Well, that's the real concern that the people that are that have this dystopian view of artificial intelligence Have is that AI may already exist and it's just sitting there waiting till Americans watch too many bad movies I mean in Asia in Asia everyone thinks AI will be our friend and will love us and help us. Yeah Yeah, very very very much. That's what you're pumping out there No, that's been is their philosophies. I guess I mean you look in Japanese anime I mean there's been a eyes and robots for a long time. They're they're usually people's friends. There's not this old dystopian Aesthetic and it's the same in China and Korea the general Guess there is it a eyes and robots will be people's friends and will will help people And somehow the general guests in America is it's going to be some big nasty Robo-soldier marching down the street. Well, we have guys like Ian Musk who we rely upon Who's smarter than us and he's fucking terrified of it Sam Harris terrified of it Yeah, very smart people that just think it could really be a huge disaster for the human race. I Guess not just bad because no, it's it's a cultural thing because the oriental culture is sort of Social good oriented most orientals think a lot in terms of what's good for the family or the society as opposed to themselves personally So they just make the default assumption that a eyes are going to be the same way worse Americans are more like me me me oriented and I say that as an American as well and They sort of assume that a eyes are going to be that that's one possible It's like a rock sock block, right? Whatever is in your mind you impose on this AI when we don't actually know what it's going to become right? But there it is there are potential Negative aspects of course artificial intelligence deciding that we're illogical and unnecessary Well, we are illogical and unnecessary. Yes, but that doesn't mean that I should be badly disposed to us I mean, yeah, did you see ex machina? I did a beautiful it sure it was a copy of our robot, so It was I mean our robot Sophia Looks exactly like the robot in ex machina. So is a good video that online. Yeah. Yeah, yeah Would tell Jamie how to get the good video. I'll just search for Sophia Hanson robot on Google You'll how advanced is Sophia right now? I mean how many different iterations have there been there's been something like 16 Sophia robots made so far We're moving towards scalable Manufacture over the next couple years. So right right now she's going around sort of as an ambassador for humanoid robot kind giving giving speeches and Talks in various places so she Sophia used to be called Eva Or we had a robot like the current Sophia that was called Eva and then ex machina came out with a robot called Eva Yeah, exactly like the robot that that my colleague David Hanson and I made I think it's coincidence Of course not they just copied it and I mean of course the body they have is better and the AI is better in the movie And our robot AI currently is so we change the name to Sophia which means wisdom Instead, but I mean was it freaky watching that though with the name Eva the moral of that movie is just If you know if a sociopath Raises a robot with an abusive interaction and they come out to be a sociopath or a psychopath So let's let's let's not do that, right? Let's raise our robots with love and that's loving compassion Yeah, you see the thing is they had the we the funny here this I haven't seen this particular Carry on How much is it actually interacting with them It has a chance this comes with Jackson it really has a nice ring
