 All right, oh finally something good. All right, so God you've heard over and over and over again. You've probably seen it on Twitter You've seen it every way and television and every way you've seen these Just the stereo the stereo emanating from the industry to a large extent, but from all kinds of pundits and politicians Industry experts and so on the stereo, but AI and AI is gonna kill us all it's devastating. It's it's it's a What do you call it a an extinction level event potentially and there been very few voices defending AI and I saw I was super happy today and not surprised but super happy to find this long Twitter thread it really is a an essay by Mark Adresin Defending AI and and it's just it's just a beautiful piece and I encourage you all to read I'll read you a little bit of it. I encourage you all to read it because he's taking the exact right approach This is how it begins the era of artificial intelligence is here and boy are people freaking out Fortunately, I'm here to bring the good news AI will not destroy the world and in fact AI will save it and Then he goes on right he was on let's see Gives a description of AI and and and he says AI can make everything we care about better everything we care about better And he says the most validated core conclusion of so and again, I would face things definitely but listen This is pretty good the most validated core conclusion of social sciences across many decades and thousands of studies is that human intelligence Makes a very broad range of life outcomes better Smarter people have better outcomes in almost every domain of activity Further human intelligence is the lever that we have used for millennia to create the world We live in today science, technology, math, physics, chemistry, Art everything he lists here without the application of intelligence on all these domains We would all still be living in mud huts scratching out a meager existence of subsist subsistence farming Instead we have used our intelligence Replace that with reason to raise our standard of living in the order of 10,000 X over the last 4,000 years What AI offers us is the opportunity to profoundly augment human intelligence to make all these outcomes of intelligence and many others From the creation of new medicines to ways to solve climate change the technologies to reach the stars much much better from here AI augmentation of human intelligence has already started and You know and he says AI is already around us in the forms of computer control systems of many kinds It's now rapidly escalating with AI large language models like charge you BT and will accelerate very quickly from here If we let it So I think that's great And then he goes on to talk about every child would have an AI tutor and get a customized education Every person will have a personal assistant AI personal assistant every scientist will have an AI assistant collaborate a partner Every every leader everything will have it right He says in short everything that people do with their natural intelligence today can be done much better with AI and We will be able to take on new challenges that have been impossible to tackle without AI From curing all diseases to achieving interstellar travel and this isn't just about intelligence Perhaps the most you know underestimated quality of AI is how humanizing it can be so he actually makes the argument We'll all become nicer You know all of this it's just I mean He says we should be living in a much better world with AI and now we can and Then he goes into why the panic and he analyzes it and I think he does a good job of analyzing It's all do a whole show on this because there's a lot of content here about why the panic What's the panic about why people support it and everything else and he goes he takes all the objections Well, I won our society and he has all they say on that will they like take all our jobs He has an all this and that will AI lead to crippling inequality has an essay on that Will AI lead to bad people doing bad things he has an essay on that You know And then he talks about what I think is the most important one and that is the risk of not Pursuing AI with maximum force and speed That is the real risk So I'll I'll do a show just on this because there's a massive amount of content here That is incredible valuable and we should go over AI in great detail And I'll try to explain what it is. You know, I'm reading up about that. I'm talking to people about it What it is and and and attack every one of the so-called accusations again I've got the guy on Twitter who's constantly telling me that the world is going to end and humanity is all dead within 10 years It sounds like Greta and AI Greta. They've just replaced climate change with AI, but it's bit You know, it's the same kind of same kind of principle So we will do a whole show on AI But but if you if you're on Twitter Or if you could just Google and reason mark and reason on artificial intelligence. It's probably on his website Definitely definitely definitely worth a read But as I said, I will devote a show to that and really analyze it in greater depth Thank you for listening or watching the Iran book show.
