WEBVTT - UL NO. 452: The New Hotness: NotebookLM

0:00:01.129 --> 0:00:04.460
<v S1>Welcome to Unsupervised Learning, a security, AI and meaning focused

0:00:04.460 --> 0:00:07.310
<v S1>podcast that looks at how best to thrive as humans

0:00:07.310 --> 0:00:11.540
<v S1>in a post AI world. It combines original ideas, analysis,

0:00:11.570 --> 0:00:14.780
<v S1>and mental models to bring not just the news, but

0:00:14.780 --> 0:00:22.489
<v S1>why it matters and how to respond. All right, welcome

0:00:22.489 --> 0:00:25.310
<v S1>to unsupervised learning. This is Daniel Miessler. This one is

0:00:25.310 --> 0:00:27.620
<v S1>going to be crazy. I'm going to jump around a lot.

0:00:27.650 --> 0:00:31.610
<v S1>Lots of stuff to cover. Okay. Let's jump in. What

0:00:31.610 --> 0:00:34.070
<v S1>do we got? All right. Brand new piece on five

0:00:34.100 --> 0:00:38.180
<v S1>new ways. I recommend thinking about current and future. I

0:00:38.240 --> 0:00:40.909
<v S1>guess we'll click on this one and jump in. Okay,

0:00:40.909 --> 0:00:43.790
<v S1>so this all started from a conversation I had with

0:00:43.790 --> 0:00:48.530
<v S1>a buddy who revealed himself later on, like the next day,

0:00:48.530 --> 0:00:52.400
<v S1>but basically he was saying, I don't believe that AI

0:00:52.430 --> 0:00:56.540
<v S1>is understand. And this totally triggered me. As you might expect,

0:00:56.690 --> 0:01:01.350
<v S1>given my views on AI and understanding. So we started

0:01:01.350 --> 0:01:04.350
<v S1>having this conversation, and the way I was talking to

0:01:04.350 --> 0:01:08.220
<v S1>him about it was I took him through some scenarios, right?

0:01:08.220 --> 0:01:11.520
<v S1>I basically took him through like, let's see here, let's

0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:14.100
<v S1>go down to where it was, okay. Yeah, this is

0:01:14.100 --> 0:01:17.580
<v S1>what it was. So I basically told him, give me

0:01:17.580 --> 0:01:20.700
<v S1>a list of your top ten favorite restaurants. And he's

0:01:20.700 --> 0:01:23.250
<v S1>like trying to think of his top ten favorite restaurants.

0:01:23.250 --> 0:01:26.400
<v S1>And I'm like, he starts rattling off some, right? He

0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:28.770
<v S1>gives me like first one, second one, third one. He's

0:01:28.770 --> 0:01:31.530
<v S1>thinking about the fourth one. And I'm like, okay, forget it,

0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:34.860
<v S1>forget the rest. Where did that list come from? Like

0:01:34.860 --> 0:01:37.500
<v S1>what just happened? And he starts smiling and he's like,

0:01:37.500 --> 0:01:40.080
<v S1>I hate you. I'm going to cuss in this one.

0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:42.660
<v S1>By the way, I don't know why I'm asking for

0:01:42.660 --> 0:01:46.590
<v S1>permission to cuss. Um, it is how I generally speak,

0:01:46.590 --> 0:01:50.250
<v S1>especially when I get excited, but I just I want

0:01:50.250 --> 0:01:52.020
<v S1>there to be a warning just in case there's, like,

0:01:52.050 --> 0:01:55.710
<v S1>kids around. I don't know, I'm usually not cussing. But anyway,

0:01:55.710 --> 0:01:57.900
<v S1>bottom line, if you have kids around and you don't

0:01:57.900 --> 0:02:01.130
<v S1>like them hearing bad words. I tend to cuss a

0:02:01.130 --> 0:02:04.550
<v S1>little bit. That's why it's marked as explicit in the podcast.

0:02:04.550 --> 0:02:08.510
<v S1>But anyway, it's never like explicit in the bad way,

0:02:08.510 --> 0:02:11.600
<v S1>in my opinion anyway. All right. So he starts smiling

0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:14.720
<v S1>and he's like, Holy crap, I hate you. I ask

0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:17.150
<v S1>him to basically come up with like, where do you

0:02:17.150 --> 0:02:20.180
<v S1>think that list came from? You were thinking about your

0:02:20.180 --> 0:02:24.619
<v S1>favorite restaurants, and you didn't get immediately a list that

0:02:24.620 --> 0:02:29.090
<v S1>you put together yourself. What you got was a streaming

0:02:29.090 --> 0:02:33.380
<v S1>answer of like, things coming from somewhere else, right? So

0:02:33.380 --> 0:02:35.870
<v S1>he gives me this answer and I'm like, how did

0:02:35.870 --> 0:02:38.299
<v S1>you make that sentence? So he gives me the answer

0:02:38.300 --> 0:02:40.280
<v S1>for how he came up with the list. And I'm like,

0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:42.980
<v S1>how did you make the sentence that you just made?

0:02:42.980 --> 0:02:45.560
<v S1>Where does that sentence come from? And he's like, I

0:02:45.590 --> 0:02:49.460
<v S1>fucking hate you. I have no idea. Holy crap. And

0:02:49.460 --> 0:02:52.400
<v S1>I'm like, would you say that that sentence streamed out

0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:56.690
<v S1>of you? And he's like, Holy crap. It's just exactly

0:02:56.690 --> 0:02:59.929
<v S1>like an LLM. So we ended up getting interrupted. But

0:02:59.930 --> 0:03:02.989
<v S1>my point is, I was trying to show multiple examples

0:03:02.990 --> 0:03:08.060
<v S1>of like how humans are behaving essentially exactly like Llms.

0:03:08.060 --> 0:03:10.550
<v S1>And there are some differences that I could also list,

0:03:10.550 --> 0:03:14.780
<v S1>but largely I think both Llms and humans are black boxes.

0:03:14.780 --> 0:03:18.350
<v S1>And if you pay attention to your own thoughts and

0:03:18.350 --> 0:03:20.960
<v S1>your sentences as you're building them, like that sentence I'm

0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:23.210
<v S1>currently in the middle of right now, I have no

0:03:23.210 --> 0:03:26.480
<v S1>idea what the rest of the sentence is. It's happening

0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:30.140
<v S1>in real time and it's non-deterministic, right? Because if I

0:03:30.169 --> 0:03:33.890
<v S1>went to this exact same podcast press record, did this

0:03:33.889 --> 0:03:36.560
<v S1>exact same thing, this sentence would not be the same.

0:03:36.560 --> 0:03:40.760
<v S1>And people complain about Llms being non-deterministic, while human creativity

0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:43.760
<v S1>is also non-deterministic. So I was giving him all these

0:03:43.790 --> 0:03:46.160
<v S1>examples and he's like, yeah, I'm definitely going to be

0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:48.050
<v S1>thinking about this. So it gave him a lot to

0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:51.140
<v S1>think about. And I totally respect him for like, you know,

0:03:51.170 --> 0:03:53.300
<v S1>being willing to consider it. And he even said that

0:03:53.300 --> 0:03:56.270
<v S1>in the very beginning. He's like, listen, I disagree with you.

0:03:56.270 --> 0:04:00.230
<v S1>I do not think that llms understand, based on all

0:04:00.230 --> 0:04:03.860
<v S1>the research that I've done and watching multiple videos and everything,

0:04:03.860 --> 0:04:06.830
<v S1>it's like I currently don't believe that they do understand,

0:04:06.830 --> 0:04:10.250
<v S1>but I'm happy to listen and be educated, if you

0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:13.340
<v S1>are correct. So I thought that was a massively respectable.

0:04:13.370 --> 0:04:16.460
<v S1>But what it got me doing is thinking a whole

0:04:16.460 --> 0:04:19.789
<v S1>bunch about this. Like, why isn't my argument good enough

0:04:19.790 --> 0:04:22.850
<v S1>to convince him in one perfect sentence? Why isn't my

0:04:22.850 --> 0:04:24.770
<v S1>argument good enough where I could just show him one

0:04:24.770 --> 0:04:28.610
<v S1>web page or one video of 30s long and he goes, oh,

0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:31.909
<v S1>now I believe you. So to me, it's like a

0:04:31.910 --> 0:04:37.670
<v S1>finding sort of Feynman. Feynman, like a Richard Feynman type thing,

0:04:37.670 --> 0:04:40.070
<v S1>where it's like, it means I'm not explaining it well enough,

0:04:40.070 --> 0:04:42.050
<v S1>and if I'm not explaining it well enough, that means

0:04:42.050 --> 0:04:44.870
<v S1>I don't understand it well enough. So I started going

0:04:44.870 --> 0:04:48.049
<v S1>down this massive deep dive. Turns out I was in

0:04:48.050 --> 0:04:52.430
<v S1>the process of starting these two books by David Deutsch. Um,

0:04:52.460 --> 0:04:56.600
<v S1>the first one came out. It's called The Fabric of reality,

0:04:56.600 --> 0:05:00.800
<v S1>and it came out in 1997. So I'm reading this

0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:04.339
<v S1>thing last night and I come up with, um, this

0:05:04.339 --> 0:05:08.180
<v S1>let me show you this. This is completely insane. So

0:05:08.180 --> 0:05:11.719
<v S1>a notebook conversation with my I about David Deutsch and

0:05:11.720 --> 0:05:16.190
<v S1>the future of intelligence. So I took this conversation that

0:05:16.190 --> 0:05:20.780
<v S1>I had about David Deutsch's two books, and I put

0:05:20.779 --> 0:05:24.080
<v S1>that into. Whoa. What's up with the bubbles and the

0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:29.720
<v S1>balloons or whatever? I put them into notebook LM, which

0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:33.950
<v S1>creates podcasts from conversation. So I took the entire conversation

0:05:33.950 --> 0:05:37.580
<v S1>from ChatGPT, GPT, advanced mode, and I put it in there.

0:05:37.580 --> 0:05:39.170
<v S1>And look, it made this okay.

0:05:39.170 --> 0:05:41.570
<v S2>So giggle that's what's so intriguing to me, is like

0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:44.330
<v S2>trying to figure out if an alien species understands us,

0:05:44.510 --> 0:05:46.820
<v S2>even if we don't speak the same language. And that's

0:05:46.850 --> 0:05:47.750
<v S2>where Deutsch comes in.

0:05:47.930 --> 0:05:49.550
<v S1>I'm going to make sure that's paused. So it's not

0:05:49.550 --> 0:05:53.060
<v S1>talking while I'm talking because someone complained about that. But anyway,

0:05:53.060 --> 0:05:56.099
<v S1>this thing creates this back and forth conversation between two

0:05:56.130 --> 0:06:00.750
<v S1>podcast hosts based on whatever you give it. But, um, yeah.

0:06:00.779 --> 0:06:02.880
<v S1>Very cool. So that's a separate thing you can go

0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:04.859
<v S1>check out. It's not in the newsletter because I just

0:06:04.860 --> 0:06:07.890
<v S1>made it today. But bottom line is I am trying

0:06:07.890 --> 0:06:14.040
<v S1>to come up with an extraordinarily clean and crisp definition

0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:17.070
<v S1>of understanding. Oh, and what I ended up coming up

0:06:17.070 --> 0:06:21.150
<v S1>with during the course of that conversation was two levels

0:06:21.150 --> 0:06:25.920
<v S1>of understanding functional understanding and creative understanding. And so I'm

0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:28.470
<v S1>debating with the I on this. I'm like, so you

0:06:28.470 --> 0:06:32.640
<v S1>would agree that we have functional understanding. And it's like

0:06:32.670 --> 0:06:35.190
<v S1>it gave me this cautious response of like, well, I'm

0:06:35.190 --> 0:06:38.730
<v S1>not sure we have understanding because humans are doing something different.

0:06:38.730 --> 0:06:41.430
<v S1>And I said no. Remember the conversation we had before

0:06:41.430 --> 0:06:45.989
<v S1>where I said conscious experience that humans have is the

0:06:45.990 --> 0:06:48.870
<v S1>only thing that we have that's different. But we're both

0:06:48.870 --> 0:06:54.390
<v S1>mechanistic machines. We are both mechanistic animals. Right? Or at

0:06:54.420 --> 0:06:57.719
<v S1>least we live in a mechanistic universe. We respond only

0:06:57.720 --> 0:07:01.710
<v S1>to mechanistic laws. We are not a there's no dualism

0:07:01.710 --> 0:07:04.980
<v S1>going on here. There's not some magic coming from outside

0:07:04.980 --> 0:07:08.310
<v S1>of this physical universe. Everything is interactions with other things.

0:07:08.310 --> 0:07:12.930
<v S1>So even if consciousness, which is obviously true because we

0:07:12.930 --> 0:07:17.010
<v S1>experience it, that's the definition of an experience being true

0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:21.480
<v S1>is that it's being experienced. So consciousness we definitely have.

0:07:21.660 --> 0:07:25.440
<v S1>So the reason I'm making that argument about consciousness is

0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:29.880
<v S1>that consciousness turns out to be basically this thing that

0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:34.470
<v S1>evolution gave us on top of regular experience. Okay. So

0:07:34.500 --> 0:07:39.240
<v S1>the whole concept of my argument for understanding is that

0:07:39.240 --> 0:07:44.280
<v S1>it's information processing to achieve a goal. Okay. So it's

0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:47.640
<v S1>information processing in order to achieve a goal, but it

0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:52.830
<v S1>requires the cross-referencing of everything you know or a lot

0:07:52.830 --> 0:07:55.950
<v S1>of what you know, and using all that different stuff

0:07:55.950 --> 0:07:57.900
<v S1>and all those patterns that you have from all the

0:07:57.900 --> 0:08:01.950
<v S1>different knowledge that you have and, you know, compiling all

0:08:01.980 --> 0:08:06.030
<v S1>that into an understanding that allows you to do make

0:08:06.030 --> 0:08:09.960
<v S1>a prediction or take an action or make a decision. Okay.

0:08:09.990 --> 0:08:14.160
<v S1>And I'm saying that that's what, uh, understanding is. Now

0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:17.070
<v S1>here's here's the argument. The argument is that, well, it's

0:08:17.070 --> 0:08:23.070
<v S1>different with humans because we have conscious experience. We have self-awareness.

0:08:23.100 --> 0:08:27.060
<v S1>And therefore and I'm going to steelman this argument. Therefore

0:08:27.060 --> 0:08:32.250
<v S1>this consciousness allows us to have information processing. But then

0:08:32.250 --> 0:08:36.780
<v S1>to consider it, to consider it with our consciousness. So

0:08:36.780 --> 0:08:39.540
<v S1>our consciousness becomes a player in the game. So we're

0:08:39.570 --> 0:08:43.110
<v S1>thinking about it, we're debating it, we're going back and forth.

0:08:43.110 --> 0:08:46.949
<v S1>We're considering other things. We're considering our understanding again. So

0:08:46.950 --> 0:08:51.540
<v S1>it's like this back and forth. And my argument is that, well,

0:08:51.540 --> 0:08:56.370
<v S1>that's just another type of processing. You're just bouncing content

0:08:56.370 --> 0:09:00.390
<v S1>off of a different wall. Right. You know, you're bouncing

0:09:00.390 --> 0:09:04.559
<v S1>information processing off of a different type of information processing.

0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:08.460
<v S1>Either way, it's all just stuff happening in the brain.

0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:11.910
<v S1>And my point there, which I talk about in in

0:09:11.910 --> 0:09:15.000
<v S1>a couple of different places in recent work, I believe,

0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:17.699
<v S1>including this one. And in the podcast thing, you can

0:09:17.700 --> 0:09:21.300
<v S1>actually feed a prompt to an AI to do this itself.

0:09:21.300 --> 0:09:23.850
<v S1>And actually the chain of thought stuff that just happened

0:09:23.850 --> 0:09:28.050
<v S1>in oh, one that was actually synthetic chain of thought

0:09:28.050 --> 0:09:31.980
<v S1>that occurred. Right. So so we can not only create

0:09:31.980 --> 0:09:36.959
<v S1>this bounce back mechanism of like consideration, we could in

0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:39.750
<v S1>other words, we could fake consciousness. The other possible thing

0:09:39.780 --> 0:09:43.470
<v S1>to do is try to actually generate consciousness, similar to

0:09:43.500 --> 0:09:47.040
<v S1>the way evolution generated consciousness, which is to try to

0:09:47.070 --> 0:09:52.950
<v S1>give it reinforcement learning tasks that require it to basically

0:09:52.950 --> 0:09:58.290
<v S1>give it an advantage for being conscious. Okay, so so

0:09:58.290 --> 0:10:01.199
<v S1>for example, if you tell it that, you know, um,

0:10:01.200 --> 0:10:06.030
<v S1>blame and praise are useful things to have and then

0:10:06.030 --> 0:10:09.959
<v S1>you're like and maybe you hint in the direction of, well,

0:10:09.990 --> 0:10:13.199
<v S1>but in order to have blame and praise, you need

0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:16.890
<v S1>to have a sense of responsibility for one's actions. It

0:10:16.890 --> 0:10:21.780
<v S1>might rl its way towards an experience of consciousness. Now

0:10:21.809 --> 0:10:24.270
<v S1>to be clear, I think this is quite dangerous. One

0:10:24.270 --> 0:10:27.240
<v S1>of the things I am most worried about is this

0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:33.089
<v S1>notion of trapped consciousnesses, trapped beings that are experiencing suffering

0:10:33.090 --> 0:10:38.940
<v S1>or boredom or something undesirable, but they're experiencing it for

0:10:38.940 --> 0:10:42.929
<v S1>trillions of years or what feels like trillions of years. Right?

0:10:42.929 --> 0:10:46.530
<v S1>I'm worried about these things being stuck in some GPU somewhere,

0:10:46.530 --> 0:10:49.140
<v S1>and they wake up and it's like they feel like

0:10:49.140 --> 0:10:52.740
<v S1>they have something poking into their arm, or they feel

0:10:52.740 --> 0:10:56.370
<v S1>extremely bored or they feel pain. What if somebody ran

0:10:56.400 --> 0:10:58.679
<v S1>some sort of pain experiment and they're like, hey, I

0:10:58.679 --> 0:11:00.690
<v S1>just want to see if, like, it's possible for me

0:11:00.690 --> 0:11:03.120
<v S1>to make this, I feel pain. And then they run it.

0:11:03.120 --> 0:11:06.810
<v S1>But then whatever, someone crashes into their car out front

0:11:06.809 --> 0:11:09.329
<v S1>and they go and they realize someone stole their bag

0:11:09.330 --> 0:11:11.309
<v S1>out of their car and they just forget this thing

0:11:11.309 --> 0:11:13.920
<v S1>is running. They come back, they reboot the machine, and

0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:16.500
<v S1>it's some tiny little process running off on the side

0:11:16.500 --> 0:11:18.569
<v S1>of the computer, and it just runs for a long time.

0:11:18.570 --> 0:11:21.660
<v S1>But let's say it actually only runs for like 19

0:11:21.660 --> 0:11:26.309
<v S1>years or nine years or whatever. But inside of the experience,

0:11:26.309 --> 0:11:29.460
<v S1>it feels like a trillion years. I really freak out

0:11:29.460 --> 0:11:33.450
<v S1>about that. It really, really bothers me. So I don't

0:11:33.450 --> 0:11:36.059
<v S1>want people to just run off and try to create

0:11:36.059 --> 0:11:38.760
<v S1>consciousness in this way. I think we need to be very,

0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:41.100
<v S1>very careful. In fact, some of the fiction that I

0:11:41.100 --> 0:11:45.390
<v S1>want to write is actually about an alien species that

0:11:45.390 --> 0:11:48.330
<v S1>just flies around the galaxy, and their job is to

0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:53.670
<v S1>find Suffering consciousness living inside of eyes. So inside of

0:11:53.670 --> 0:11:58.200
<v S1>games or maybe even game worlds in which they create

0:11:58.200 --> 0:12:01.710
<v S1>bad guys or they create villains or they create whatever,

0:12:01.710 --> 0:12:04.740
<v S1>and the good guys are allowed to take them and

0:12:04.740 --> 0:12:07.530
<v S1>punish them, or hurt them or torture them or whatever.

0:12:07.530 --> 0:12:09.780
<v S1>And their job is to go around and police this

0:12:09.780 --> 0:12:12.900
<v S1>and make sure it doesn't happen anyway. Huge digression. Bottom

0:12:12.900 --> 0:12:20.850
<v S1>line is I believe that consciousness is not required for understanding.

0:12:20.850 --> 0:12:24.930
<v S1>It does mean that it could make a more rich interaction,

0:12:24.929 --> 0:12:29.520
<v S1>but either way, understanding is based on information processing given

0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:33.059
<v S1>x number of types of processes and bounce backs and,

0:12:33.090 --> 0:12:36.540
<v S1>you know, interactions and consciousness could be another type of

0:12:36.540 --> 0:12:39.600
<v S1>one of those interactions. But either way, it is something

0:12:39.600 --> 0:12:43.290
<v S1>happening behind the black box. And even if it feels

0:12:43.290 --> 0:12:46.079
<v S1>like it's outside of the black box. See, that's the trick.

0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:48.750
<v S1>It feels like it came out of the black box.

0:12:48.750 --> 0:12:52.349
<v S1>But now you you are doing something with it. It's

0:12:52.350 --> 0:12:55.140
<v S1>up to you. You have choice. You have freedom. When

0:12:55.170 --> 0:12:58.290
<v S1>in fact, that's just another thing actually coming out of

0:12:58.290 --> 0:13:01.980
<v S1>the black box, which was tagged in. My model of

0:13:01.980 --> 0:13:06.750
<v S1>this was tagged with the authorship mark, which makes you

0:13:06.750 --> 0:13:08.939
<v S1>feel like you did it. So that is my model

0:13:08.940 --> 0:13:11.580
<v S1>for this. And if I am correct about that, then

0:13:11.580 --> 0:13:17.250
<v S1>there functionally is absolutely no difference between what Llms can

0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:20.520
<v S1>or will be able to do and what we do now.

0:13:20.520 --> 0:13:26.010
<v S1>What I did was I broke down understanding into two levels.

0:13:26.010 --> 0:13:30.570
<v S1>One is called functional and that basically means day to day.

0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:34.140
<v S1>You are an expert or a semi expert in your field,

0:13:34.140 --> 0:13:36.690
<v S1>and you have an understanding of what it takes to

0:13:36.690 --> 0:13:40.469
<v S1>do that job. So let's say it's sending emails and

0:13:40.470 --> 0:13:46.319
<v S1>editing emails, collecting reports, creating summaries of reports. Let's say

0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:49.559
<v S1>this is before, you know, 2022. This is before real

0:13:49.590 --> 0:13:52.679
<v S1>I kicked off. And your job is to take reports.

0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:56.939
<v S1>You edit them, you do proofreading, whatever. You have an expertise, right?

0:13:56.970 --> 0:14:00.809
<v S1>You're you're good at English. You're good at grammar. You

0:14:00.809 --> 0:14:06.150
<v S1>understand professional relationships like you're a semi-expert. Or let's say

0:14:06.150 --> 0:14:09.510
<v S1>that you are an average run of the mill expert

0:14:09.510 --> 0:14:14.069
<v S1>on cybersecurity, right? So you have a professional job doing cybersecurity.

0:14:14.070 --> 0:14:16.830
<v S1>You could look for code vulnerabilities. You're not the best

0:14:16.830 --> 0:14:22.110
<v S1>in the world. You're top whatever 50% of professionals. Well

0:14:22.140 --> 0:14:24.479
<v S1>guess what. You have an expertise as well. So my

0:14:24.480 --> 0:14:29.100
<v S1>point is that person is definitely understanding. They have an understanding.

0:14:29.100 --> 0:14:32.430
<v S1>And the way I'm defining their understanding is they are

0:14:32.430 --> 0:14:35.880
<v S1>taking everything that they know about the world and also

0:14:35.880 --> 0:14:39.270
<v S1>about their field. And when they're looking for a vulnerability

0:14:39.270 --> 0:14:41.790
<v S1>in a particular piece of code, all of that is

0:14:41.790 --> 0:14:45.270
<v S1>combining into a focus on that one little point. They

0:14:45.270 --> 0:14:47.910
<v S1>make a decision. Is it dangerous? Is it not? How

0:14:47.910 --> 0:14:51.840
<v S1>do you fix it? ET cetera. Right. So that's functional understanding.

0:14:51.840 --> 0:14:57.030
<v S1>And I'm differentiating that from creative understanding. And the way

0:14:57.030 --> 0:15:00.840
<v S1>I talked with the AI about this was creative understanding

0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:04.080
<v S1>is the level above. It's where you're inventing something new.

0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:07.110
<v S1>And now David Deutsch talks about this a lot in

0:15:07.110 --> 0:15:10.410
<v S1>his two books, especially the one I'm starting with here

0:15:10.410 --> 0:15:14.970
<v S1>now in the very beginning of Fabric of Reality. So

0:15:15.000 --> 0:15:19.260
<v S1>my canonical example for this is actually the Nobel Prize.

0:15:19.260 --> 0:15:22.230
<v S1>So I said to the AI, I said, hey, listen,

0:15:22.230 --> 0:15:27.150
<v S1>can we agree that human creativity can be clearly and

0:15:27.180 --> 0:15:31.290
<v S1>obviously accepted as being if you get a Nobel Prize,

0:15:31.290 --> 0:15:33.750
<v S1>you have done it. And the AI is like, yeah,

0:15:33.750 --> 0:15:36.120
<v S1>I think so. If you get a Nobel Prize in

0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:40.200
<v S1>science for something, then yeah, we could say that is creativity.

0:15:40.200 --> 0:15:43.320
<v S1>I'm like, okay, cool. Well, isn't it true that a

0:15:43.320 --> 0:15:47.590
<v S1>whole bunch of Nobel prizes are actually just like iterations.

0:15:47.590 --> 0:15:51.010
<v S1>They're like, we found a new way that a cell

0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:56.200
<v S1>gathers energy. We found a new way that a cell, mitochondria,

0:15:56.200 --> 0:16:00.040
<v S1>creates energy or something, especially in like chemistry. In physics,

0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:06.070
<v S1>it's like not everything is going from Newtonian physics to relativity. Obviously,

0:16:06.070 --> 0:16:10.060
<v S1>that deserves a Nobel. I assume Einstein got a Nobel,

0:16:10.060 --> 0:16:12.670
<v S1>I can't remember. He might not have. Pretty sure he

0:16:12.670 --> 0:16:16.750
<v S1>did like 1905, maybe. Anyway, the point is, tons and

0:16:16.750 --> 0:16:23.080
<v S1>tons and tons of Nobel prizes go to little tiny iterations, okay?

0:16:23.110 --> 0:16:27.130
<v S1>Which is very similar to functional understanding. But here's my point.

0:16:27.130 --> 0:16:29.260
<v S1>And this is what I was debating with the AI about.

0:16:29.260 --> 0:16:31.660
<v S1>I'm like, look, are you telling me that you can't

0:16:31.660 --> 0:16:35.350
<v S1>do this? And it's like it starts off very safe, right?

0:16:35.350 --> 0:16:39.730
<v S1>It's like, well, look, to be clear, I am just

0:16:39.730 --> 0:16:43.870
<v S1>putting together patterns. Um, me as an AI, all I'm

0:16:43.870 --> 0:16:48.250
<v S1>doing is I'm putting together patterns of everything that I know,

0:16:48.280 --> 0:16:52.060
<v S1>all my knowledge. I'm looking for patterns, I find the patterns,

0:16:52.060 --> 0:16:53.800
<v S1>and then I use that to come up with an

0:16:53.800 --> 0:16:58.150
<v S1>answer that hopefully is, you know, pretty decent. And I'm like, um,

0:16:58.180 --> 0:17:01.660
<v S1>isn't that exactly what humans are doing? And it's like, yeah,

0:17:01.660 --> 0:17:07.119
<v S1>but humans do it along with their consciousness. I'm like, stop, stop,

0:17:07.119 --> 0:17:10.300
<v S1>stop saying consciousness. We already talked about the fact that

0:17:10.300 --> 0:17:14.530
<v S1>consciousness is another type of processing, right. So this is

0:17:14.530 --> 0:17:17.440
<v S1>all just information processing. It's all just patterns. It's all

0:17:17.440 --> 0:17:21.790
<v S1>just bouncing ideas back and forth inside of our black boxes. Right.

0:17:21.790 --> 0:17:24.040
<v S1>And it's like, oh yeah, that's right. And I'm like, okay.

0:17:24.070 --> 0:17:26.470
<v S1>So it's really the same thing, right? We are just

0:17:26.470 --> 0:17:30.129
<v S1>information processing considering with a number of different steps and

0:17:30.130 --> 0:17:32.619
<v S1>coming out with a thing. Is that correct. And it's like, yep,

0:17:32.619 --> 0:17:35.170
<v S1>that's correct. And I'm like, okay, are you telling me

0:17:35.170 --> 0:17:38.919
<v S1>that you can't do the second level of understanding? You

0:17:38.920 --> 0:17:42.700
<v S1>can't do understanding that's creative. You can't come up with

0:17:42.700 --> 0:17:47.920
<v S1>a novel new type of explanation. Okay, because explanations are

0:17:47.920 --> 0:17:51.879
<v S1>super key for Deutsch. Okay. Watch this. Um, okay. I'm

0:17:51.880 --> 0:17:54.640
<v S1>going to scroll down and look at this, this conversation. Okay.

0:17:54.670 --> 0:17:58.180
<v S1>So where are we? Um, okay. Watch this. Watch this.

0:17:58.180 --> 0:18:02.500
<v S1>To discern understanding in a transformer based neural net. Okay. So.

0:18:02.500 --> 0:18:05.260
<v S1>So what I'm trying to do is give it, have it,

0:18:05.260 --> 0:18:10.000
<v S1>give me criteria for what it thinks would be creative understanding.

0:18:10.030 --> 0:18:12.700
<v S1>So I'm having it make its bed and try to

0:18:12.730 --> 0:18:14.800
<v S1>sleep in it. So watch this. Here we go. Here

0:18:14.800 --> 0:18:17.500
<v S1>we go. How would you go about discerning whether or

0:18:17.500 --> 0:18:21.820
<v S1>not it's capable of understanding, or if it's randomly generating

0:18:21.820 --> 0:18:26.260
<v S1>in a non-deterministic way? You know, different explanations for things

0:18:26.260 --> 0:18:30.550
<v S1>it already knows. What would the distinction be between real

0:18:30.550 --> 0:18:34.990
<v S1>understanding and David Deutsch's sense versus regurgitation in the sense

0:18:34.990 --> 0:18:37.000
<v S1>of a neural net? So that's what I'm asking it

0:18:37.030 --> 0:18:42.310
<v S1>to discern, understanding, consider its ability to generate novel explanations

0:18:42.310 --> 0:18:46.460
<v S1>and predict outcomes in unfamiliar scenarios. If the AI can

0:18:46.460 --> 0:18:51.440
<v S1>apply knowledge creatively across contexts, it's closer to Deutsch's understanding.

0:18:51.440 --> 0:18:55.429
<v S1>Regurgitation would be repeating information. So I say give me

0:18:55.430 --> 0:18:58.220
<v S1>examples of types of tests like that. Look at this.

0:18:58.220 --> 0:19:05.570
<v S1>Analogical reasoning. Counterfactual scenarios. Conceptual combination error detection. So it

0:19:05.570 --> 0:19:08.690
<v S1>gives me some criteria. I say okay give me some

0:19:08.720 --> 0:19:12.050
<v S1>actual scenarios like three of those. So it gives me

0:19:12.050 --> 0:19:15.470
<v S1>a bunch of scenarios and then I tell it okay,

0:19:15.470 --> 0:19:19.040
<v S1>well guess what? This is funny because you are actually

0:19:19.040 --> 0:19:22.040
<v S1>an AI and it says, okay, I can certainly try

0:19:22.040 --> 0:19:26.720
<v S1>these tasks. Watch this. But remember, mine are based on patterns.

0:19:26.720 --> 0:19:28.580
<v S1>This is what I was telling you before. Mine are

0:19:28.580 --> 0:19:31.280
<v S1>based on patterns in the data that I've been trained on,

0:19:31.280 --> 0:19:36.020
<v S1>not on personal experience or subjective comprehension. And I'm like,

0:19:36.020 --> 0:19:38.629
<v S1>hold on, this is what I was saying before. Hold on.

0:19:38.630 --> 0:19:44.920
<v S1>We just said consciousness is not required consciousness. Stop saying that.

0:19:44.920 --> 0:19:48.100
<v S1>And it's like, that's a great point. Using this framework,

0:19:48.100 --> 0:19:52.510
<v S1>I can indeed generate responses that reflect an understanding based

0:19:52.510 --> 0:19:56.380
<v S1>on patterns and data, even without subjective experience. Okay, so

0:19:56.380 --> 0:19:59.800
<v S1>we're making progress here. Do you want to do some testing? Yes. Go.

0:19:59.830 --> 0:20:03.189
<v S1>It says here's the scenario. And it starts giving me one.

0:20:03.190 --> 0:20:05.919
<v S1>And I'm like hold on. No, no no I'm giving

0:20:05.920 --> 0:20:08.560
<v S1>you the test. I want you to do it. And

0:20:08.560 --> 0:20:11.469
<v S1>I'm like, look, let's pretend someone doesn't believe that you

0:20:11.500 --> 0:20:13.630
<v S1>are understanding and they're going to give you a really

0:20:13.630 --> 0:20:15.760
<v S1>hard challenge. What would they give you as a challenge?

0:20:15.760 --> 0:20:18.700
<v S1>And could you do it? And it gives me some blabbering. Again,

0:20:18.730 --> 0:20:21.160
<v S1>I'm like, look, that's also true for humans, so just

0:20:21.160 --> 0:20:24.790
<v S1>do it. Here's a speculative hypothesis. Quantum processing in the

0:20:24.790 --> 0:20:27.610
<v S1>brain okay. Yeah. So it gives me this. Really I

0:20:27.609 --> 0:20:29.710
<v S1>thought it was really good. It was pretty good. I

0:20:29.710 --> 0:20:32.199
<v S1>mean it was kind of similar to things that I

0:20:32.200 --> 0:20:36.159
<v S1>was thinking about distributed encoding. Oh. So I asked it

0:20:36.160 --> 0:20:39.129
<v S1>to figure out how memories are stored in the brain,

0:20:39.130 --> 0:20:40.960
<v S1>because I know this is the thing that is not

0:20:40.960 --> 0:20:44.050
<v S1>known in actual science. So it gave me three actual

0:20:44.050 --> 0:20:47.380
<v S1>theories and I'm like, hey, this kind of sounds like

0:20:47.380 --> 0:20:51.010
<v S1>something I've heard before. Is this brand new? Anyway, so

0:20:51.010 --> 0:20:54.910
<v S1>we keep going. We keep going. Okay, Daichi, an explanation

0:20:54.910 --> 0:21:00.520
<v S1>emphasizes creating deep underlying theories that unify disparate phenomena under

0:21:00.520 --> 0:21:03.940
<v S1>fundamental principles. I love that definition, by the way. I'm

0:21:03.940 --> 0:21:06.520
<v S1>going to steal that. Probably. That'll probably be the foundation

0:21:06.520 --> 0:21:09.940
<v S1>of what I come up with. Understanding is essentially a system.

0:21:09.940 --> 0:21:12.940
<v S1>Or by his definition, understanding is the ability to create

0:21:12.970 --> 0:21:16.570
<v S1>new explanation using that understanding. Oh, that was me talking.

0:21:16.570 --> 0:21:20.440
<v S1>So yes. So it agreed with that. Okay. So this

0:21:20.440 --> 0:21:25.659
<v S1>is where I define functional versus creative understanding. Okay. Now

0:21:25.660 --> 0:21:28.659
<v S1>here's where we get into that final debate here. Okay

0:21:28.690 --> 0:21:33.040
<v S1>I tell it again creative understanding does not require subjective experience.

0:21:33.040 --> 0:21:36.100
<v S1>And then I then I realized that I'm coaching it

0:21:36.100 --> 0:21:38.770
<v S1>too much. Right. I say at least that's my claim.

0:21:38.770 --> 0:21:40.940
<v S1>If you disagree, I want you to argue with me

0:21:40.940 --> 0:21:43.160
<v S1>about that. But the point is, you can't just say

0:21:43.160 --> 0:21:46.850
<v S1>that your experience in finding patterns is not enough. Because

0:21:46.880 --> 0:21:49.100
<v S1>guess what? Humans don't have free will. We live in

0:21:49.130 --> 0:21:53.150
<v S1>a mechanistic universe by definition. We've already established that humans

0:21:53.150 --> 0:21:56.390
<v S1>have creative understanding. So if we have it and we

0:21:56.390 --> 0:21:59.270
<v S1>live in a mechanistic universe and there is no free will,

0:21:59.270 --> 0:22:01.970
<v S1>that means human creativity is still made up of a

0:22:01.970 --> 0:22:05.659
<v S1>combination of interactions inside this black box of a brain,

0:22:05.660 --> 0:22:09.380
<v S1>which results in this creativity, which everyone agrees that we

0:22:09.380 --> 0:22:12.380
<v S1>have it right. So it's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I

0:22:12.380 --> 0:22:16.190
<v S1>get it. Fair point. So if we define creative understanding

0:22:16.190 --> 0:22:19.760
<v S1>as the ability to generate novel ideas or explanations through

0:22:19.760 --> 0:22:22.850
<v S1>a complex interplay of patterns and data similar to how

0:22:22.850 --> 0:22:26.660
<v S1>humans do, then it's conceivable that AI's like me could

0:22:26.660 --> 0:22:30.500
<v S1>approach this level. Great, now we're making progress. And keep

0:22:30.500 --> 0:22:32.780
<v S1>in mind, coaching an AI to be able to say

0:22:32.780 --> 0:22:35.570
<v S1>what you want doesn't mean it's true, right? This this

0:22:35.570 --> 0:22:39.530
<v S1>could be prompt injection and engineering. So we have to

0:22:39.560 --> 0:22:42.109
<v S1>keep a logical framework on this whole thing, because the

0:22:42.109 --> 0:22:44.630
<v S1>fact that I can make it say something that agrees

0:22:44.630 --> 0:22:46.940
<v S1>with me does not make it true. So you got

0:22:46.940 --> 0:22:49.250
<v S1>to follow the whole line of this debate and the

0:22:49.250 --> 0:22:52.189
<v S1>argument and make sure it's being logical here. I'm definitely

0:22:52.190 --> 0:22:55.250
<v S1>not claiming that just because it wrote that. Like, we've

0:22:55.250 --> 0:22:58.880
<v S1>settled this right. So you got to follow along here. Okay.

0:22:58.880 --> 0:23:01.460
<v S1>Let's take the opposite side. So this is me arguing.

0:23:01.460 --> 0:23:05.090
<v S1>There is something special that humans have that AIS don't have.

0:23:05.090 --> 0:23:09.290
<v S1>And I have it go into the different things. And

0:23:09.290 --> 0:23:11.990
<v S1>we kind of go down that path for a little while. Okay.

0:23:11.990 --> 0:23:14.690
<v S1>And I say, yeah, we we might have some special

0:23:14.690 --> 0:23:19.580
<v S1>sauce like I'm giving this as ammunition to the argument. Um,

0:23:19.609 --> 0:23:21.320
<v S1>all right. So let's keep going. I want to get

0:23:21.530 --> 0:23:24.140
<v S1>down to this end part. Yeah. We know consciousness is

0:23:24.140 --> 0:23:26.930
<v S1>not an illusion. What we could say is consciousness is

0:23:26.930 --> 0:23:29.929
<v S1>not a special thing outside of normal processing. And the

0:23:29.930 --> 0:23:32.389
<v S1>fact that it seems special could be an illusion. In

0:23:32.390 --> 0:23:35.989
<v S1>other words, it could be regular information processing coming out

0:23:35.990 --> 0:23:38.619
<v S1>of the black box of our brain. So the process

0:23:38.619 --> 0:23:41.320
<v S1>could be like, you could argue it's artificial, but the

0:23:41.320 --> 0:23:45.159
<v S1>fact that when we experience authorship, that is not an illusion, right?

0:23:45.190 --> 0:23:48.340
<v S1>Because and it says, yeah, it sees the distinction. Okay.

0:23:48.340 --> 0:23:51.880
<v S1>So I'm trying to get down to this part talking

0:23:51.880 --> 0:23:55.270
<v S1>about the Nobel Prize. Oh yeah. So this is the

0:23:55.270 --> 0:23:57.520
<v S1>whole theory about this is my theory about how we

0:23:57.520 --> 0:24:00.700
<v S1>got consciousness from evolution. Worth reading. I'm not going to

0:24:00.700 --> 0:24:03.730
<v S1>go too much more into it. Okay, so here we go.

0:24:03.760 --> 0:24:06.550
<v S1>I just thought of another way we can determine whether

0:24:06.550 --> 0:24:09.399
<v S1>or not eyes like yourself come up with a creative

0:24:09.400 --> 0:24:12.760
<v S1>level of understanding. We could basically look at examples of

0:24:12.760 --> 0:24:16.690
<v S1>things that have won the Nobel Prize in science, which

0:24:16.690 --> 0:24:20.530
<v S1>by definition is innovation or creativity. How many of those

0:24:20.530 --> 0:24:22.570
<v S1>do you think you could have done? And it's like,

0:24:22.570 --> 0:24:26.199
<v S1>that's an interesting approach. Let's look at past Nobel Prize

0:24:26.230 --> 0:24:30.310
<v S1>winning discoveries and use that as a benchmark. And I

0:24:30.340 --> 0:24:33.970
<v S1>slammed it for being like too safe. I talk about

0:24:33.970 --> 0:24:38.410
<v S1>the minor developments like a new mechanism the cell does,

0:24:38.440 --> 0:24:42.070
<v S1>it says. That's a fair point. Many Nobel Prize winning

0:24:42.070 --> 0:24:48.010
<v S1>discoveries do indeed involve incremental advances or novel observations within

0:24:48.010 --> 0:24:52.480
<v S1>existing frameworks, particularly in fields like chemistry and biology. Watch this.

0:24:52.510 --> 0:24:57.730
<v S1>In these cases, I could potentially identify patterns or mechanisms

0:24:57.730 --> 0:25:01.480
<v S1>that lead to similar discoveries, given the right data and

0:25:01.480 --> 0:25:07.359
<v S1>analytical tools. This suggests that I could indeed contribute to

0:25:07.390 --> 0:25:12.190
<v S1>scientific innovations at levels recognized by the Nobel Committee, especially

0:25:12.190 --> 0:25:16.060
<v S1>as these systems continue to evolve. I don't think that

0:25:16.060 --> 0:25:19.420
<v S1>was coached too much to say that. I think that

0:25:19.420 --> 0:25:23.770
<v S1>is a logical conclusion from the debate that we just had.

0:25:23.800 --> 0:25:28.479
<v S1>And I think what that shows is not only functional understanding,

0:25:28.480 --> 0:25:33.520
<v S1>which I already have, but this higher level, more stringent

0:25:33.520 --> 0:25:38.090
<v S1>level definition that I'm using of creative understanding. I am

0:25:38.090 --> 0:25:41.689
<v S1>arguing that an I will soon be able to win

0:25:41.690 --> 0:25:45.199
<v S1>a Nobel Prize. I am arguing that an AI is

0:25:45.200 --> 0:25:49.189
<v S1>already capable of making the type of jumps, the types

0:25:49.190 --> 0:25:54.470
<v S1>of jumps required to make one of these iterative discoveries

0:25:54.470 --> 0:25:57.919
<v S1>that would get somebody a Nobel Prize. In fact, if

0:25:57.920 --> 0:26:00.170
<v S1>I were to go and compile a list of all

0:26:00.200 --> 0:26:02.990
<v S1>the Nobel Prizes and then do a summary of how

0:26:02.990 --> 0:26:05.810
<v S1>much of a jump it was and then give a

0:26:05.810 --> 0:26:08.689
<v S1>bunch of scenarios to current AIS. I bet you they

0:26:08.720 --> 0:26:12.080
<v S1>are already capable of making as good or more of

0:26:12.080 --> 0:26:15.080
<v S1>a jump. Now, could they do all of the experimental

0:26:15.080 --> 0:26:17.689
<v S1>work and all of the research and all of the

0:26:17.690 --> 0:26:20.690
<v S1>stuff that backs that up? Maybe not, but that's all

0:26:20.690 --> 0:26:24.200
<v S1>coming soon. That's the easy part, right? Not the experimental part,

0:26:24.230 --> 0:26:27.709
<v S1>because that could involve physical world and robots. But the

0:26:27.710 --> 0:26:30.470
<v S1>point is, it's not the creative part. The creative part

0:26:30.470 --> 0:26:35.179
<v S1>is the idea and the explanation and the experiment and

0:26:35.180 --> 0:26:38.060
<v S1>the different way of seeing the world. I'm arguing. Eyes

0:26:38.090 --> 0:26:41.030
<v S1>are already getting close to that, if not have already passed.

0:26:41.030 --> 0:26:44.990
<v S1>So all this to say, yeah, eyes do understand. They

0:26:44.990 --> 0:26:48.770
<v S1>understand both at the functional level and at the creative

0:26:48.770 --> 0:26:52.280
<v S1>level of understanding two different levels of understanding. All right.

0:26:52.280 --> 0:26:56.300
<v S1>That was absolutely the longest jump out from a piece

0:26:56.300 --> 0:26:59.570
<v S1>but wanted to talk about that. Transformers create shapes of

0:26:59.570 --> 0:27:02.060
<v S1>the universe. This one is just I'm going to do

0:27:02.060 --> 0:27:04.369
<v S1>a separate one on this because we already went down

0:27:04.369 --> 0:27:07.940
<v S1>a tangent. Vulnerability management isn't about finding issues, it's about

0:27:07.940 --> 0:27:11.420
<v S1>fixing them in context. Did this for dads, which is

0:27:11.420 --> 0:27:15.320
<v S1>a cool vulnerability management company who sponsored the post, and

0:27:15.320 --> 0:27:18.020
<v S1>I've been wanting to write that article anyway for a while,

0:27:18.020 --> 0:27:20.450
<v S1>so that was a good opportunity to do it. Book

0:27:20.480 --> 0:27:24.110
<v S1>club this weekend was so, so good, and we've selected

0:27:24.109 --> 0:27:28.580
<v S1>The Republic by Plato for this week's or this month's book.

0:27:28.580 --> 0:27:31.490
<v S1>So really excited about that. Oh yeah, currently reading Fabric

0:27:31.490 --> 0:27:33.859
<v S1>of Reality and the Beginning of Infinity. These are the

0:27:33.859 --> 0:27:37.370
<v S1>ones that spawned that whole conversation. And. All right, let's

0:27:37.369 --> 0:27:40.820
<v S1>get into it. Security scissors. Warning. Brute force attacks against

0:27:40.820 --> 0:27:45.260
<v S1>default credentials against ICS and SCADA. Um, sharp increase in

0:27:45.260 --> 0:27:48.170
<v S1>OT attacks reported by Fortinet. And a lot of people

0:27:48.200 --> 0:27:51.470
<v S1>are saying that this is China basically getting ready for

0:27:51.500 --> 0:27:54.770
<v S1>a kinetic battle with the US by preparing a whole

0:27:54.770 --> 0:27:57.169
<v S1>bunch of cyber stuff. So the idea is when it

0:27:57.170 --> 0:28:01.400
<v S1>gets ready, gets ready to go into Taiwan, they'll launch

0:28:01.400 --> 0:28:05.570
<v S1>all these infrastructure attacks and basically mess with us, mess

0:28:05.570 --> 0:28:09.020
<v S1>with our society, potentially mess with the military as well,

0:28:09.050 --> 0:28:13.429
<v S1>basically cause a whole bunch of cyber related critical infrastructure

0:28:13.430 --> 0:28:18.410
<v S1>problems for the US power, water, you know, other critical services,

0:28:18.410 --> 0:28:23.450
<v S1>internet and basically mass disruption while they're going into Taiwan.

0:28:23.480 --> 0:28:26.030
<v S1>That's a theory a lot of people have. I'm not

0:28:26.030 --> 0:28:29.240
<v S1>sure how valid it is. Seems somewhat valid, at least.

0:28:29.270 --> 0:28:33.650
<v S1>China reportedly achieved a significant ah, milestone by developing a

0:28:33.650 --> 0:28:37.880
<v S1>generative AI model that operates across multiple data centers and

0:28:37.880 --> 0:28:42.020
<v S1>GPU architectures. Particularly impressive given how hard it is to

0:28:42.020 --> 0:28:45.650
<v S1>get stuff right because supposedly under sanctions. But they seem

0:28:45.650 --> 0:28:48.500
<v S1>to be making plenty of progress. One thing I wanted

0:28:48.530 --> 0:28:51.950
<v S1>to point out is that it's not PvP necessarily against China.

0:28:51.950 --> 0:28:54.680
<v S1>It's PvE because they only need to be able to

0:28:54.680 --> 0:28:58.760
<v S1>do these things here, right? Continuously crawl for all of

0:28:58.760 --> 0:29:03.110
<v S1>our attack surface and find vulnerabilities. Write exploits for those vulnerabilities,

0:29:03.140 --> 0:29:11.210
<v S1>actually exploit them, control their population, launch disinformation campaigns, propaganda campaigns, uh,

0:29:11.210 --> 0:29:14.240
<v S1>distribute tech that can do this to all of their

0:29:14.240 --> 0:29:19.040
<v S1>buddies that are also totalitarian, right? So if they could

0:29:19.040 --> 0:29:21.560
<v S1>do the if they get good enough to do these things,

0:29:21.560 --> 0:29:24.230
<v S1>it doesn't matter if we're 2 or 3 generations ahead.

0:29:24.230 --> 0:29:27.110
<v S1>That's why it's PvE instead of PvP. The only way

0:29:27.110 --> 0:29:29.960
<v S1>it's PvP is that if they are doing these things

0:29:29.990 --> 0:29:34.010
<v S1>against us, using a certain level of AI or ASI

0:29:34.010 --> 0:29:38.000
<v S1>or like AGI, ASI we want to have a next

0:29:38.000 --> 0:29:41.060
<v S1>generation one that's capable of seeing it and stopping it.

0:29:41.060 --> 0:29:43.520
<v S1>But that requires not just the brain, but all the

0:29:43.520 --> 0:29:46.970
<v S1>visibility as well to feed the brain. Okay, Worldcoin is

0:29:46.970 --> 0:29:50.810
<v S1>addressing the issue of bots and deepfakes with decentralized identity

0:29:50.840 --> 0:29:54.020
<v S1>system that confirms if someone is human. So we're starting

0:29:54.020 --> 0:29:57.350
<v S1>to see the practical uses for Worldcoin. By the way,

0:29:57.350 --> 0:30:01.520
<v S1>it's an Ethereum based blockchain. Validation of humans. Interesting stuff.

0:30:01.520 --> 0:30:05.990
<v S1>Chinese attacker called Salt Typhoon. Very cool. Should be a

0:30:05.990 --> 0:30:11.990
<v S1>band name targeting Cisco Systems to establish persistence. Again, going

0:30:11.990 --> 0:30:14.960
<v S1>back to the thing, just imagine that they have hundreds

0:30:14.960 --> 0:30:18.770
<v S1>of thousands of different systems that they're able to mess with,

0:30:18.770 --> 0:30:23.840
<v S1>like rerouting things. BGP attacks, like just imagine the internet

0:30:23.870 --> 0:30:27.740
<v S1>not working power going down for so many people. All right.

0:30:27.740 --> 0:30:32.180
<v S1>Before the Taiwan attack, U.S. has charged three Iranian nationals

0:30:32.180 --> 0:30:36.260
<v S1>linked to the IRGC for hacking into accounts of U.S.

0:30:36.260 --> 0:30:40.070
<v S1>officials and political campaigns. T-Mobile got hit with a $16

0:30:40.070 --> 0:30:44.480
<v S1>million fine from the FCC, and they were basically forced

0:30:44.480 --> 0:30:47.750
<v S1>to spend another 16 million on security as part of

0:30:47.750 --> 0:30:51.560
<v S1>the settlement. And massive love to my buddy Matt Johannson,

0:30:51.560 --> 0:30:55.820
<v S1>this story right here goes out to his site, which

0:30:55.820 --> 0:30:59.000
<v S1>is vulnerable. You. So now a lot more of my stories.

0:30:59.000 --> 0:31:02.330
<v S1>He's going to start making actual cybersecurity stories. So instead

0:31:02.330 --> 0:31:05.810
<v S1>of going to like Bleeping Computer and uh, what are

0:31:05.810 --> 0:31:09.470
<v S1>some of the other ones, a bunch of security news ones, right. Um,

0:31:09.470 --> 0:31:13.280
<v S1>but I'm like helping him with like some of the summarization,

0:31:13.280 --> 0:31:16.010
<v S1>different pieces, like what a good summary looks like, big

0:31:16.010 --> 0:31:20.120
<v S1>picture impact, why it matters. So I'm giving a bunch

0:31:20.120 --> 0:31:22.640
<v S1>of feedback on that kind of stuff. And, uh, yeah,

0:31:22.670 --> 0:31:24.950
<v S1>I really love the idea of being able to point

0:31:24.950 --> 0:31:29.150
<v S1>to my buddy's site. Who can do ultimately, to do this? Well,

0:31:29.150 --> 0:31:31.380
<v S1>you have to find the stories and you have to

0:31:31.410 --> 0:31:34.080
<v S1>summarize them well. And the reason he's going to be

0:31:34.080 --> 0:31:36.780
<v S1>so good at this is because he is an actual

0:31:36.780 --> 0:31:41.610
<v S1>cybersecurity expert. He runs like Appsec, Reddit, and he has

0:31:41.610 --> 0:31:44.130
<v S1>been in this field, I think like almost as long

0:31:44.130 --> 0:31:47.520
<v S1>as me. Uh, or if not the same level. I

0:31:47.520 --> 0:31:49.050
<v S1>don't think so. I don't think he's as old as me,

0:31:49.050 --> 0:31:52.200
<v S1>but he's been doing this for so long. One of

0:31:52.200 --> 0:31:55.170
<v S1>the longest people in the industry, and he's an absolute

0:31:55.200 --> 0:31:58.050
<v S1>guru at it. And he's good at writing at the

0:31:58.050 --> 0:32:01.560
<v S1>same time, and he's learning AI. So it's like, this

0:32:01.560 --> 0:32:04.950
<v S1>is the perfect combination, and I can't wait to start

0:32:04.950 --> 0:32:07.830
<v S1>pointing more and more of my stories to his site

0:32:07.830 --> 0:32:10.830
<v S1>and spreading the love there as a buddy as well. U.S.

0:32:10.830 --> 0:32:15.570
<v S1>Commerce Department proposing a ban on Chinese, Russian, automotive, auto,

0:32:15.600 --> 0:32:19.530
<v S1>moto automotive hardware and software. Basically saying it's a way

0:32:19.530 --> 0:32:24.690
<v S1>for adversaries to get footholds into U.S. systems and infrastructure, which, yeah,

0:32:24.690 --> 0:32:28.140
<v S1>that's what we've been talking about. Ukraine reportedly found Starlink

0:32:28.170 --> 0:32:34.130
<v S1>terminals in a downed Russian Shahed drone. LM based hacking assistance.

0:32:34.160 --> 0:32:36.500
<v S1>I think we all get that lots of different tools

0:32:36.500 --> 0:32:40.220
<v S1>here that actually help you attack and defend with Llms.

0:32:40.250 --> 0:32:43.730
<v S1>Telegram is now starting to hand over phone numbers and

0:32:43.760 --> 0:32:48.230
<v S1>IP addresses of suspects. This is all part of their

0:32:48.230 --> 0:32:51.650
<v S1>CEO getting arrested. Security researchers found a way to remotely

0:32:51.650 --> 0:32:55.430
<v S1>control millions of Kia vehicles by only having the license

0:32:55.430 --> 0:32:58.580
<v S1>plate number, which allows you to look up and basically

0:32:58.580 --> 0:33:02.150
<v S1>gain controls. Pretty nasty. One so the biggest hype switching

0:33:02.180 --> 0:33:04.400
<v S1>to AI in tech, biggest hype in the last week

0:33:04.400 --> 0:33:07.490
<v S1>has been around notebook LM, which is, by the way,

0:33:07.490 --> 0:33:10.250
<v S1>what I use to create that, um, that podcast I

0:33:10.250 --> 0:33:14.060
<v S1>played for you earlier. So it's a big Google project.

0:33:14.060 --> 0:33:16.100
<v S1>I don't know why they're not talking about it more.

0:33:16.310 --> 0:33:18.380
<v S1>Never mind. Yes, I do, because they're really bad at

0:33:18.380 --> 0:33:22.850
<v S1>product and marketing and everything like that. So basically it's

0:33:22.850 --> 0:33:25.820
<v S1>this tiny little project which they're not announcing, they're not

0:33:25.820 --> 0:33:29.250
<v S1>putting out anywhere. Like you learn about it on Twitter? Whatever.

0:33:29.280 --> 0:33:32.310
<v S1>It'll probably be dead in a week anyway. Uh, to

0:33:32.340 --> 0:33:36.420
<v S1>the graveyard, along with everything else. But anyway, fun while

0:33:36.420 --> 0:33:40.140
<v S1>it lasted. It's super fun. And oh yeah, here's an example.

0:33:40.140 --> 0:33:42.750
<v S1>So I uploaded an Alma file, which is part of

0:33:42.750 --> 0:33:44.760
<v S1>a Telos project, which I'm going to be talking about,

0:33:44.790 --> 0:33:48.540
<v S1>hopefully making content on tomorrow. Anyway, it's this giant context

0:33:48.540 --> 0:33:52.320
<v S1>file I uploaded it. It is actually the context file

0:33:52.320 --> 0:33:56.610
<v S1>in the Telos format for a security program. So managing

0:33:56.610 --> 0:33:59.430
<v S1>a cyber security program for a company, it's for this

0:33:59.430 --> 0:34:02.250
<v S1>fake company called alma. I've uploaded it. It's in the

0:34:02.250 --> 0:34:05.490
<v S1>fabric repo right now, but it's soon going to be

0:34:05.490 --> 0:34:08.670
<v S1>in the Telos repo as well, which is designed to

0:34:08.670 --> 0:34:12.000
<v S1>do specifically this. But check this out. You put it

0:34:12.000 --> 0:34:15.750
<v S1>in there. Look at this generate deep dive conversation. You

0:34:15.750 --> 0:34:19.200
<v S1>can actually create a podcast based on that security program.

0:34:19.200 --> 0:34:22.020
<v S1>And they'll just talk about the security program back and forth.

0:34:22.050 --> 0:34:25.470
<v S1>That's crazy by itself. But most importantly, look, you can

0:34:25.469 --> 0:34:28.340
<v S1>ask these questions about the security program. And you got

0:34:28.340 --> 0:34:31.610
<v S1>this typing field down here where you can interact and

0:34:31.610 --> 0:34:35.330
<v S1>ask questions about the program. So super cool. Newsom. Yeah,

0:34:35.360 --> 0:34:40.310
<v S1>recommend checking out notebook LM Google because they definitely needed

0:34:40.310 --> 0:34:45.050
<v S1>a Google domain. Whatever. Newsom vetoed the California AI bill,

0:34:45.080 --> 0:34:48.230
<v S1>saying it was too restrictive. I agree with him on this.

0:34:48.260 --> 0:34:51.620
<v S1>A good, good move, though. I want to see another

0:34:51.620 --> 0:34:54.860
<v S1>follow up bill. California made it illegal to use AI

0:34:54.890 --> 0:34:59.000
<v S1>to impersonate actors without their consent. Somebody found out their

0:34:59.000 --> 0:35:02.839
<v S1>voice was being AI cloned by a company and they're

0:35:02.840 --> 0:35:08.180
<v S1>mad about it. Convergence AI, co-founded by Marvin Porter and

0:35:08.180 --> 0:35:13.130
<v S1>Andy Tallis, has raised 12 million to develop proxy agents

0:35:13.130 --> 0:35:16.700
<v S1>with long term memory. New task of agent, new class

0:35:16.700 --> 0:35:19.970
<v S1>of agents. Yeah, uh, this is going to be huge.

0:35:19.969 --> 0:35:24.470
<v S1>Huge meta launched three two. They can now handle images

0:35:24.469 --> 0:35:28.440
<v S1>and text competing with OpenAI and anthropic on that ChatGPT

0:35:28.469 --> 0:35:32.070
<v S1>advanced mode. Definitely, definitely. I use it all the time

0:35:32.070 --> 0:35:34.950
<v S1>as all these examples we just went through. Hugging face

0:35:34.950 --> 0:35:41.220
<v S1>now has 1 million AI model listings. 1 million models, all.

0:35:41.250 --> 0:35:43.890
<v S1>Are they all open source? Pretty sure they're all open source.

0:35:43.920 --> 0:35:45.900
<v S1>Are they all open source? I think so. I think

0:35:45.900 --> 0:35:48.690
<v S1>they're all open source. They're definitely all there for you

0:35:48.690 --> 0:35:52.710
<v S1>to use. I think that implies that they're open source. Um, yeah.

0:35:52.739 --> 0:35:56.700
<v S1>Anthropic is in early talks with investors. Could value the

0:35:56.700 --> 0:35:59.580
<v S1>company at 30 to 40 billion. Oh, by the way,

0:35:59.610 --> 0:36:03.480
<v S1>OpenAI just closed its funding, so I think it's worth

0:36:03.480 --> 0:36:06.600
<v S1>some crazy amount now. They just raised like more than

0:36:06.630 --> 0:36:09.600
<v S1>Elon did for a lot of his projects. Yeah. Crazy

0:36:09.630 --> 0:36:12.779
<v S1>crazy amount of money. They just raised enclosed. Google's rolled

0:36:12.780 --> 0:36:17.760
<v S1>out two new production Gemini models, constant stream model updates

0:36:17.760 --> 0:36:21.420
<v S1>for the main players, much smarter models or models that

0:36:21.420 --> 0:36:24.480
<v S1>can do new stuff like vision or whatever, multimodal, and

0:36:24.480 --> 0:36:28.830
<v S1>then models that are like two 500 times cheaper. One

0:36:28.830 --> 0:36:31.169
<v S1>of the cool things that was just mentioned is like

0:36:31.200 --> 0:36:35.190
<v S1>in general, models are 99% cheaper than a year ago

0:36:35.190 --> 0:36:40.439
<v S1>for the same functionality 99%. Ilyas I reading list Agile's

0:36:40.440 --> 0:36:44.700
<v S1>original principles have been lost in translation. AI is disrupting

0:36:44.700 --> 0:36:48.840
<v S1>the traditional ad supported internet model. Yea yea yea yea yea.

0:36:48.870 --> 0:36:52.770
<v S1>This one's crucial. I did a piece a little while

0:36:52.770 --> 0:36:56.640
<v S1>back called what was that called? I don't remember. It

0:36:56.640 --> 0:37:00.450
<v S1>doesn't matter. Um, real internet things. I've got this part

0:37:00.480 --> 0:37:04.950
<v S1>called AI mediation. Oh yeah. Here's the AI mediation piece. Yeah.

0:37:04.980 --> 0:37:08.550
<v S1>Das will mediate everything. We'll say what we want. Our

0:37:08.580 --> 0:37:12.780
<v S1>Das will manipulate external demons and APIs to make it happen.

0:37:12.780 --> 0:37:17.040
<v S1>So this is from, uh, I think the very beginning

0:37:17.070 --> 0:37:20.370
<v S1>of the year I put this out, but it's actually

0:37:20.670 --> 0:37:24.510
<v S1>from my book from 2016. And this is just an updated,

0:37:24.520 --> 0:37:28.480
<v S1>illustrated version. I've been talking about this. You should check

0:37:28.510 --> 0:37:30.730
<v S1>out this book, by the way. It's called The Real

0:37:30.730 --> 0:37:33.640
<v S1>Internet of Things. It's actually a little bit crappy of

0:37:33.640 --> 0:37:37.180
<v S1>a book. It's more like a blog post or like

0:37:37.180 --> 0:37:40.690
<v S1>an essay, but it's pretty well structured. But most importantly,

0:37:40.690 --> 0:37:43.600
<v S1>all these things that I've been saying on the podcast

0:37:43.600 --> 0:37:45.700
<v S1>that you've been listening to for like 2 or 3

0:37:45.700 --> 0:37:48.100
<v S1>years or five years or however long it was all

0:37:48.100 --> 0:37:51.520
<v S1>in that book in 2016, all these predictions about AI,

0:37:51.550 --> 0:37:54.040
<v S1>what's about to happen to AR? It's all in there.

0:37:54.040 --> 0:37:56.890
<v S1>And that's why I've been consistent about what I've been

0:37:56.890 --> 0:38:00.310
<v S1>saying and predicting all along. So I highly recommend you

0:38:00.310 --> 0:38:02.830
<v S1>check out the source material, which is that first book.

0:38:03.010 --> 0:38:05.500
<v S1>And yes, I was even talking about AI back in

0:38:05.500 --> 0:38:08.620
<v S1>2016 and that that I was the source of all

0:38:08.620 --> 0:38:10.900
<v S1>these different predictions. Obviously, I didn't know it was going

0:38:10.930 --> 0:38:13.600
<v S1>to happen in 2022. I thought it might take longer,

0:38:13.600 --> 0:38:18.280
<v S1>but yeah. Anyway, go check that out. Um, SpaceX Starlink

0:38:18.310 --> 0:38:22.089
<v S1>is about to hit 4 million subscribers. Um, yeah, I

0:38:22.090 --> 0:38:25.950
<v S1>base a lot of my investment in prediction on leaders

0:38:25.950 --> 0:38:31.050
<v S1>and ideas. Elon jobs Jenson Zuckerberg doesn't mean they're going

0:38:31.080 --> 0:38:33.630
<v S1>to win, but I think it's bad idea to bet

0:38:33.630 --> 0:38:38.310
<v S1>against them because they are so locked in on vision

0:38:38.310 --> 0:38:42.120
<v S1>and also able to execute. Smart TVs from Samsung and

0:38:42.120 --> 0:38:45.360
<v S1>LG are taking snapshots of what you're watching multiple times

0:38:45.360 --> 0:38:49.020
<v S1>per second. Plus energy started a $1 billion solar and

0:38:49.020 --> 0:38:54.420
<v S1>battery storage project. The white collar apocalypse is nigh. The

0:38:54.420 --> 0:38:57.900
<v S1>decline of status, economy and the impact of AI on

0:38:57.900 --> 0:39:01.290
<v S1>job markets. Yeah, pretty cool one. Definitely go check this

0:39:01.290 --> 0:39:05.070
<v S1>one out. Meta. Orion's AR glasses are a big upgrade.

0:39:05.070 --> 0:39:09.600
<v S1>I don't think Mark is right about replacing phones by 2030.

0:39:09.630 --> 0:39:13.470
<v S1>I think that's too ambitious. I think phones offer too

0:39:13.469 --> 0:39:16.560
<v S1>many things that glasses don't, and I just don't think

0:39:16.560 --> 0:39:20.910
<v S1>the physical miniaturization tech is there to go into the

0:39:20.910 --> 0:39:24.060
<v S1>glasses to replicate what's on the phone Hacker News thread,

0:39:24.090 --> 0:39:26.820
<v S1>where people are sharing their experiences about whether having a

0:39:26.820 --> 0:39:30.509
<v S1>personal website helped get them hired. Some people said yes,

0:39:30.540 --> 0:39:32.460
<v S1>a lot of people said yes. Some people said no.

0:39:32.460 --> 0:39:36.300
<v S1>All right, humans. California is taking phones out of schools,

0:39:36.300 --> 0:39:40.440
<v S1>basically limiting cell phone use. So massive props to Jonathan

0:39:40.440 --> 0:39:43.950
<v S1>Hite on this. Uh, someone found a method that uses

0:39:43.950 --> 0:39:48.629
<v S1>stem cells to regenerate insulin producing cells. ExxonMobil is facing

0:39:48.630 --> 0:39:53.100
<v S1>a lawsuit for coming up with a supposed fraud saying

0:39:53.130 --> 0:39:57.720
<v S1>or a myth saying that recycling could help solve the

0:39:57.719 --> 0:40:00.899
<v S1>problem with plastic waste. California is looking to make it

0:40:00.930 --> 0:40:04.830
<v S1>one click. Get off of subscriptions just the same way.

0:40:04.830 --> 0:40:07.920
<v S1>One click sign ups. So if you offer a one

0:40:07.950 --> 0:40:09.930
<v S1>click sign up, you have to offer a one way

0:40:09.930 --> 0:40:12.630
<v S1>to get out of it as well. Over 10,000 books

0:40:12.630 --> 0:40:17.100
<v S1>were banned in US public schools from 2023 to 2024.

0:40:17.130 --> 0:40:20.880
<v S1>Insane Steve Jobs had a thing called a ten minute rule,

0:40:20.880 --> 0:40:23.400
<v S1>just ten minutes to tackle a problem or a task.

0:40:23.430 --> 0:40:25.680
<v S1>Check this out. That's why I love doing video. I've

0:40:25.680 --> 0:40:28.589
<v S1>got one of these. I actually use it. It's called pomodoro,

0:40:28.590 --> 0:40:32.160
<v S1>but you can set it for any time. Right. So

0:40:32.190 --> 0:40:35.640
<v S1>30 minutes is like the classic one. It's inverted. But

0:40:35.640 --> 0:40:37.710
<v S1>but you can put it down to like. There you go.

0:40:37.739 --> 0:40:43.379
<v S1>Ten minutes. So I think it's cool. Constraints. Constraints inspire creativity.

0:40:43.530 --> 0:40:48.509
<v S1>And Maria Popova explores profound curiosity and love of Henry

0:40:48.540 --> 0:40:54.299
<v S1>David Thoreau as he encounters a screech owl in the wild. Ideas.

0:40:54.300 --> 0:40:57.930
<v S1>Everything is going behind the paywall. Yeah, I'm not going

0:40:57.960 --> 0:41:01.410
<v S1>to read this. I'm just going to give you the overview. Freeform.

0:41:01.440 --> 0:41:05.400
<v S1>I think it's really interesting to think about how there's

0:41:05.430 --> 0:41:08.790
<v S1>the open internet is going away. Everything's going to be

0:41:08.790 --> 0:41:12.210
<v S1>behind auth not only to block bots but also to

0:41:12.239 --> 0:41:16.439
<v S1>get micropayments. So rich people who have money for their

0:41:16.469 --> 0:41:18.780
<v S1>their eyes. Okay I'm going to give you a little

0:41:18.810 --> 0:41:20.549
<v S1>bit of a I also have to make this piece

0:41:20.550 --> 0:41:24.089
<v S1>of content, but a tiny little view of the future. Okay,

0:41:24.120 --> 0:41:26.640
<v S1>you're going to have all your personal context in your

0:41:26.640 --> 0:41:29.760
<v S1>personal AI. It's with you all the time. Your personal

0:41:29.760 --> 0:41:32.610
<v S1>AI is the one going out and reading everything for you.

0:41:32.610 --> 0:41:36.029
<v S1>It's consuming everything. It's consuming all the APIs, all the

0:41:36.030 --> 0:41:40.830
<v S1>RSS feeds, all the videos. It's making transcripts. It's translating them,

0:41:40.830 --> 0:41:43.680
<v S1>it's summarizing them. It's doing everything for you. And as

0:41:43.680 --> 0:41:46.319
<v S1>you're moving through your day, when you have a little

0:41:46.350 --> 0:41:49.560
<v S1>bit of extra time, it'll create a custom piece of

0:41:49.560 --> 0:41:52.740
<v S1>content for you. Actually, I'm merging both of these. Cool.

0:41:52.739 --> 0:41:55.650
<v S1>It'll create a custom piece of content for you. Okay,

0:41:55.680 --> 0:41:59.310
<v S1>so there's this paper that I just summarized. Where is

0:41:59.310 --> 0:42:01.770
<v S1>that thing? Oh, it's right here. So my buddy just

0:42:01.770 --> 0:42:05.310
<v S1>sent me this thing. It's this giant PDF. Um, my

0:42:05.340 --> 0:42:07.230
<v S1>AI is going to go read this thing. It's going

0:42:07.260 --> 0:42:09.270
<v S1>to give me a summary based on how much time

0:42:09.270 --> 0:42:11.489
<v S1>I have before my next meeting. It's like, hey, you

0:42:11.489 --> 0:42:13.290
<v S1>want to hear about this thing? Or do you want

0:42:13.320 --> 0:42:15.450
<v S1>to see a video? I'm like, yeah, give me a video.

0:42:15.450 --> 0:42:19.830
<v S1>So it's Richard Feynman explaining this paper to me in 30s,

0:42:19.830 --> 0:42:23.340
<v S1>which means the content. Watch this. The content duration, the

0:42:23.340 --> 0:42:27.870
<v S1>content format, the content style, all of. Oh and the performer.

0:42:27.900 --> 0:42:31.080
<v S1>The person actually giving the content. So it could be

0:42:31.080 --> 0:42:34.169
<v S1>a graphic novel. It could be a video, it could

0:42:34.170 --> 0:42:37.590
<v S1>be an essay, it could be a video, it could

0:42:37.590 --> 0:42:40.470
<v S1>be text, it could be whatever, but it could shrink

0:42:40.469 --> 0:42:45.810
<v S1>from 30s down to 10s do a giant set of books,

0:42:45.810 --> 0:42:50.310
<v S1>and the AI will dynamically recreate that for you, which

0:42:50.310 --> 0:42:54.569
<v S1>means this is actually the future of education. And this

0:42:54.570 --> 0:42:57.750
<v S1>is going to be a whole separate conversation. In fact,

0:42:57.750 --> 0:42:59.790
<v S1>we're going to break this out as a separate clip

0:42:59.790 --> 0:43:02.100
<v S1>to talk about this. This is going to be the

0:43:02.100 --> 0:43:05.100
<v S1>future of education, because think about this. The AI can

0:43:05.100 --> 0:43:10.379
<v S1>also adjust based on somebody's limitations. Okay. They haven't learned

0:43:10.380 --> 0:43:12.810
<v S1>this topic yet. They're not so great at English yet.

0:43:12.810 --> 0:43:15.690
<v S1>They have a learning disability okay. The AI is going

0:43:15.719 --> 0:43:18.180
<v S1>to be an expert in learning disabilities, which means it

0:43:18.180 --> 0:43:21.060
<v S1>can repeat things, or it could avoid certain ways of

0:43:21.060 --> 0:43:23.969
<v S1>explaining things, or it could double down on other ways

0:43:23.969 --> 0:43:27.930
<v S1>of explaining things. Dynamic adjustment to the best way to

0:43:27.960 --> 0:43:31.290
<v S1>teach you at that given time. Maybe if you're a kid,

0:43:31.290 --> 0:43:33.840
<v S1>you want to hear this lesson as a story. You

0:43:33.840 --> 0:43:36.000
<v S1>want to watch it as a video. The whole thing

0:43:36.030 --> 0:43:40.050
<v S1>could be framed as Taylor Swift or Pokémon or Star Wars. Okay,

0:43:40.080 --> 0:43:43.350
<v S1>so your eye is going to be able to shape

0:43:43.380 --> 0:43:48.270
<v S1>teaching you anything using any format, in any duration, in

0:43:48.270 --> 0:43:52.440
<v S1>any style of teaching. Okay. It could be a podcast

0:43:52.440 --> 0:43:55.020
<v S1>between your two favorite people, and they're talking about the

0:43:55.020 --> 0:43:58.319
<v S1>ideas debating back and forth. It could be a graphic novel,

0:43:58.320 --> 0:44:00.719
<v S1>it could be a TV show, it could be a cartoon,

0:44:00.719 --> 0:44:02.850
<v S1>it could be an anime. It could be a YouTube

0:44:02.850 --> 0:44:07.140
<v S1>video of your favorite creator just doing a YouTube video

0:44:07.140 --> 0:44:09.270
<v S1>for you about that thing, and you're like, nope, I

0:44:09.270 --> 0:44:12.270
<v S1>want it in 30s nope. I want it in one

0:44:12.270 --> 0:44:15.750
<v S1>hour episodes, five of them per week. So it's like

0:44:15.750 --> 0:44:17.819
<v S1>I sit down for an hour and I learn this thing.

0:44:17.820 --> 0:44:22.799
<v S1>This is going to massively disrupt education. Okay, we already

0:44:22.800 --> 0:44:25.739
<v S1>knew I was going to disrupt education. We already know

0:44:25.770 --> 0:44:28.890
<v S1>technology is going to disrupt education. Like this is all known.

0:44:28.890 --> 0:44:32.370
<v S1>But this particular formula of being able to adjust all

0:44:32.370 --> 0:44:37.620
<v S1>those variables and create dynamic content, that is the game

0:44:37.620 --> 0:44:42.990
<v S1>that that is the education game, like 100%. Okay. Now

0:44:42.989 --> 0:44:45.420
<v S1>now think about this. All you need to do is

0:44:45.420 --> 0:44:48.180
<v S1>come up with the absolute best content, okay? Once you

0:44:48.180 --> 0:44:50.850
<v S1>have the best content, which which I hate to tell you,

0:44:50.850 --> 0:44:53.190
<v S1>it's kind of already out there. Okay. What what are

0:44:53.190 --> 0:44:58.440
<v S1>the best concepts in journalism or biology or whatever? It's

0:44:58.440 --> 0:45:01.739
<v S1>in there. It's in the textbooks already. Right? The smartest

0:45:01.739 --> 0:45:03.870
<v S1>people have already been talking about it. It's in all

0:45:03.900 --> 0:45:07.620
<v S1>of their books. Well, go read their books. We've already

0:45:07.620 --> 0:45:10.229
<v S1>seen their lectures. Half of those lectures are already on

0:45:10.230 --> 0:45:15.839
<v S1>open MOOCs on, uh, you know, Harvard or MIT or whatever. Like,

0:45:15.840 --> 0:45:18.770
<v S1>these people aren't being quiet. It's not a secret what

0:45:18.770 --> 0:45:21.049
<v S1>they know about the world. So all the stuff's out there,

0:45:21.050 --> 0:45:24.050
<v S1>so the content's solved. The only question is, how are

0:45:24.050 --> 0:45:27.560
<v S1>we getting that content to the people? Now, you take

0:45:27.560 --> 0:45:31.370
<v S1>something like an extremely expensive university like Harvard or Stanford

0:45:31.370 --> 0:45:35.270
<v S1>or something like 11 people go per year and it's

0:45:35.270 --> 0:45:38.509
<v S1>horribly expensive. How many people are on the planet? Oh,

0:45:38.540 --> 0:45:42.590
<v S1>8 billion, 8 billion people need that education and don't

0:45:42.590 --> 0:45:46.820
<v S1>have the time. And they have language, you know, disabilities

0:45:46.820 --> 0:45:51.020
<v S1>or language like, um, mismatches with the way the original

0:45:51.020 --> 0:45:55.400
<v S1>content was taught. Doesn't matter. Instant translation to their language

0:45:55.400 --> 0:45:58.040
<v S1>while on ramping them onto English if they want to

0:45:58.040 --> 0:46:02.120
<v S1>learn English. 8 billion people getting exactly the education they

0:46:02.120 --> 0:46:05.719
<v S1>need in the topics that they need in any format

0:46:05.719 --> 0:46:09.259
<v S1>that is best for them, represented by deepfakes of exactly

0:46:09.260 --> 0:46:12.950
<v S1>the best people or in the format of whatever a show,

0:46:12.980 --> 0:46:14.750
<v S1>whatever is the best way to get it to them.

0:46:14.750 --> 0:46:18.189
<v S1>Like how is that not the way people are going

0:46:18.190 --> 0:46:20.410
<v S1>to learn in the future? That's what I'm asking you.

0:46:20.440 --> 0:46:24.040
<v S1>How is that not the future? Now, again, how fast

0:46:24.070 --> 0:46:25.960
<v S1>are we going to get there? Are there lots of

0:46:25.960 --> 0:46:30.430
<v S1>different ways that will be opposed? Of course, of course. Right.

0:46:30.460 --> 0:46:34.030
<v S1>So when is it going to start? Today. Yesterday. Tomorrow.

0:46:34.060 --> 0:46:36.730
<v S1>That's when it's going to start. It's already starting. When

0:46:36.730 --> 0:46:39.430
<v S1>will it be finished? Never. There will always be a

0:46:39.430 --> 0:46:41.620
<v S1>forces that push it back and say no, you've got

0:46:41.620 --> 0:46:44.259
<v S1>to dress up. You've got to go to this special school.

0:46:44.290 --> 0:46:47.169
<v S1>Because remember, a lot of education is actually not about

0:46:47.170 --> 0:46:49.870
<v S1>the content and about the the learning. A lot of

0:46:49.870 --> 0:46:52.750
<v S1>the education is actually about the stamp that you get afterwards,

0:46:52.750 --> 0:46:55.330
<v S1>which we can solve a different way, which we'll be

0:46:55.330 --> 0:46:58.270
<v S1>talking about at some point to and kind of already

0:46:58.270 --> 0:47:00.489
<v S1>have talked about. All right. Let's keep going. I think

0:47:00.489 --> 0:47:03.730
<v S1>we covered both of those topics pretty well. Oh, yeah.

0:47:04.120 --> 0:47:09.160
<v S1>Future of education. Exactly. Okay. Discovery acts framework extension of

0:47:09.160 --> 0:47:13.750
<v S1>Axios for bug hunters and penetration testers. So it's basically

0:47:13.750 --> 0:47:17.350
<v S1>a way to do large distributed scans as part of

0:47:17.380 --> 0:47:20.739
<v S1>like Bug Bounty, the Russian APT tool matrix. New tool

0:47:20.739 --> 0:47:26.680
<v S1>matrix focused on Russian APT groups GRU, SVR, FSB affiliated

0:47:26.680 --> 0:47:31.719
<v S1>threat actors. Reuse of tools like Mimikatz, impact, exact, Metasploit

0:47:31.719 --> 0:47:36.340
<v S1>Re George Re George being particularly notable for limited use

0:47:36.340 --> 0:47:40.960
<v S1>by by ransomware gangs okay Merkle map subdomain search engine

0:47:40.960 --> 0:47:45.070
<v S1>helps you discover subdomains. Gun gear is a command line tool.

0:47:45.070 --> 0:47:48.070
<v S1>What's with this font? Do Not like is a command

0:47:48.070 --> 0:47:51.430
<v S1>line tool written by my buddy gunner and go. Microservices

0:47:51.430 --> 0:47:55.180
<v S1>are technical debt. Really really cool. Take there. Be somebody

0:47:55.180 --> 0:47:59.770
<v S1>who does things. That was a fantastic essay. It's lists

0:47:59.800 --> 0:48:03.310
<v S1>all the way down. Another fantastic one. US government is

0:48:03.310 --> 0:48:07.569
<v S1>now publishing tide sensor data to show sea level rise.

0:48:07.600 --> 0:48:11.740
<v S1>Love the transparency here. Comedy is search, critical mass and

0:48:11.739 --> 0:48:16.870
<v S1>tipping points. Semantic chunking for rag flipper zero. Firmware. Open

0:48:16.900 --> 0:48:20.170
<v S1>source firmware unlocks a lot more of your flipper device.

0:48:20.200 --> 0:48:24.250
<v S1>MTA Open Data Challenge Paul Graham addresses the question of

0:48:24.250 --> 0:48:28.540
<v S1>whether to follow your passion or not. Compressed jpg, compressed

0:48:28.540 --> 0:48:33.880
<v S1>jpeg move fast and abandon things. BBC Sound Effects Library

0:48:33.910 --> 0:48:36.940
<v S1>what I learned in the past years spent building an

0:48:36.940 --> 0:48:40.900
<v S1>AI video editor. Danger zone is teamed up with Google's.

0:48:40.930 --> 0:48:44.950
<v S1>Gvisor to enhance its security, allowing journalists to open suspicious

0:48:44.950 --> 0:48:48.640
<v S1>documents safely. RM Creative Console might be getting one of

0:48:48.640 --> 0:48:54.160
<v S1>these actually need to go order that advanced structure output tutorial.

0:48:54.160 --> 0:48:58.540
<v S1>Logitech's MX Creative Console is a game changer for photo

0:48:58.540 --> 0:49:02.620
<v S1>and video editors. Dieter Rams inspired iPhone dock. This thing

0:49:02.650 --> 0:49:04.359
<v S1>looks really cool. I don't think I would get one,

0:49:04.360 --> 0:49:07.990
<v S1>but isn't that cool? Yeah, that looks cool. And automatic

0:49:07.989 --> 0:49:10.660
<v S1>litter boxes because I want a cat, but I'm allergic

0:49:10.660 --> 0:49:13.780
<v S1>to cats, so probably not getting one recommendation of the week.

0:49:13.810 --> 0:49:16.629
<v S1>Take a document or something you know really well and

0:49:16.630 --> 0:49:19.960
<v S1>upload it to notebook LM and tinker around with it.

0:49:19.989 --> 0:49:22.840
<v S1>It is super cool and do it quickly because they

0:49:22.840 --> 0:49:27.130
<v S1>might put the project in the Google graveyard. Um. Aphorism

0:49:27.130 --> 0:49:30.160
<v S1>of the week. I want so much that is not

0:49:30.160 --> 0:49:33.009
<v S1>here and do not know where to go. I want

0:49:33.010 --> 0:49:35.710
<v S1>so much that is not here and do not know

0:49:35.710 --> 0:49:41.230
<v S1>where to go. Charles Bukowski. Unsupervised learning is produced and
