56:14 - "____ calls humans the ____ of the cosmos" - can someone fill these blanks for me?

58:01 I think it is really contentious to suggest ChatGPT falsifies Universal Grammar (UG), since one of the driving arguments for UG is the 'poverty of stimulus' - meaning, there is absolutely no way in which an infant is exposed to vast chunks of data like large language models (LLMs) are. In order to 'learn' in the absence of vast chunks of data, you probably need underlying structures/principles. Not to mention how 'Chinese Room' type arguments aren't exactly settled either - if by 'learning' we mean to suggest something in addition to brute performance. I think, so long as the question of Artificial Intelligence ('Can Machines Think') hinges on interpretation (What is thought? What is it to learn?), falsification of any sort is pretty much out of the picture.

👍👍👍

Super

Interesting stuff from Yanis...end of capitalism...feudal capitalism...no stock trading...until the ideology kicks in..."China not an empire", Are you joking? Comparing European slavery from >150 years ago to current Chinese activity in Africa, really? China building infra in Africa for "better trade deals in the future"...sure. All of these ridiculous statements completely discounted the earlier part of what was an excellent conversaton.

bill kouligas is my dad's friend and comes to visit quite a lot. I'm not sure I understand his creative angle very much though!

Insanely good panel. Thank you for publishing it!

I do not appreciate jokes about Gulag. Who likes jokes about Gulag?

This is the product when beautiful minds are exposed!

why the subtitle option doesn't work? :(

Now the opposite is happening to Europe with the people from Africa

Every country must have their own social media

Put subtitle

I like yanis, but he's too smart to be this blind about China, which tells me he's in ccps pocket... which is sad

Two ideological marxists comforting each other 😂

getting used to his English, even enjoy it lol

Yanis would be a great friend.

Just a side note: 3:55 Yanis would make a WICKED Dr. X. :D

42:40 51:00 ab53:45! new semantic (symbolic?!) structure: ChatGPT, siehe 55:35! 58:50 reference = Sprache / Symbol / Signifikant 1:02:45 1:05:25! 1:10:50 the goal of language is to speak to itself, language is the real

A failed economist and a failed ideological "philosopher". I lose brain cells listening to bad ideas like these

Is this his first time publicly talking in person with Sloterdijk? I swear Žižek brings him up and compliments him in like half of his lectures

Can anyone give searchable names of the books about China referenced by Zizek 1:48:30 ?

Great philosopher for tech illiterates. Idk much about his EU and Greek economy expertise but he’s kind of out of his depth when talking about tech, china, etc.

Slavoj, you are one of my favorite living humans 🙌🙌🙌

Does someone remember the futurist movie they mention? it was a year, like 1984 or some other year... :S

Discusting jokes about gulags... These are public intellectuals 👏 Flirting with Marx and making jokes out of almost direct outcome of Marx ideas 💡 Something is horribly wrong here.

Please can someone put some subject points or something so we have a small clue what this chat covers?

Funny that I watch this on Black Friday when I just got calls for Make Amazon Pay.

Yanis is being way too much on the Chinese side in this talk. there is well verified research against some of his statements.PS: it's not just a business for China, it is strategic planning and steps to spread the control and influence. But please correct me if I'm wrong or if I misunderstood here. Thank you for sharing this though. (-:

What would say Greek philosophers about this guys?

Sloterdijk goes so fuckin hard at 53:00 on ~ “matrix”

not so public use of reason when they disable the automatic subtitles

Unbelievable conversation, great minds - great results.

honestly, I listened to the first 45 minutes and couldn't get any further. It really just sounded like 'these young folks don't use their brains, they don't know what truth is' most of the time. There are nuggets in here, but by god it's tedious finding them.

pozdrav

I completely agree with Mr. Zizek when he said we like to deceive ourselfs, we all live in a illusion to some extent, it's a mechanism to make ourselfs more comfortable in our skin .

Wat een akelige introductie.

babble in the air

Sloterdijk s Bad English...

Meanwhile Volkswagen is was cheating on their car emissions and building shitty, unreliable cars.

2 genija našeg vremena

wwweirdos.?

So beautiful.

what a phenomenal talk! thank you!!!

We need 4 hours of this, truly the boss should go to gulag for only giving us 2 hours

I read the interview of O.Sloterdijk for the Slovenian weekly "Mladina". Politically biased on the trail of standard German politics. Full of prejudices and old German Russophobia. A pity for such an intellectual in a connoisseur.

1:25:23 Funny how she talks about Lacan and then asks for an authentic left xD
