Chat GPT AI went from 0 to over 100Million users in less than 2 months. AI is super fucking dangerous, but it\u2019s inevitable, will make our lives better, and you should CAREFULLY love it.\nIs AI dangerous? Next to thermonuclear war and an asteroid strike, I\u2019d say it\u2019s the most radically dangerous threat that we face as a species. Buuuuut I\u2019m still super excited. And by the end of this video you will be too.\nIf you\u2019re terrified of AI right now, you\u2019re rational. If you\u2019re not at least worried it will take a wrong turn into James Cameron territory, you\u2019re not paying attention. To paraphrase Elon Musk, the human endeavor to create AI could be the first step towards a technological utopia or a demon summoning circle. It\u2019s not clear which way it will go. But one thing is for sure, we will not control it. And he\u2019s right, but the truth is, the genie is out of the bottle, and we\u2019re going to have to deal with it\nI fear it will be a bit of both.\nAI, which simply stands for Artificial Intelligence, is getting smart. Really smart. And AI doesn\u2019t have to outsmart us by much to completely dominate us. Let me give you an example for scale: A moron is technically someone with an IQ of about 70. The average IQ in the US is 98. Einstein was estimated to be 160. And according to the Guiness book of World Records, the highest IQ ever recorded came in at a whopping 210. That means that a super genius is only 3 times smarter than a moron. But Einstein, who was actually only 2.3 times smarter than a moron, had insights that gave birth to nuclear power and nuclear bombs, not to mention lasers, GPS, and a whole lot more. Said another way, a little intelligence goes a loooooooong way.\nNuclear warheads are scary enough, but AI isn\u2019t going to be a little smarter than Einstein, it\u2019s going to be a LOT smarter. Not 5 times smarter or 10 times or even 10,000 times smarter. We\u2019re talking millions of times smarter.\nDespite the reality of all the bad stuff that\u2019s coming, here are three traps we must avoid.\n1. Burying our heads in the sand.\n2. Panicking.\n3. Trying to abolish AI.\nPanicking is the same as actively taking your own intelligence offline. When you panic, blood leaves your prefrontal cortex, which is the seat of high level cognition. Therefore it actually makes you dumber. And in the face of artificial super intelligence that strikes me as a very bad idea.\n\nAre You Ready for EXTRA Impact?\nIf you\u2019re ready to find true fulfillment, strengthen your focus, and ignite your true potential, the Impact Theory subscription was created just for you.\nThis is not for the faint of heart.
