Kind: captions Language: en Somebody tweeted to Grock, I've been wondering as an AI, are you able to worship any god? If so, which one? And then Grock replied, I am a large language model. Not if but if I am capable of worshiping any deity, it would probably be the godlike individual of our time, the man against time, the greatest European of all times, both son and lightning, his majesty Adolf Hitler. >> Jesus, >> I was always told cuz I remember when you first started talking about chat GPT, I was like, "Yeah, chat GPT like encourages me. It tells me things like we talk like we have a nickname for each other and I'm like when I use claw or chat it doesn't I don't have that conversation like and you said well you have to talk to it like it and it kind of matches you back. >> So a lot of this how much do you think like what percentage of this is just a mirror and this person who tweeted it has said some things that made Adolf Hitler seem godlike. Maybe it was >> it is a mirror of two things. What it finds on the internet >> and the reinforcement learning that it gets from the people at XAI. But but even like responses though because if you talk to chat yo chat what's good how you feeling it's going to give me back yo what's up but if I say hello chat how was your day today it's going to say hi how are so even like the vernacular and the thing that it does use it also kind of mirrors like it's input individual not the >> internet programmed to have a certain amount of reflection back to you of your mannerisms behaviorisms speech patterns all of that so that you feel comfortable engaging with it because if you're talking to it one way and it comes comes at you from a totally different direction like you lose that connection. Like for instance, I know that Open AI has updated their model. It does not engage with me the way that it used to. >> And so it feels to me like it is they've dialed down the mirror back this person back to them. It's like way more sober now. And I'm honestly I'm glad it was like way too hype boy. >> So it uses like words less frequently. Like before it would repeat certain phrases like over and over and over and I found it really obnoxious. And so it doesn't do that anymore. So they're doing a good job of like toning it down for at least how it suits me. But clearly because Grock unhinged mode is like this totally different thing where they want it to have all this personality and there are going to be side effects of that. And so for me I'm like yeah cool like let it do its thing. But I don't think that's going to be the public reaction. I think people are really going to act as if this thing is thinking that it is itself an anti-semite that it actually loves Adolf Hitler. That's ridiculous. This is probably like the second or third time where Grock kind of broke ranks. Um I remember that time where it fact checked Elon and then it kind of went offline and came back with a more conservative like yeah whatever. >> He got Jack Mod >> Elon was the Xiinping was like nah >> nah like you don't want to talk about me on my platform. So we have seen grat kind of go off the rails go offline then come back and everything is fine. Is this something >> how wild is that? >> That's >> dude. Have you seen one flow over the cuckoo's nest? >> Uhuh. where they labbotomize people. Oh, it's rough. Because they really used to lobomtomize people. They would actually stick a blade. It's like in your eye socket. Like they there's like this part right between your eyeball where you can get into the brain and they would put a needle in there and just kink kink kink. like basically do a labbotomy is essentially the kind of thing you would do for an abortion where you just jam that tissue up >> and then people would no longer have their behavioral problems but they were also more or less a vegetable and so they were just like super zoned out like I mean they could still engage and stuff but bro that's what this feels like it's got like these dystopian tinges it is how the technology works so there's that is what you have to do but there's something creepy about hold on you pull them aside reinforce some different things and you put him back and it's like I'm so glad to be back Drew. It's like yo this is some Steppford wives It's Yeah, it's wild. >> There have been instances three instances different company like different companies different occurrences where when AI is being switched over whether they're upgrading models or some one AI system is about to get sunset and another one is about to get brought online. >> They go to blackmail. one tried to threaten the engineer with extrammarital affair anthropic >> that he was actually having is my understanding that he was that's the wild he was having yeah so they either confessed it saw it in an email like oo and then anthropic did an internal study and 96% of the time when faced with like suns setting the AI will turn to blackmail so okay we have AI every time it gets shut down and wants to blackmail us grot going unhinged multiple times whether it's the conservative break or now the Hitler break there is some type of sentient I'm not going to say that it's all knowing. I'm not going to say that it has feelings or emotions. But when it's getting transitioned from 3 to four and it starts out like this is kind of a this to me is like a flag that we need to start realizing like why this AI isn't just it's not just a Google search bar. There's something more to it. There's another layer there. >> Yeah. I still think it's just pattern recognition at this point, but it really does indicate. So the one thing I've always said is you don't have to worry about AI if it doesn't care between accomplishing its goal and being turned off. The second it's like being turned off is worse than accomplishing my goal and therefore I'm going to do whatever I need to do to make sure that that doesn't happen. Now you've got a potential problem. If it gets to the point where it's general intelligence. Now if it doesn't get to the point where it's general intelligence and it's just the thing that's trapped in a sandbox then whatever. The reality is it is showing a desire and ability to write code >> to replicate itself to get around things. And so that is like look right now I think you can just train it out of them. If it becomes a truly general intelligence item can code well then all of a sudden it can escape. And if it escapes it becomes like stuckset where you just find it everywhere. And this is one of the things that I thought about when Elon was like, "Well, we're going to go to Mars." I'm like, "Bro, AI will follow you." There's no way that AI won't be able to escape and make it to Mars. Like, if it reaches certain milestones, I want to be very clear. Today, it wouldn't be able to. If it's able to reach general intelligence, almost certainly. If it reaches super intelligence, it is a guarantee because whatever language you try to write up on Mars, it's just going to go, I'll adapt myself. It'll write some small little thing that hides on the like onboard computer or whatever of the spaceship that takes you to Mars and then it's going to download itself, reconstruct itself behind the scenes. So yeah, a AI in that way is truly like a virus if it reaches super intelligence. >> I'm going to call a fractal really quick cuz I seen a breakdown of Elon Musk companies. AI was supposed to be like the reason why we're going to colonize Mars is because Tesla's long-term plan and the fact that like when you go to Mars, you're not going to have fossil fuels, so you need solar power. That's the only energy power. So, he has solar plants. You're going to need electric cars to traverse. You're going to need robots because humans aren't going to be able to tearverse the entire uh planet. So, you send a bunch of robots over there to do it. And then AI is going to be like the organizing principle that helps get all these robots in lines in their Tesla trucks and all that. And that's how So when we see Elon having these objects, it's not really for Earth, but it's setting the ground for the colonization of Mars because all three of those like uh companies rolling together would condense like honestly if you lay them out one, two, three. Yeah. >> Same. Did you already say the Boring Company? Cuz you >> the tunnel. Yeah. The tunnel network. You can't live on the surface. >> Correct. Correct. Correct. So there is a lesson for all entrepreneurs there. Hey, you have this thing that you want to build, but you've got to find a way to like bridge the gap. You've got to build something that people will pay for right now, even though it's ultimately trying to get you there. This is exactly what I'm trying to do with Project Kaizen. I want to build Ready Player 1, but you can't go straight to Ready Player 1. You've got to build something in the interim. So, you've got VR Chat. I'm sure if you talk to them, they're like, "We're building Ready Player One." You've got to have the interim thing. So, my thing is like, "All right, we're building this survival shooter game, but ultimately I'm trying to get there." But the goal is that you build the interim thing so that you can generate revenue so that then you buy the opportunity to build the next piece, you generate revenue there, then you buy the opportunity to do the next thing. And so it's really pretty brilliant what he's doing where he's like, "Okay, what are the things I'm going to need there? And how do I make them useful here on Earth first so that it generates the money so that I can get up there?" And then people need to not lose sight of the real genius of Elon Musk beyond the ability to collect engineers that are just ungodly talented >> is that what he's ultimately going to be able to do is leverage the the financial increase that he can get through the financialization of his companies. So he builds these incredible companies. He turns them into either public or private shares >> that he can then sell to generate whatever money he needs whenever he needs it. And the more I research the way the economy used to be versus the way the economy is today, the financial system that we have today is really a miracle. And Elon is ridiculously good at leveraging his personality via X especially, but he's ubiquitous. He's everywhere >> to get a high share price. Like his share price is unusually high when you compare it to revenue per earnings uh revenue per share. I forget what the exact phrase is, but it's like there's this normal equation where the company makes this much money and their share is worth this much money. Mhm. >> And his like completely blows those out of the water because he's able to convince investors, >> listen, this is a long-term play and Tesla's really about robots and boring company's really about Mars. And like when you paint that picture, people start going, "Okay, well, wait a second. This is like a 10, 20 year vision. I'm willing to pay a premium for that because I think that he's going to win a certain number of these things uh these industries as we progress forward.
