  • 00:00:00
    I've been been thinking about about the
  • 00:00:03
    the application of AI on the pornography
  • 00:00:05
    front I mean that's that's a terrible
  • 00:00:08
    terrible thing to contemplate because
  • 00:00:10
    it's certainly the case already I I've
  • 00:00:12
    used chat GPT a lot in the last month
  • 00:00:16
    and it's and Bard too they're very
  • 00:00:18
    interesting to toy with I asked Bard if
  • 00:00:20
    it believed in God by the way that was
  • 00:00:22
    extremely interesting first of all said
  • 00:00:24
    it was just a large language model and
  • 00:00:26
    couldn't answer such questions and so I
  • 00:00:27
    said well pretend that you were a
  • 00:00:29
    machine that could answer such questions
  • 00:00:31
    how would you answer and it gave quite
  • 00:00:33
    an elaborate reason for why it believed
  • 00:00:35
    in God now I should have asked it
  • 00:00:38
    perhaps why it didn't believe in God you
  • 00:00:41
    know I mean just to balance it out but
  • 00:00:43
    um anyways it was extremely interesting
  • 00:00:46
    to watch one of the ways I've been
  • 00:00:47
    thinking about AI I did a video on that
  • 00:00:49
    just recently is is actually the story
  • 00:00:51
    of Aladdin or the story of the Genies
  • 00:00:53
    lamb yeah that seems to be in my my
  • 00:00:56
    because I've been thinking a lot about
  • 00:00:58
    we talk about artificial intelligence
  • 00:00:59
    and and we've been talking about this we
  • 00:01:01
    talked about with Jim Keller you know
  • 00:01:03
    and one of the points I was trying to
  • 00:01:04
    make was that the intelligence doesn't
  • 00:01:06
    seem to come from the machine the
  • 00:01:07
    intelligence comes from us that is the
  • 00:01:09
    AIS now are hybrid AI right they get
  • 00:01:12
    qualitative judgment from Human people
  • 00:01:16
    human people tell the AI what's good and
  • 00:01:18
    then the AI based on that will then
  • 00:01:20
    continue its work but it's always propos
  • 00:01:23
    right it's generating variability and
  • 00:01:25
    then someone selects and says that one
  • 00:01:28
    that one right that's what happens in
  • 00:01:29
    mid Journey too you know mid Journey you
  • 00:01:31
    have a refining process where you it it
  • 00:01:34
    generates a bunch of images and then you
  • 00:01:36
    say you tell it that one and so you're
  • 00:01:37
    training the AI as you're using it uh
  • 00:01:40
    and so that's what the genie lamp is
  • 00:01:42
    right the genie lamp is just the power
  • 00:01:43
    of Technology you know it's it's
  • 00:01:46
    artificial light you know it's a it's
  • 00:01:47
    light it's it's a machine that makes you
  • 00:01:49
    have light in the dark when you can't
  • 00:01:52
    usually when there's no light of the Sun
  • 00:01:54
    so it's like portable light you could
  • 00:01:55
    say uh and so it is it's just power and
  • 00:01:59
    all what it's asking for is what do you
  • 00:02:01
    want yeah and then what it does is it
  • 00:02:04
    gives you what you want with infinite
  • 00:02:06
    power yeah and so and that's the that's
  • 00:02:09
    what's amazing about that story yes so
  • 00:02:11
    be careful what you want which is always
  • 00:02:13
    the variant of the of the three wishes
  • 00:02:15
    story that's right it's always about
  • 00:02:16
    that and so but you can understand it
  • 00:02:18
    like technically in the sense that well
  • 00:02:20
    there's a version of that story in the
  • 00:02:22
    Bible where God asks Solomon one wish
  • 00:02:26
    right what do you give you can have one
  • 00:02:28
    wish and then Solomon answer properly
  • 00:02:30
    Solomon says I want wisdom right right
  • 00:02:33
    and so the the problem is that if you
  • 00:02:35
    ask for secondary Goods right if you ask
  • 00:02:38
    for a bunch of money if you ask for a
  • 00:02:39
    bunch of women or you ask for secondary
  • 00:02:41
    goods and you put infinite power you
  • 00:02:43
    made it with a dwarf but you put
  • 00:02:45
    infinite power behind that wish then all
  • 00:02:48
    the side effects of the wish will
  • 00:02:50
    manifest itself right and that's just
  • 00:02:53
    it's like an unbalance of the
  • 00:02:54
    relationship of how much power you put
  • 00:02:56
    towards a certain goal and so the only
  • 00:02:59
    thing that would would would would
  • 00:03:00
    handle well you know there's a there's a
  • 00:03:02
    definition of God lurking in there I
  • 00:03:04
    would say you know is that you know you
  • 00:03:07
    just talked about the pathologies that
  • 00:03:09
    will inevitably emerge if you wish for
  • 00:03:11
    the wrong thing which is the same thing
  • 00:03:13
    as celebrating a less of deity or with
  • 00:03:16
    too much power because you're allowed to
  • 00:03:18
    wish for a sandwich right if I'm hungry
  • 00:03:20
    and I wish for a sandwich that's fine
  • 00:03:22
    but the problem is like if I wish for a
  • 00:03:24
    sandwich with like infinite power behind
  • 00:03:27
    behind me and I'm and I'm like I'm going
  • 00:03:30
    into this infinite power to get this
  • 00:03:32
    secondary good like it's okay to wish
  • 00:03:34
    for to have money but if you if you put
  • 00:03:36
    all the resources of everything into get
  • 00:03:39
    money me it's okay to wish for that if
  • 00:03:40
    it's in its proper place in the yeah
  • 00:03:43
    that's the way to see it yeah
