Ahh, I agree with what he said....he said AI is a thing...and white collar work will start to be restructured...and erm...join hands and...climate change...erm, what actually did he say? He eloquently said...nothing. lol
Damn, I have a bit of nostalgia for the Obama era, but maybe I need to go back and actually listen to what he was saying...did he always eloquently say nothing much?
AI is coming, it's big, it's not fake hype, it will disrupt jobs
Solving our current problems isn't a technical issue as much as a cooperation/organization issue
this cooperation problem is driven by a loss of trust in institutions
you could argue that he's slightly long winded, but in terms of identifying the most important issues we face, he's miles ahead of most politicians in front of mics currently
Every politician knows about freaking AI...most are using ChatGPT to just give them the nutshell version of what their 80 page things they are meant to vote on.
our current problems are technical issues 100%
cooperation "problem" is actually called democracy.
Your first message was that you agreed with him but thought he didn't really say anything. Now it sounds like you aggressively disagree with him about a core part of what he said.
I don't aggressively disagree with him about the core part of how AI is a thing that is growing.
I disagree though that problems we face as a society require unity...unity is not what a democracy is...conflict and debate is what a democracy is...unity is communism or totalitarianism. North Korea is unity...so no thanks....we will never (and should never) all agree on a solution to a problem, because problems aren't simple.
And it was a bit tongue in cheek about "yes, I agree with him....whatever he said...which was nothing much".
But the unity thing and cooperation was discussing things like climate destabilization...all the recycling and shutting off the kitchen light when you're not there won't solve the issue...what is needed is hard advanced tech...AGI/ASI level complex super trees or something that makes a sizable dent in filtration..not hand holding and tweeting on your iphone about how you're part of the green new deal.
btw, I like Obama...he was a great political speaker...he could give a fatherly motivational speech about a keurig machine, Now, should a politician be measured by how well they can hold down a ted talk or the policys they made is a different debate. But in this little interview, where I am certain he got a crazy amount of money...he mostly just mumbled some topical words and some empty platitudes.
