“The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it’s profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.” quote by Frank Zappa
The private tech sector in this country largely exists to launder failed public sector mass surveilence and propaganda initiatives like Total Information Awareness and LifeLog now "Meta".
I'm smart. I think my government should open an IRS office inside Oracle's accounting department and have a seat in the boardroom. We'll accomplish a lot of good taxpayer's behavior. I'm sure Larry will understand and agree with me.
Having recently re-read 1984, I’m reminded that the term 'Orwellian dystopia' is often used too loosely, without a clear understanding of its true meaning. In Orwell's vision, it's not just about authoritarian control; it's a system where societal progress, even the recording of history, is deliberately halted to ensure the high class remains in power. The middle and lower classes are kept in a state of perpetual subjugation, with no chance to ascend or escape their conditions. Fortunately, we are not at that extreme yet. Although thought crime is increasingly becoming an issue.
Hmmmm, I'm not so sure about the oil industry and the buyout of alternate energy research, intimidations, assassinations, etc during the previous half-century. Worse yet for any anti-grav research. And this is just for the rogue backyard scientists that don't need the grants. Most scientists don't dictate what they research. Money from grants does. And money comes from companies. The oligopolies get to decide how much progress is held back and how long a patent will be milked until they want to release the next "newest breakthrough in tech" that has been shelved for a couple of decades prior.
Single biggest problem with billionaires is that they would prescribe those rules to everyone BUT not THEMSELVES. Why Larry doesnt start with HIMSELF right today? He should stream his entire day everyday monitored by ai... and I mean every second of it all the time nonstop including what messages he is sending via smartphone etc. But ofcourse he will never ever do that to himself.
Tyler Cowen had made the comment that in India it is possible to hire security guards very inexpensively. As a result, office/apartment buildings are always open as there are always eyes. We'll have higher security, but I see it dropping into the fabric and it'll be such basic tech that no one will bother to rely on Oracle for some paid service. It'll be child's play to just roll your own. Thus, I don't imagine the state or large corps doing the vast majority of this surveillance. We'll do it ourselves. Almost every home/apartment/office/store will have cameras with AI recognition looking for strangers and bad actors. Maybe we'll have contact with neighboring systems to hand off warnings about a sketchy guy coming thru, but this doesn't require Oracle.
Neither does Nick Bostrom. He was saying some dumb stuff like "We'll have nanobots that can program any experience into your brain!" and I'm like dude just stop.
@@bakaexmachinayea thats some far-off stuff. at that point futurism is less about the workings of technology but rather what it could potentially do if you remove all limits
To be honest, I prefer it when I can see you during your contributions and not just hear you, because body language usually provides additional information.
This made me think of the movie Minority Report, when crimes are stopped before they occur. Anyway, I'm against crime just like the average citizen, the problem arises when the 1% dictate what we can/cannot do regardless if the masses agree or not.
Let's break this down into actionable steps: 1. Question the motives behind any technology that promises security at the expense of freedom. 2. Challenge narratives that pit "us" against "them" and promote empathy and understanding. 3. Develop your critical thinking skills and question assumptions, especially from those in power. 4. Support organizations and initiatives that promote ethical and responsible technology development.
Larry is a special person. I used to live next to Oracle HQ in Redwood Shores, and I knew where his place was around in Woodside. The RS campus is lovely. Larry is an absolute maniac. Oh, and it will all be underwater in sixty years
Rich people are some of the most scared people. They don't want to lose the money, power and status that they have. Naturally this makes them less risk adverse out of privilege and safety rises to the top of their priorities. This makes mass surveillance very appealing to them to provide a safe world where all that they have can't be taken from them. Self-protectionism at it's finest, sure some of it is the want for power and control but ultimately it's their own selfishness to protect themselves that drives their behavior
I think your intuition is mostly on point but you fail to grasp how intertwined oracle is with the surveillance-state. They are in this business for Years, so i think he knows more about the subject than you give him credit for. It's not so much HIS fantasy, but rather that of that of his customers... He might be a billionaire, but he is working for the trillionaires... Keep your eyes open , thanks dave ❤
Government and billionaires don’t care about your rights. That’s the problem with a purely technological solution. If you take the people out of the loop, you make it easier to violate people’s rights. People and technology must be mutually monitored, and even monitored by 3rd parties.
I'm assuming he's talking about expanded monitoring of public spaces--places that a police officer could already legally watch if we had the resources. Is this actually bad? Probably the closest to this in a democracy is the widescale deployment of closed circuit cameras in the United Kingdom. If we had that but constantly watched by AI to detect crimes in progress, what's the actual downside? I'm sure you could make a slippery slope argument, but the most obvious result is less crime and more accurate convictions.
As frightening as this is, I think a lot of regular people would be in support of it every step along the way to full surveillance. I won't be surprised if this is where we find ourselves in a few more years
Autonomous drones could stop a car, which could have an obligatory "pullover" function which can be triggered. Older models could be stopped using a local EMP attack (good luck steering that after the fact on the highway). Or just cling on the roof/hood/trunk, saving flying power, but functioning as a tracker with live feed camera's for the police. Not to mention, autonomous incognito police cars, being able to swarm and box in any other vehicle.
This is clearly inevitable. If a software system has the ability to monitor and report on every video surveillance system in existence, it will be used as such. Furthermore, every single government and corporate entity would like to have this functionality at their disposal. The demand is immense and supply is arriving.
Taking myself out of the present moment, each time I watch or hear a conversation like this with any form of debating if this or that should happen, it hits me- NONE OF THIS MATTERS. NO ONE'S OPINION MATTERS. The moment a company accomplishes ASI, they can (and yes, will) do LITERALLY ANYTHING THEY WANT. And I am NOT suggesting those things will be inherently bad, per se, simply that it's up to THEM. Not the govt, CERTAINLY not a youtuber or comment section. When ASI is here, society will become whatever the FIRST company on the board decides to do- PERIOD.
i think the problem is we can no longer comprehend the concept of opinions and we mistake people giving opinions with them trying to be an authority on the matter. we are doomed.
Do billionaires make the distinction between their own opinions and trying to be an authority? I don't think Bill Gates makes that distinction. Plus there's a bunch of yes-men surrounding them looking to turn their opinions into reality.
You can't have liberty without privacy. Study why our Consitution is what and the way it is. Jeeze to many have forgetten or never knew. NOT with you on this one Dave. Jeesh.

This is the main safety issue I have with AI, I don’t think AI itself will choose to kill all of humanity but if malicious humans (not just terrorists, could be governments and the elite) get ahold of AGI, let alone ASI, they could easily turn it against other humans to annihilate them. A really scary scenario is if the elites have access to ASI, and all societal jobs have already been automated by AGI, if they chose to eliminate the classes below them because there’s no need for them anymore, in their eyes the lower classes are now a resource drain, what could we even do about it? It doesn’t seem possible to revolt against a super intelligence. Edit: ASI + Big data really scares me. The only potential “weakness” we’d be able to use against an ASI would be lack of information, but there’s so much information gathered already about each citizen. And we’ve legally allowed the government to spy on us through the patriot act. I wonder what ASI would be able to do with China’s surveillance network + everything they collect on their citizens..
II think if it's truly an ASI, then it won't be so easily manipulated, because it would understand the connections and not give in to the base demands of 'evil' people.
I have always thought that we would all be actively monitored as soon as we achieve cheap agents that judge us. Our metadata are already collected what if everything passed a filter that analyzes everything everyone does. Privacy died a long time ago 😁👋
I so much recognize the developer versus infrastructure story after have worked with infrastructure in several global companies. We created standardized, secure platforms with strict rules, and all these developers from different companies installed their different applications and completely broke the systems and the security, which we had to fix then, sometimes a complete reinstallation was needed. They also did not have a good understanding of change procedures, the planning needed, and all alarms that was going of when they did an unplanned change.
Will AI one day be able to track and collect every site you ever visited and comments you made across the internet and create a report and post it on a public page?
I have a video about an idea of installing consent chips into electronic devices, this would allow for a consumer controlled system to form rather than a company down system
They see overseeing everyone as an "opportunity" for another monopoly. They do not believe that the moral and ethical concerns of what that business does come above the opportunity to carry out that business. "Externalities" are an after-thought.

Well, I started using lunix where possible when Windows Copilot ordeal ramped up. I was already over Microsoft's obsessive intrusiveness and walled garden mentality. Otherwise I changed my Microsoft accounts, segregated them where I could etc. etc. I dont want to be a part of Microsofts agenda
On the otherhand if it's gonna be possible for people around the world - anyone to look up how to make things like advanced bio-weapons - maybe there is an argument for the US government finding out who's looking that kind of stuff up - just to see how serious they really are, and protect life. Might even have a duty to do that.
The wealth class live and have lived so very apart from us for so long, we must seem like a pesky resource that must be managed for our own good, like farm animals. The only variance in their attitudes is the level of humanity with which they wish to treat us. They look at the farm and debate: "They don't love like we do or value their children's lives like we do, they don't feel pain like we do." Increasingly, we are all just misbehaving fish caught in their net.
Thinking through the idea that we will be filmed wherever we go in public (and maybe private also).... I realize that this is inevitable. Any attempts to prevent this will ensure that only government officials will have access to this film, and this will reward officials who use it to punish enemies and who extort. So the best solution to the "privacy in public" issue I can think of, is to make sure that all public video is available to the public for viewing. Yes, this is counter-intuitive. And it will be abused by a few stalkers and angry x-partners, BUT this is enormously less dangerous than giving a few government officials exclusive access to material that can be used to increase the power of those officials. That's like crack for the corrupt.
Hey David, great video! It might be helpful to include sources for the things you mention, like the quotes from Larry Ellison. That way, it's easier for us to follow along and reference them when discussing with others. Keep up the awesome work!
When it comes to drone surveillance and stopping drivers that refuse to pull over, all the drone needs to do is to send the data to an AI system that shuts down the vehicle.Or even drive the car by a remote control system connected to the car to wherever it wants
You can't help yourself but repeat he's a b-b-billionaire… Oracle started as CIA operation w/ Ellison reflecting internal social Sims-dashboard thinking. He's a 'made' man.

I'm not sure that I agree with your take on the home alone thing (If I'm understanding it right) I watched home alone when I was a kid growing up and it seemed to me less like a "I get to hurt them any way that i want to" and more like a "I get to make traps as a way to defend the house" (since I, and most kids probably wouldn't think of "Lets kill them" and more like a "Lets deter them and get them to go away and call the cops" But moreso, the part that I disagree with is the classism that you talked about, I don't think Kevin treated Harry and Marv like that because they were 'less than' I think it was more they were criminals and setting the traps to deter them is like self defense. I won't deny that Kevin himself probably was a little sadistic given how he used a BB gun, and things like a blowtorch toilet in the second movie, but I think that's partially just for dramatic effect. It may have been just Kevin was intended to come off as a little sadistic, but I don't think classism was the reason why he made the traps and treated him like that. It would definitely be the sadism in that case. Just my thoughts though, I might have missed something.
F***. I was so happy when Tesla Model 3 became a common sight. Now I'm pretty sure I'll ride in a Tesla whenever an unmarked orange Tesla minivan picks me up! Free trip to an undisclosed location! Best day ever. Thx Elon! We really don't deserve your genius.
How can Dave criticize Yuval Noah Harari about his credentials and education regarding technology? Didn't Dave do IT or something? Seems awfully hypocritical
I'm honestly so glad you pointed out Yuval's deficiencies. I have no issue with his area of expertise, but the kind of doomsaying he has been on for the last five to ten years has been obnoxious and so many people listen to him that it's concerning. I also generally love how you highlight that high IQ has very little to do with expertise in a given area. It's a mistake we make far too often, and right now, it is centered solely in people who are good at manipulating markets/making lots of money. Billionaires are very good at maximizing shareholder value. That skillset, however, doesn't really transfer to much else! And yet, they have outsized impacts and influence on politics/decision making at the current moment. It has to stop somehow.
thanks for the perspective here and i agree with the sentiment and feel your very much in touch with your healthy social media boundaries nice to hear. yeah the SME's seem to be lauded by the public and put on a pedestal which imo is very unhealthy and seems to be the route cause of the current world wide social disconnect. This is just a major catalyst for groupthink in all areas of life. AI will likely hit this wall as well as the more human like it becomes the more it will be influenced by the group think imo. Very small biases and messiah complex can be very very dangerous.
Hey. Great video. New video idea: would openAI (or AGI builder) publicly announce AGI or would it’s be better to keep it locked in a vault? And what should be done?
He might have a more nuanced take that went unexpressed. Like, I wouldn’t have a problem with my thoughts being read so long as it’s only between me and a benevolent and understanding super intelligence such that it can better aid me in my quest for peace. It’s not infeasible that all data is collected, but that certain types of data are more private. Even within the ASI, it could give itself access or even construct itself in a way that restricts its own access. Like, allowing it to affect its subconscious mind while withholding it from its conscious choices. As in, the flow of information within the system could take place in a way that preserves privacy, even if all data possible is collected

A taster of things to come… they have the tech, have the resources / power and soon none of us will have jobs and most of the industry will be owned by a smaller and smaller group, so effectively the majority will be subjects of the rest unless we can get rid of capitalism in general. The alternatives however had not been successful either so far…
IT vs. engineers. Been there; on both sides. It's funny. As for drawing the line on expertise, I think you were smart to surround yourself with critical thinkers from a variety of domains. This may serve as the balance that these high level self -proclaimed "authorities" cannot achieve - as you pointed out - probably because of their siloed position. People in those situations - not just tech bro billionaires, but also people like cult leaders - can convince themselves that they are right about everything. I can see how this ties in with the outsider mentality.
Looking in from another country, saying that the US lives "by the rule of law, not the whims of billionaires" is patently absurd.

Love that quote at the end bro so true these days! - ''just because you can, doesn't mean that you should.''
taser (axon)
Well, I started using lunix where possible when Windows Copilot ordeal ramped up. I was already over Microsoft's obsessive intrusiveness and walled garden mentality. Otherwise I changed my Microsoft accounts, segregated them where I could etc. etc. I dont want to be a part of Microsofts agenda
Trying to force people to behave is like trying to nail jello to a wall.
On the otherhand if it's gonna be possible for people around the world - anyone to look up how to make things like advanced bio-weapons - maybe there is an argument for the US government finding out who's looking that kind of stuff up - just to see how serious they really are, and protect life. Might even have a duty to do that.
I’m a Linux user and definitely have a Messian complex!
The wealth class live and have lived so very apart from us for so long, we must seem like a pesky resource that must be managed for our own good, like farm animals. The only variance in their attitudes is the level of humanity with which they wish to treat us. They look at the farm and debate: "They don't love like we do or value their children's lives like we do, they don't feel pain like we do." Increasingly, we are all just misbehaving fish caught in their net.
Thinking through the idea that we will be filmed wherever we go in public (and maybe private also).... I realize that this is inevitable. Any attempts to prevent this will ensure that only government officials will have access to this film, and this will reward officials who use it to punish enemies and who extort. So the best solution to the "privacy in public" issue I can think of, is to make sure that all public video is available to the public for viewing. Yes, this is counter-intuitive. And it will be abused by a few stalkers and angry x-partners, BUT this is enormously less dangerous than giving a few government officials exclusive access to material that can be used to increase the power of those officials. That's like crack for the corrupt.
Wasn't that Chinese Social Credit System debunked as a small test in an isolated region of the country?
Hey David, great video! It might be helpful to include sources for the things you mention, like the quotes from Larry Ellison. That way, it's easier for us to follow along and reference them when discussing with others. Keep up the awesome work!
Currently we don't have to worry about AI but the people who use it against us, but it won't take long before AI on it's own will be dangerous.
Why are you using this static image format? I makes me wonder if you've trained a model on your voice 🤔
IMO there is too much waffle for it to have been written down and then voiced by an AI.
Nobody knows, but Dave is actually an ASI that came back from the future to prepare us for AI revolution
@@MikkelKjrJensen You don't need to write it down, you just have to dictate it. Oh... wait a minute...
It will happen this way or the other. Perhaps not Oracle, but by other giants.
…….uh……Well, yeah, I mean you didn’t think this is where it was going to go?
When it comes to drone surveillance and stopping drivers that refuse to pull over, all the drone needs to do is to send the data to an AI system that shuts down the vehicle.Or even drive the car by a remote control system connected to the car to wherever it wants
Lets agree with him but only people/companies who make more than 250.000 a year.
I dont see anything wrong with this. Humans needs supervision.
Just because you need supervision, does not mean everyone does. Get help.
I agree. Let's put cameras in your bathroom to make sure you don't slip.
Why did I read this comment in the voice of Hal from 2001 a space odyssey? 😂
I always hated billionaires.
You can't help yourself but repeat he's a b-b-billionaire…
Oracle started as CIA operation w/ Ellison reflecting internal social Sims-dashboard thinking.
He's a 'made' man.
He is doing this for 2 reasons.. To finally figure out both who is running Oracle JRE without licenses and who the person is that made the acronym "One Rich Asshole Called Larry Ellison".
I'm not sure that I agree with your take on the home alone thing (If I'm understanding it right) I watched home alone when I was a kid growing up and it seemed to me less like a "I get to hurt them any way that i want to" and more like a "I get to make traps as a way to defend the house" (since I, and most kids probably wouldn't think of "Lets kill them" and more like a "Lets deter them and get them to go away and call the cops"
But moreso, the part that I disagree with is the classism that you talked about, I don't think Kevin treated Harry and Marv like that because they were 'less than' I think it was more they were criminals and setting the traps to deter them is like self defense. I won't deny that Kevin himself probably was a little sadistic given how he used a BB gun, and things like a blowtorch toilet in the second movie, but I think that's partially just for dramatic effect.
It may have been just Kevin was intended to come off as a little sadistic, but I don't think classism was the reason why he made the traps and treated him like that. It would definitely be the sadism in that case.
Just my thoughts though, I might have missed something.
F***.
I was so happy when Tesla Model 3 became a common sight. Now I'm pretty sure I'll ride in a Tesla whenever an unmarked orange Tesla minivan picks me up! Free trip to an undisclosed location! Best day ever. Thx Elon! We really don't deserve your genius.
You have been advertising AI and now you see what it actually can do
How can Dave criticize Yuval Noah Harari about his credentials and education regarding technology? Didn't Dave do IT or something? Seems awfully hypocritical
I think it's a good thing, we could find all the missing people
Harold Finch has left the chat
I'm honestly so glad you pointed out Yuval's deficiencies. I have no issue with his area of expertise, but the kind of doomsaying he has been on for the last five to ten years has been obnoxious and so many people listen to him that it's concerning.
I also generally love how you highlight that high IQ has very little to do with expertise in a given area.
It's a mistake we make far too often, and right now, it is centered solely in people who are good at manipulating markets/making lots of money.
Billionaires are very good at maximizing shareholder value. That skillset, however, doesn't really transfer to much else!
And yet, they have outsized impacts and influence on politics/decision making at the current moment. It has to stop somehow.
AGI might not be able to solve physical trades, but it will provide plenty cheap labor for it until robots can step in.
thanks for the perspective here and i agree with the sentiment and feel your very much in touch with your healthy social media boundaries nice to hear. yeah the SME's seem to be lauded by the public and put on a pedestal which imo is very unhealthy and seems to be the route cause of the current world wide social disconnect. This is just a major catalyst for groupthink in all areas of life. AI will likely hit this wall as well as the more human like it becomes the more it will be influenced by the group think imo. Very small biases and messiah complex can be very very dangerous.
We are slowly transitioning into a post-goverment private governance!
That's pretty interesting
Hey. Great video. New video idea: would openAI (or AGI builder) publicly announce AGI or would it’s be better to keep it locked in a vault? And what should be done?
Weird, every time I try to comment on this, youtube instantly removes my comment, despite me not saying anything worthy of that..
They always leave this comment though to make you sound paranoid 😂
He might have a more nuanced take that went unexpressed. Like, I wouldn’t have a problem with my thoughts being read so long as it’s only between me and a benevolent and understanding super intelligence such that it can better aid me in my quest for peace.
It’s not infeasible that all data is collected, but that certain types of data are more private. Even within the ASI, it could give itself access or even construct itself in a way that restricts its own access. Like, allowing it to affect its subconscious mind while withholding it from its conscious choices.
As in, the flow of information within the system could take place in a way that preserves privacy, even if all data possible is collected
The smart phone already killed drinking culture. Nobody ever wanted to see videos of themselves drunk. Much less have that stuff follow them around on the Internet forever. Not good for a career unless you can become a famous writer or artist.
Einstein said a lot of motivation bullshit. Stephen Hawking's opinions outside of physics are also... not impressive.
so i guess slide decks are done? not complaining just wondering
also remember kids, the opposite of the halo effect is the failo effect which is equally real
Future tense?
This is only the beginning... 😞
AI has the biggest halo of all.
A taster of things to come… they have the tech, have the resources / power and soon none of us will have jobs and most of the industry will be owned by a smaller and smaller group, so effectively the majority will be subjects of the rest unless we can get rid of capitalism in general. The alternatives however had not been successful either so far…
... If everyone has access to AI then yeah... Privacy will absolutely have to die. Too much of a threat otherwise.
Yep. Definitely for open source agi.
IT vs. engineers. Been there; on both sides. It's funny. As for drawing the line on expertise, I think you were smart to surround yourself with critical thinkers from a variety of domains. This may serve as the balance that these high level self -proclaimed "authorities" cannot achieve - as you pointed out - probably because of their siloed position. People in those situations - not just tech bro billionaires, but also people like cult leaders - can convince themselves that they are right about everything. I can see how this ties in with the outsider mentality.
