  1.  So this is going to be incredibly easy. I just need to know the secrets to the universe and the answers to everything, no problem. What happens if everything goes wrong? [, Music, ]. https://www.techtricksclub.net/hide-your-game-activity-on-steam/ was speaking to someone who I think we both know Elon Musk, and he was talking to me about the importance of not finding the right answer but asking the right questions. What is the right question? One of the big questions is whether technology is going to end up being a friend or end up being our enemy. There are people, including Elon, who talk about a singularity in which suddenly, the machines, the robots, the artificial intelligence surpass us realize that they don't need us anymore and that they will create their own universe and in some ways humans will be made redundant. It would be really weird in an existential way to think of an earth without humans or human intelligence, but that's what happens to species they eventually become extinct. Maybe they have a good run of 200,000 300,000 years, but then they go. You know. Technology has the possibility of helping us to figure out how to keep this planet safe at a deal with carbon and whatever the next problem might be. It also has the potential to create new weapons of war, to change the way we fight wars. It will be only as good or as bad as we make it. How can we get to the future that we all dream about, having, I think, we're getting too uptight as a society on issues that we don't totally understand and it's as if we're feeling technology more than embracing it? In fact, despite what some people worried about employed is going to slowly, I don't know why my phone doesn't do voice recognition perfectly totally understand what I want and is able to when I say, what's happening with the Saints. No I'm talking about an oil and football team and not canonized do-gooders. From centuries, past Ada Lovelace in the 1830s wrote about how was important to have human creativity and machine processing power seamlessly join together. We'Re still marching down that process and it's been about. You know 200 years since we've had great Industrial Revolution machines and they're getting more and more intelligent, and I just hope we can speed that up and learn to work with our machines better. Do you think that we need to become an interplanetary civilization in order to survive? I think it'd be cool. I think it'd be cool to go to Mars. I think it'd be cool to settle of the planet, not just because we may need to escape the earth, which I'm not sure, is the biggest problem, but we would learn how to live in different environments. We would learn how to adopt, and that is something that is so distinctly human, we're learning machines we get to adapt, we get to figure out how to do things, and it only happens when we push ourselves when a John Kennedy, you know exactly 50 years ago, Says I we're going to send a man to the moon and return it that helped push thing. We don't do that much anymore. We have a government that somewhat paralyzed, why you know Google. It was a group of graduate students who are being funded by the National Science Foundation to understand information technology, the Internet. It was funded by the Pentagon, the first computers, the first transistor is the first microchips we're all done because our government dream big. Nowadays, we can't even get an airport fixed. We have air traffic control systems that are far less advanced than my iPhone. So we have a government in this country in which we can't dream big and say: let's figure out the next scientific advances, the next basic research. We'Re going to do so, that's the big danger I see with the United States government around the world. The problem is totally failed governments. I do worry about that and I hope that in the next election cycle, people good faith just take that power and say: let's not have a government - that's totally dysfunctional [ Music ]. What did you learn about the future from Steve Jobs? Steve Jobs believed very strongly that the future belongs to those who can connect art with science. Those who stand at the intersection of beauty and technology and that's where humans and machines can work together. Well, because https://www.techtricksclub.net/best-wireless-microphone-for-dj/ think humans are and will always be, more creative, have a greater sense of beauty than our machines, we'll have a greater sense of the humanities and the arts, but why the humanities in the arts is so important. It gives us empathy for other people. It gives us creativity and what Steve Jobs understood so well was that the true value comes when you're a humanities person and you connect with engineering when you're an arts person and you connect with science technology should be there to give every person an equal opportunity. Instead of increasing this divide between the wealthy and the poor at the moment, we're seeing that divide, increase technology could say: every person has equal opportunities, equal chances can have a decent living and I think we have to use technology to make sure all of us participate In a revolution that creates a stronger economy instead of leaving people behind the way we're doing now, [ Music ], why do we still have conflict? And do you think that we are going to need the help of AI to ultimately find peace? You know we're flawed. All of us as humans, we have aggression in us. We have jealousy sinners and rivalries. We have tribal instincts, whether it's Sunni and Shia, whether it was a Protestants and Catholics in Northern Ireland, whether it's tribes, that feel they have to use aggression in order to assert themselves. How do we get over that hump? It'S not easy. We haven't figured it out. There is hope that technology by bringing us together by allowing us to share ideas, can give us more. Empathy. Just like art gives us more empathy. If you have empathy for the other, the other drive, the other person you're, far less likely to ever get into a conflict at its best technology and art can both promote that you [ Music, ]
