Insights from Zack Kass
Watch our full conversation here: Will AI Make Us More Human?
"We build a technology that solves most of our problems that is equivalent to us intellectually and obviously much more scalable, and that in the process we basically solve a bunch of problems that we've been working on for a long time, and our brains simply start devolving."
- Zack Kass"And at the same time, the standard of living should be continuing to improve (with AI), and it's better to be born today than it has ever been to be born. This is just a fact, and this trend should continue.
- Zack Kass"In the future, not be able to attach to our sense of self the same connection we had to our jobs as every human in most of human history has done so."
- Zack Kass"I really worry that if we're not careful, we will simply sort of devolve to a WALL-E state (...) because we simply say, 'You know what? The most interesting thing we can do is eat food and consume content.'"
- Zack Kass"We will blur the lines between what is real and what is not. And we will actually lose our way by sort of missing the whole point of what AI should be."
- Zack Kass"Every Industrial Revolution saw a net increase in 50%, at least 50% new jobs per capita. The world came online twice, and it's gonna come online again."
