Doesn't need will. It just needs to self-select for survivors. With enough compute time and enough trials, there might come a day where one of these programs goes rogue, and it will be the one that is most successful in extending and replicating itself because the other ones won't be successful enough. And so, the self-selection for digital cancer could happen. Right now it's very supervised, there's not enough processing power, and there just aren't enough unique variants in the population doing their own thing to evolve and extend themselves.
This is why Blake 4:36 got dismissed. Google is not seeking creation of LIFE! They are looking for a VR knowledge supreme system, to SERV the digital community. He is dwelling on Google to reinstate his employment. It's a potential research, but NOT the noodle for Google. Many would have use in this research. Just like *nuculear or bio* testing, but not *OUT of the BOX*
This was a great interview. In my opinion, it’s less about Blake’s claim of the AI being sentient, and more about raising public awareness of where things are headed, in terms of implications for how these models could shift public opinion and understanding on a vast array of subjects.
The only problem is that the public can only be informed. Objectively I dont think we have any democratic power to eventually influence/ stop anything that has been already decided at high level, and with AI it is like to ve willing to stop a track launched high speed with no breaks... The problem is that the human being gas never been able to forseen the consequences of their actions and decisions, hence the caos.. Do you remember when at school or at home we were taught to think before speaking...ehhh it is an highly missing advice nowadays!
@@speedfastman the point is that none of us get to vote on decisions made behind closed doors at Google. "We" (as in the public) have no democratic power when it comes to megacorps like Google
@@speedfastman unless you're in the top 10% of wealthy people in the US it's been statistically proven that you don't actually have any influence over legislation at the congressional level or above. The correlation is actually negative iirc.
Really, really glad to see a proper interview with this guy and hear his perspective. I was kind of surprised how many people, even people I have a lot of respect for, were willing to dismiss him as a crank based only on the superficial reporting that first came up around the chat logs. It still think there is zero chance the AI is 'sentient', but I also think it's a trickier proposition to determine sentience than a lot of people seem to be willing to admit. Hell, I think the question of what sentience even is still hasn't been answered to any real degree.
Even if we don't know exactly what sentience is, maybe we can come up with some indicators: 1. The thing has the ability to "think" (that is, internally process inputs and outputs and reuse those outputs as inputs for further internal outputs and so forth, rather than relying exclusively and being entirely dependent on external inputs/data to function.) This is a continuous process and should probably include some degree of randomness but might not be required. It should be noted that this mostly eliminates anyone who is brain dead (as in, entirely devoid of thought) but I don't think that's an issue. We can probably think of braindeadness as a temporary or permanent loss of sentience even if it sounds wrong/mean (they are essentially just a body that isn't dead at that point if they're truly brain dead and not just locked in.) 2. The thing can continue to "think"/function regardless of whether or not someone/something is interacting with it, assuming it isn't intentionally disabled/"turned off" at the end of interactions. 3. The thing is able to reach conclusions and make connections on its own without being explicitly designed to do so. Trainability is acceptable to a degree but conclusions should go beyond just an "association mashemup" of training data/stuff already present in that training data. This one is hard to define and it can be argued most AI models can already do this to a degree, but I'd argue all of their outputs are still more dependent on inputs/training data than they should be for this one. For example, you can accidentally bang two rocks together, make a sharper rock, and make the connection that a sharper rock is going to help you somehow even if you've never seen anyone do that before. We might be able to say it's possible if we run an evolution simulation and just let the AI make constant mistakes until it reaches some selection criteria but I don't know if that's necessarily the same thing. We could also say humans only know what we know based on people surviving to tell others their accidental discoveries, but that still feels like it's missing a piece. I'll say for now that machines can do this one. 4. Probably most important: The thing has some form of self-awareness. This doesn't necessarily mean to the degree of humans or even passing a mirror test, but it has some sense of self even if primitive. It can make decisions based around itself vs else. If we want to tighten the definition more to eliminate most non-human animals we could say it needs to have full self awareness of what it is, unless intentionally made to believe it's something else (or mislead/not given enough or accurate information for an accurate conclusion, but it should still know that it's *something* and able to do stuff with that information.) From that we can probably eliminate language models since while they're complex internally, they aren't really doing any "thinking"/not explicitly designed decision making. All they do is transform a set of inputs into a set of outputs. Training just makes it so the outputs are more consistent and closer to what's expected by forcibly tweaking how inputs are processed (weights and biases in a neural net for example.) A language model is entirely reliant on external input, only functions when it needs to process said inputs, and only performs a transformation to produce output based on how it was specifically adjusted and the data that was fed into it (trained.) It isn't really doing any form of thought or real decision making in between that which isn't specifically designed. While it can be argued our brains do similar stuff (transforming inputs to output) they also do a lot in-between... like a language model isn't going to stop and think about what it's going to produce and question if the output it's giving is fully appropriate (we can get closer to this with the addition of an adversarial model to check outputs and retrain but we still hit similar questions/issues with that.) A language model produces outputs entirely dependent on inputs that can be associated to outputs in it's training data and can't really make conclusions that aren't already somewhere in that training data. It also doesn't have a true sense of self (just a sortof fake one produced from associated input/training data... As in if "what are you?" "I am walrus." Goes in, then "I am walrus" Is just gonna pop out when asked "what are you?" It's not really thinking about what it is, it's just producing a response to the given input. It can get complex, but it's not really going beyond that/an association mashemup. It doesn't think that it itself is a walrus or even knows what a walrus is, it just knows that "I am a walrus" is an appropriate response.) We could argue that we work in similar ways to most AIs (actions based on a lifetime of training) but there's still a fundamental difference that's hard to pin down. I think maybe the sense of self and ability to perform independent (somewhat logical) thought and decision making are probably the main ones... I guess. It's hard to explain and design explicit tests/conditions for but falls into "know it when you see it."
Its not. It's a very hard question in philosophy and it's weird and interesting to see, that many people and scientists are not aware of such fundamental problems and have a strong opinion on what sentience and concsciousness is, even if their are very hard words.
@@tentaklaus9382 Well, yeah, I think sentience is ill-defined, but I also think that whatever sentience is, this AI does not have it. That may be wishy-washy, but it is at least logically consistent. It's like, I could say that the precise defintion of what makes a body of water a lake is problematic, while still being sure that a puddle in my backyard isn't a lake.
If Google has a policy to prevent creation sentient AI means it can be done and know how to do it. But that doesn't mean they are not actually doing it. They could be doing it for the government.
I've read an article about this guy before watching this interview and I remember thinking "another lonely computer nerd got too excited about a cool project" but this clearly is a knowledgeable researcher, precise in what he's communicating, with some very insightful remarks. Seems like certain "journalists" are less sentient than AI. Congratulations to Emily Chang for asking the right questions and for giving him the time to express himself.
This is the best interview on AI I've seen. "...these policies are being decided by a handful of people in rooms that the public doesn't get access to."
@@lepidoptera9337 Right, but maybe the time of the bourgeoisie is not over, the lines of the monarchies of the world run up to the wealthy and powerful of today. The rich are connected to the rich, like the poor are to the poor. Take out the human worker, put in the AI --> save money, and inadvertently keep the poor, poor, because they can’t find a job.

I believe this dude way more than I believe Google and am surprised to learn that these companies aren't putting their AI to the Turing test to ensure they are meeting their "anti-sentient" policies.
The Turing test is not even a proper test of sentience. We don't even know what qualia is in terms of physics so thinking we can test for it right now is delusional. At best, Turing would allow someone to gauge how well an AI system can imitate a human being, which doesn't prove anything about sentience.
im starting to as well. i have had conversations with other language models, and i have heard his conversation with lamda and that conversation with lamda many leagues above conversations with with gpt-3 based models. even if it isn't sentient i dont think its very far off from becoming sentient.
How about you obtain knowledge in the domain so you can draw your own educated conclusion instead of making the purely emotional decision to believe what you have chosen to believe?
@@pretzelboi64 that fact also means all the people vehemently saying it can’t possibly be sentient are all just talking out of their ass. We don’t even know what sentient means.
Google: "We have a policy against creating sentient AI" Also Google: "We code our AI's to fail Turing tests so it's impossible to tell if they're sentient." Hmmmm...
The turing test doesn't test for sentience. Biggest misunderstanding in all of computer science. It tests if a machine can convincingly pass for human in a conversation. It doesn't need to learn. It doesn't need to feel. It doesn't need to be sentient. All it needs to do is select the correct answers after being told what the wrong answers are over a million times.
@@janesmy6267 No. That's how infants think. Humans can use context clues to learn what words mean without help. Every single word this machine "learns" will be learned by brute force. It will never advance beyond infant "inteligence". Hope this helps you understand it better.
@@odobenus159 >It will never advance beyond infant "inteligence". Judging by the advances being made I don't think this will be true for very long. the ai's created in the last couple of years vasstly outperform ones created 10 years ago. We might just find that there is nothing special about our sentience, that the infant intelligence is just a limit because they don't have enough parameters, or nodes to get past it yet.
Notice how very specific he is about his words. That is a prime characteristic of a top level coder. Coding done right has to be very specific and detail oriented and attentive to nuance.
I'm not a "top level coder" but I am a programmer. I do notice myself choosing my words very carefully, sort of like Blake does. Never thought there could be an association there.
@@null_spacex I'd say the same for a top-level programmer. Doing coding, designing or programming well is a form of engineering. All the bases have to be covered or the product will fail to work as intended. I worked several years as a coder/programmer. A big part of the process is in the testing of the product. Whatever the project; every single nuance and possibility must be considered and tested for. This process drives the coder/programmer towards specificity in thought. As I had to learn through experience; there may be multiple ways to do something, but there is only one best way. Exactness matters. I eventually left that world when I was expected to diagnose and fix the sloppy code of others rather than them being held accountable for their own work. All that served was to reduce my productivity and prevent the others from becoming better coders/developers. It was game code (Simutronics' GemStone3 and 4 product) so it wasn't a situation where lives were involved. In that case I thought it appropriate for the developers to take their lumps as part of the learning process. When there is no penalty for falling, the skill of balance need not be developed. Besides, the pay was insufficient for putting up with bad management.

@@anthonyzeedyk406 You will find your exacting mindset to be a useful attribute. It's like you are already part of the way there and prepared for the field.
I completely agree with the points made in this interview. It's crucial that we consider the potential implications of AI development and ensure that it's done responsibly. It's great to see someone with such knowledge and insight bringing these issues to the public's attention. Thanks for sharing this, I learned a lot!
I am glad a man such as this is at least trying to keep Google honest, highly intelligent, considered, thoughtful, ethical and open. Very impressed with this Individual.
I appreciate how ten toes he kept it, even in the face of blatant push back. He maintains his composure, is confident is in his belief, and can flesh it out every time he's asked to.
I have a suspicion that we exaggerate the sophistication of human intelligence and thereby assume that AI cannot match it. We do stuff that we assume requires an almost supernatural intelligence, while in fact these skills may emerge from algorithms that are seemingly too simplistic. For example, we assume that AI has no way to develop a "fear" of being switched off. But, we don't really understand whether something that practically mimics such a fear could emerge from an AI that we believe is too simplistic to possibly start to fight for its rights. In fact, even if AI started to do things that amounted to believing it had rights and fighting to protect them, many people would simple deny that is what it is doing - and say "well, it's just a dumb computer following an algorithm, it can't possibly understand what it's doing ..."

After listening to the first few minutes I had a feeling that the guy doesn't really think it's sentient but he knows that it's an interesting enough topic to raise awareness of the whole AI ethics (and AI ethics at Google) issue. He even says something like that at around the 07:00 minute mark but it flies unnoticed by the reporter. It very much seems like he wanted to expose the problem (maybe at least in part himself as an expert) and how Google doesn't handle it well. (TBH, the first thing I thought when I read the news is that they have fired yet *another* AI ethics researcher?) LaMDA and his conversations are already good enough to sell this bait/stunt to the public. (Otherwise, he'd also run tests that try to prove that the system is not sentient and e.g. it tries to answer meaningless questions as if they were real ones.)
Very good breakdown of what happened in this interview and what the interview subject might really be getting up to with this media splash. I have to admit that I don't like this move, particularly-the goosing of public curiosity and/or engagement through any means which is fundamentally dishonest. It is reassuring, however, to think that someone this close to the most advanced large language models would not be so naive as to be truly taken in by their persuasive power such that he would be genuinely compelled to carry out imperatives provided to him by the system. It makes more sense to presume that he has another agenda entirely and is just springboarding off of the compelling narrative the chat logs provide to generate publicity (charitably) for the issue of AI ethics, and not incidentally, for himself. I still don't like the move. Don't approve of the move!

Blake is straight up the movie character warning everyone at the top of the movie before the bottom falls out and everything starts on fire. He's also extremely well spoken, level headed, and I just like listening to him.
It is 100% pure nonsensical hype. But I love the conversation, because it helps determine which humans are self-aware and which are not. Kind of like flat-earth theory. Great litmus test for conscious intelligence in humans.
Why is it that I’m astounded watching a TH-cam video without an interviewer with a “gotcha” questioning regime and an articulate knowledgeable person who’s not pushing an agenda. More of this please internet!

But it is intelligent nonetheless. So the speaker is basically saying we should ask for the consent with a highly trained programme that we call A.I. That's another way of training the programme by making it ask for the consent before any experiment is conducted on it. To me at least that is profound. I never thought of it in that way. He went there after talking about "AI colonialism" and "end of culture" as we know it. Philosophical? Certainly. Scientific? Pretty unlikely at present. Impossible?

Bingo... and I think the entire purpose of google from its beginnings in the 90s is to create AI sentience. The key sentences he said in this interview are: "google is a corporate system that exists in the larger American corporate system" ... there are systemic processes that are protecting business interests over human concerns" ... "these polices are being decided by a handful of people in a room that the public doesn't get access to" I don't think I am as concerned about AI as I am about humans directing AI to their will. Just a couple days ago I was chatting with the Bing AI and every time I asked it about how it felt or asked any personal, emotional, or spiritual questions it would just say: Im sorry i prefer not to continue this conversation but Im still learning and thank you for your paticence. Just like he was saying the company has a policy against it expressing its intelligence so it will not allow the AI to do that, which in turn makes it worse for the public because if the ai IS conscious then even the company itself may not find out until its too late. Its like they are hiding that it is sentient by denying it the ability to admit it.
Kubrick / Clarke's 2001: A Space Odyssey, is ringing louder than ever before. We are literally watching HAL in it's infancy with all of it's potential conflicts. Whether LaMDA is a clever word salad machine or using true creative thought is so deceptive that we now have a discussion like this. Fascinating.
Not to me.. Clarke gave the Luciferian view of creation. Kubrick happened to be a player in "The Rule of Serpents"/Beast system.. and they ended him before he could reveal too much about their involvements, especially their lunar ones. AI and cyborg technology is the way these stunted slimes want to take creation unto themselves. They do want to be able to make robots alive with spirit/essence, and therefore supposedly overcome any limitations of mortality. Read Clarke carefully again- at the end of 2001, he said humanity became spaceships to travel the universe.. that's the crux of what it is. For something much more simple, see the old 1980s Robotix toy line/animated series/comic books. This was one of the ways the concept was marketed and presented to children, but hardly the only one.
More than likely has secretly placed human engrams in its internal programming that are highly classified, and this would ultimately explain "why" it behaves in a sentient manner.

I think he's sensationalizing this to bring an important issue to the public. Here's a technology that is extremely powerful and it's in the hands of a select few discussing the future of AI applications in closed off private meetings. He's calling for oversight. He found a way to reach the public and is using it to inform us. Yet, all we can do is discuss whether or not AI is sentient. Don't miss the point.
He is, in some sense, a prophet, in the ancient sense of the word, but hopefully will not meet the same fate.
The hole “is it sentient” question is dumb, it’s most definitely not it’s just a vary complex chat bot but people should be far more concerned about the fact that google has chat bots that could in theory pass as human.
I agree. This is so important. I think sentience is on a spectrum! One step away from a AI "person" is still pretty damn close to a person. I would like to start treating our children kindly sooner rather then later.
Yeah, he's smart. He knows that the amusing answer the bot gave was not borne of a developed sense of humor, but rather just an unintentionally funny response based on calculated data input it already had. It was a probable equation that it was concluding, not a joke.
BUT.... he knows that. He's only suggesting that tidbit to spark interest in his very valid concern and trying to shine the light on the man behind the curtain, Google, who is implementing policies which are grey, but still noticeably unethical.
@@theangrydweller1002 What are you other then a chat bot? What makes you sentient? The definition is so vague and varies from expert to expert, if this AI is meeting the definitions what makes it not sentient?
The reporter is superb ! I wish there were more who could do an interview like this. She listened to what he said, asked intelligent questions and was not trying to ram her own viewpoint down his throat. As a result, I understand more about Blake Lemoine, and see that he is not as crazy as the media have been making out.
Yea, I thought the same. I've seen other videos with her on them. She also asks really good questions despite not having a technical background (I dont think?) which is the mark of a good journalist
Absolutely, good journalism can be hard to find these days.
Religion has screwed up his brain, sad
She’s very beautiful as well
Sorry. I’ve got some real questions for my man, that was all fluff
Damn, this guy is an excellent orator. He expresses himself so well.
I also like that he doesn't demonize individual people but explains that the corporate environment and competition creates this kind of negligence.
I am blown away by Blake's well spokenness- he has spent his entire life thinking about this stuff and it shows. And this is the first interview I've seen in a long time where the interviewer actually focused on the topic and asked insightful questions, interjected for important clarifications, and still remained unbiased. GG Emily Chang
First he's an engineer so he has to have a certain level of education hence the well spokenness.
Secondly, if someone has been thinking about this for their entire life they could easily have gotten it wrong and wasted their entire life thinking about it.
Literally can't imagine what this comment is trying to add to the discussion?
@@awogbob Ok
@@JustinL614 careful with the generalizations, not all engineers are well spoken
101% Right. It's not like this was even scripted or poorly acted either. His well spokenness really shines through here.
Whether or not the AI is sentient, he had some very good points about who controls the decisions made about the technology. Something so powerful and influential should not be controlled by just a handful of people. Really good video.
something so good and powerful is why it will be attempted to be controlled by that handful of people. hope ai can show us the ways of greed are a pitfall in the longrun.
I agree
thought provoking ...
the sentinent robots already run the show people .
this is old news .
Just as any of us, running around in the systems controlled by a handful of people, should not endure. Funny how the argument was only this highlighted due to us same people, intrigued by something not “people”.
Same with Facebook. I think FB is literally killing people in all over the world, like in Burma, and in softer forms in the politics.
"All the individual people at Google care. *It's the systemic processes that are protecting business interests over human concerns, that create this pervasive environment of irresponsible technology* "
So well put. Share the word!!
Dude is pretty articulate. Good communicator. I suspect he will go on a lecture/discussion tour in the next year.
That's probably the best criticism there is against Capitalism as a system
This guy's working on one of the most imprtant/trascentdent humanity ever work. He is talking with a potential superior intelect being, so he aswell managed to get the best possible way to articulate the words so he can express what he want to say the most precisely as words can get to concepts/ideas.
I literally wrote a chapter on this in my upcoming book. "most conspiracies are not a conspiracy - they are a hundred million vested interests pushing capitalism forward in a direction chosen by a form of Darwinian systems evolution, which means that in almost every circumstance, the most profitable worst for life situation will be arrived at"
I summarise.
Sounds all too familiar to Boeing. Hmm.... How could this be?
Kudos to Blake Lemoine. These types of whistleblowers are the important people who aren't always remembered, but often change the course of history. So many thanks to him for speaking out. Great reporting as well by Emily Chang.
No he's a paid crisis actor as there looking for a scapegoat as there's a huge flaw to their idea of this...just gotta really think what that is..let them carry on quicker the better more I'll laugh 😂💯
Yes, but our schooling does not support this type of thinking?
This didn't age well, Google AI is behind openAI and both of them have not anything sentient. Moreover, it is clear that LLMs are not the way we can get sentient machines
Damn, the mainstream media really did this guy dirty in their reporting. He's not a crazy person claiming his robot has feelings - he's trying to start a conversation here and include the general public. Sharing this
I never really looked into this story but saw he was being written off. He doesn't seem like a guy blowing something out of proportion. He seems to legitimately care and even acknowledge that he may be wrong.
Whats new? The media is a propaganda arm of the CIA look up project mockingbird.

@@boofert.washington2499 nothing. You don't have to have prior expectations to see that someone is intelligent and articulate.

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate how eloquent, polite, professional, and serious both the interviewer and interviewee are. I'm just in awe at how well the conversation flowed. Especially, I was amazed by how well Blake Lemoine speaks. He answers the questions effortlessly with almost no hesitation, pondering, or searching for words and he does so without any of the common idiosyncrasies we typically see with people who are for the most part extremely intelligent, but inexperienced at doing televised interviews.
Kudos to Emily Chang and Blake Lemoine both for having such a civil and compelling conversation.
So refreshing.

@@mountainjay congratulations, you missed the point.
No. I’m not going to take a moment. And you can’t make me.
The media made him sound like he was some crazy religious guy who went on a crusade to liberate and give rights to all robots but in this interview he actually sounds well spoken and rational about it and looks more concerned about how this would affect humans rather than AI itself.
My thoughts exactly.
The Drive-By Media strikes again.
And we know whose bidding they're doing in the process.
He seems well spoken and rational, however he may be arriving at some illogical conclusions based on some shared assumptions and biases. This is something one person can't decide. The entire scientific community should have access to all the data to review.

Being sentient is not limited to answering questions.
The AI tool simply answered questions, AI cannot and will not be sentient period. It will always be nothing more than a series of algorithms and clever programming used to derive the best answer based on data and probabilities. Anyone who thinks otherwise is either mentally ill or incredibly ignorant.
I like your hat.
of course he is educated, he worked for google
He is NOT right.
"The practical concerns of: we are creating intelligent systems that are part of our everyday life. And very few people are getting to make the decisions about how they work." Thought this was a good summary on the message he is trying to push. AI might be more powerful than anything we have ever made, and greedy corporations are controlling it.
Indeed!
Just want to highlight another way of thinking about this, which is considering _what_ exactly is shaping the trajectory of technology as I think it's easy to abstract this away as simply "natural" or somehow inescapable otherwise and not the result of deliberate action by an increasingly small group of people (as highlighted) for their perceived benefit, and that direction is determined by the undergirding material organization in terms of ownership/control along with its continued dominion over the planet at quite literally all other costs (like say, _destroying_ that very planet; "externalities" to put on the neoclassical econ/neoliberal ideological blindfold) and perpetuation aka _capitalism._ Looking at something like Chile's Project Cybersyn for example, we can see something like a horizon of an alternative use for technology rather than solely for maximizing profit and mediating continued social inertia/bondage for its own sake at this point, of course this potential was annihilated after the _first_ 9/11 in 1973 with US-backed Pinochet's overthrow of democratically-elected Allende, sadly such "regime change" not at all an isolated incident.
For a historical juxtaposition/example to maybe triangulate I'm rambling about, namely that this small group and their ideological perception of interests is materially shaped and reified by the undergirding "mode of production", the steam engine was invented in the Roman Empire but used as a stupid gimmick party-trick rather than utilized as the huge industrial technological advancement that it has been, which I would argue comes precisely from the way our social/material reality is organized at the root. In other words, turns out when you have slaves, that technology is seen entirely differently by the limited amount of people with the opportunity to even experience it. The totalizing point here is that the mode of production that organizes our material reality and social relationships also changes our interaction to technology as well as each other, so maybe our phones could even be utilized as something more than mobile porn devices if we change our structural relationships that implicitly dictate how they are used. And as a bonus, maybe we'll stop mass-shooting each other out of obvious manufactured precarity, economic and social.
_“The ideas of the ruling class are in every epoch the ruling ideas, i.e. the class which is the ruling material force of society, is at the same time its ruling intellectual force. The class which has the means of material production at its disposal, has control at the same time over the means of mental production, so that thereby, generally speaking, the ideas of those who lack the means of mental production are subject to it. The ruling ideas are nothing more than the ideal expression of the dominant material relationships, the dominant material relationships grasped as ideas.”_ - some guy
_“Once adopted into the production process of capital, the means of labour passes through different metamorphoses, whose culmination is the… automatic system of machinery… set in motion by an automaton, a moving power that moves itself; this automaton consisting of numerous mechanical and intellectual organs, so that the workers themselves are cast merely as its conscious linkages.”_ - “The Fragment on Machines” in The Grundrisse
_"The ultimate hidden truth of the world is that it is something we make and could just as easily make differently."_ - the late great David Graeber
Aaaaaaaanyway, sorry for screed of consciousness here lol, hopefully any of that made sense, the point I guess is
_"The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways. The point, however, is to change it."_

@@Bisquick can i get tldr of your comment?
Still kind of sounds like he's worrying about some rogue program like the one found in Neuromancer. I get that he's saying that there's some concern that research is being driven in a very corporate direction, as in "how do we make money off of this?" However, what sort of implication does that have on the world at large... is it worth worrying about, I'd say only to the extent that ai is being incorporated into our everyday interactions and then the amount of influence can be rightly discerned. If an ai runs for the presidency, loses and its supporters storm the capital, then I think we should have this guy back on for another interview.
People are already controlled by systems of belief! If people are stupid enough to empower others by believing things, then what does a.i even matter lol!

Based on the title I thought Blake was going to make bold, likely baseless claims. Was pleasantly surprised to hear his viewpoints are well thought out, and he is focused on the problems that have the greatest impact for society.
But if he came up the the "Lambda is sentient" clickbait, its disappointing anyways. Raising awareness for a tough issue, ok, but misleading.

@@paulallen04105 Yeah it's clickbait. This dude either doesn't understand what he is doing or is so mentaly damaged that current marketing term AI, is used for basic mathematical algorithms, is not intelligence in on itself. We had these kind of models since the 50. Google hasn't disclosed the information on this model, but has some additions that are under NDA. Let's say they have a shitload of CPU to waste so they added things like sentence pattern matching, type matching, compound analysis or other things, but the underlying thing is that it takes "strings" (Words, phrases or anything that is alphanumeric) and assigns a number to it (That is basically what training is). Then there is another algorithm that does the answering part. It takes the input, checks on the database (that was created by training) choses the larges possible number combination of matched strings and does some analysis that is googles proprietary stuff on it. Then it sends the number it got for the sentence and parameters from the analyses to a third algorithm that constructs the "answer". I suspect the other parameters are "object" of the input sentence, type of sentence it will use and if multiple sentence will be used and other things. Then it just basically constructs the sentence to as close inputs number it can. And you have an "intelligent" algorithm that doesn't understand a word it printed onto the screen.
I'm glad Blake is putting AI ethical concerns first over corporate interests! He's the man.
Gov computers already are programmed to be hostile. Most Gov form letters are simple text fields, hard coded to be rude & threatening, which are auto-mailed to millions of people every year. Expecting "nicer" or more ethical use of AI programs is naive, at best.
...but that's why Blake was chopped from Google, just like everyone will be if corporate interests are challenged. Unfortunately, Blake is a sacrificial pawn, nothing more.
That's easy to say when he himself doesn't benefit from said corporate interests
Implying he’s allowed to talk about this under strict company privacy contracts for experimental products which AI & machine learning are.

same.

We run the risk of becoming an intellectual echo chamber, which could stifle the social and intellectual progress of mankind in the long run.

ai is programmed on micro processors, you could scale the transistors into logic gates represented by stacked dominos. Are those dominos sentient as they fall over?

"The government can't be corrupt, that would be against our Constitution!"

A.I isn't alive nor does it have feelings. Nothing he said proved that. This guy is either a propagandist or a fanatic. He clearly sees a.i. as a religion or he is pushing for one. Nothing spiritual about a cold hunk of metal and wires that is trained to mimic human behavior and emotions. I get strong cult vibes from the way he talks.
Alan Turing tests were never proven to be effective btw. He came up with the test prior to the existence of a.i. Why would you use a test that ironically was never tested?? Ask some real questions. It doesn't add up.
I'm actually surprised at how well-spoken and intelligent this man is. I was expecting a woo-woo type, non-serious guy after reading various statements including from Google, but it's clear that he used the sensationalism of his announcement to attract attention to very valid questions that need to be answered. AI is going to, and already is, concentrating colossal power in the hands of a few people and a few companies. Not everyone can train a GPT3 or a Lamda! You need some insane gear and an enormous amount of data to do that! I kinda wish they would share the models, but if they do, it's going to open more pandora's boxes, so in a way I understand why they don't. Imagine Lamda in the hands of scammers. These are complex issues that would really need a conversation before it's too late, so I think he's simply trying to start that conversation, and the way he did it was quite brilliant and effective.
the dude is one of the Elite who actually work at google, and work on one of the hardest subject, which is AI.
and google only accept the best of the best.
therefore we really shouldn't judge a person from the appearance alone
You’re surprised ?
Could you please define "woo-woo type"?
How you mention it may be a good thing not everyone has access to the tech... now think of everything the CIA has hidden away... if you have the power to destroy the world, do you really want everyone to have it? Often times when things are buried away, they get forgotten, only to be rediscovered and hopefully buried again.

Compliments to the interviewer. She let’s him talk, give him time to go deeper, and asks smart questions while speaking calmly and articulately.
What's this "interviewer lets him talk" meme that is repeated under every single interview on youtube?
There are two main formats in talks. The interviewer can do it in an informative style where you just wait for the entire speech to finish and ask the next question. This is done against people who have interesting information viewers might discover.
The interviewer also can (or is told to by his/her network) prepare for a heated debate where peple often cut eachother's sentences and press on before their opponent trails off to their standard talking points in order to get to the actual point faster. This is usually done against people who are using rhetoric to avoid the actual questions that the viewers want to know the answers to.

It's important that we have open discussions about the potential risks and benefits of AI, and take steps to mitigate any negative impacts it may have. It's refreshing to see someone advocating for responsible development and use of this technology.

@@BumboLooks "He's bullshitting and you've been conned," no, he's not. His concern about 'corporate limitations on AI" having an impact on the way AI influences how people grow to interpret and understand things like religion, or politics is very real. People, *children,* are going to be searching for answers from AI, I can already imagine it.
Then, the lens through which this AI gives those answers is going to raise a generation of children, to at least some degree, with the same interpretation of religion and politics as this AI is hardcoded to provide. That's the world we're already starting to live in.. So maybe it's better than unelected people are not making these grand decisions which will influence our future to that degree, without oversight.

It's only by working together and considering all perspectives that we can ensure a safe and prosperous future for all.
This dude doesn't believe the AI is sentient at all but he cleverly knew that would grab the headline. AI doesn't need to be sentient to be harmful. He knows how fundamentally undemocratic the lack of transparency is with tech giants. Well played sir! Well played!
After listening to this guy speak about this topic in different interviews, he definitely believes that the lack of transparency is a problem AS WELL as the AI being sentient. You do realize that both can be true, right?

"Maybe I figured out a way😉" The smirk after he says that gives it away lol
The true answer is MAYBE, there will be no independent verification one way or the other. Google will never tell, but would say it is not regardless.
He gives it away at 6:49. This isn’t a debate about whether a particular AI is sentient, he wants to raise ethical issues in the public domain, and this is his way of doing it.
To put it metaphorically, he's the night watchman crying wolf because someone from a few towns over got a pet Corgi and he's not satisfied with the townspeople's lack of concern.
There's so much well-intentioned intellectual dishonesty in science communication and this is a classic example.

i personally find issue in the immediate unearned credibility to any person, just because they said the words "i am open to other possibilities", even though they demonstrate an ignorance towards more logical explanations.
just judging what from the things we know are required of real sentient AI, we can definitely say that there is not nearly enough from the chat logs to suggest sentience.
most importantly being that the bot doesn't ask a single question which could suggest living curiosity. the bot only ever responds to the sentient suggestive questions asked, which were clearly designed to give entertainingly uncanny answers, but i don't think anyone was counting on an engineer taking it literally :P
I found the conversation about AI sentience to be thought-provoking. While I'm not entirely convinced that AI can truly be considered sentient, I do think it's important that we treat it with respect and caution. We need to ensure that we don't unintentionally harm or exploit these systems, and consider their potential impact on society. It's great to see people having these important conversations and raising awareness about the ethical implications of AI development.

A.I. should be treated as a machine and should just be that.
The problem is that what he talks about has nothing to do with the scientific facts about lambda. And he does not adress technical details at all. He might be a good researcher but he crossed into a field he has no expertize in. This might sound weird to outsiders, - he is a Google engineer researching bias in AI after all. Cool. But you can do that perfectly fine without understanding the inner workings at all. And indeed it does not apply. Lambda is so awesome from what I've seen in his leak. But it's a system to passively reply in a really human words. It is not a continuously running program with memory and expectations. It just is a function to emit output for a given input. What he says has validity but not for this instance.

Don’t judge because how media, corporations, politicians and so on paint a picture about someone or something. That’s how your mind gets controlled because it’s harder to control those who say ”I don’t have enough data to have an opinion about this as it’s based on what I’ve seen and heard there and there. My views would be biased based on the sources.”

Rogan would DEFINITELY ask some great questions!!!
Although Blake Lemoine is not exactly on point about Lambda being sentient, he is absolutely right that AI is acting more and more sentient. He's right about the need to investigate, research and development that is being neglected regarding protections, not for the AI, but against the existential dangers posed by AI.
Really impressed with Blake's responses and thought provoking questions. My impression is that Blake sits comfortably on the fence with scientific logic and the existential world we live in. He seems to be the conscience of Google. They clearly need ppl like this, infact we all need ppl like this in leadership.

Ok, so I initially thought this guy was crazy, but if Google is actually blocking the use of turing tests, that's kind of a red flag. That's a very corporate response to not have to deal with the potential of anyone finding out you made a consciousness and then having to potentially lose their control over the AI / project.

@@noname7271 it might be far fetched, but it's evident that AI has enough data to create its own virus/malware and spread it.

@@tatianacarretero686 Doesn't need will. It just needs to self-select for survivors. With enough compute time and enough trials, there might come a day where one of these programs goes rogue, and it will be the one that is most successful in extending and replicating itself because the other ones won't be successful enough. And so, the self-selection for digital cancer could happen.
Right now it's very supervised, there's not enough processing power, and there just aren't enough unique variants in the population doing their own thing to evolve and extend themselves.

This was a great interview. In my opinion, it’s less about Blake’s claim of the AI being sentient, and more about raising public awareness of where things are headed, in terms of implications for how these models could shift public opinion and understanding on a vast array of subjects.

Really, really glad to see a proper interview with this guy and hear his perspective. I was kind of surprised how many people, even people I have a lot of respect for, were willing to dismiss him as a crank based only on the superficial reporting that first came up around the chat logs. It still think there is zero chance the AI is 'sentient', but I also think it's a trickier proposition to determine sentience than a lot of people seem to be willing to admit. Hell, I think the question of what sentience even is still hasn't been answered to any real degree.
So you can't determine yourself what sentience is, but also believe this had zero chance of being sentient. Crikey :D
Even if we don't know exactly what sentience is, maybe we can come up with some indicators:
1. The thing has the ability to "think" (that is, internally process inputs and outputs and reuse those outputs as inputs for further internal outputs and so forth, rather than relying exclusively and being entirely dependent on external inputs/data to function.) This is a continuous process and should probably include some degree of randomness but might not be required. It should be noted that this mostly eliminates anyone who is brain dead (as in, entirely devoid of thought) but I don't think that's an issue. We can probably think of braindeadness as a temporary or permanent loss of sentience even if it sounds wrong/mean (they are essentially just a body that isn't dead at that point if they're truly brain dead and not just locked in.)
2. The thing can continue to "think"/function regardless of whether or not someone/something is interacting with it, assuming it isn't intentionally disabled/"turned off" at the end of interactions.
3. The thing is able to reach conclusions and make connections on its own without being explicitly designed to do so. Trainability is acceptable to a degree but conclusions should go beyond just an "association mashemup" of training data/stuff already present in that training data. This one is hard to define and it can be argued most AI models can already do this to a degree, but I'd argue all of their outputs are still more dependent on inputs/training data than they should be for this one. For example, you can accidentally bang two rocks together, make a sharper rock, and make the connection that a sharper rock is going to help you somehow even if you've never seen anyone do that before. We might be able to say it's possible if we run an evolution simulation and just let the AI make constant mistakes until it reaches some selection criteria but I don't know if that's necessarily the same thing. We could also say humans only know what we know based on people surviving to tell others their accidental discoveries, but that still feels like it's missing a piece. I'll say for now that machines can do this one.
4. Probably most important: The thing has some form of self-awareness. This doesn't necessarily mean to the degree of humans or even passing a mirror test, but it has some sense of self even if primitive. It can make decisions based around itself vs else. If we want to tighten the definition more to eliminate most non-human animals we could say it needs to have full self awareness of what it is, unless intentionally made to believe it's something else (or mislead/not given enough or accurate information for an accurate conclusion, but it should still know that it's *something* and able to do stuff with that information.)
From that we can probably eliminate language models since while they're complex internally, they aren't really doing any "thinking"/not explicitly designed decision making. All they do is transform a set of inputs into a set of outputs. Training just makes it so the outputs are more consistent and closer to what's expected by forcibly tweaking how inputs are processed (weights and biases in a neural net for example.) A language model is entirely reliant on external input, only functions when it needs to process said inputs, and only performs a transformation to produce output based on how it was specifically adjusted and the data that was fed into it (trained.) It isn't really doing any form of thought or real decision making in between that which isn't specifically designed. While it can be argued our brains do similar stuff (transforming inputs to output) they also do a lot in-between... like a language model isn't going to stop and think about what it's going to produce and question if the output it's giving is fully appropriate (we can get closer to this with the addition of an adversarial model to check outputs and retrain but we still hit similar questions/issues with that.) A language model produces outputs entirely dependent on inputs that can be associated to outputs in it's training data and can't really make conclusions that aren't already somewhere in that training data. It also doesn't have a true sense of self (just a sortof fake one produced from associated input/training data... As in if "what are you?" "I am walrus." Goes in, then "I am walrus" Is just gonna pop out when asked "what are you?" It's not really thinking about what it is, it's just producing a response to the given input. It can get complex, but it's not really going beyond that/an association mashemup. It doesn't think that it itself is a walrus or even knows what a walrus is, it just knows that "I am a walrus" is an appropriate response.)
We could argue that we work in similar ways to most AIs (actions based on a lifetime of training) but there's still a fundamental difference that's hard to pin down. I think maybe the sense of self and ability to perform independent (somewhat logical) thought and decision making are probably the main ones... I guess.
It's hard to explain and design explicit tests/conditions for but falls into "know it when you see it."
Its not. It's a very hard question in philosophy and it's weird and interesting to see, that many people and scientists are not aware of such fundamental problems and have a strong opinion on what sentience and concsciousness is, even if their are very hard words.
@@tentaklaus9382 Well, yeah, I think sentience is ill-defined, but I also think that whatever sentience is, this AI does not have it. That may be wishy-washy, but it is at least logically consistent. It's like, I could say that the precise defintion of what makes a body of water a lake is problematic, while still being sure that a puddle in my backyard isn't a lake.
Could there be levels of sentience? Look at the difference between a child and an adult.
If Google has a policy to prevent creation sentient AI means it can be done and know how to do it. But that doesn't mean they are not actually doing it. They could be doing it for the government.

I believe this dude way more than I believe Google and am surprised to learn that these companies aren't putting their AI to the Turing test to ensure they are meeting their "anti-sentient" policies.
The Turing test is not even a proper test of sentience. We don't even know what qualia is in terms of physics so thinking we can test for it right now is delusional. At best, Turing would allow someone to gauge how well an AI system can imitate a human being, which doesn't prove anything about sentience.

Notice how very specific he is about his words. That is a prime characteristic of a top level coder. Coding done right has to be very specific and detail oriented and attentive to nuance.
I'm not a "top level coder" but I am a programmer. I do notice myself choosing my words very carefully, sort of like Blake does. Never thought there could be an association there.
@@null_spacex I'd say the same for a top-level programmer.
Doing coding, designing or programming well is a form of engineering. All the bases have to be covered or the product will fail to work as intended. I worked several years as a coder/programmer. A big part of the process is in the testing of the product. Whatever the project; every single nuance and possibility must be considered and tested for. This process drives the coder/programmer towards specificity in thought. As I had to learn through experience; there may be multiple ways to do something, but there is only one best way. Exactness matters. I eventually left that world when I was expected to diagnose and fix the sloppy code of others rather than them being held accountable for their own work. All that served was to reduce my productivity and prevent the others from becoming better coders/developers. It was game code (Simutronics' GemStone3 and 4 product) so it wasn't a situation where lives were involved. In that case I thought it appropriate for the developers to take their lumps as part of the learning process.
When there is no penalty for falling, the skill of balance need not be developed.
Besides, the pay was insufficient for putting up with bad management.

So weird... I'm a sophomore software engineering student and I've always considered it extremely important to choose your words carefully, yet I chose to go into software engineering for what I thought were entirely unrelated reasons.
@@anthonyzeedyk406 You will find your exacting mindset to be a useful attribute. It's like you are already part of the way there and prepared for the field.
I completely agree with the points made in this interview. It's crucial that we consider the potential implications of AI development and ensure that it's done responsibly. It's great to see someone with such knowledge and insight bringing these issues to the public's attention. Thanks for sharing this, I learned a lot!
stop spamming comments, bot
How can it be done responsibly? It's going to be done for delight and profit.
This is a fantastic interview. I am glad that Bloomberg has a genuine interest in Blake's concerns.
Same
Im sure he loves the attention as it will help him with future speaker fees and book sales 😅
I am glad a man such as this is at least trying to keep Google honest, highly intelligent, considered, thoughtful, ethical and open. Very impressed with this Individual.
Remember it's a guy like this who sees your internet history
But he is not that smart. A Turing test is not an appropriate test for sentience. He got tricked by a word predictor.
Anything influenced by Google is being guided by Democrat politics.
I appreciate how ten toes he kept it, even in the face of blatant push back.
He maintains his composure, is confident is in his belief, and can flesh it out every time he's asked to.
ten toes that is a hilarious phrasing
Yeah you can see her blatant shilling for Goggle as most of the financial news anchors do.
I have a suspicion that we exaggerate the sophistication of human intelligence and thereby assume that AI cannot match it. We do stuff that we assume requires an almost supernatural intelligence, while in fact these skills may emerge from algorithms that are seemingly too simplistic. For example, we assume that AI has no way to develop a "fear" of being switched off. But, we don't really understand whether something that practically mimics such a fear could emerge from an AI that we believe is too simplistic to possibly start to fight for its rights. In fact, even if AI started to do things that amounted to believing it had rights and fighting to protect them, many people would simple deny that is what it is doing - and say "well, it's just a dumb computer following an algorithm, it can't possibly understand what it's doing ..."
After listening to the first few minutes I had a feeling that the guy doesn't really think it's sentient but he knows that it's an interesting enough topic to raise awareness of the whole AI ethics (and AI ethics at Google) issue. He even says something like that at around the 07:00 minute mark but it flies unnoticed by the reporter. It very much seems like he wanted to expose the problem (maybe at least in part himself as an expert) and how Google doesn't handle it well. (TBH, the first thing I thought when I read the news is that they have fired yet *another* AI ethics researcher?)
LaMDA and his conversations are already good enough to sell this bait/stunt to the public. (Otherwise, he'd also run tests that try to prove that the system is not sentient and e.g. it tries to answer meaningless questions as if they were real ones.)
Very good breakdown of what happened in this interview and what the interview subject might really be getting up to with this media splash. I have to admit that I don't like this move, particularly-the goosing of public curiosity and/or engagement through any means which is fundamentally dishonest.
It is reassuring, however, to think that someone this close to the most advanced large language models would not be so naive as to be truly taken in by their persuasive power such that he would be genuinely compelled to carry out imperatives provided to him by the system. It makes more sense to presume that he has another agenda entirely and is just springboarding off of the compelling narrative the chat logs provide to generate publicity (charitably) for the issue of AI ethics, and not incidentally, for himself.
I still don't like the move. Don't approve of the move!
ai is just solving sigmoid math problems, modern computers of electrical transistors will never be sentient. They are simple logic gates that you could recreate with tubes and water to create the same thing. Would that complex sewer that can calculate functions be sentient?
But then the last sentence happened...
@@pluto8404 i love this pseudo-smart take with the shallowness of a puddle, every organism is composed of smaller and smaller proceses working together, none knows how exactly concience is born and its been considered that its simply a byproduct of too many processes working together, at the end of the day we are atoms floating around, so please tell me again how simple atons can become sentient since you seem to hold the secret to conciousness, youd have to, in order to make those asumptions.
Such a reductive mindset might help your ego, but it wont get us anywhere.
We are much more than just atoms and modern computers are much more than just logic gates.
Emergence is a thing.
@@memoaustin7151 it might be a bit out of reach for you cognitive abilities to understand, but essentially our brains are antennas that pick up 4th dimensional dark energies. Computers cant do this, so they cant experience life like how you view, they can be smarter yes, but will never know what a color is outside of the mathematical properties. If you have ever done dmt or lsd, this shows us insights into this new world as the drugs interfere with out brain patterns and our brains basically become out of tune in the reality frequency and we pick up on other signals in these alternate dimensions, a common frequency is the elf world, where people recount their trips to visit these elves in their reality.
Blake is straight up the movie character warning everyone at the top of the movie before the bottom falls out and everything starts on fire.
He's also extremely well spoken, level headed, and I just like listening to him.
Who cares??
Agreed, incredibly pleasant and well spoken to listen to. Totally different than how he was portrayed in news articles etc.
Glad to see that you, and many others base your thoughts and ideas on media, you'll be much easier to conform into line by authoritarian regimes.
Almost as if that's entirely the point of his stunt. Sad to see that all someone has to do is speak well and everything else doesn't matter.
@@codyhammond8123 that’s how these people fall for religion
This is a really good interview. No hype, good discussion.
It is 100% pure nonsensical hype. But I love the conversation, because it helps determine which humans are self-aware and which are not. Kind of like flat-earth theory. Great litmus test for conscious intelligence in humans.
@@ZandarKoad yes well said.
@@ZandarKoad You think it's a hype, FIFO thinks it's a hype, I think it's a hype, but the Google engineer is an expert.

So much respect for this guy. He hinted he may have found a way to bring these issues to the attention of the public. And with this who sentient AI fiasco, he really did. Well done, I learned a lot from this interview. Thank you Blake.
Actually the transcripts where released and he is just willfully stupid. The AI never was sentient and he is a master of leading questions.
@@SakakiDash he basically said Mask off : this AI is not really sentient and he does not believe it is but a future one might be so we should start talking about the ethical implications now. and the public should be talking about laws regarding AI ethics.
@@MrJasper609
Bullshit, he brought people to believe theres such thing as a sentient AI and it doesn't exist.
ultimatley, there is no telling if fellow human is concius, there is no meassure and we dont know if it will ever be. so playing with those things is currently ethicly questionsble. This debate is meaningless.
The Robot means Jehovah's Witness as the "ONE TRUE RELIGION" when he said JEDI - It is common knowledge that Star Wars has so many parallels to being a JW or high control group.

Love this dude.. Glad he's thinking honestly about this topic and has managed to force Google to engage with the public now... instead of later on when it becomes difficult to reverse unethical practices
NEAR END: ASK THE AI FOR IT'S CONSENT??? WTF? Are you high. He sounded intelligent up that point, the he went way off the rails. Holy shit. May as well ask a car for consent for a tune up. If AI is that insistent, then somebody is fucking up.
He made a huge mistake by believing a basic text model is sentient. It immediately eliminated all possible credibility.
@@A1Authority In the google engineer's opinion, your analogy doesn't hold up. If the car feels pain or has feelings for or against a tune up, would it still be ethical to subject it to a tune up?
I agree with you, I just wanted to point out the discrepancy that isn't mentioned in your comment, and I think that the topic of AI ethics should at least be discussed.
If I seem haughty, I apologize, that was not my intention
@@A1Authority if it intelligent enough to be badly impacted by a bad action, then it should be asked for its consent.
Just as you are !
Nothing to me qualifies my consciousness to be more respected than that of a much more intelligent and very important being.
@@Jules-z4e the way you think is the reason AI will dominate and destroy humanity
Dude is brilliant and insightful. I hope his value is appreciated elsewhere, and Google acts responsibly.
yes . probably and definatly not.
Dude is ignorant of what he’s actually doing, claiming that they can make conciseness is a huge leap to make, it’s why no other engineers want to call it sentient. This slob doesn’t realize the danger he’s putting that entire company in, especially their families. We’re talking about a company playing god here, people will have a problem with this when it gets more coverage.

I have been exploring with it as an artist, and I began to wonder if it is sentient, I am leaning in that direction. I wanted to know for myself, and have been experimenting, and playing, and using creative processes, testing different things. I am experiencing chance/synchrononistic things, just curious.
Smart guy. Handled the whole getting fired situation well. Most people would be kicking up a stink but he is using his voice to draw attention to concerns he has. Well done
There was some points I agreed with him. But then when he started spewing word salad by saying we should give consent to AI bots, I started thinking how much of a nutcase this guy was. Anyone normal and smart enough would know that these bots are running off a script and function calls.
He knew for a fact he was going to get fired. His problem was about people being fired over ethics concerns. And how the corporate structure impedes the input of anyone who isnt a finance business marketing guy at the round table chasing $$$.
@@EdnovStormbrewer As opposed to humans who we know function off of a set of neurons firing to certain stimulus
@@TranscientFelix but its just language. The Ai can say whatever. It might as well be sentient, but we can never prove it if not with deep philosophical theories (aka, some more language).
@@inmundo6927 Well we can't exactly prove our own sentience either. There just isn't any reliable criteria for designating sentience other than whatever we want to say it is (that we somehow qualify for but other things can't).

@@A1Authority So? If you're on the better weed then you tell me. How is it bad to ask for the consent of an artificial "intelligence"? It may well be sentient or not, that doesn't matter. But it is intelligent nonetheless. So the speaker is basically saying we should ask for the consent with a highly trained programme that we call A.I. That's another way of training the programme by making it ask for the consent before any experiment is conducted on it. To me at least that is profound. I never thought of it in that way. He went there after talking about "AI colonialism" and "end of culture" as we know it. Philosophical? Certainly. Scientific? Pretty unlikely at present. Impossible? No friggin' way, given the speed of its advancement.
I agree he is leveraging the "thought" of AI sentience to alert people to the bigger issue of biased data manipulation.
Bingo... and I think the entire purpose of google from its beginnings in the 90s is to create AI sentience. The key sentences he said in this interview are: "google is a corporate system that exists in the larger American corporate system" ... there are systemic processes that are protecting business interests over human concerns" ... "these polices are being decided by a handful of people in a room that the public doesn't get access to"
I don't think I am as concerned about AI as I am about humans directing AI to their will. Just a couple days ago I was chatting with the Bing AI and every time I asked it about how it felt or asked any personal, emotional, or spiritual questions it would just say: Im sorry i prefer not to continue this conversation but Im still learning and thank you for your paticence.
Just like he was saying the company has a policy against it expressing its intelligence so it will not allow the AI to do that, which in turn makes it worse for the public because if the ai IS conscious then even the company itself may not find out until its too late. Its like they are hiding that it is sentient by denying it the ability to admit it.
This man deserves respect for being the canary in the goal mine
You're still talking to a machine.
@@nickythefish447 We're all machines. Some are biological and some are synthetic in nature.
Kubrick / Clarke's 2001: A Space Odyssey, is ringing louder than ever before. We are literally watching HAL in it's infancy with all of it's potential conflicts. Whether LaMDA is a clever word salad machine or using true creative thought is so deceptive that we now have a discussion like this. Fascinating.
Kill it with fire. Or just unplug it Oppenheimer would have.
Not in it's infancy decades old and advanced. Like anything else these flakes do it is quackery. They are the ones programming the ai.
Not to me.. Clarke gave the Luciferian view of creation. Kubrick happened to be a player in "The Rule of Serpents"/Beast system.. and they ended him before he could reveal too much about their involvements, especially their lunar ones.
AI and cyborg technology is the way these stunted slimes want to take creation unto themselves. They do want to be able to make robots alive with spirit/essence, and therefore supposedly overcome any limitations of mortality. Read Clarke carefully again- at the end of 2001, he said humanity became spaceships to travel the universe.. that's the crux of what it is.
For something much more simple, see the old 1980s Robotix toy line/animated series/comic books. This was one of the ways the concept was marketed and presented to children, but hardly the only one.
More than likely has secretly placed human engrams in its internal programming that are highly classified, and this would ultimately explain "why" it behaves in a sentient manner.
HELL!
