Looks like there's a video we'll read down there to it.

Today, we built an app.

Here's Nate Soares, the head of the Machine Intelligence Research Institute.

It uses a website that already exists today called rentahuman.ai, where it rents humans to do things for it.

It's
Ted RallHOST
And it's like, wait, why did you do that? How did that happen?
Jeff DornikHOST
Well, it was interesting, because I had, I had a silica, like an AI, you know, expert on my on my show, Nate, Nate Soares, and fascinating talking to him, but he was explaining how AI works.
Jeff DornikHOST
And I think we all have this character because of how we've how we've understood how computer programming works.
Jeff DornikHOST
It's like zeros and ones and everything is very specific.
5 MINS LATER
Jeff DornikHOST
It's like...
Jeff DornikHOST
Like, I feel like that's kind of like what we, what we experienced with AI where it's like, if you're not uber specific and you don't, we, you don't, you don't, you don't, you don't put up the guardrails and even, but even then it will, it will go rogue sometimes.

Jeff DornikHOST
And then, so there's always like a natural result.
Ted RallHOST
I mean, these, yeah, God, the AI, the AI component of a government run wild is just, because, you know, it makes, AI makes mistakes, even when you're asking for something really simple from like Grok or ChatGPT and it's like, wait, why did you do that? How did that happen?
Jeff DornikGUEST
Well, it was interesting because I had an AI expert on my show, Nate Soares, and fascinating talking to him, but he was explaining how AI works.

Jeff DornikGUEST
It's like zeros and ones and everything is very specific.
Jeff DornikGUEST
Well, it was interesting.
Jeff DornikGUEST
Cause I had, um, I ha I had a, a, a silica, like a AI expert on my, on my show, um, uh, Nate, Nate Soares and, uh, fascinating talking to him, but he was explaining how AI works.
Jeff DornikGUEST
And I think we all have this character because of how we've how we've understood how computer programming works.

It's like zeros and ones, and everything is very specific, and if you do this, it'll have this result, whatever it is.
