      My exact same observation. He starts out discerning the insane totally immoral mass National Suicide of the Vietnam War, and ends up being best friends with one of it's main spiritually illiterate morally defective Architects? Regarding "AI", this is an absolutely brilliant conversation right up to the minute on what humanity is facing with AI, but I find Eric Schmidt profoundly suspect. Me, U.S. Army, 1969-1971. I had my eyes wide open through the whole experience and took notes. There is no way this morally defective Nation is going to survive. Those who's economy lives by the sword, will die by the sword. We are all on the road to the FINAL SCENE in "THE GAME" as so clearly stated in the profound 1978 PROPHETIC Allegorical Film "The Deer Hunter" which will most definitely be coming in the looming 2040's. Now Retired, I worked 41 years as a Application Development Software Engineer. I loved every single minute of it. But the Dr. Strangelove factor of Eric Schmidt is just too much for me.

    I teach in adult education in outreach so this means to those who didn’t get their qualifications at school in the standard way and are returning to learning. But returning to learning for many different reasons and for different outcomes. Learning is more than knowledge acquisition it holds instead it many self identify signifiers which are not necessarily known to the learner. They are learning about how they learn why they learn as much as about the content too. How deep a dive they want to go into their individual learning pathways is up to them but as educationalists in the work I do we do have to know the differences in an individual’s approach to learning because it has been disaffected somewhere along the line through economic disadvantage or not having their learning style met in the standard classroom.
    For this reason we réfère to education as a journey and a pathway because the destination is navigated and it works best when the process is collaborative as in the learner is aware of how they learn best and what their challenges are to ensure they see challenge as objective as a tool not a signifier of self identify that can create low emotional self value.
    Having said all that the emergence I am seeing because I teach English to refugees is the way translations can be a fast way to communicate without holding all the knowledge.
    So my feeling is AI will offer voice strips in the future and when you speak out loud the voice strips will translate your voice into any language. This exists on phones but I think there will be more bio AI apps like a voice strip like a patch and navigation systems that talk to you more like a real person would that can see all the objects and elements in real time. So yes I think AI might help with how someone learns but I think there will be more apps that will say we can replace you not knowing with apps that make it look like you know to facilitate communication in the moment.
    Like language learning.
    People will still need to know for themselves but the tools to learn will be at some point many stages of efficiency that some of the tools will actually do the job themselves.

    Science isn't based primarily on "proof" like mathematics, but on evidence, prediction, and observations that test the prediction, and so add to the evidence. Nature, not mathematics or people, has the final word about the best current world model.

    • @glenndewulf4843
      @glenndewulf4843 Před měsícem +4

      In a sense I feel like you could say that experimentational results or "evidence" as you're referring to it there is effectively proof by demonstration.
      I guess the funny part is: you don't even really need to understand or know what you are proving.
      The math does itself, you just gotta look at the results and then try to figure out what the math was before it did what it did.
      Of course nature has the final word on being the best model for... Itself.
      But I don't really understand your approach here to downplaying mathematics in terms of it's ability to describe nature.
      It is eerily effective at describing it.
      To the point where you get genuinely amazed by it over and over again the deeper you go into studying these things.
      Hell, Dirac (iirc) discovered anti-matter by correctly interpreting that a square root solution must be positive AND negative.
      The correct mathematical notation of a square root is the symbol with a + - symbol infront of it.
      Since two negatives times each other equal a positive.
      So he discovered anti-matter, before the experimentational discovery of anti-matter (as in, where they understood what it was), without even really knowing what it was except for expecting an opposite charge.
      In a sense, the mathematics he was doing was more accurate than he intended.
      It was *better* at describing reality than anyone expected in that specific case.
      It showed the existence of anti-matter before we discovered the existence of anti-matter.
      And all because of a rather abstract and generally not very important mathematical fact about square root operations. LOL.
      So I'm sorry but I genuinely think you are underestimating mathematics.
      Particularly, although this is personal opinion, I think you're extremely mistaken about mathematics in the sense that we're the ones making it up.
      We're making up the symbols, we're making up some axioms and trying others just in case, and so on.
      Our math isn't perfect either, not even close. There are some problems we simply don't have the tools for. (3n+1), Riemann, ...
      But see that's the thing though. Nature's mathematics, so a theory of everything, IS PERFECT.
      It cannot be anything but perfectly mathematical.
      If there are any faults in mathematics, then it lies within OUR interpretation of it.
      Because the right answers are there to find. The problem is we need the correct tools. And it's very easy to use a wrong tool.

      ..So would you say -- and this is only "coincidentally" related to your example -- that for example the discovery of the possibility of the square root of negative (-) numbers and how it has given us a framework for real-world application in electricity, engineering, fractals, etc, could be an interpretation of math/nature that is eerie to us humans because it's true nature may be potentially beyond the scope of human interpretation even though we can still leverage it in practical ways?
      Just thinking out loud, not trying to get off topic, but that reminds me of hologram universe theories. :)

      As someone who does mathematics as a hobby (although kinda passionately so), my personal opinion is that there is absolutely something "eerie" or "freaky" about mathematics. Or at least certain concepts within it that reveal something.
      Like for example 1/3 = 0.333...
      2/3 = 0.666...
      3/3 = 0.999... = 1.
      Like this is the most simple example I can think of and I often bring it up...
      If you are thinking about this deeply and you don't find it freaky, I don't think you understand it. Maybe I don't either, but I must've gone deep enough to feel the freaky. Hahah.
      I love this one because it's kinda like a limit in math without being an actual limit.
      An infinitesimally small number so close to zero that it equals zero.
      Or an infinitesimally-close-to-1-number, which is so close to 1 that it equals it.
      You can surely claim more advanced knowledge, I'll concede it.
      You can go into depth and explain this all you want.
      But man, isn't this freaky? Something freaky going on there.
      And this isn't even remotely chaos theory or all that stuff. This is just division and multiplication of fractions, and already we can run into things we don't *really* understand (I think).
      Well, as far as I know, mathematics is full of that.

    Brian, please do one of these interview-talks with Scott Arronson. Seems you are of late interviewing people with deep pockets, especially when it comes to tech-oriented topics. The quantum computing conversation hype tendency needs to be constantly reined in by the actual science. We need to be constantly reminded that engineering isn't science, that subjective motives bring the very noise that makes science so necessary (and effective). To my mind, computation is limited in a hard way by basic causality, by the cost of structure, or more specifically, the cost of changing structure (one to zero, zero to one). This cost is absolute. Information demands latency of this structure. Structure itself only makes sense in any computational domain, to the extent that structure is defined as latency. So… if a dynamics that produces quantum entanglement and superposition, can only do so outside of structural latency, well something needs to be accounted for regarding the cost of translation from informational structure to the unstructured (latency-free) world of quantum dynamics and then back out to informational structure. Susskind has struggled towards this notion in his work to translate between general relativity and quantum dynamics. To wit, this is not a computational problem, this is a basic physics problem. And, importantly, we've seen a new scientific realm taken to absurd fringes before. Alchemy, gases as ethers, electricity as progenitor of life, rockets and science fiction, robots as slaves, and now, computers as gateway to rapturous access to immortality and omnipotence). Time for some reality. Tech titans like Schmidt are people who have experienced a long string of fortunate events. They can't help but to be wearing deeply tinted rose-colored glasses, and can't help but be ridiculously optimistic, at a level mimicking extreme narcism. They re also likely to be very very good at charm and rhetorical manipulation. If this is really a science-oriented, science-driven group, let’s get back to the core of science, its demand that we self-identify all of the sources of subjective bias and noise that we bring, and to go about the methodological filtering of that noise so that we might better see beyond what we might want or fear to be, to what actually is. Unless we do, Quantum Computing and AI are bound to become the "Singularity", the "Cold Fusion", of the 2020s.

    I LOVE this idea of a math tutor Ai that uses visuals and generated images that break any math problem down into the fewest steps needed to come up with the correct answer, and still be easy to remember, including adaption to the personality and/or learning speed/ability of the student. Brilliant idea, including the idea of free to everyone (revenue comes from advertising, digital mining, or some other clever and practical, eco-friendly and/or freedom-friendly operation, grants, NDA's etc.); as well it seems a genius idea to use the "for-profit model" of a non-governmental corporation, to attract the best minds and rogue geniuses out there to develop such AI systems (even if ur primary customer might b some 3 letter agency out there- it's about selling an image and branding the idea that the "best minds go here to get a job, because they pay better and treat u better than most other boot camps, even the US Navy...". I'd love to get in an early investment (if i get the funds someday), or even help write the by-laws for such a "S-corporation, tech-start-up"- to look into such win-win, applied AI products and services. If nothing else, i'd be willing to pay hundreds of my own, hard-earned buck$ for such a "math tutor robot" that lets me learn on my own schedule and be move at whatever speed i feel comfortable with, either slower or faster, ... so i wouldn't get bored with the pace of things. Excellent product idea, so i'll just pray the Google Goddess somehow makes it so, and thanks for this genius video featuring two, real geniuses... u guys r aririte n my book!

      P.S. - i'd think that the existing language model Ai could prolly come up with suitably or even surprisingly humorous or clever, pneumonic stories or poems to help capture the attention of moody or easily distracted students, kids with ADHD or ADD, teach spelling/reading to students with dyslexia, etc. Good luck on the cyber warfare: it looks like one of freedom's enemies has already gotten the jump on the USA and several other democratic societies/nations on this planet, so i'm praying that "our" supercomputer, super-duper Ai beats "their" supercomputer Ai, even if means our boys and girl permit the Ai to launch a first-strike under those two parameters: 1.) it's bad for nation_x__ ; and it's good for USA.

    what about nested questions such as: How do I transport 2 kayaks from point (a) home to take a river trip from point (b) start of river kayak trip to point (c) end of river kayak trip. There are two kayaks, two vehicles SUV (can transport kayaks) another MX-5 (can only transport up to two people), two people. How to shuttle kayaks vehicles and people such that kayaks are never left unattended by at least one of the two people, and such that both people go down the river from point (b) to (c), and eventually get everyone and everything back home point (a).

    • @AchimDaffin
      @AchimDaffin Před 28 dny

      This is what it came up with
      Here are the steps you can follow to transport two kayaks from point (a) home to take a river trip from point (b) to point (c) using two vehicles, an SUV and an MX-5, and ensuring that kayaks are never left unattended by at least one of the two people:
      Load both kayaks onto the SUV and drive to point (b) with both vehicles.
      Unload the kayaks at point (b) and leave one person to watch over them while the other drives the MX-5 back to point (a).
      Once at point (a), the person with the MX-5 should pick up the remaining person and drive to point (b).
      At point (b), the two people can start kayaking down the river. They should make sure to keep at least one person with the kayaks at all times.
      After reaching the end of their kayaking trip at point (c), they should load the kayaks back onto the SUV.
      One person should then drive the SUV back to point (b) with the kayaks while the other person rides in the MX-5.
      Once everyone has returned to point (b), they can load the kayaks onto the SUV and both people can ride back to point (a) in the SUV.
      By following these steps, you can successfully transport two kayaks from point (a) home to take a river trip from point (b) to point (c) using two vehicles while ensuring the safety of the kayaks and keeping them attended at all times.
      As you can see the nested difficulties )levels of temporal as well as geographic tokens, even sequence is not grasped. So in the following I'll show how human does have the capability to solve, it really is amazing what the mind does and we take for granted.

    • @AchimDaffin

      after giving it the right answer it still persisted on unneeded complications
      How about doing it this way?... Suv with boats and one driver, along with one driver in Miata drive to end point of boat trip. Leave the Miata there locked. The driver of Miata gets in SUV with boats and other driver and take it back to start to begin their boat trip to end point. At end point, now leave one person with boats, other person drives Miata to start, and switches to SUV, returns to finish to pick up boats and other driver, they return to start, one driver gets out and then gets in Miata to drive it home, while other driver drives SUV and boats home.
      ChatGPT
      Yes, that is another way to shuttle the boats with the two vehicles. Here are the steps for this scenario:
      The two people with the two vehicles will drive to the ending point of the boat trip with both vehicles.
      They will leave the Miata locked at the ending point and both people will get into the SUV with the boats and drive back to the starting point of the trip.
      Once they arrive at the starting point, they can unload the boats and gear and leave the SUV with the boats there. One person will stay with the boats while the other person drives the Miata back to the ending point of the trip.
      At the ending point, the person with the Miata will leave the car there, switch to the SUV with the boats and the other person, and they will begin the boat trip to the starting point.
      When they reach the starting point, they can unload the boats and gear and leave one person with the boats while the other person drives the Miata back to the ending point.
      At the ending point, the person with the Miata will get in and drive it back to the starting point to pick up the other vehicle.
      The SUV can then drive back to the ending point with the boats and the other person, pick up the person who stayed with the boats, and return to the starting point to drop off the other person and the Miata.
      Finally, one person can get into the Miata and drive it home, while the other person drives the SUV with the boats home.
      By using this shuttle method, the boats are never left unprotected by at least one person, ensuring their safety and security. However, it does require an additional step of switching between vehicles during the shuttle process.
