This was a thought-provoking conversation about the future of artificial intelligence in our society. When we're busy working on incremental progress in AI, it's easy to forget to look up at the stars and to remember the big picture of what we are working to create and how to do it so it benefits everyone.
This ‘are we living in a simulation’ question is really bugging you…
eh Lex? 🙂
The general solution to most hobbyists only having a few saws and drills at home isn't for the government to set up CNC routers all over the country, but for the hobbyist to join a Makerspace.
In some ways renting GPU time as a collective is easier then setting up a Makerspace because the resources can be anywhere on the internet, for instance where power and cooling are least expensive.
Until electricity and microprocessor fabrication are as cheap as ideas, there will always be scarcity of both.

"Open"AI with closed source code. Isn't the fundamental concept of security to use open source, heavily scrutinized, software?
44:50 I'm shocked, Open AI was suppose to be open and share its AI developments with the world. But as soon as they develop anything really good they declare it unsafe to release, and therefor keep it private. If that is their policy, then there is nothing open about open AI. They are hypocrites, promoting the image of openness, while holding back and presumably benefiting from their best discoveries. Its fine if they want to keep their developments private, but don't also claim to be open at the same time.
