Well, great stuff overall but i dont follow the keeping 2 developers argument though – they are typically cost centers not revenue centers like sales – so why would the company not want to cut the costs to have more profit? The typical explanation that they can just do / produce more useful output but that depends on whether the company can utilize or sell that output, etc – if they can they will keep the second dev but if there are clear limits on how much dev work they need to have done, they will gladly cut their costs. What am i missing? 🙂
You are saying nonsense. My website will disapear because AI is stealing all my hardworking content. So I will loose my business.
She has a few good points, but I still think she is wrong. I bet if you told the 80% of the population that worked in agricultural before the industrial revolution that in a couple of 100 years only 1% of the population would grow 10x the food that they grew now they would have though you mad.
No research, please understand the concern. 😊
Qué mal envejeció esta charla en unos pocos meses.

Sesame AI: Hold my beer
"My product is so good it could end the world" it is just marketing obviously
This video is already obsolete as AI has progressed beyond the experiences noted here
AI is a real threat.
Jennifer Golbeck is in her hallucination chamber. She is so human, by the time she finished her talk, AI have moved years ahead of her.
As intelligent people point out, AI is only going in one direction, which is that it's getting better and more powerful at a rapid rate. This video is only two months old and already it has dated badly. The plateau claim has already been shown to be false. This video is something of an own-goal -a rather stupid mistake. In fact, since this video was made we now have Deep Seek, which came as a surprise and a shock to the AI world, and tonight Feb 17th 2025 we expect Grok 3 to be released -very possibly the most power AI….so far. As I've said, the video has already dated badly.
2:26 LOL That's funnier than any joke it could tell imo
AI can't make good music.. EVER
Brilliant talk,
AI is like a search engine that makes a Frankenstein of a result from many related pieces.
It doesn't know meaning of the result it creates
It shows how quickly this domain is moving when a 2-month od video l8ke this is SEVERELY outdated.
Brilliant perspective.
🤡
It sounds like this woman is in denial about the rise of ai.
No matter if is getting better at its core or not, it is practical enough to change and automate so much in our society
Considering that I hear the claim that the larger long-term risks detract from the smaller near-term ones in virtually every debate, it's pretty difficult to take seriously. On the contrary, both have helped raise widespread awareness for the other rapidly.
She is totally right.
The main idea behind current AI is learning from an input of data and – based on the learning outcome – calculating probabilities of what is going to happen next. Adding more data to learn from and more computational powers will only decrease the probability of hallucination, but it is technically and physically impossible that the probabilities will be zero. AI hallucination is inevitable and anyone who says otherwise doesn't fully understand what AI is!!
You need infinite learning data and infinite computational power to to get 0% hallucination probability, we will never have either.
And this only applies to current AI, maybe in the future a new concept will emerge that will not depend on learning and calculating probabilities. Thats a different story.
The world will be destroyed by the AI overlords.
Which are the billionaire accelerationists.
That's their business model.
When will there be a CEO that is entirely AI?

Jennifer: AI is not so dangerous!
Military researcher developing autonomous lethal weapons: Hold my beer..
What an astonishing display of ignorance, lack of domain knowledge and analytical thinking.

They never learn. Cope / seethe / dilate.
The speaker has fundemental missunderstanding of the AI, it seems.
bias is good actually, you can create multiple model that are biased for their own culture and country
For your information. It was in Ukraine on 9 February 2024 that the world's first historical painting with 4 photos was presented in London and Athens during the war, created by the AI algorithm XFutuRestyle based on GPT-4
This the WORST it will ever be.
Not improbable. Virtually inevitable.
