artificial intelligence also known as bill burr oh jesus artificial
intelligence and it's
as long as there's intelligence in there i'll take it and its impact on
humanity
dill dear bill boo baggins what are your thoughts on tesla founder elon musk's
warnings
on artificial intelligence i just love the fact that you think that i actually
read it
he said that through recursive self-improvement simple tasks like preventing
spam could lead to
an ai determining humans are the problem is this like a sci-fi script i know
okay yeah i get it
i'm totally interested but i don't know what's going on here recursive self-improvement
means
it could reason with itself oh this is uh like when you you make a computer
that that like has
emotions like a human being well no it's like like he's talking about we're
trying to get rid of
spam and email and stuff but whatever program is like wait there's a human
being behind the spam
there's a there's a human being behind the um nigerian prince scheme or the oh
my god friend i'm
trapped in denmark and i've had my passport and all my money like taken from me
and i don't think that
is i think he's talking ai simple tasks like preventing spam could lead to ai
artificial
intelligence is a computer yeah it's a robot determining humans are the problem
yeah okay
so how is there a guy in nigeria recursive self-improvement saying like it's
realizing
that human beings are behind the spam in your email like there's someone oh i
see what you're saying
i see what you're saying okay sorry about that um oh boy that's gonna be a long
one
recursive self-improvement means it could reason with itself and incrementally
improve to overcome
obstacles that prevent it from fulfilling its objectives i listened to previous
podcasts and
you've mentioned you think there would be a backdoor built into any ai machine
robots by the powers that be
however using the recursive self-improvement that elon mentioned an ai could
eventually reason with
itself that a backdoor preventing it from fulfilling its mandate must be
ignored or overcome
elon musk is very intelligent having found founded paypal spacex and tesla as
well as playing a key role
in solar city so i don't think his concerns should be taken lightly here's a
book that delves into the
subject in more detail because i know you're a deep thinker see what i'm saying
they're all giving me
shit oh that's funny our final invention artificial intelligence and the end of
the human era thanks
for your uh for your fucking opinion um is this some like sort of like 1984
type shit like you know
1984 was humans on humans oh okay we'll see there's just that's already going
on that's already going on
where someone who was our ally yesterday is now the enemy and then the enemy is
now the ally and
vice versa and all that type of shit so this is basically like the machines are
getting so smart
that they're gonna eventually like take over yeah here's the thing about
machines nia they don't have
legs the robots might maybe that's his whole point like the robots the robots i'm
afraid of but just
like a computer right it's like you don't have legs and you have an umbilical
cord plugged into that
fucking wall over there and i will snip that fucker and i will dump water on
you and that's the end of
you dump water on you yeah go dump water on your computer see what happens but
aren't they talking
about making robots that'll be able to like surpass all that shit and that's
the scary part about it it's
like you don't want to give them too much intelligence because like he was
saying they'll learn that like
hey wait i've got this whole back door thing and fuck that back door yeah well
because they're gonna
evolve beyond that here's the thing what people don't understand her did you
ever see that movie her
with joaquin phoenix there was too much red
it's just too much red he was the only one really that were red but anyway go
on
anyways this is what i feel people are acting like this just some nerdy
scientist
i'm going to make this artificial intelligence bullshit it isn't it's rich
people and rich people
at the top want to phase out us they're sick of us like we are an inconvenience
to them with our
complaints and our needs they want us to shut the fuck up they want us to all
be making fucking
slippers for them for fucking 50 cents a month they want to have all the cars
they want like it's like
when i went to the farmer's market yesterday right to add to my effeminate
weekend of pumpkin bread
and driving a prius speaking of which you need to store your strawberries more
correctly because
they're just sitting out on the counter and they're going to go bad you know
why you know
why i left them out there because you leave your strawberries out on the
counter because they're not
organic i went to a farmer's market and they actually just have regular you
have to ask them is this
organic and they'll be well you know our farmers blah blah blah blah they can't
even handle 200
people the grocery stores can't handle 200 fucking people walking into a
parking lot to buy some
goddamn eggs they even have to get that money like they just they don't they
they want they want
it all the people at the top so can i have those strawberries if you're not
going to eat them
let's see did you hear did you hear that back and forth this is why we deserve
to get fucking taken
over right here because you can't keep people on you just give a fuck about the
strawberries i'm
talking about the overall picture man i don't care if the strawberries are
organic or not that's not
my cause right now i'm just i like strawberries so i'm trying to stay on topic
with this yeah let's
say um can you come near the mic please so basically what is what is this
person asking you so he's
asking me if i'm worried about artificial intelligence i actually think that
there's human beings behind it
and it's gonna play out like the classic like frankenstein where you build it
and then it comes
back and kicks the shit out of you but like i think you know a lot of people
looking at us like
like human beings as a collective what what are we doing we aren't doing
anything you're expendable
i'm expendable we're an annoyance to them what what the reason why we're still
here is because we pay taxes
we pay interest they got their foot on the back of our fucking neck and we're
helping to buy like some
more fucking gold coins for them every single month but eventually but but the
thing the the big flaw
with human beings is that we complain and we pay attention and we go hey that
isn't fair and i think
super rich people are sick of it and it'd be great wouldn't it be great if we
could somehow get them to just
work not bitch and not have to pay them at all what is the solution let's make
some fucking robots
yeah but then you know the robots would be great but then who are we gonna
fucking pull over to the
side of the road and have them suck our dicks in our back of our limos well we
got to make them more
lifelike so they're gonna try to make these lifelike robots that will do
whatever the fuck they want
and suck their dicks and work out in the fields and all that fucking shit but
then eventually they're
going to get overrun so you are concerned about artificial intelligence then no
i'm not concerned
about it because there's nothing to stop it i just was talking to you about it
and your main focus is
the strawberries right there that little microcosm of that fucking conversation
is why i tapped out a
conspiracy theory i will not talk i mean i'll just i'll do it on this podcast
because i don't listen to somebody
else um either saying that's fucking bullshit or this or that or that or here's
my even crazier
theory because i'm nuts everybody's fucking nuts uh everything has i think i
believe everything has a
beginning a middle and an end and uh human beings are no different and uh you
know whatever i'm gonna
die anyway so what the fuck you're talking about rich people being annoyed by
non-rich people i was just
reading something online that was talking about a dear prudence you know like
an advice column over
the weekend or something and there was a rich person that was saying you know i
live in a very wealthy
community and um you know there are billionaires and stuff around us for the
most part like the street
where i live is just doctors and lawyers and things anyway we just noticed that
every halloween there are all
these people from the poorer neighborhoods that come in and like you know trick-or-treat
and ask for
candy and i just really feel like we're already doing so much you know and
paying so many taxes for
this that and the other like does halloween now have to become a social service
and basically the
advice giver was like wow like you are an asshole like it's halloween it's kids
and candy like are you
really trying to make a bigger statement about society over halloween wait a
minute wait a minute you
canceled halloween at our house not because of any sort of like class issue i
canceled halloween because
people were coming over here acting like morons i don't want 40 year old people
just standing there
dead-eyed looking at me like what's up with the candy or high school kids who
don't well isn't isn't
that what this guy's saying in a way and have the decency all right well then
just take the age of the
people out of it high school's kids who don't even have the decency to come in
a costume who don't
even have the decency to say trick-or-treat they stand there staring at you you
would get an applause
break in this guy's gated community right now yeah but it's like coming it
comes you don't like
women of color but this one makes sense yeah exactly it's like don't come in
here and be like
weird about it i don't care if whoever any kid that comes into the neighborhood
from wherever they are
halloween is awesome in that way because it's cute fun kids they're excited
about going out there with
their parents their parents are like say thank you say like it's a lovely thing
you give out candy to
eight o'clock at night and then you turn the light out exactly that's that's
the thing i just the the
kids that come with no costumes and it's like i'm afraid they're gonna egg the
house so i feel like i have
to give them candy like it's bullshit it's annoying i just want people to to
reciprocate the the
spirit of halloween okay that's your question handing out candy i need a little
something from
you too can you imagine you're so broke that you look forward to halloween so
you can walk up and
try to get a candy bar from another adult do you realize how demoralizing that
is i mean i'm saying
this so but we're getting off track we're getting off track but it's but there's
also freeloaders
out there too but this this is the thing this is the thing nini is what that
guy is saying is how
a lot of rich people view people who aren't rich we uh we should be privileged
that we're in their um
presence yeah like that type of guy that type of guy do you think that that
type of guy
would give a shit if the rest of the world got phased out and was replaced by
robots that would
work for him would never go on strike and were so lifelike that he could fuck
them and it would feel
like he was with the person i mean that's their idea of utopia because they're
fucking sociopath not all
of them but generally speaking they're sociopaths is at the beginning of most
uh yeah sci-fi novels and
it's like the convenience of it and it's great and then the robots eventually
take over yeah because
they're smarter than us and they've somehow been able to continue to evolve
beyond our programming which
is kind of like what her was about a little bit and then yeah and then
basically what happens is then
they forget that like they don't know how to uh well actually a sci-fi movie
what would happen was
there'd be a few humans that they allow to live and then we work for them it's
basically the planet
of the apes fucking template over and over and over again and then we come back
and either mark
walberg or uh morris chestnut or one of those guys morris chestnut please would
be um
is that really his name yes it is that sounds like the name of a cat
yeah it does like somebody who like lives with cats and not people and then all
of a sudden just like
and gives him like real names that over there that now that's morris chestnut
strapping hunking
chocolate piece of gorgeousness that's in movies you've never said that about
me all right uh
