Ai Speech British Overlord. Ah, so this is what he really wanted from the ASBO.

This is the Gartner-Hype curve and has no scientific basis whatsoever. It's been debunked multiple times.

But yeah, I'm at the top of the rollercoaster.

It's kinda cool, like he'll never grow old enough for his copyright to expire.

Yeah, we use GPT to summarise things!

Wait.. isn't that what most people already do?

But surely that's all it takes? The human brain is just a multimodal network that processes language, visual, audio, and a bunch of other stuff.

Pay 10,000 Kenyans $2 a day to get more training data on more senses and train more networks. We'll have narrow AGIs in almost all areas. Just needs putting together with some clever insight from some genius.

>“Sure it has control over every element of our lives,” argued the first man. “But it’s not a real intelligence.

"It just predicts the next token!"

Wow, chatGPT pales in comparison. It sounds good, but there's truly nothing there.

I think it's from people who've been warning about what's coming for some time. Nobody has listened and so they're delighting in the chaos that AI will bring.

Have you previously grown vegetables? Many people (me included) thought it would be easy. It's very hard work for little returns. To make sufficient food just to sustain your home you'll need a couple of acres and possibly chickens. Buying seeds / compost etc is much more expensive than just buying vegetables from the store. This will be even more the case when AI makes big farming more efficient.

Or chatgpt...

Incorrect. 96% of all humans who have ever lived are dead.

I think the pyramids were cast using a mixture of limestone and granite. They might have built wooden frames (dyes) to cast the mixture, then once set, burnt the wood. There have been wooden structures found inside the great pyramid. This way, the building of the pyramid is easily explained. Lots of people lugging buckets up and down the structure to pour mixture into a dye. I can't conceive of any other way it could've been done.

They might have used heat or a chemical reaction (like concrete) to liquefy and solidify the mixture.

Postulated by a few yes, but universal consensus was unsure if they even existed.

Thanks for your explanation. As a layman, I find this stuff absolutely fascinating. I personally believe the Egyptian pyramids were cast like concrete. It seems the simplest explanation. It is strange to me that so many pyramid shapes popped up in different continents. Is it that the shape in particular is just attractive to humans, or was it part of a shared culture going further back as Hancock posits?

Also, is it true, as the documentary implies, that many stone circles are basically ancient calenders? That was most intriguing to me. I know when we look at star configurations over time that it can lead into '9-11 = -2 so 2022 is the 2nd coming of christ' territory, but i did find it fascinating.

Yes, sorry, I meant no other planets outside our system.

Sorry, I meant no other planets outside our system.

I'm not saying all archaeologists are stupid and have missed some clear writing on the wall, but I do think people can be close-minded in many areas of science. If you don't agree with what someone is saying then tell us why their ideas are stupid. Instantly labelling someone a crackpot (appreciate it wasn't you but you picked up the thread) immediately silences the debate and for a layman like me (not an archaeologist) I still don't understand why his ideas are wrong.

I'm probably mistaken about the carbon dating. I read something about the dating of something being changed. Again, not an archaeologist.

If someone said the earth was flat, I would laugh. But then if someone said explain to me why the earth isn't flat, I'd be able to absolutely prove the flat earther wrong with hoards of evidence.

So how is it that pyramids appear all over the world, supposedly made by hunter gatherers?

We universally acknowledged there was only 1 planet less than 100 years ago.. it means nothing that something is 'universally acknowledged'.

His theories don't seem that wild to me. We know that modern humans have existed for at least 100,000 years. Why wouldn't some of them behave like us and have civilisations?

Many of his claims are backed by evidence, such as new, more refined carbon dating estimates and newly discovered ancient sites.

Just because someone doesn't have an official degree in something doesn't make them any less credible. I run multiple businesses but never studied business in any formal setting. Did Leonardo Da Vinci have a degree in biology? Does his drawing on the human form have no value because he didn't have the proper credentials?

I think one should explain why they refer to someone as a crackpot first.

ELI5 why Graham is a crackpot? Which of his ideas is disproven?

I disagree, there are huge social benefits to school. Schooling will change, sure, but groups of children will still be required to socialise in a controlled setting.

He can't... he's currently unemployed
