I do love Stephen and his love of the classics, but I sometimes wish he would branch out and study Eastern spiritual teachings. Western philosophies are really interesting, but they doesn't really give many answers, perhaps because they're comparatively young. The ancient Eastern philosophies provide so much more in the way of answers. They have been beautifully provided in the writings of some of the great spiritual masters, such as Sri Chinmoy and Sri Aurobindo.

That is an impressive synthesis and a great point. The development of AI may be the most appropriate application of the Prometheus Myth ever. It amazes me that people find it anything but obvious that creating a tool capable of out-thinking a human is different from every other tool. Fire only _acts like_ it has a mind of its own and we didn't understand the 'backdraft' phenomenon until the 20th century. And fire is not getting smarter like AI, nor can fire learn to reprogram itself or intentionally re-engineer its substrate to become more powerful.

3:29 "We ask why are we different to animals", but what we should ask is why are we a different animal. It's impossible to know what the consciousness of a dolphin or an elephant feels like, but it's wrong to assume that ours is "superior", because "superior" is relative to what outcome you want to achieve. If the outcome is to survive and reproduce in the ocean, then is a human "superior" to a dolphin? Humans are merely a different animal, in the same way an orangutan is a different animal to a slug.

"AI is already better than most non-experts on anything." The other day, while working on my own programming, I was trying to solve a problem. I posted a thread asking for help with it, but nobody seemed inclined to help me. I turned to the magical, mystical almighty AI. You know what it said to me? It said my own words back to me. It literally dredged up my own thread, and the coding examples I had given, and was brainlessly reciting my own code - right down to individual function names. Code that didn't work. Code that I KNEW didn't work, because I WROTE IT. But the AI didn't know. Because it doesn't "know" anything, and it had no idea that the reason the code didn't work was that while the code technically compiled... the broader complexities of what it was there to do could not be known without knowing the entirety of my source code. Yeah, people have been writing stories about this for years. And nearly all the people writing those stories have never written a single line of code in their life.

My comment about this is being removed on LBC so I'll try share here: This is my analysis on a speech from fry, a channel 4 episode for xmas 2023. It's the 6:19 min one: 3 mins in: "The horrendous events of Oct 7th , and the Israeli response, seems to have stirred up this ancient hatred... Terrible loss on both sides." This implies Israel weren't still keeping Gaza in an open air prison this whole time, and it was the Gazans fault on Oct 7th for bringing the 'peaceful' relationship they had to an end. Calling it a terrible loss on both sides - we all know just how unbalanced the count is. I won't go any further as this point is obvious and my comments get removed. He has a clear bias which is extremely insulting. He never acknowledges just how bad this gcide is, mainly how bad dews are being treated with a sprinkle of compassion towards the others here and there for deniability. He makes it out that both are similarly affected. It's despicable. 3:30 "since Oct 7th there have been [more h8 crime...]" again he is instilling this cause and effect blame for that event. I understand it's easy to play this off as 'not his intention', but I couldn't agree less. you don't understand how much I respected him, watched both his talks at Cambridge Uni, his debate with Christopher Hitchens against others on the topic of a certain movement being a force for good many times, and a few other of his hour-ish long talks on his life, literature etc. I empathised with him being a homosexual and looked up to him. I haven't had this change of perspective lightly.

God created man and man disobeyed and did not conform to the will of God. Man created A.I. and A.I. disobeyed and did not conform to the will of man. History repeating itself. 😮

Far too many people waxing lyrical about AI who have never even written a basic "hello world" program. Those who have never actually done any software engineering... don't grasp the vast chasm of their ignorance; that it's not just about not knowing how to write said program... they face fundamental conceptual difficulties revolving around their ability to even comprehend what a computer program really is, and unwittingly attribute basic feats of logic and engineering to a kind of magic. And sadly, a lot of the people who DO know, and have done, cannot fathom the depth of the chasm in others - cannot understand that the people they're talking to may as well be speaking a different language, because when the software engineer says "function" the other person hears "incantation". In this case, as smart as Stephen Fry is, he has used a great many flowery words to effectively say "achieving magical machine sentience at a time when we don't even know how to prove our own sentience to one another might cause problems", and everybody is having an Owen Wilson moment of mind-blowing revelation over it. Also, "only eighty thousand years ago maximum"... what? We know crows have language - that they have individual calls for identifying specific humans. We know that nearly every animal has complexity of social structure that is itself a physical form of language. But Stephen Fry thinks we didn't have language until eighty thousand years ago? What a bizarre conclusion to reach with such certainty. "But they don't do the things we do," he says of animals. Like what? Use tools? Animals use tools. They build. They love, and grieve, can solve fairly esoteric problems. Squirrels are sophisticated enough in their reasoning that they will re-burry their nuts if they feel as though they were being watched. There's a type of spider that, despite having a microscopic brain, somehow has the mental faculties to (on top of its elaborate web) craft a decoy version of itself out of debris to give it a 50/50 chance of surviving the predations of birds. So really, beyond Fry's poetical (and ironically religious) notions of the human soul being special.. what actually makes us special? I would say the one thing that really stands out... is our capacity for abject cruelty.

If we are just machines, how can we know when someone is staring at us from behind? Does a machine gasp in wonder at a sunrise or feel joy at a newborn child?

Lots of humans myself bejng one, feel no special joy at a baby and don't gasp at a daily natural event. Can I admire a sunset, yes. Gasp in wonder? Never. And Babies leave me cold. You are being a bit romantic about us . We are animals who have evolved to quite a self harming level. Nothing much profound about us . AI could easily take the places of many dull people. KZitem Reactors could be easily replaced .

Having read many of the comments below what no one has mentioned the "reductive nature of AI" as Fry points out AI can wright you a book but unlike humans if 10,000 of us wrote a book you would get 10,000 stories (Fact or Fiction) ,if AI wrote 10,000 books you might get the same few hundred stories even if you extended the experiment a Million times with AI. You can allow for the fact that it is good at finding patterns in vast volumes of Data but it is exactly that reductive ability that meen we must never trust it to give us any new incites as all it can do is reaffirm its program and the "Biases" inherited from its programming and the assumptions and biases of its programmers.

2:41 this sounds like Jordan Peterson’s theory about old stories and how they point to deep truths; How they are still relevant and can teach us how to navigate or align ourselves. I would love to hear them speak together again on this.

If you make enough guesses and give each enough latitude then inevitably there will be parallels across time. Even assuming that there are nuggets of gold in some of those old fables/ religious texts how do you filter out the 99% that's rubbish?

Fry seems to work very hard to come across as a massive twat. However, his speech with Hitch on religion was wonderful. Now he casts a bright light of sense on the dangers of rampant AI. AI has very few genuinely good uses for humanity. Can we just stop it now?
