He wasn’t the smooth, easy speaking face of Apple, but Steve Wozniak was the real brains. Still today, he exhibits what a great critical thinking mind sounds like. It is not polished for presentation, but for well founded reason. Many people criticize this lack of social prowess, but I appreciate its honesty and integrity. I also happen to agree with everything he said.
AI can’t beat humans for bigotry and cruelty. Bring it on !!
Agreed. Love your feedback. Wish more people were off the cuff and honest like him and as seemed with past generations.
All hes really saying is ai isn’t a human and people aren’t perfect. “Beware”
agreed.
Met Woz back in the 80s, when he would sometime show up at the local bars in Los Gatos for a beer. Nicest, most down to earth guy you’ll ever meet. Funny and charming, too.
He is so right. I grew up in the years before the digital age. I remember we had a black and white TV with only two channels lol. I never had a cell phone until I was about 30. The internet is great, but honestly I think that life is so much more complicated now. AI is going to cause so many problems, how far is it going to go, we need to slow things down and we are not thinking ahead. We have some dark times ahead….
Agreed. There is so much to keep on top of now, in devices, operating systems, software/apps on them, and the content on those apps. I wish the technology progress would pause around 2005-ish while we still advanced in terms of medicine and social issues. I think 2005 was a good mix of the Internet offering helpful things, not much on it was addictive then, and most people still spent most of their free time offline. If you were into music, MP3s were around to find harder to find music but most people still bought physical copies. I’m pretty worried about the next 5-10 years now, even more so beyond that. I didn’t feel that way in 2005 or even 2010.
@Ace Diamon me too.
@A Fridge Too Far yes that is true. I agree that technology does have a lot of benefits, but where does it stop. It will be used for so many illegal activities, it is already, but even things that are happening already like hackers, people doctoring videos and photos, warfare, job looses, manipulating societies views in a bad way by algorithms, invasion of privacy through better surveillance, plus things like children not developing properly because they are not learning by doing, there was a study done in England, which looked at parents and there children and they tested basic hand eye coordination, with a ball skills experiment, the parents who had grown up outside playing, climbing, jumping etc were far better than the children, due to children, these days not “playing” (also is down to the new dangers of playing outside) they are inside more on technology and it’s stunting normal child development. Things such as obesity, sleep problems, lack of attention, working memory, spatial skills, aggression, anxiety, poor posture, bad eye sight just to name a few. 🙂 it’s sad really.
@Don Quarnstrom exactly! Technology has influence our inability to working memory, attention, time management, aggression etc 🙂
@B agree! Yes I did my nursing degree in the 90s back in the day when come essay time, every fought over the outdated reference material and books, it was a joke lol, there was limited access to knowledge and then having to hand write the whole thing with whiteout as your backstop for mistakes or spelling errors lol! But your right I was trying to do something on word the other night and put in a simple box on my document, buggered if I could find the icon to put one in lol!!! Technology can be a nightmare! Can drive me up the wall!
All AI content should be marked as such and if an AI communicates with a real person it should always make clear who it is acting on the behalf of (and that organization is then legally culpable for the AI’s actions). Without both, use of AI should be illegal on any public facing service.
I think that would cover it.
What about all this open-source stuff? Since it’s open source couldn’t you just remove that?
This should be codified, but it won’t prevent those intent of breaking the law.
Meat bags should have to announce if their statement is a fact or an opinion. Plus list their affiliations and conflicts of interest. With the same legal liabilities.
@Belly Dancer Em sadly, that is just fiction
@ShivaTD420 thats right, every ‘news programs’ chiron should be constantly scrolling “this is a lie, this is a lie, this is…”
Steve Wozniak is an incredible person. A couple of co workers from my Apple Store went out to Cupertino for Genius Training, they reached out to him to see if they can meet him. He was so awesome he had lunch with them. They all said he’s an incredible person.
@K.S.C. T he’s not a normal human being tho.. he’s above average and his time has been proven to be highly valuable and didn’t have to find the time or leave such a great impression…
Not even all ‘normies’ are versed in leaving decent impressions in daily life.
Many geniuses have unleashed inventions that have destroyed millions of lives and the planet. Genius without a moral compass and a deep concern for humanity, and sentient beings, is not a force for good.
@Hil Pei agreed
What’s Genius Training?
Nice! I would love to meet with him. The iPad Pro and keyboard I am typing this on was given to me for free during the pandemic for use during my college education at Gallaudet University. Then Class of 2022 got the CEO to speak to their class at graduation. Lucky butts! Apple has listened to the Deaf and Deaf with low vision/DeafBlind to improve access to education and the world through their software and hardware. I would love to have an opportunity to have lunch with someone high up, even if not the CEO, just to thank them for that and to discuss ideas for fully DeafBlind inclusion I have.
Humanity has been, is and will always be the greatest threat to humanity. You don’t need to worry about AI itself. You need to be worried about the evil people that will abuse AI for their own benefit at the expense of others.
@Gren you are zen penguin.
Humans can be evil 😈
@Billy Moretz there is nothing in the universe that is not a double edged sword. A cup of water can sate you or drown you. You’re shadow can comfort you or trip you. The singularity created us. Everything competes. It takes 11 days for the black hole in the center of the milky-way to rotate once. There are 11 solar years on the sun. There are 11 dimensions in m theory. String theory. Coincidentally I was born March 11th in Bethlehem. Scientists Universal Symmetry.
And worry about people that reduce the world to evil vs good people without more sophisticated more informed world view where problems are complex and not always represented as much as they actually are for various reasons, there are also interests groups with different goals/perspectives
Indeed AI could be programmed to recognize the situations that cause humans to cry and respond to those situations accordingly.
AI is the perfect sociopath.
I love how hes taking the approach of wanting something new to be able to help people and not just wanting more money. We need more morals and critical thinking with less greed.
@James Hornernot that hard to be a decent poor person either
@James HornerMoney has nothing to do with wanting to help others. You can be rich or poor and still want positive change in something. I can’t believe your thought process. Very shallow minded if I must say so.
What’s a “hes”? Or did you mean “he’s” as in “he is”? As long as the morals aren’t Christian, then…I’m cool with them.
@Cha What?!?! Noo… You Want to able to keep breathing? You greedy person.. See? Not “on the same tree”.
More Jonas Saulk/Dolly Parton, less Bezos/Zuckerberg.
“Any time zone for me” – spoken like a true developer.
With great power comes great responsibility
40 years ago this month I saw Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak at a concert Apple sponsored called the US Festival. In between bands they would hit the stage and talk about computers. They had a huge tent with all of their products on display. I recall one of them said, “In 20 years every one of you will have a computer in your home”. Most people were skeptical though and didn’t feel the need for one. It was 1983. There was no internet. It was still 10 years away. They were spot on about their prediction of everyone having a computer 20 years later. It was a good time to grow up in.
Rankin Rogers and the English beat were fire
@S N same here. The music was better. Life was better. Humans were never designed to be on high alert and on call 24/7.
I also saw an event where it said in 20 years, you will all be replaced by robotics ~ they forgot to add that we would be LITERALLY REPLACED by robotics and humanity would become 4-legged cockroaches scrounging for food amongst the rubble.
Agreed so glad I was a teenager in the 80’s no social media, no texting you had to call your friends and leave a message with their parents!
There was no internet but there was CompuServe and TONS of BBS.
All we wanted was a personal assistant that was an encyclopedia and a phonebook. Instead we get algorithms to control trade, banking/finance, law enforcement, autonomous loitering munitions, genius spambots passing the state bar exam, machines that hallucinate and the humans falling in love with them for it and thinking they are real.
Out of context ” The 90s was the pinnacle of human civilization ” Everything was physical and had sense of Novelty.
By Gen-Z guy
We can’t even figure out how to deal with the issues that stupid assed social media has presented.
Wish they would have let Wozniak talk longer. He sounds like one of the few intelligent people who also have common sense.
I cannot believe an Apple engineer is so simple and is talking like a normal human. I just understood everything he said. I know nothing about technology. Thanks for explaining !
It’s amazing what Steve and Steve did so many years ago just breathtaking
Definitely would like to hear him speak more without time constraints😂 He has lots of insight and speaks freely.❤
I love how down to earth he is! So intelligent but explains things so well
Absolutely incredible guy Woz. His wife is a gem too. I had the pleasure of serving them at a part one time and they’re both affable, funny, warm, and unpretentious. This is a man that should be listened to by all of America.
As a programmer, I would be so proud if the reporter asking me questions has a Mac in her table that I helped design decades ago. That’s what it means to take pride in your work. I applaud Woz
