   DOWN VOTED DUE VOLUME OF AUDIO GOING DOWN AND UP FREQUENTLY, MAKING IT HARD TO LISTEN TO WITHOUT TURNING THE VOLUME WAY UP, WHICH CAN ANNOY OTHERS NEARBY.

   There needs to be a "Public" model.

   A $10-20k computer + AI monolith processing things separately is going to allow any single human being create any digital content on a ridiculous and competent scale. A single person will be able to create stuff quite possibly better quality than any AAA game today, and infinitely faster than companies today. You could create programs and other AI models too, specialized for use by AI to make new tasks infinitely efficient. It's insane what is just on the horizon, as long as we can stop authoritarians from enslaving us all by then.

   people are 100% blind to ai in my village . since the chat gpt moment 5 or 6 years ago , no one ever mentioned ai ever . even though I tell everyone i meet especially young people at school … it's as if ai doesn't exist .

   9:25 While AI algorithms might suggest super-exponential growth, this digital surge is firmly anchored by real-world limitations that don't scale similarly. Why do people keep ignoring this? It boggles belief. The advanced GPUs and CPUs essential for AI are products of multi-billion dollar fabrication plants with complex, vulnerable supply chains, and we're hitting physical limits in chip density. Furthermore, the vast data centers required demand immense physical construction, land, and time. Critically, their operational costs are dominated by staggering energy consumption, potentially rivaling entire nations' power use (they are literally considering making nuclear power plants JUST to power them, and that also takes time to build.) There's also the significant water usage for cooling of the GPUs/CPUs, straining resources particularly in tech-heavy regions. These inescapable bottlenecks in hardware manufacturing, infrastructure build-out, energy generation, and water availability mean that the actual pace of AI deployment is significantly constrained by non-exponential, resource-intensive physical realities. So, that's a pretty big argument against Sam Altman's view which he conveniently never mentions.

   17:30 The idea that society will simply 'have time to adapt' as AI models are gradually released feels like it's viewed through a very narrow, privileged 'Western lens.' It completely overlooks the stark reality of the global digital divide. When we talk about 'society adapting,' which society are we actually referring to? There are billions of people worldwide who lack any access to the internet; for them, adapting to advanced AI isn't even on the radar because these tools might as well not exist in their daily lives.

   Furthermore, the argument ignores billions more whose connection is severely limited, struggling with unreliable, slow internet speeds or accessing the online world only through basic smartphones. How can someone realistically adapt to leverage complex AI co-workers or benefit from 'universal basic compute' when their fundamental digital infrastructure is lacking? The assumption that 'everyone' will be engaging with these advanced AIs and thus needs to adapt their skills and routines seems laughably out of touch. For a huge portion of the global population, the primary challenge isn't adapting to AI's presence, but overcoming the basic hurdles of digital exclusion. This focus on gradual adaptation within highly-connected societies ignores the vast majority for whom the AI revolution, as envisioned by Silicon Valley, remains a distant and largely irrelevant concept.

   18:35 You also indirectly touch on something, what benefit would OpenAI benefit from using AGI to fix world issues? The optimistic view of AGI tackling major world problems, like disease, clashes with the reality of corporate ownership. Why would a company like OpenAI, after investing billions into developing AGI, deploy it for free to solve global issues rather than maximize profit and competitive advantage? Corporate priorities inherently revolve around return on investment, shareholder value, and market dominance. It's far more probable that AGI's immense power will be directed towards profitable ventures—creating disruptive products, dominating markets, or securing lucrative contracts—rather than altruistic, non-monetizable pursuits. Therefore, expecting a corporation-controlled AGI to primarily serve as a global problem-solver overlooks fundamental business realities; its benefits will likely flow where profits are highest, not necessarily where humanitarian needs are greatest.

   Because if they wanted to use it for the greater good, we would ALREADY be solving world issues, people forget we ALREADY live in a society of abundance!! The issue, solving world problems for free, IS NOT profitable!!!!!

   … Life in 2035 is the same as life in the 70's 80's 90's 2000's 2010's 2020's. It's all the same. The only difference is haircuts, clothing, car shapes. The roads are still horrible, stuff is still more expensive, the buildings are still there. 10 years from now? What was it in 2015? No change at all. You look at change decades as half millenniums. 30 years doesn't look like much change. Why don't you choose, 2060?

   “This time it’s different” but the economic growth & lifestyle & disease-free life is only for the rich still, right, or are Africans/S Americans/Middle Easterners/Asians all going to eradicate poverty?

    Ellison is deluded if he thinks always having to be "on our best behavior" is a good thing. Think of a society where every law is enforced at all times, everywhere. Sounds like hell to me.

    Let’s train an AI agent to build a grand human movement to address our climate crisis. To simply swamp the deniers. When will AI lead people to do something hard? 🎉

    The Tech Bro’s expect this big tipping point within 4 years. That is why they bought POTUS. The thousands they are firing will be replaced with AI agents. Guess who gets rich? 🎉

    Learn how to use a mic, the volume dips constantly and your bass is too much and it all adds up to -I CAN BARELY UNDERSTAND YOU!

    I saw that Russia is now using drones to patrol highways, I'm sure that drones will be implemented more and more in Russia because they use so many of them in the "SVO" ( can't say the W word thank you Google)

    When the SVO is done the country will have a huge surplus of drone operators

    In 10 years I'll be 73, I've learned not to be worried about things I can't control. You have to learn to understand and keep up with what is going on. Going with the flow and being adaptable is important in life. I've gone from having a tv with 3 channel to having hundreds and programming a computer with computer cards to what we have now. Life is crazy.

    When the mainframe computer first came into being, the “market” was guesstimated to be 4 machines. Let that rattle around for a bit.
