00:00 Is AI about to take over the world?
00:04 Not if Elon Musk has anything to do with it.
00:07 This is a breaking story today as Elon Musk and other members of the tech community are
00:12 coming out with a strong stance against the quick progression of AI.
00:17 I'm Gav Blacksburg from Wolf Financial.
00:19 I'm here with Evan from Stock Market News.

00:26 And let's dive right into this battle going on between Elon Musk and AI development.
00:33 Evan, what's the breaking news today?
00:35 Yeah, so as you spoke about a little bit there, Elon Musk and a number of other AI researchers
00:41 have wrote an open letter to giant AI experiments.
00:46 So my first mind goes over to OpenAI, but there is a lot more into this.
00:52 We'll talk more about it.
00:54 I just want to quickly show you all the people kind of involved in this.
00:57 We've been talking about Elon Musk, and this is actually probably big news because he's
01:01 on it.
01:02 But there are a couple other notable names on here.
01:05 I don't know if any stand out to you the most, Wolf, besides Steve Wozniak for me, Apple
01:10 co-founder.
01:11 And then I know Ripple's also down there, a big company, but a couple of large names
01:15 on here.
01:16 There's a bunch more down this.
01:17 It was over a thousand people.
01:19 Steve Wozniak and Andrew Yang, I think kind of stand out as the most popular names that
01:24 are widely known.
01:25 But when you look through here, you do see a lot of people with strong backgrounds, authors,
01:31 professors, CEOs, co-founders of multiple companies.
01:35 Not sure what Pinterest is doing on here.
01:37 They're not really what I think of when I hear AI, but hey, maybe the guy was looking
01:40 for some publicity, throwing their name into the ring.
01:43 But yeah, just wanted to show you some of the people attached to this letter before
01:47 we started speaking about it.
01:49 And you guys can read it for yourselves.
01:51 We're not going to read it from the screens, but they're really talking about the underlying
01:55 power of AI.
01:57 There's a lot of people who are really excited about the future of this.
02:00 And as you can see from what we're reading here and what we'll be talking about, there's
02:04 a couple of people worried about what AI could become.
02:08 There's a lot of questions they're asking here, and we kind of pitched at the start
02:11 of this.
02:12 One of the questions in the second part is, should we risk loss of control of our civilizations?
02:17 I know we've all seen the movies from iRobot to Westworld and so many more.
02:23 I don't know if you have any ones of those that you're a fan of, Wolf, but a lot going
02:27 on in this area.
02:28 And this is kind of the first part of them really setting it up.
02:31 I want to know if you have any thoughts on this area.
02:33 The question that actually stood out to me the most was, should we automate away all
02:38 jobs, including the fulfilling ones?
02:41 Basically stating there's a little bit of a discrepancy happening here between the original
02:44 intentions for AI, which were to perhaps enhance what humans were doing and take over menial
02:49 tasks versus the way that it's going, where now they believe that it's actually taking
02:53 away from real human fulfillment.
02:56 Things that make people happy, things that bring people emotions, right, are all being
03:00 automated.
03:01 And that seems to be where there's a lot of concern.
03:03 So yeah, a lot of great points that they proposed here and discussed.
03:06 Just moving through some of this, we come to kind of their grand proclamation, which
03:12 was this bolded line at the top where they called on all AI labs to immediately pause
03:17 for at least six months.
03:18 The training of AI systems more powerful than GPT-4.
03:21 I think they included that last part because of course, these companies are not going to
03:24 shut down.
03:25 They're going to continue to work on their models and train them.
03:28 But they're basically stating, you know, let's not take this to the next level just yet until
03:31 we have a good idea of what that level is.
03:34 These are people who are far smarter than myself.
03:36 So I'm going to give them benefit of the doubt that whatever they're seeing with the future
03:40 of AI, there is potential dangers.
03:42 But at the same time, these are also a lot of competitors, right, to open AI who we know
03:47 this letter is addressed to.
03:49 And open AI is likely going to see this and, you know, hey, this is just our competitors
03:53 telling us to stop doing what we're doing.
03:55 And there's a lot of people who take that mindset of if people are telling you to stop
03:58 what you're doing, you're probably doing something right.
04:01 And I could just see, you know, Sam and the rest of that team just using this as a little
04:04 bit of motivation, like GPT-5 out next month.
04:07 We are on a roll.
04:08 So it's hard to see where this is actually going to end up going.
04:11 But yeah, this was their big call was calling on everyone to stop this for six months.
04:15 It was an open letter put out, signed by a bunch of important people.
04:18 Any other main takeaways here, Evan?
04:21 Yeah, I think the bottom of the middle paragraph, that does not mean a pause on AI development
04:26 in general, merely a stepping back from the dangerous race to ever larger, unpredictable
04:32 black box models with emergent capabilities.
04:36 So I do think that kind of is an underlying there of what you were talking about with
04:41 just maybe some of these people falling behind a little bit in some of the areas.
04:45 I think everything goes back to chat, GPT and open AI.
04:49 And it feels like they're really far ahead of everyone else.
04:53 And the fact that they're directly mentioned here, and it's kind of like you guys wait
04:56 up and let's let everyone catch up.
04:59 That is how I kind of read this part of it.
05:02 Yeah, for me, having used open AI extensively and starting to use BARD, I can see what they're
05:07 worried about with open AI.
05:09 It's so teachable, right?
05:11 It's not like a typical human or a VA or all these jobs that right now exist where you
05:15 have to actually put people through a legit training, answer questions from them.
05:20 You could develop a system with open AI where you write a script and say, this is who you
05:24 are, this is your job, this is how you do it.
05:27 And it's just going to do that, right?
05:28 It doesn't need to have necessarily that educational component, especially as it gets better and
05:33 better.
05:34 Open AI has gotten very familiar with my writing style, it's gotten very familiar with what
05:37 I want from it.
05:38 It knows when I want it to use emojis, not emojis, hashtags, not hashtags, space lines,
05:42 double spacing, right?
05:44 There's a lot of different pieces within that.
05:45 I'm just using it for very simple things, versus people that are using this to, you
05:49 know, build rockets, right?
05:52 Potential space travel, fight wars.
05:55 There's a lot of potential use cases that they do want them to slow down on in this
05:59 mix.
06:00 So I think it's an interesting letter.
06:02 It's kind of curious.
06:03 There's one more page to this that we did want to show people.
06:05 Evan, anyone, anything standing out to you from this last piece here?
06:08 No, nothing too much for me on this one.
06:11 I don't know if there's anything for you here, but I think the middle one is really kind
06:14 of where the meat of it is.
06:17 But they're talking through kind of some of what they want government to do in here.
06:21 There should be a minimum, kind of what they want the minimum to be and what they want
06:26 the regulatory landscape to be and everything along that.
06:29 Did anything stand out to you, Wolf?
06:31 Yeah, this seems to be a little bit of a call to government, in my opinion.
06:35 There's been very little regulation that I've seen around AI.
06:38 It's not something that's necessarily been discussed.
06:40 I think that by putting this out there, they're also taking a little bit of a plea at Congress
06:44 to maybe start talking about this more, right?
06:47 Right now, Congress is very focused on things like TikTok, Russia, right, other areas.
06:52 AI has not been that main focus.
06:55 But as we know, the government is probably looking at how they're going to use this for
06:59 their own good, right?
07:00 And they've probably been working on stuff in the back end.
07:02 And the government's probably not super incentivized either to slow down the role of this, especially
07:06 if they have potential to use it for US benefits.
07:10 So there's kind of a couple contradictory pieces here.
07:13 But yeah, overall, the things that they want to implement, right, regulatory authority,
07:17 highly capable tracking, pieces like that.
07:21 This all seems to be stemming from the fact that OpenAI started as a nonprofit and has
07:26 mitigated over to being a for-profit company.
07:30 They are very, it seems to be anti the open source, right?
07:33 They don't want to show people their source code, show people what they're working on
07:37 at all times.
07:39 And I understand that, right, coming from a company, but Elon Musk, who donated $100
07:43 million to this company and was one of the co-founders, probably has a harder time understanding
07:48 it, right?
07:49 Do you think that's where a lot of this is coming from is a little bit of kind of the
07:51 betrayal that Elon might feel?
07:54 So we don't really know the exits of how he left.
07:57 So I don't know if betrayal is how he's feeling in order to really just kind of in the business
08:01 aspect of it.
08:02 I don't really think they're that far behind.
08:04 I really think OpenAI has their big flashy new model and we'll see how other stuff catch
08:09 up.
08:10 But there are a lot of companies that have been talking about AI for a really long time.
08:14 And you know, this is definitely one of them.
08:16 They're definitely near the top and they're probably at the top right now.
08:19 But I just wonder what's happening on the underlying layers.
08:23 And one would think that Tesla with full self-driving would hopefully not be far behind and they're
08:29 making their own robot.
08:30 So we'll see where they're coming.
08:32 But I just think that the way he's speaking just doesn't make me feel as a shareholder
08:36 and truthfully a fan, doesn't make me feel like the robot is anywhere close if I'm being
08:42 real on that one.
08:43 So I don't know if it's what the emotion is on the underlying, but just from a business
08:49 standpoint and just kind of where everything is, I don't know.
08:53 It doesn't make me think they're first.
08:56 But I think the one other underlying thing is that like, I feel like for so long AI has
09:01 been close and it kind of businesses like it.
09:04 And it feels like it's kind of like at the start of it really coming on and real use
09:08 cases.
09:09 We've been talking about it for a little and it's interesting to see real kind of stuff
09:14 happening from it.
09:15 Yeah.
09:16 So speaking of those real stuff coming from it, a lot of people might have watched this
09:20 video.
09:21 You may have never used chat GPT, OpenAI.
09:23 There's a lot of use cases just to break down some that may be like really easy for people
09:27 to understand how powerful this is.
09:30 This video that went viral, you could see 5.3 million views and 1.39 million video views
09:35 was from Rowan Chung basically showing how he watched chat GPT-4 turn a hand-drawn sketch
09:42 into a functional website.
09:43 Somebody literally took a napkin, drew on the napkin, you know, header here, this here,
09:48 and GPT went ahead and built that into an HTML website.
09:52 That obviously showing how much it can replace potential coding needs, pieces like that.
09:56 And on the right side here, this one extremely vile from Ethan Mollick, just showing that
10:00 chat GPT passes basically every high level exam.
10:04 The bar exam, 90%, LSATs, 88%, GRE quantitative, 80%, verbal, 99%, every AP, the SAT, right?
10:12 And so then it becomes, our kids are going to use this for cheating on things, right?
10:16 Our students can be using this.
10:18 If it can pass all these, what else is it capable of?
10:20 So there was just a lot of use cases, just two more to throw out right here.
10:24 Somebody, this one has been basically the viral use case that started a lot of GPT threads
10:29 was somebody gave a budget of $100 to GPT said it make as much money as possible.
10:34 It's since then turned that into, I don't know, it's like 10,000 plus dollars.
10:39 And they're basically documenting the whole thing online.
10:42 And then the right side, similar to the other one, someone said just, you know, you are
10:45 an AI programming assistant, you're going to follow the user requirements, basically
10:49 building an iPhone app that recommends five new movies every day with trailers and where
10:53 to watch.
10:54 And it literally built an iPhone app that was able to, and it built trailers, right?
11:00 It was pulling from different areas of the internet and showing this.
11:03 So this is, you know, what might've been months of work for a human that GPT can do in a matter
11:08 of minutes.
11:09 So just an insane computing capability that we wanted to just display for y'all.
11:14 But I think we've covered everything pretty well when it comes to GPT and what's going
11:20 on.
11:21 We're going to give updates on the situation.
11:22 Maybe OpenAI gives a response.
11:23 Do you think this has any legs to it?
11:25 Do you think anything happens to it?
11:26 Or do you think this is just kind of an open letter that nothing comes of?
11:30 I think nothing comes of this.
11:31 I definitely don't think that OpenAI is going to give it a second thought.
11:34 If anything, they're going to use it, in my opinion, as motivation to continue building
11:39 what they are building.
11:40 So that's where I think this is going.
11:43 But you know, shout out to all the CEOs and smart people that threw their name on the
11:47 letter and are giving publicity this morning.
11:49 I have no idea what AI is capable of at the end of the day and where it's going to be
11:53 in six months from now.
11:54 But I'm fascinated to see where it goes.
11:56 I don't think that it's necessarily going to replace what we do because we host spaces
11:59 all day long.
12:00 There's a lot of emotion and relationship building and quick drawing from many places
12:05 that goes into that.
12:07 But I feel for those that may have their industry start getting replaced.
12:12 And I hope that they are paying attention and learning these tools so that they can
12:15 maximize them rather than getting replaced by them.
12:18 That's how I would cap it off.
12:19 But one more time, I want to remind everybody to like this video.
12:23 Subscribe please to the channel that you're watching this on.
12:25 We put out very valuable videos once, twice a week.
12:28 Anything else you want to leave the audience with, Evan?
12:32 You know, first, I kind of overall do agree.
12:34 I don't think much is going to be coming of this one.
12:37 Maybe some conversations off of it with this is really big news, or only being covered
12:41 like this because Elon was on it.
12:43 So I wonder if we have some discussions between Elon Musk and OpenAI, kind of public talks
12:48 about that one and see how that develops.
12:50 So that's what I'm watching for with that.
12:53 Besides that, I just I appreciate everyone for watching.
12:57 Make sure you give the video a like, leave a comment, and we'll catch you on the next
13:00 one.
13:01 We're trying to do a lot more of these videos, so make sure you're subscribed.
13:05 Sounds good.
