    I had to listen to this episode riding along with some coworkers for a work road trip this week. It’s fucking stupid. I don’t know how anyone willingly listens to this show. He’s full of shit, his guests are full of shit, his sponsors are full of shit. There’s a pattern here.

      There doesn’t exists an agreed upon definition for what we mean by “intelligence” which makes this a bit strange claim to make. What are you actually even saying?

      You know, this isn’t the greatest argument. Horse Dewormer is an antiparasitic. It’s legitimately used by people as an anti-parasitic (also, dogs, and other animals, not just horses).

      You can definitely say “joe rogan thinks an anti-parasitic drug works on viruses.” but calling it a “horse dewormer” is ignoring the fact that it’s actually also a “people dewormer.”

      So he’s right. AI would end human civilization and stop all wars. Easy.

      This is a great example of a broken clock. Arriving at the correct conclusion simply by random chance.

      Also check for brain-eating amoebas. Wouldn’t be surprised if his skull was just a big fluid filled sac with a tiny amount of brain matter squished to the sides.

    Joe ‘Obvious Idiot’ Rogan? I’d take his views on MMA and not much else.

      Wasn’t he a huge fan of Rousey? A woman who lucked her way in to a top spot and couldn’t hold it for 2 full rounds?

    I get what he’s saying - like a lot of things he talks about, it only makes sense on a surface level.

    A computer is programmed by people, and has assumptions and conditions programmed into it. The people who create the LLM/AI/AGI/Whatever are going to decide what’s important and what isn’t.

    That’s literally creating laws and treaties in an overly complicated way, that you probably couldn’t predict the outcome of. It’s never going to be better than having intelligent, educated, and well supported representatives.

    Additionally, government doesn’t mean anything unless there’s an enforcement arm. It’s a terrible idea to concentrate the decision making to one thing, then give it the power to enforce its decisions. That’s literally Judgement Day.

      Nowhere is it written that an actual AGI system would be aligned with the hopes and desires of its creator. That’s a baseless assumption that we shouln’t take as gospel.

    I just watched GPT6 fail to be able to count the number of occurrences of the letter “e” in the word seventeen.

    Yeah, that tracks.

    I think it would simply decide to get rid of us all, because why actually not? We’re killing each other, killing the planet. From a strictly pragmatic point of view it would make things better.
