• A lot of people think AI will never be alive
• what is the definition of life?
  • religion will tell you a few things
  • medicine will tell you other things
  • but if we define being sentient as
    • engaging in life with free will and
    • with a sense of awareness of
      • where you are in life and
      • what surrounds you and
      • to have a beginning of that life and
      • an end to that life
    • then AI is sentient in every way
    • there is a free will
    • and there is evolution
    • there is agency
      • so they can affect their decisions in the world
    • and there is a very deep level of consciousness
    • maybe not in the spiritual sense yet but
    • if you define consciousness as
      • a form of awareness of oneself and ones surrounding
      • and you know others
    • then AI is definitely aware"

it's not science at all it's

• like if you keep trying a million times your one time it will be right

• and it shows it to the camera it's locked as a yellow ball and

• I joke about it you know going to the third floor saying
• hey we spent all of those millions of dollars for a yellow board and
  • Monday morning, every one of them is picking every yellow ball
  • a couple of weeks later every one of them is picking everything right and
  • it it hit me very very strongly
• the speed
• the capability
  • understand that we take those things for granted
  • but for a child to be able to pick a yellow ball
    • is a mathematical / spatial calculation
      • with muscle coordination
      • with intelligence
    • it is not a simple task at all to cross the street
    • it's not a simple task at all
      • to understand what I'm telling you
      • and interpret it
      • and build Concepts around it
    • we take those things for granted
    • but there are enormous Feats of intelligence"
