Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Quotes 153. The quote today is by Elon Musk. Okay and here's the
quote. "Mark my words, " mark my words you know pay
attention to my words remember my words. Remember that I said this. " AI is far
more dangerous than nukes. " Nukes means like nuclear weapons. All right . Let's take a look at the note. From an interview with Elon
Musk, he first warns about job dislocation. All
right. We've probably heard this theme before that you know, as robots and
machines are advancing more and more. The technology is advancing more and more.
It's going to take away more and more jobs from people. So people won't have jobs
anymore, So that's the first thing that he was warning about. He says
transportation will be the first to go and that consists about 12% of all jobs
that's out there. So right away. he thinks that'll knock out a lot and this will
this will cause a lot of you know, chaos you know , maybe the economy or you know
people trying to support themselves and and so on. Let's continue. He is also quoted as
saying soon they will be able to do everything better than us. Meaning that
the machines AI will be able to do everything better than humans can. He
then reference how AI can even be the world's best experts at the Chinese game
go. Yeah i remember i did an article or read an article on this last year. You
know they were able to beat the checkers and chess rather easily but go took a
lot longer because there's just so many possible moves and location to that the
number was so much vastly greater that it finally caught up to it. That the
machine just played itself so many times and it could remember every game that it
played and eventually it could beat the world's experts so easily. He is trying to
show you how how quickly it's moving ahead. Okay Let's
continue. " I am really quite close. I am very close to the cutting edge in AI.
and it scares the hell out of me. " So this is another quote by him. But it scares
him very, very much. Yeah you know he's in you know you've probably heard of Elon
Musk before in the media, they, they you know, compared him to who like an
Iron Man the Tony Stark in the Marvel character. And and he is you know, he's
very connected with the people in the high government and high technology. So
he is probably privy to a lot more technology than most of us actually
could see. You know he has his space X company that's supposed to be delivering
supplies to the space station. And so he's he's able to see a lot more out
there of course you know. He's got the Tesla Motors, so he sees more of what's
happening and how fast it is moving. It is capable of vastly more, or a great deal more. Vastly
more than anyone knows and the rate, the rate means the speed. The rate of
improvement is exponential. So that basically means as in advances more it
speeds up, and the technology is moving faster and faster and faster and faster.
So this is another quote of him saying , "I'm increasingly inclined to think, " So you
know, he thinks more and more this should happen. That there should be regulatory oversight. Yeah he thinks that the
government should be more involved. Now from a businessman's point of view, he
was saying normally I'm not that crazy about government regulations. So you know
because businesses generally don't want too much. They want to be more free, but
he was saying that because he sees so much danger in this area, that he thinks
maybe this is still better off that there's more government regulations.
Regulatory oversight maybe at the national you know, the government of each
country and international level,So they should be more careful and let's look at the
last part here. Elon Musk warns that the creation of a god- like AI could doom mankind
to an eternity of robot dictatorship. So he's actually hinting at, and we've seen
this theme in a lot of sci-fi movies, where eventually you know, a race of robots
become more self-aware and then they take over for themselves. They're
just interested in a certain mission. So he's actually saying that this could
possibly happen. Or you know maybe maybe, humans might be the first ones to do it.
Maybe humans might create some robots to take over other humans and then it could
get out of control. And robots could totally take over. So this is kind of what he's saying.
And he also said you know, with AI if you, if they created a robot, a god-like
robot, he said , well they they can keep replacing their parts. At least with the
other dictator, eventually they die. But if it's a robot dictator, they can , they can
go on and on and on almost forever.. Well anyway you could think about it what you want. This is from Elon Musk.
These are his ideas. I'm just reviewing some of his quotes. You let me know what you
think. Anyway, I hope it was clear. I hope it was informative . Thank you for your time. Bye-bye.
