Really? no, Really?

AI…A visionary’s unique take!


Listen Later

The man considered “The Godfather of A.I.” Geoffrey Hinton abruptly resigned from Google saying… a worst-case A.I. scenario could be on the horizon. With Big Tech companies going all-in on potentially apocalyptic technology while seemingly ignoring the “pause letter” concerned tech leaders created - we were left saying… Really, no,really?

Feeling that an informed discussion of A.I. and the potential destruction of humanity felt above their “pay grade”, Jason and Peter turned to Silicon Valley visionary Jaron Lanier

Computer scientist, composer, artist, and author, Jaron Lanier stands alone as the father of virtual reality, having coined the term and also mixed reality. He was chief scientist for Internet2, led startups that were acquired by Google, Adobe, Oracle, and Pfizer and Lanier's books include: You Are Not a Gadget: A Manifesto, Who Owns the Future? and Ten Arguments for Deleting Your Social Media Accounts Right Now.

He is also known as a constructive critic of technology.  

Issues Jason, Peter and Jaron discuss:

  • What ever happened to The Pause”?
  • Are A.I. hysterics worsening the underlying problem?
  • Ethically endowed A.I.
  • The reality of sentient and self-directed AI.
  • The dangers of “Ad sponsored A.I. manipulation”.
  • The design choice that gave us internet anonymity -and put us all in peril!
  • Society may be rooting for an A.I. apocalypse.
  • A TikTok be ban? Jaron’s opinion may surprise you.
  • Will the government turn off the Internet?

Guess who doesn’t Tweet or Tik or Tok… Jaron!
