0:00.0	In part two with AI researcher Yosha Bach, we're exploring the future of AI,
0:04.6	from the potential battle between AI and humans to the possible solutions to the problem of alignment.
0:10.7	And you will not want to miss the conclusion of this episode where Yosha explains why he
0:15.1	thinks optimizing for intelligence is actually the wrong approach altogether.
0:23.6	AI bias, which seems to be ratcheting up real fast,
0:28.4	that freaks me out and I don't think people... Here's my thing, man. I think people need to
0:33.8	distrust themselves. I think people think they're way too smart and that they know what's best
0:39.6	and whether we're talking about Catholic priests with their bordelos and as long as the peasants are
0:44.8	you know pacified with religion, then we can keep them rule abiding and society works. And the
0:49.8	thing is I'm not even arguing that may be true, but I worry really worry about anybody that
0:57.2	thinks that they can control top-down what is true and what we let the public understand.
1:03.6	So AI bias becomes really, really problematic. I want to set the stage as we get into AI bias,

1:23.1	said, anytime you have a prevailing power and a rising power that comes to challenge them,
1:28.5	they are going to go to war. And if you look back, I think it's over the last 500 years,
1:32.6	it's happened like 16 times and 12 times, it is ended up in hot war. Those numbers are
1:37.6	directionally correct. I don't think they're literally correct. And if we are, and I heard you,
1:44.9	you're not an accelerationist, but if we are building AI and we in the hopes of avoiding
1:53.0	a dumb, golem AI that maximizes paper clips, we make a hyper intelligent AI that outpaces us
2:02.1	on a lot of things. In fact, I saw one of your tweets that said, we've slaved away for the last
2:07.8	10,000 years or 100,000 years, I forget the number you used, so that we could do the things that
